Effects of shear stress on the number and function of endothelial progenitor cells adhered to specific matrices.
Journal of Applied Biomaterials & Biomechanics : JABB 2011 September
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to screen specific adherent matrix for endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which can be used for antibody capturing stents.
METHODS: In this study, the adhesion of EPCs on different matrices containing three different antibodies, VEGFR-2, CD34, CD133, was observed under shear stress in a flow chamber. Nitric oxide (NO) release, cell proliferation and the retention rate of EPCs, were measured separately.
RESULTS: The results demonstrated that shear stress within a certain range can promote proliferation and NO secretion of EPCs. Under the same shear stress, the EPCs showed stronger adhesion on matrix-containing CD133 antibody than on the other matrices.
CONCLUSIONS: CD133 antibody has the potential application for EPCs capture.
