Vasoactive effect of fibronectin‐derived epiviosamine‐1 and related peptides in quiescent and stress models

Abstract

Following thermal burn injury, plasma fibronectin degrades within the interstitium; one possible product is EVA‐1, PSHISKYILRWRPK found within the FNIII1. EVA‐1 ameliorates thermal burn injury progression, and binds to and enhances PDGF‐BB in promoting cell metabolism, growth and survival; shorter related peptides lose these abilities. Here we study the effect of EVA‐1 and shorter peptides for their vasoactivity under quiescent and stress conditions.
