Abstract (original English)
Objective Therapeutic angiogenesis using autologous stem/progenitor cells represents a novel strategy for severe ischemic diseases. Recent reports indicated that adipose tissues could supply adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs). Accordingly, we examined whether implantation of ADRCs would augment ischemia-induced angiogenesis. Method and results Adipose tissue was obtained from C57BL/6J mice, and ADRCs were isolated using standard methods. ADRCs expressed stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) mRNA and proteins. Hind limb ischemia was induced and culture-expanded ADRCs, PBS, or mature adipocytes (MAs) as control cells were injected into the ischemic muscles. At 3 weeks, the ADRC group had a greater laser Doppler blood perfusion index and a higher capillary density compared to the controls. Implantation of ADRCs increased circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). SDF-1 mRNA abundance at ischemic tissues and serum SDF-1 levels were greater in the ADRC group than in the control group. Finally, intraperitoneal injection of an anti-SDF-1 neutralizing antibody reduced the number of circulating EPCs and therapeutic efficacies of ADRCs. Conclusions Adipose tissue would be a valuable source for cell-based therapeutic angiogenesis. Moreover, chemokine SDF-1 may play a pivotal role in the ADRCs-mediated angiogenesis at least in part by facilitating mobilization of EPCs.
