Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1 ( SDF-1 ) in combination with transplantation of peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) for the treatment of nude mice hindlimb ischemia. Methods Hindlimb ischemia model was established in nude mice, mice were then divided into five groups randomly: ischemic control group, peripheral blood EPCs transplantation group, SDF-1 local application group, SDF-1 combined with EPCs group, SDF-1 combined with AMD3100 treated EPCs group. Local CD34+VEGFR+ cells in the hind gastrocnemius were detected at day 3,7 after transplantation. The intensity of neovasculorization were evaluated at day 28. Results The double-positive cells number of control group, EPCs group, SDF-1 group, SDF-1 + EPCs group, SDF-1 + AMD3100 EPCs group were 0.00 ±0.00,5. 30 ±0.65,0.00 ±0.00,10. 31 ±0. 63,1. 86 ±0. 17 at day 3 and 0. 00 ±0. 00, 7.05 ±0. 18,0. 00 ±0. 00,11. 81 ±0. 53,2. 83 ±0. 48 at day 7. The number of new capillaries were 3. 00 ± 0.13,6.15 ± 0. 04,6. 20 ± 0. 10,10. 65 ± 0.08,6. 21 ±0. 08 at day 28. SDF-1 increased the CD34 + VEGFR+ cells (P <0. 05) and the number of new vessels (P <0.05). SDF-1 combined EPCs further increased the number of new vessels (P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions SDF-1 enhances blood vessel formation and promotes angiogenesis by promoting EPCs homing, which could be blocked by AMD3100.
