Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived Flk-1 progenitor cells engraft, differentiate, and improve heart function in a mouse model of acute myocardial infarction.
AIMS Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiovascular progenitor cells represent a suitable autologous cell source for myocardial regeneration as they have the capability to form myocardial cells and to contribute to revascularization. As a first proof of concept we evaluated the potential of a murine iPSC-derived cardiovascular progenitor population, which expresses the surface mark...
متن کاملComparative Angiogenic Activities of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived from Young and Old Mice
Advanced age is associated with decreased stem cell activity. However, the effect of aging on the differentiation capacity of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into cardiovascular cells has not been fully clarified. We investigated whether iPS cells derived from young and old mice are equally capable of differentiating into vascular progenitor cells, and whether these cells regulate vascular...
متن کاملIn vitro hematopoietic and endothelial potential of flk-1(-/-) embryonic stem cells and embryos.
Mice deficient in the Flk-1 receptor tyrosine kinase are known to die in utero because of defective vascular and hematopoietic development. Here, we show that flk-1(-/-) embryonic stem cells are nevertheless able to differentiate into hematopoietic and endothelial cells in vitro, although they give rise to a greatly reduced number of blast colonies, a measure of hemangioblast potential. Further...
متن کاملIdentification of putative endothelial progenitor cells (CD34+CD133+Flk-1+) in endarterectomized tissue of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by a fibrotic thrombus persisting and obliterating the lumen of pulmonary arteries; its pathogenesis remains poorly defined. This study investigates a potential contribution for progenitor cell types in the development of vascular obliteration and remodeling in CTEPH patients. Endarterectomized tissue from patients undergoin...
متن کاملExposure to Ambient Air Fine Particulate Matter Prevents VEGF-Induced Mobilization of Endothelial Progenitor Cells from the Bone Marrow
BACKGROUND Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter air pollution (PM(2.5); < 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter) induces endothelial dysfunction and increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to postnatal endothelial repair and regeneration. In humans and mice, EPC levels are decreased upon exposure to elevated levels of PM(2.5). OBJECTIVE We...
