Transcripts of angiogenic factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (vegfa FC -1.48, p = 0.01) and IL6 (il6ra FC -1.54, p = 0.03), associated with tissue repair after APAP-ALI,56 were also decreased (Fig. 5H), indicating that neutrophils are involved in hepatic angiogenesis, as seen in other conditions.16 This evidence concerns the gene IL6R and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
