Roles of ephrin-B2+ and CD34+ cells in post-angioplasty pericardial patch repair

Amaç: Bu çalışmada endotel belirteci ephrin B2ninanjiyoplasti sonrasında perikard yamalarında mevcut olupolmadığı ve CD34+ endotel progenitör hücrelerinin arteriyelortama implante edildikten sonra yamalarda bulunupbulunmadığı araştırıldı. Ça­lış­ma­pla­nı:­Renal arterlerin aşağısında abdominal aortukontrol ve insize etmek ve ardından domuz veya sığır perikardyaması ile anjiyoplasti yapmak üzere sekiz haftalık 18 erkekWistar sıçanına laparotomi uygulandı. Kontrol grubu, yaş veağırlık olarak eşleştirilmiş 18 Wistar sıçanından oluşuyordu.Anjiyoplasti kontrol grubuna yamaların subkutan olarakimplante edilmesi ile gerçekleştirildi. Yamalar cerrahidenbir, üç, beş ve 30 gün sonra alındı ve histolojik veimmünhistolojik testler, immünfloresan işaretleme, Westernblot ve reverz transkripsiyon polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu ileçalışıldı. Bul gu lar: Kollajen içeren yamalar anjiyoplasti öncesiaselüler idi. Sığır perikard yama implantasyonundan sonra,ephrin B2+ ve CD34+ hücre sayısı anlamlı düzeyde arttı;ancak CD68, alfa-aktin ve von-Willebrand faktörününtest sonuçları negatif idi. Domuz perikard yamaimplantasyonundan beş gün sonra, lümenin iç yüzeyindetek hücre tabakası mevcuttu. Buna karşın, kontrol grubundaephrin B2+ ve CD34+ hücrelerine rastlanmadı. Cerrahinin30. gününde iki yama türünde de ephrin B2+ ve CD34+ hücreleri mevcuttu. So nuç: Ephrin B2+ ve CD34+ hücreleri implantasyondan kısabir süre sonra perikard yamalarına infiltre olmaya başladı.Arterlerin yeniden biçimlenmesi sırasında endotelializasyonusağlayan yamalar, doku plasti ve anjiyoplastide potansiyelolarak kullanılabilir.

Ephrin B2+ and CD34+ hücrelerinin anjiyoplasti sonrası perikard yama tamirindeki rolü

Background: This study aims to investigate whether anendothelial marker ephrin-B2 exists in pericardial patchesduring post-angioplasty repair and whether CD34+ endothelialprogenitor cells are present in the patches after beingimplanted into the arterial environment. Methods: Eighteen eight-week-old male Wistar rats weresubjected to laparotomy to check the abdominal aortabelow renal arteries, to incise it, and then to performangioplasty by using porcine or bovine pericardial patch.The control group consisted of 18 age- and weight-matchedWistar rats. Angioplasty was conducted by subcutaneouslyimplanting patches in the control group. The patches weretaken on one, three, five, and 30 days after surgery andinvestigated by histological and immunohistochemical assays,immunofluorescent labeling, Western blotting and reversetranscription polymerase chain reaction. Results: The patches containing collagen were acellularbefore angioplasty. After implantation of a bovine pericardialpatch, the numbers of ephrin-B2+ and CD34+ cells increasedsignificantly; however, the test results for CD68, alpha- actin and von Willebrand factor were negative. There wasa monolayer of cells in the inner luminal surface five daysafter implantation of a porcine pericardial patch. In contrast,ephrin-B2+ or CD34+ cells did not appear in the control group.On the postoperative 30th day, there were ephrin-B2+ andCD34+ cells in the two types of patches. Conclusion: Ephrin-B2+ and CD34+ cells began toinfiltrate pericardial patches soon after implantation. Thepatches which allow endothelialization during arterialremodeling are potentially applicable to tissue plasty andangioplasty.
