Figure 2.

FGF-2, HGF, sVEGFR-2, sHER-2/neu, G-CSF, and SCF, which participate as angiogenic and tumor progression factors, showed lower serum concentrations in women with COPD-BS than women with COPD-TS (n = 70). Bars represent Ln of ng/mL, median (interquartile range). (A) FGF-2, (B) HGF, (C) sVEGFR-2, (D) sHER-2/neu, (E) G-CSF, and (F) SCF. COPD-BS, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from exposure to BS; COPD-TS, COPD from smoking; FGF-2, fibroblast growth factor; HGF, hepatocyte growth factor; sVEGFR-2, soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2; SHER-2/neu, soluble human epidermal growth factor 2; G-CSF, granulocyte colony. *P < 0.01, ***P < 0.0001.
