Mononuclear cells and vascular repair in HHT
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) or Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is a rare genetic vascular disorder known for its endothelial dysplasia causing arteriovenous malformations and severe bleedings. HHT-1 and HHT-2 are the most prevalent variants and are caused by heterozygous mutations in endoglin and activin receptor-like kinase 1, respectively. An undervalued aspect of the disease is tha...
متن کاملCirculating mononuclear progenitor cells: differential roles for subpopulations in repair of retinal vascular injury.
PURPOSE We examined effect on retinal vascular homing of exogenous CD34(+) and CD14(+) progenitor cells using mouse models of chronic (streptozotocin [STZ]-induced diabetes) and acute (ischemia-reperfusion [I/R]) ocular vascular injury. METHODS STZ-treated mice of short or long duration (≤4, ≥11 months) diabetes, along with age- and sex-matched controls, were given intravitreous injections of...
متن کاملVascular repair by endothelial progenitor cells.
Accumulating evidence indicates the impact of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in vascular repair. In patients, the number of EPCs is negatively correlated with the severity of atherosclerosis. In various animal models, transplantation of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells could sufficiently rescue organ function and enhance vascular repair and tissue regeneration. Increase in the number o...
متن کاملConditioned Medium from Cultured Colorectal Cancer Cells Affects Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Inflammatory Phenotype in Vitro
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Studies have indicated that immune cells and soluble factors play a key role in maintaining the balance between tumor-promoting inflammation and anti-tumor immunity. It has been shown that secreted cytokines from CRC cell lines could affect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes, and macrophages phenot...
متن کاملHHT and gastric telangiectasia.
A 58-year-old Taiwanese married male presented to our emergency department with progressive dizziness and generalized weakness for 1 week. His blood pressure was 138/91 mmHg and heart rate was 74 bpm. He stated that nosebleeds occurred off and on for more than 20 years, and he had been diagnosed pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and received coils embolization in April, 2009 (Figure 1a...
