Angiopoietin-2 is constitutively expressed by EC, but expression by other cell types has been described, including myofibroblasts in healing wounds (29) and monocytes during sepsis (30), so our description of a subset of fibrocytes making angiopoietin-2 after stimulation with coagulation proteases is consistent with these previous reports. This evidence concerns the gene ANGPT2 and Sepsis.
