Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the potential of endothelial outgrowth cells (EOCs) expanded from CD34(+) cord blood-derived cells (CB-EOCs) for overexpression of therapeutic transgenes. As proof of principle, we overexpressed icIL-1ra in CB-EOCs. Proinflammatory activation of CB-EOCs in response to cytokine stimulation (IL-1beta and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)) and during coculture with monocytes showed that icIL-1ra-expressing CB-EOCs express significantly reduced levels of ICAM-1, MCP-1 and thrombin receptor expression. Moreover, overexpression of icIL-1ra attenuated the IL-1beta-mediated proinflammatory activation by diminishing the expression of ICAM-1, SELE, MCP-1 and IL-1beta. Interestingly, overexpression of icIL-1ra also inhibited TNF-induced upregulation of ICAM-1. Expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, tissue factor and IL-1beta was also decreased on direct contact with monocytes. These changes in gene expression were accompanied by functional reduction in leukocyte rolling, adhesion of monocytes to CB-EOCs, as well as by a reduction in transendothelial migration of monocytes. Our findings show that CB-EOCs stably expressing transgenic icIL-1ra are protected against activation by not only IL-1beta but also TNFalpha-media...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
