Characterization of transplanted human VPC-derived vascular cells.

<p>a) Flow cytometric analysis of cell surface markers on expanded human VPC-derived VEGF-R2⁺VE-cadherin⁺ cells ( = EC). b) Immunofluorescence image of CD31 (green) and αSMA (red) with nuclear staining (blue) in expanded EC. Scale bar: 100 µm. c) Immunostaining of mural cell markers (brown) with hematoxyline counter-staining of expanded VPC-derived VEGF-R2⁺VE⁻cadherin- cells ( = MC). Scale bar: 100 µm. d, e) RT-PCR analysis of mural cell (d) and skeletal/cardiac specific (e) markers in human VPC-derived vascular cells.</p

Augmented vascular regeneration by intra-arterial transplantation of human VPC-derived vascular cells in a murine hindlimb ischemia model.

<p>a) Serial LDPI analysis in hindlimb ischemia mice. At day 14, the blood flow of ischemic limbs in all cell transplanted groups increased significantly compared to the control group (white arrowhead). After 42 days, significant blood flow recovery was observed in the uEPC and human VPC-derived EC and/or MC-transplanted groups (red arrowhead), but not in pEPC. b) Quantitative analysis of hindlimb blood flow by calculating the ischemic/normal limb perfusion ratios after the induction of hindlimb ischemia. *<i>P</i><0.05 vs. control, †<i>P</i><0.05 vs. pEPC, ††<i>P</i><0.05 vs. uEPC, ‡<i>P</i><0.05 vs. MC, §<i>P</i><0.05 vs. EC.</p
