Regulation of circulating progenitor cells in left ventricular dysfunction.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Reductions in numbers of circulating progenitor cells (CD34+ cell subsets) have been demonstrated in patients at risk for, or in the presence of, cardiovascular disease. The mediators of these reductions remain undefined. To determine whether neurohumoral factors might regulate circulating CD34+ cell subsets in vivo, we studied complementary canine models of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS A pacing model of severe LV dysfunction and a hypertensive renal wrap model in which dogs were randomized to receive deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) were studied. Circulating CD34+ cell subsets including hematopoietic precursor cells (HPCs: CD34+/CD45(dim)/VEGFR2-) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs: CD34+/CD45-/VEGFR2+) were quantified. Additionally, the effect of mineralocorticoid excess on circulating progenitor cells in normal dogs was studied. The majority of circulating CD34+ cells expressed CD45dimly and did not express VEGFR2, consistent with an HPC phenotype. HPCs were decreased in response to pacing, and this decrease correlated with plasma aldosterone levels (Spearman rank correlation=-0.67, P=0.03). In the hypertensive renal wrap model, administration of DOCA resulted in decreased HPCs. No changes were seen in EPCs in either model. Normal dogs treated with DOCA exhibited a decrease in HPCs in peripheral blood but not bone marrow associated with decreased telomerase activity. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to demonstrate that mineralocorticoid excess, either endogenous or exogenous, results in reduction in HPCs. These data suggest that mineralocorticoids may induce accelerated senescence of progenitor cells, leading to their reduced survival and decline in numbers.

Circulating CD34-positive cell number is associated with brain natriuretic peptide level in type 2 diabetic patients.
P atients with type 2 diabetes often suffer from asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) injury, including increased LV mass, without apparent myocardial ischemia. The mechanisms underlying diabetic LV injury remain unclear; however, it has been suggested that endothelial dysfunction plays a role. Accumulating evidence indicates that bone marrow–derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute...
متن کاملCirculating endothelial progenitor cells correlate with erectile function in patients with coronary heart disease.
AIMS The aim of the study was to determine the influence of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) on erectile dysfunction (ED). EPC play a major role in repair mechanisms of the endothelial monolayer, but the role of EPC in ED is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Circulating levels of CD34(+)/KDR(+) and CD133(+) EPC were determined in 119 patients with known coronary artery disease. ED was evaluated ...

Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two different intensities of physical activity on circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in healthy young women. For this purpose, 15 female students from volunteers were randomly selected via questionnaire (group 1: mean age 22 ±1/8 years, BMI 20/81±1/91 kg/m2, n = 8. group 2: mean age 21 ±1/5 years, BMI 20/38 ± 1/66 kg/m2, ...
