چکیده

OBJECTIVE Although endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been reported to promote neovessel formation during vascular injury, the function of supporting cells of EPCs and their interaction with EPCs during EPC isolation remain unclear. APPROACH AND RESULTS We investigated the functional properties of 2 types of EPCs, also known as endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs), CD34(-)/CD34(+) cell-derived ECFCs (hybrid-dECFCs) and CD34(+) cell-derived ECFCs (stem-dECFCs), isolated using different methods, to elucidate the role of CD34(-) cell populations as cell-supporting niches. Using EPC colony-forming and insert coculture assays, we found that CD34(-) accessory cells dynamically modulate hematopoietic stem cell-derived endothelial cell progenitor commitment via angiogenic cytokines secreted by CD34(-)/CD11b(+) macrophages. On the basis of these findings, we isolated 2 types of ECFCs and investigated their bioactivities. We found that stem-dECFCs showed remarkably retarded cell growth, enhanced senescence, and decreased characteristics of ECFCs, whereas hybrid-dECFCs showed greater proliferative properties but delayed senescence. In a murine hind-limb ischemia model, hybrid-dECFCs showed significantly enhanced blood perfusion, capillary density, transplanted cell survival and proliferation, and angiogenic cytokine secretion compared with stem-dECFCs. In particular, the migratory capacity of hybrid-dECFCs was significantly enhanced, in part mediated via an augmented phosphorylation cascade of focal adhesion kinase and Src, resulting in a highly increased incorporation capacity of hybrid-dECFCs compared with stem-dECFCs. CD34(-) accessory cells of hybrid-dECFCs might be niche-supporting cells that facilitate cell survival, increase the secretion of angiogenic cytokines, and increase incorporation. CONCLUSIONS This study provided important insight into blood vessel formation and repair in ischemic diseases for ECFC-based cell therapy.

Colony Forming Unit Endothelial Cells Do not Exhibit Telomerase Alternative Splicing Variants and Activity

Introduction: Endothelial progenitor colony forming unit-endothelial cells (CFU-EC) were first believed to be the progenitors of endothelial cells, named endothelial progenitor cells. Further studies revealed that they are monocytes regulating vasculogenesis. The main hindrance of these cells for therapeutic purposes is their low frequency and limited replicative potentials. This study was unde...

قابلیت تمایز سلول‌های بنیادی جنین انسان (Royan H5) به سلول‌های همانژیوبلاست در شرایط آزمایشگاهی

Background: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are capable of self-renewal and large-scale expansion. They also have the capacity to differentiate into a variety of cell types including liver, cardiac and neuron cells. However, it is not yet clear whether hESCs can differentiate to hemangioblasts under in-vitro conditions. Hemangioblasts are bipotential progenitors that can generate hematopoiet...

Vasculogenic Conditioning of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Promotes Endothelial Progenitor Cell Expansion and Phenotype Transition of Anti‐Inflammatory Macrophage and T Lymphocyte to Cells With Regenerative Potential

BACKGROUND Cell-based therapies involving mononuclear cells (MNCs) have been developed for vascular regeneration to treat ischemic diseases; however, quality control of therapeutic MNCs has not been evaluated. We investigated the therapeutic potential of peripheral blood (PB) MNCs, operated by recently developed quality and quantity (QQ) culture of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). METHODS...

CD34+/M-cadherin+ Bone Marrow Progenitor Cells Promote Arteriogenesis in Ischemic Hindlimbs of ApoE−/− Mice

BACKGROUND Cell-based therapy shows promise in treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD); however, the optimal cell type and long-term efficacy are unknown. In this study, we identified a novel subpopulation of adult progenitor cells positive for CD34 and M-cadherin (CD34⁺/M-cad⁺ BMCs) in mouse and human bone marrow. We also examined the long-lasting therapeutic efficacy of mouse CD34⁺/M-cad⁺ ...

Up-regulation of miR-210 by vascular endothelial growth factor in ex vivo expanded CD34+ cells enhances cell-mediated angiogenesis

Ex vivo culture has been proposed as a means to augment and repair autologous cells in patients with chronic diseases, but the mechanisms governing improvement in cell function are not well understood. Although microRNAs (miRs) are increasingly appreciated as key regulators of cellular function, a role for these factors in CD34+ cell-mediated angiogenesis has not been elucidated. Vascular endot...
