It is well recognized that arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) used for hemodialysis access have better primary patency rates with less restenosis than polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts; however, the mechanism responsible for this is not known. Recent data suggest that hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) is associated with vascular restenosis, possibly through mechanisms that increase the production of macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9, and their inhibitors (tissue inhibitor of MMPs; TIMP). The present study tested the hypothesis that there are differences in the expression patterns of HIF-1 alpha, MIF, MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMPs in specimens removed from patients with AVFs and PTFE grafts.
