Enhanced revascularization of the ischemic limb by angiogenic therapy.
BACKGROUND This study tests the efficacy of an angiogenic growth factor, endothelial cell growth factor, in a rabbit model of persistent hindlimb ischemia. METHODS AND RESULTS Ischemia was induced in the left hindlimb of 22 New Zealand White rabbits by ligation of the distal external iliac artery and complete excision of the common and superficial femoral arteries. Two groups of animals were ...
متن کاملTIE2-expressing monocytes/macrophages regulate revascularization of the ischemic limb
A third of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) will eventually require limb amputation. Therapeutic neovascularization using unselected mononuclear cells to salvage ischemic limbs has produced modest results. The TIE2-expressing monocytes/macrophages (TEMs) are a myeloid cell subset known to be highly angiogenic in tumours. This study aimed to examine the kinetics of TEMs in patients wit...
متن کاملAnti-ischemic activity of carnosine.
This review summarizes the data on anti-ischemic activity of carnosine. The pronounced anti-ischemic effects of carnosine in the brain and heart are due to the combination of antioxidant and membrane-protecting activity, proton buffering capacity, formation of complexes with transition metals, and regulation of macrophage function. In experimental cerebral ischemia, carnosine decreases mortalit...
متن کاملCx37 deletion enhances vascular growth and facilitates ischemic limb recovery.
The unique contributions of connexin (Cx)37 and Cx40, gap junction-forming proteins that are coexpressed in vascular endothelium, to the recovery of tissues from ischemic injury are unknown. We recently reported that Cx37-deficient (Cx37(-/-)) animals recovered ischemic hindlimb function more quickly and to a greater extent than wild-type (WT) or Cx40(-/-) animals, suggesting that Cx37 limits r...
متن کاملRemote limb ischemic conditioning enhances motor learning in healthy humans.
Brief bouts of sublethal ischemia have been shown to protect exposed tissue (ischemic conditioning) and tissues at remote sites (remote ischemic conditioning) against subsequent ischemic challenges. Given that the mechanisms of this protective phenomenon are multifactorial and epigenetic, we postulated that remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) might enhance mechanisms responsible for neural...
