Recently, angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) was identified as a ligand of the endothelial receptor tyrosine kinase, Tie-2. Ang-2 is an angiopoietin-1 antagonist that plays a role in vascular destabilization and remodelling, which may increase in some diseases. However, serum Ang-2 levels have not been evaluated in patients with COPD. In this study, we examined serum Ang-2 concentrations in patients experiencing COPD exacerbations and in patients with stable COPD.
