Due to their specific mesoporous structure and large surface area, mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) possess both drug-delivery ability and effective ionic release to promote bone regeneration by stimulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Macrophages secrete mediators that can affect both processes, depending on their phenotype. In this work, the action of ion release from MBG-75S, with a molar composition of 75SiO2-20CaO-5P2O5, on osteogenesis and angiogenesis and the modulatory role of macrophages have been assessed in vitro with MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in monoculture and in coculture with RAW 264.7 macrophages. Ca2+, phosphorous, and silicon ions released from MBG-75S were measured in the culture medium during both differentiation processes. Alkaline phosphatase activity and matrix mineralization were quantified as the key markers of osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells. The expression of CD31, CD34, VEGFR2, eNOS, and vWF was evaluated to characterize the EPC differentiation into mature endothelial cells. Other cellular parameters analyzed included the cell size and complexity, intracellular calcium, and intracellular content of the reactive oxygen species. The results obtained indicate that the ions released by MBG-75S promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro, evidencing a macrophage inhibitory role in these processes and demonstrating the high potential of MBG-75S for the preparation of implants for bone regeneration.

Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The most common cause of anemia in CKD is erythropoietin deficiency; and the most important cause of mortality in CKD patients is atherosclerotic vascular complications which are associated with endothelial damage. One of the methods evaluating vascular integrity is the cytometric measurement of circulating endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells in peripheral blood. The study aimed to investigate the effects of erythropoietin therapy on endothelial dysfunction by evaluating circulating endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells in peripheral blood using the technique of flow cytometry. Methods. A total of 55 hemodialysis patients were evaluated in three groups; those having erythropoietin therapy for at least last 3 months (n = 20) / not having erythropoietin for at least the last 3 months (n = 20) and the patients who started erythropoietin treatment during the study (n = 5). The control group consisted of 20 people. Blood values of the 3rd Group were investigated three times as baseline, 2nd week and 8th week CD34 +, CD105 + cells were evaluated as activated circulating endothelial cells; CD133 +, CD146 + cells were evaluated as activated endothelial progenitor cells. Results. There was no difference between the patients and healthy individuals in terms of circulating endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells. In the third group, no differences were observed in circulating endothelial cells / endothelial progenitor cell levels at baseline / 2nd and 8th weeks. There was no correlation between erythropoietin and circulating endothelial cells / endothelial progenitor cells. Conclusion. A correlation is not available between the therapeutic doses of erythropoietin used in hemodialysis patients and circulating endothelial cells / endothelial progenitor cell levels; supratherapeutic doses could change the results.

Background: Recent studies suggest that endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) from bone marrow or peripheral blood improve myocardial function in experimental myocardial infarction (MI). Since applications for cell therapy are limited by the number of available cells, expansion of EPC may facilitate its therapeutic use in ischemic disease. The aim of this study was to expand late outgrowth EPC from peripheral blood from patients with acute myocardial infarction, characterize them and investigate their therapeutic effect in experimental MI. Methods and Results: Venous blood samples were obtained from patients with acute MI (n=51), stable angina (sAP, n=57) and healthy controls (H,n=47). CD34+ cells were isolated using immunomagnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec). CD34+ cells cultured on fibronectin in endothelial cell medium formed colonies after 1–2 weeks and were further expanded for up to 3 months to generate late outgrowth EPC (eEPC). Expansion was observed up to 2.9x10′9 (MI), 11x10′9 (sAP) and 7x10′9 cells (H) with a mean culture duration of 61 days. Expanded cells showed an endothelial morphology and expressed endothelial surface markers (CD31, VEGF-R2, CD105). Intramyocardial transplantion of 1x10′6 eEPC in experimental myocardial infarction in athymic nude rats revealed improvement in echocardiographic ejection fraction after 2 weeks. This was associated with enhanced vessel density after 1 week and increased mRNA expression of HGF. No differences in infarct size were observed. Similarly in a chronic model of myocardial infarction (eEPC transplantation 1 week after MI) myocardial function significantly improved after 5 weeks in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: Expansion of eEPC from circulating CD34+ cells in patients with coronary artery disease is feasible and improves myocardial function after local transplantation in acute and chronic myocardial infarction. The large number of generated eEPC may prove benefical for therapeutic use and this advantage may prevail time-consuming expansion procedures.

SummaryA rapidly increasing body of data suggests an essential role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in vascular regeneration, formation of new vessels in cardiovascular diseases and also in tumor vasculogenesis. Moreover, recent data obtained from clinical studies with anti-angiogenic drugs in tumor therapy or with pro-angiogenic stimuli in ischemic disorders implicate a predictive role of the number of EPCs circulating in the peripheral blood in monitoring of these diseases. However, there is still some controversial data regarding the relevance of the EPCs in vascular formation depending on models used and diseases studied. One of the essential prerequisites for a better understanding of the whole contribution of EPCs to vascular formation in adult, a process called postnatal vasculogenesis, is to identify their exact sources. We could recently discover the existence of EPCs in a distinct zone of the vascular wall of large and middle sized adult blood vessels and showed that these cells are capable to differentiate into mature endothelial cells, to form capillary sprouts in arterial ring assay and to build vasa vasorumlike structures within the vascular wall. They also can be mobilized very rapidly from the vascular wall by tumor cells. This review will discuss the functional implications of these vascular wall resident endothelial progenitor cells (VW-EPCs) in relation to those of EPCs circulating in peripheral blood or derived from the bone marrow in cardiovascular and neoplastic diseases.
