SDF1 Gene Variation Is Associated with Circulating SDF1α Level and Endothelial Progenitor Cell Number–The Bruneck Study
BACKGROUND Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF1) and its receptor CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) play a critical role in progenitor cell homing, mobilization and differentiation. It would be interesting to assess the predictive value of SDF-1alpha level for EPC number, and to ascertain whether there is a relationship between SDF1 gene variation, plasma SDF-1alpha level, and the number and func...
متن کاملThe Level of Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cell Is Associated with Cerebral Vasoreactivity: A Pilot Study
Endothelial progenitor cell is known to be able to repair injured vessels. We assessed the hypothesis that endothelial progenitor cell also modulates cerebral endothelial function in healthy status. We used transcranial color-coded sonography to measure middle cerebral arterial vasoreactivity to CO2 (breath-holding index) in healthy subjects and observed its relationship with the number of circ...
متن کاملCirculating endothelial progenitor cells exhibit diurnal variation.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are circulating bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells that have the potential to promote postnatal neovascularization and endothelial repair.1 Reduced numbers of EPCs have been demonstrated in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and those with cardiac risk factors including smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and increasing age.2...
متن کاملAging is associated with a proapoptotic endothelial progenitor cell phenotype.
The aim of this study was to determine if aging is associated with enhanced endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) sensitivity to apoptosis. Cells with phenotypic EPC characteristics were isolated from healthy, nonobese young (age 25 ± 1 years) and older (61 ± 1 years) men. Intracellular active caspase-3 concentrations in response to staurosporine stimulation were approximately 35% higher (p < 0.05)...
متن کاملCirculating Endothelial Progenitor Cell and Platelet Microparticle Impact on Platelet Activation in Hypertension Associated with Hypercholesterolemia
AIM The purpose of this project was to evaluate the influence of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and platelet microparticles (PMPs) on blood platelet function in experimental hypertension associated with hypercholesterolemia. METHODS Golden Syrian hamsters were divided in six groups: (i) control, C; (ii) hypertensive-hypercholesterolemic, HH; (iii) 'prevention', HHin-EPCs, HH ...
