Endothelial progenitor cells at work: not mature yet, but already stress-resistant.
Tissue replacement in the adult organism by cell-specific differentiation of autologous stem/progenitor cells has evolved as a fascinating concept in stem cell biology. After organ damage, bone marrow–derived circulating or tissueresident progenitor cells are thought to differentiate toward the type of cell needed for repair. According to this concept, maturation of these cells would be expecte...
متن کاملMobilizing endothelial progenitor cells.
Mobilization of endogenous endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from the bone marrow may be an alternative way to increase neovascularization and may be used as therapeutic option for the treatment of ischemic cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we discuss the EPC mobilizing effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as granolocyte monocyte colony-stimulating factor and granulocyte colony-s...
متن کاملHuman endothelial progenitor cells.
Human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been generally defined as circulating cells that express a variety of cell surface markers similar to those expressed by vascular endothelial cells, adhere to endothelium at sites of hypoxia/ischemia, and participate in new vessel formation. Although no specific marker for an EPC has been identified, a panel of markers has been consistently used as...
متن کاملEffect of Scurrula atropurpurea on nitric oxide, endothelial damage, and endothelial progenitor cells of DOCA-salt hypertensive rats
Objective(s):To know whether Scurrula atropurpurea is able to modulate total plasma nitrate/nitrite levels, decrease endothelial damage, and increase endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in hypertensive rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided in 5 groups: control (normotensive) group, Desoxy cortico sterone (DOCA)-salt hypertensive group, and three DOCA-salt hypertensive groups. All 5...
