چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) on in vivo mobilization of CD34(+)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) 2(+) mononuclear cells and collateral vessel remodeling in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia. METHODS AND RESULTS We observed that treatment of Sv129 mice with continuous infusion of 200-μg/kg rhIL-11 per day led to in vivo mobilization of CD34(+)/VEGFR2(+) cells that peaked at 72 hours. Sv129 mice pretreated with rhIL-11 for 72 hours before femoral artery ligation showed a 3-fold increase in plantar vessel perfusion, leading to faster blood flow recovery; and a 20-fold increase in circulating CD34(+)/VEGFR2(+) cells after 8 days of rhIL-11 treatment. Histologically, experimental mice had a 3-fold increase in collateral vessel luminal diameter after 21 days of rhIL-11 treatment and a 4.4-fold influx of perivascular CD34(+)/VEGFR2(+) cells after 8 days of therapy. Functionally, rhIL-11-treated mice showed better hindlimb appearance and use scores when compared with syngeneic mice treated with PBS under the same experimental conditions. CONCLUSIONS These novel findings show that rhIL-11 promotes in vivo mobilization of CD34(+)/VEGFR2(+) mononuclear cells, enhances collateral vessel growth, and increases recovery of perfusion after femoral artery ligation. Thus, rhIL-11 has a promising role for development as an adjunctive treatment of patients with peripheral vascular disease.

CD8+ T lymphocytes regulate the arteriogenic response to ischemia by infiltrating the site of collateral vessel development and recruiting CD4+ mononuclear cells through the expression of interleukin-16.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that macrophages and CD4+ T lymphocytes play pivotal roles in collateral development. Indirect evidence suggests that CD8+ T cells also play a role. Thus, after acute cerebral ischemia, CD8+ T cells infiltrate the perivascular space and secrete interleukin-16 (IL-16), a potent chemoattractant for monocytes and CD4+ T cells. We tested whether CD8+ T ...

Yang, H. T., and Y. Feng. bFGF increases collateral blood flow in aged rats with femoral artery ligation. Am. J. Physiol. Heart Circ. Physiol. 278: H85–H93, 2000.—We tested the hypothesis that aged animals are as responsive as the young adult animals in expanding collateral vasculature under a similar treatment of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Two age groups of male Fischer 344 rats (1...
متن کاملSkeletal Contractile Power and Perfusion During Collateral Development in the Rat
Among the factors that might influence collateral arterial growth after arterial occlusion, the capacity to deliver blood flow in relation to metabolic need and work performance are obvious candidates. In this study in rats after superficial femoral artery ligation, we assessed collateral arterial growth (by arteriography), basal and peak limb blood flow during acetylcholine-induced vasodilatio...
متن کاملTime course of arteriogenesis following femoral artery occlusion in the rabbit.
OBJECTIVE We examined the time course of arteriogenesis (collateral artery growth) after femoral artery ligation and the effect of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). METHODS New Zealand White rabbits received MCP-1 or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for a 1-week period, either directly or 3 weeks after femoral artery ligation (non-ischemic model). A control group was studied with int...
متن کاملBlood monocyte concentration is critical for enhancement of collateral artery growth.
Arteriogenesis has been associated with the presence of monocytes/macrophages within the collateral vessel wall. We tested the hypothesis that arteriogenesis is functionally linked to the concentration of circulating blood monocytes. Monocyte concentrations in peripheral blood were manipulated by single injections of the antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), resulting in a marked rebound effect...
