Impaired CXCR4 Signaling Contributes to the Reduced Neovascularization Capacity of Endothelial Progenitor Cells From Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Open accessAbstract
Transplantation of bone marrow cells as well as circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) enhances neovascularization after ischemia. The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is essential for migration and homing of hematopoietic stem cells. Therefore, we investigated the role of CXCR4 and its downstream signaling cascade for the angiogenic capacity of cultured human EPC. Ex vivo, differentiated EPC derived from peripheral blood abundantly expressed CXCR4. Incubation of EPC from healthy volunteers with neutralizing antibodies against CXCR4 profoundly inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor– and stromal-derived factor-1–induced migration as well as EPC-induced angiogenesis in an ex vivo assay. Preincubation of transplanted EPC with CXCR4 antibody reduced EPC incorporation and impaired blood-flow recovery in ischemic hindlimbs of nude mice (57±4% of normal perfusion versus untreated EPC: 80±11%, P <0.001). Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) or EPC of heterozygous CXCR4 +/− mice displayed reduced CXCR4 expression and disclosed impaired in vivo capacity to enhance recovery of ischemic blood flow in nude mice (blood flow 27±11% versus 66±25% using wild-type cells, P <0.01). Importantly, impaired blood flow in ischemic CXCR4 +/− mice was rescued by injection of wild-type BM-MNC. Next, we investigated the role of CXCR4 for functional capacities of EPC from patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Surface expression of CXCR4 was similar in EPC from patients with CAD compared with healthy controls. However, basal Janus kinase (JAK)-2 phosphorylation was significantly reduced and less responsive to stromal-derived factor-1 in EPC from patients with CAD compared with healthy volunteers, indicating that CXCR4-mediated JAK-2 signaling is dysregulated in EPC from patients with CAD. The CXCR4 receptor signaling profoundly modulates the angiogenic activity and homing capacity of cultured human EPC. Disturbance of CXCR4 signaling, as demonstrated by reduced JAK-2 phosphorylation, may contribute to functional impairment of EPC from patients with CAD. Stimulating CXCR4 signaling might improve functional properties of EPC and may rescue impaired neovascularization capacity of EPC derived from patients with CAD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
