Abstract
ADAMTS-1 was significantly upregulated in thrombosed hemodialysis grafts by mass spectrometric analysis and Western blot analysis. Expression was localized to adventitial macrophages and leukocytes. It is hypothesized that ADAMTS-1 may be related to intimal hyperplasia in hemodialysis vascular access grafts. Future work is planned on inhibiting ADAMTS-1 expression and determining the effect on intimal hyperplasia in hemodialysis grafts.
