PG - 441-8 LID - 10.1055/s-2008-1038879 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Many studies have shown that endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) can enhance the neovascularization of the ischemic myocardium. Peripheral blood and bone marrow are the most convenient resources for EPC. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate, in vitro and in vivo, the different biological properties between circulating EPC (CEPC) and bone marrow EPC (BM-EPC) of AMI rats. METHODS: The proliferative, migrative, adherent and angiogenic properties were investigated in vitro. 1 x 10 (6) CEPCs, 1 x 10 (6) BM-EPCs and medium (EBM-2) were injected in the myocardium of AMI rats. Echocardiography, regional myocardial blood flow (RMBF), capillary density and Y chromosome fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were performed at 4 weeks after transplantation. RESULTS: The CEPCs had higher proliferative, migrative, adherent capabilities and lower senescent ratio, could adhere more quickly to fibronectin than BM-EPCs. CEPCs could form capillary-like structures whereas BM-EPCs did not show similar structures on Matrigel. in vivo, transplanted CEPCs and BM-EPCs were found in cardiac tissue by FISH. CEPCs treatment led to a better cardiac function, RMBF and capillary density than BM-EPCs. CONCLUSION: Different biological properties were observed between CEPCs and BM-EPCs. Autologous CEPCs are more suitable for the AMI rat. FAU - Xin, Z AU - Xin Z AD - The Division of Cardiology, Shanghai Sixth Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
