Using endothelial progenitor cells for gene therapy.
Readers of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology are already well aware of the high level of interest in gene therapy as a potential means of combating cardiac and vascular disease. During the last 10 years or so there have been clear demonstrations in a variety of animal models that it is possible to modulate the progress of atherosclerotic vascular disease, restenotic arterial di...
متن کاملEndothelial Progenitor Cells in Breast Cancer.
Recent evidences demonstrated the importance of bone marrow derived Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC), in the contribution to postnatal physiological and pathological neovascularization, and in tumor growth and angiogenesis. These cells are recruited undifferentiated, in response to systemic or chemoatractive signals, such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), they lodge in the growing...
متن کاملHybrid cell-gene therapy for pulmonary hypertension based on phagocytosing action of endothelial progenitor cells.
BACKGROUND Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) migrate to injured vascular endothelium and differentiate into mature endothelial cells. We investigated whether transplantation of vasodilator gene-transduced EPCs ameliorates monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats. METHODS AND RESULTS We obtained EPCs from cultured human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells and...
متن کاملVEGF 165 Gene Therapy for Patients with Refractory Angina: Mobilization of Endothelial Progenitor Cells
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) with the capacity for proliferation and differentiation into mature endothelial cells, thus contributing to the angiogenic process. OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the behavior of EPCs in patients with ischemic heart disease and refractory angina who received an intramyocardial injec...
متن کاملEndothelial progenitor cells for vasculogenesis.
Postnatal vasculogenesis is considered to be involved in neovascularization of adult tissues, because bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were isolated from circulating mononuclear cells in peripheral blood and were shown to incorporate into sites of physiological and pathological neovascularization and to differentiate into mature endothelial cells. EPCs might have an attra...
