The Wnt antagonist Dickkopf-1 increases endothelial progenitor cell angiogenic potential.
OBJECTIVE To determine the role of Wnt antagonist Dickkopf (DKK) 1 in human endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) in view of the emerging importance of Wnt pathways in vascular biology. METHODS AND RESULTS Endothelial progenitor cells have been proposed to be crucial in tumor neovascularization. Recombinant DKK1 has been tested in ECFC angiogenic properties in vitro. DKK1 enhanced ECFC pro...
متن کاملThe Wnt antagonist Dickkopf-1 mobilizes vasculogenic progenitor cells via activation of the bone marrow endosteal stem cell niche.
Therapeutic mobilization of vasculogenic progenitor cells is a novel strategy to enhance neovascularization for tissue repair. Prototypical mobilizing agents such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor mobilize vasculogenic progenitor cells from the bone marrow concomitantly with inflammatory cells. In the bone marrow, mobilization is regulated in the stem cell niche, in which endosteal cells...
متن کاملGATA6 Activates Wnt Signaling in Pancreatic Cancer by Negatively Regulating the Wnt Antagonist Dickkopf-1
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease characterized by late diagnosis and treatment resistance. Recurrent genetic alterations in defined genes in association with perturbations of developmental cell signaling pathways have been associated with PDAC development and progression. Here, we show that GATA6 contributes to pancreatic carcinogenesis during the temporal prog...
متن کاملAngiogenic potential of endothelial progenitor cells and embryonic stem cells
BACKGROUND Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are implicated in a range of pathological conditions, suggesting a natural therapeutic role for EPCs in angiogenesis. However, current angiogenic therapies involving EPC transplantation are inefficient due to rejection of donor EPCs. One solution is to derive an expanded population of EPCs from stem cells in vitro, to be re-introduced as a therapeu...
متن کاملHeme oxygenase-1 increases endothelial progenitor cells.
OBJECTIVE Induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protects against atherosclerotic disease in part by promoting reendothelialization. As endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to reendothelialization, we examined the role of HO-1 on bone marrow and circulating EPCs. METHODS AND RESULTS In a rabbit model of aortic balloon injury, pharmacological induction of HO-1 enhanced reendothelializa...
