Gene expression from pericytes

ABSTRACT: Background: Blood vessel wall adventitial progenitors may yield a renewable source for therapeutic vasculogenesis in limb and myocardial ischemia models. Donor-related liabilities, epigenetic and expressional changes occurring during stem cell isolation and expansion might result in substantial phenotypic modifications, ultimately impacting on therapeutic activity of the cell product. Methods: Consistency of functional performance was assessed in 15 saphenous vein-derived adventitial progenitor cells (SV-APC) lines, of which 10 derived from leftovers of coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) and 5 from wastes of varicose SV removal from subjects with no evidence of cardiovascular disease (NC). To correlate the expansion culture data with a clinical outcome, 5 SV-APC lines were transplanted (
