Macrophages in Collateral Arteriogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arteriosclerotic vascular disease is the most common cause of death and a major cause of disability in the developed world. Adverse outcomes of arteriosclerotic vascular disease are related to consequences of tissue ischemia and necrosis affecting the heart, brain, limbs, and other organs. Collateral artery growth or arteriogenesis occurs naturally and can help restore perfusion to ischemic tissues. Understanding the mechanisms of collateral artery growth may provide therapeutic options for patients with ischemic vascular disease. In this review, we examine the evidence for a role of monocytes and macrophages in collateral arteriogenesis.

Monocytes are recruited from venules during arteriogenesis in the murine spinotrapezius ligation model.
OBJECTIVE Chronic arterial occlusion results in arteriogenesis of collateral blood vessels. This process has been shown to be dependent on the recruitment of growth-promoting macrophages to remodeling collaterals. However, the potential role of venules in monocyte recruitment during microvascular arteriogenesis is not well demonstrated. First, we aim to document that arteriogenesis occurs in th...
متن کاملGalectin-2 expression is dependent on the rs7291467 polymorphism and acts as an inhibitor of arteriogenesis.
AIMS In patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), the growth of collateral arteries, i.e. arteriogenesis, can preserve myocardial tissue perfusion and function. Monocytes modulate this process, supplying locally the necessary growth factors and degrading enzymes. Knowledge on factors involved in human arteriogenesis is scarce. Thus, the aim of the present study is to identify tar...
متن کاملAll arteriogenesis is local? Home boys versus the newcomers.
Versus the Newcomers To the Editor: The article by Khmelewski et al1 raises an important question in the field of arteriogenesis: do circulating (mononuclear) cells play a functional role during the adaptive proliferation of preexistent collateral pathways? Khmelewski et al propose that local vascular macrophages, rather than circulating monocytes, are crucial during early phases of arteriogene...
متن کاملTissue resident cells play a dominant role in arteriogenesis and concomitant macrophage accumulation.
Collateral growth is characterized by macrophage accumulation, suggesting an important role of circulating cells. To study origin and function of macrophages during arteriogenesis, we related the extent of macrophage accumulation to vascular proliferation and investigated the fate of fluorescently (CMFDA) labeled blood cells that were injected at the time of femoral artery occlusion. The effect...
متن کاملAMP-Activated Protein Kinase α1 in Macrophages Promotes Collateral Remodeling and Arteriogenesis in Mice In Vivo.
OBJECTIVE AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy and redox sensor, is activated in response to various cellular stresses, including hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, oxidative stress, and fluid shear stress at the site of vessel blockade. The activation of AMPK is involved in angiogenesis. However, it is unknown whether AMPK can influence arteriogenesis. Here, we demonstrate the contributi...
