Objective: The neovascularization-related capacities of circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) are impaired in atherosclerotic patients, which may explain the unsatisfactory effects of therapeutic angiogenesis with atherosclerotic patient-derived CACs. Platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) were reported to augment the re-endothelialization capacity of CACs. Accordingly, we investigated whether PMPs could augment the neovascularization-related capacities of atherosclerotic patient-derived CACs in vitro and in vivo and if so, the associated mechanisms.Methods and results: We isolated mononuclear cells and PMPs from atherosclerotic patient-derived peripheral blood and generated PMP-pretreated CACs (PMP-CACs) by co-culture of the mononuclear cells and PMPs. Although the migration capacity of PMP-CACs was similar to that of CACs, the adhesion capacity of PMP-CACs was greater. PMPs released RANTES into the culture medium, and the receptors were similarly expressed on the surfaces of CACs and PMP-CACs. Intravenous injection of PMP-CACs to rats with hindlimb ischemia augmented neovascularization of the ischemic limbs more than the injection of CACs. The number of PMP-CACs incorporated into the capillaries of the ischemic limbs was greater than that of incorporated CACs. The augmented adhesion and neovascularization capacities by PMP-CACs were canceled out by a RANTES neutralizing antibody.Conclusions: PMP-secreted RANTES may play a role in the augmenting adhesion and neovascularization capacities of CACs. Injection of PMP-CACs may be a new strategy to augment the effects of therapeutic angiogenesis for limb ischemia in atherosclerotic patients. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
