In Vitro Characterization of Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells Isolated from Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
BACKGROUND The current understanding of the functional characteristics of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) is limited, especially in patients affected by cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we have analyzed the in vitro clonogenic capacity of circulating EPC, also known as endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFC), in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), in comparison to...
متن کاملEndothelial cell nitric oxide production in acute chest syndrome.
Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is the most common form of acute pulmonary disease associated with sickle cell disease. To investigate the possibility that alterations in endothelial cell (EC) production and metabolism of nitric oxide (NO) products might be contributory, we measured NO products from cultured pulmonary EC exposed to red blood cells and/or plasma from sickle cell patients during crisi...
متن کاملCirculating endothelial cells in acute ischaemic stroke.
Increased numbers of CD146-bearing circulating endothelial cells (CECs) in the peripheral blood probably represent the most direct evidence of endothelial cell damage. As acute ischaemic strokes are associated with endothelial abnormalities, we hypothesised that these CECs are raised in acute stroke, and that they would correlate with the other indices of endothelial perturbation, i.e. plasma v...
متن کاملCirculating endothelial cells in acute coronary syndromes.
We read with interest Stefanec’s1 comments about our work on circulating endothelial cells (CECs) in acute coronary syndromes.2 We feel, however, that most of these comments are inaccurate. First, Stefanec claims that we found no circulating endothelial cells in controls. We did in fact find a small number of cells in some control patients, but these cells were outside the interquartile and med...
متن کاملAcute chest syndrome in sickle-cell disease.
25 consecutive episodes of acute chest syndrome in 13 adult patients with sickle-cell disease were studied retrospectively. Chest symptoms were present on admission in 23 of 25 episodes. Abnormal chest signs and an abnormal chest X-ray were present on admission in only 11 and 9 episodes, respectively, but developed later in the remainder. The 9 episodes with bilateral radiological changes were ...
