Background. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, has led to widespread illness and global health challenges. While phase of infection been extensively studied, long-term effects, particularly in individuals who have recovered, remain unclear. Post-acute complications SARS-CoV-2 involves prolonged symptoms systemic disorders, including persistent inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, immune dysregulation, which often last for months. Among key factors contributing these conditions, there are pro-inflammatory cytokines, growth involved angiogenesis, hypoxia-inducible stress-related proteins, play a significant role tissue repair response modulation. The research aimed evaluate degree determine levels pro-angiogenic factors, сellular hypoxia marker HIF-1α, heat shock such as HSP60 HSP70, plasma healthy donors recovered from COVID-19, with particular focus on relationship between biomarkers anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG titers. Materials methods. This ages 25 45 years, had COVID-19 at least 3 6 months prior beginning study. All patients were divided into groups based their inflammatory TNF-α, transcription factor NF-κB, angiogenic VEGF, PDGF FGF-2, hypoxic proteins measured enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Group differences analyzed using ANOVA Tukey’s test or Kruskal-Wallis Dunn’s test, presenting results median interquartile range, significance p ≤ 0.05. Results. study found parameters among donor varying There was an increase markers, TNF-α higher PDGF, FGF-2 showed distinct patterns, VEGF generally reduced, except group titers 95 ± 5 125 10 Index (S/C), where they significantly increased. notably 175 (S/C). HIF-1α also increased 75 (S/C) compared those without IgG. In contrast, HSP70 reduced all reference group, could indicate possible abnormalities mechanisms stress after COVID-19. Conclusions. Our suggest that activation, angiogenesis-related pathways crucial pathogenesis post-COVID-19 complications, underscoring need therapeutic strategies address chronic impaired recovery.
