Vascular Medicine Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells Do Not Contribute to Plaque Endothelium in Murine Atherosclerosis
Background—It has been reported that circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) home to and differentiate into endothelial cells after various kinds of arterial injury. By inference, EPCs are also proposed to be important in the most important arterial disease, atherosclerosis, but the evidence for this theory is not clear. In the present study, we assessed the contribution of circulating ...
متن کاملCirculating vascular progenitor cells do not contribute to compensatory lung growth.
The biological principles that underlie the induction and process of alveolization in the lung as well as the maintenance of the complex lung tissue structure are one of the major obstacles in pulmonary medicine today. Bone marrow-derived cells have been shown to participate in angiogenesis, vascular repair, and remodeling of various organs. We addressed this phenomenon in the lung vasculature ...
متن کاملProgenitor cells in pulmonary vascular remodeling
Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by cellular and structural changes in the walls of pulmonary arteries. Intimal thickening and fibrosis, medial hypertrophy and fibroproliferative changes in the adventitia are commonly observed, as is the extension of smooth muscle into the previously non-muscularized vessels. A majority of these changes are associated with the enhanced presence of α-SM-a...
متن کاملCirculating Vascular Progenitor Cells in Moyamoya Disease
Various approaches have been attempted in translational moyamoya disease research. One promising material for modeling and treating this disease is vascular progenitor cells, which can be acquired and expanded from patient peripheral blood. These cells may provide a novel experimental model and enable us to obtain insights regarding moyamoya disease pathogenesis. We briefly present the recent a...
متن کاملIncreased circulating endothelial progenitor cells in patients with bacterial pneumonia: evidence that bone marrow derived cells contribute to lung repair.
BACKGROUND Tissue repair often occurs in organs damaged by various inflammatory diseases including pneumonia. Inflammatory stimuli induce a rapid and massive release of inflammatory cells from the bone marrow. Recent studies have suggested that bone marrow cells have the potential to differentiate into a variety of cell types. It has been shown that administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to...
