摘要
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. By use of quantitative uptake of DiLDL and lectin staining, EPCs have been characterized reliably. However, the exact nature and function of this cell population still remains poorly defined. In an attempt to further clarify the cell surface characteristics of EPCs, mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated from human blood and cell surface expression patterns were defined by FACS analysis before and after differentiation for 1-10 days in cell culture. "Classical" double staining for DiLDL and Ulex europaeus increases to 89.2 +/- 0.05 after 10 days in culture. Looking at EPC-specific markers by FACS analysis, 0.18 +/- 0.11% of freshly isolated MNCs express CD34, 0.13 +/- 0.08% CD133, 0.59 +/- 0.51% VEGFr2, 0.01 +/- 0.02% CD34/VEGFr2, 0.09 +/- 0.05% CD34/CD133, 0.58 +/- 0.13% CD34/CD31, and 0.02 +/- 0.01% CD34/CD146, respectively. Induction of the endothelial phenotype is evidenced by positive staining for VEGFr2, CID 146, and CD31, and occurs in co-expression with stem cell markers in less than 2 +/- 0.52% of cultured cells. Expression of CD34 increases to 0.38 +/- 0.10% after 10 days, whereas the CD133(+) cell population shows an initial peak at 24 h (0.29 +/- 0.18%) before decreasing to 0.15 +/- 0.02% at day 10. EPCs co-expressing CD34/CD133 increase to 0.19 +/- 0.09% after 10 days, and EPCs double-positive for CD34/VEGFr2 increase to 1.45 +/- 1.03%. Looking at leukocyte, lymphocyte, and monocyte lineage markers, 56.27 +/- 0.15% of freshly isolated MNCs express CD45, 7.13 +/- 0.02% CD14, and 38.65 +/- 0.01% CD3. Over the 10-day culture period, expression of CD45 decreases to 28.48 +/- 0.18%, CD3 to 23.11 +/- 0.02%, and CD14 to 0.09 0.02%. Cells co-expressing CD3/CD45 decrease from 38.88 +/- 0.33% to 24.86 +/- 2.49% after 10 days in culture. These findings extend present knowledge by showing that human MNCs differentiate at a very low rate to EPCs, while a majority of the cultured cell population remain committed to the leukocyte or lymphocyte lineage. Careful surface marker analysis might be necessary when using in vitro EPC differentiation systems. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
