Comparison of the diagnostic values of vascular adhesion protein-1 and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein in the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia.
This study investigated the expression of vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) in SLE patients with conjunctivitis and the relationship between VAP-1 and other proteins in the onset of the disease.

In conclusion, VAP-1 plasma concentration, rather than its SSAO activity, may represent a non-invasive biomarker for monitoring fibrogenesis in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection.
<b>Purpose:</b> VAP-1 plays a crucial role in inflammation, oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction which are main pathophysiologic mechanisms for gestational diabetes.
According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, a VAP-1 cut-off value of 541 ng/mL predicted histologically confirmed cirrhosis (sensitivity 74%; specificity 72%).
Therefore, we investigated the expression of VAP-1 within the CNS vasculature in two focal rat models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mimicking multiple sclerosis (MS).
Collectively, our study suggests that the increased expression of VAP-1 is detrimentally associated with the development of GVHD and that the blockade of VAP-1 could be a promising medical modality to combat the acute and chronic variants.-Mukai, S., Ogawa, Y., Kawakami, Y., Mashima, Y., Tsubota, K. Inhibition of vascular adhesion protein-1 for treatment of graft-versus-host disease in mice.
In addition, these individuals had significantly higher VAP-1 and MDA concentration and lower enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant-status, suggesting that psoriatic patients carrying C allele of AT1R<sub>1166</sub> polymorphism may be more susceptible to cardiovascular disease and myocardial infarction compared with A allele.
Analgesic effects of the novel semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase inhibitor SZV 1287 in mouse pain models with neuropathic mechanisms: Involvement of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 and ankyrin 1 receptors.
VAP-1 expression is increased in PSC, facilitates adhesion of gut-tropic lymphocytes to liver endothelium in a substrate-dependent manner, and elevated levels of its circulating form predict clinical outcome in patients.
Immunohistochemical staining results showed VAP-1 negative or weak staining in normal ducts and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), but these phenotypes were positively associated with a stiffened VAP-1 that presented at the invasive front of the lesion.
