The human amniotic fluid stem cell secretome triggers intracellular Ca2+ oscillations, NF-κB nuclear translocation and tube formation in human endothelial colony-forming cells.


ABSTRACT: Second trimester foetal human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells (hAFS) have been shown to possess remarkable cardioprotective paracrine potential in different preclinical models of myocardial injury and drug-induced cardiotoxicity. The hAFS secretome, namely the total soluble factors released by cells in their conditioned medium (hAFS-CM), can also strongly sustain in vivo angiogenesis in a murine model of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and stimulates human endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs), the only truly recognized endothelial progenitor, to form capillary-like structures in vitro. Preliminary work demonstrated that the hypoxic hAFS secretome (hAFS-CMHypo ) triggers intracellular Ca2+ oscillations in human ECFCs, but the underlying mechanisms and the downst
