Endothelial Progenitor Cells: Disease Markers and Potential Therapy in Kidney Disease.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) constitute a promising focus for research in regenerative medicine. These cells originate from the bone marrow and other circulating hematopoietic cells and regulate tissue regeneration and vascular integrity. EPCs mobilization serves for neovascularization and reendothelialization after injury in multiple organ systems, including the renal and cardiovascular systems. Both their number and function may vary in disease states like chronic kidney disease, depending on severity, comorbid conditions, and other factors. Therefore, circulating EPC count and function have been proposed as markers for vascular health, and their mobilization or replenishment may offer a potential therapy. Delivery of EPC has shown success in repairing injured kidneys in animal models of both chronic and acute kidney injury. This approach may be limited by EPC heterogeneity and incomplete characterization that may be addressed by standardization, engineering, or combination with other therapies. This article aims to review the current state and recent advances in our understanding of the role of EPC in homeostasis and conditions that may lead to their dysregulation in kidney diseases.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) stands as the preeminent kidney journal globally, offering an exceptional synthesis of cutting-edge basic research, clinical epidemiology, meta-analysis, and relevant editorial content. Representing a comprehensive resource, JASN encompasses clinical research, editorials distilling key findings, perspectives, and timely reviews.
Editorials are skillfully crafted to elucidate the essential insights of the parent article, while JASN actively encourages the submission of Letters to the Editor discussing recently published articles. The reviews featured in JASN are consistently erudite and comprehensive, providing thorough coverage of respective fields. Since its inception in July 1990, JASN has been a monthly publication.
JASN publishes original research reports and editorial content across a spectrum of basic and clinical science relevant to the broad discipline of nephrology. Topics covered include renal cell biology, developmental biology of the kidney, genetics of kidney disease, cell and transport physiology, hemodynamics and vascular regulation, mechanisms of blood pressure regulation, renal immunology, kidney pathology, pathophysiology of kidney diseases, nephrolithiasis, clinical nephrology (including dialysis and transplantation), and hypertension. Furthermore, articles addressing healthcare policy and care delivery issues relevant to nephrology are warmly welcomed.
