Comparison between type-I vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and type-II VECs

ABSTRACT: Human VECs are categorized into two groups regarding their effects on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs):type-I, pro-proliferative VECs and type-II anti-proliferative VECs. The effects of VECs on VSMC proliferation were quantitatively assessed according to the following method: human aortic smooth muscle cells, which were stained by PKH-26 in advance, were cultured on the layer of CFSE-stained VECs, and VSMC proliferation were evaluated after four days by flow cytometry analyses using ModFit LTM-bM-^DM-" software (Verity Software House Inc., Topsham, ME). Commercially available primary human VECs including HUVEC, HAEC and HMVEC as well as the majority of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-derived VECs (EPCdECs), whether EPCs were obtained from adult or fetal tissues,
