Circulating endothelial cells. Biomarker of vascular disease.
Recent research has recognised new populations of non-hematopoietic cells in the blood. One of these, circulating endothelial cells (CECs), often defined by the expression of membrane glycoprotein CD146, are rarely found in the blood in health, but raised numbers are present in a wide variety of human conditions, including inflammatory, immune, infectious, neoplastic and cardiovascular disease,...
متن کاملEpileptic seizures increase circulating endothelial cells in peripheral blood as early indicators of cerebral vascular damage.
Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) are nonhematopoetic mononuclear cells in peripheral blood that are dislodged from injured vessels during cardiovascular disease, systemic vascular disease, and inflammation. Their occurrence during cerebrovascular insults has not been previously described. Epileptic seizures cause the long-term loss of cerebrovascular endothelial dilator function. We hypothe...
متن کاملCirculating endothelial cells as a marker of endothelial damage in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Damage to endothelial cells is the common feature of vascular disorders associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Elevated numbers of circulating endothelial cells reflect the extent of endothelial damage in a variety of disorders but their use in HSCT has not been investigated so far. We studied 39 patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT with different conditioning regimens a...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate to Endothelial Cells Using Recombinant Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor –A
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), an endothelial cell-specific mitogen produced by various cell types, plays important roles in cell differentiation and proliferation. In this study we investigated the effect of recombinant VEGF-A on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to endothelial cells (ECs). Methods: VEGF-A was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and BL21...
متن کاملRole of Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Micro Vascular Damage in Sickle Cell Patients
The vascular wall participates in the pathogenesis of sickle cell disease (SCD). Circulating Endothelial progenitor cells (cEPCs) also play a key role in the vascular pathology of SCD, including the painful crisis. In previous investigations, reduced levels of cEPCs were found in conditions in which vascular injury is implicated such as myocardial infarction. The aim of this research is to stud...
