The Secretome of Liver X Receptor Agonist Treated Early Outgrowth Cells Decreases Atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- Mice

ABSTRACT: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) promote the maintenance of the endothelium by secreting vasoreparative factors. A population of EPCs known as early outgrowth cells (EOCs) are being investigated as novel cell-based therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. We previously demonstrated that the absence of liver x receptors (LXRs) is detrimental to the formation and function of EOCs under hypercholesterolemic conditions. Here, we investigate whether LXR activation in EOCs is beneficial for the treatment of atherosclerosis. EOCs were differentiated from the bone marrow of wildtype (WT) and LXR-knockout (Lxrαβ-/-) mice in the presence of vehicle or LXR agonist (GW3965). This data set is a proteomic comparison of EPCs at day 1 after isolation and day 9 of GW39565 treatment compared to day 9 of vehicle treatment.
