Exercício Físico Melhora as Funções das Células Progenitoras Endoteliais em Pacientes com Síndrome Metabólica

Arq. bras. cardiol; 117 (1), 2021
Resumo Fundamento As células progenitoras endoteliais (CPEs) desempenham um papel importante na manutenção da função endotelial. A síndrome metabólica (SM) está associada à disfunção das CPEs. Embora o exercício físico tenha um impacto benéfico na atividade das CPEs, seu mecanismo ainda n...

Endothelial progenitor cells in the peripheral blood of patients with moyamoya disease labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide in vitro for MRI detection

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (11), 2020
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is currently thought to involve endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). We investigated whether superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) can be used to label EPCs. Mononuclear cells from 10 moyamoya disease patients were isolated, and cluster of differentiation 133 (CD133) positive cells s...

High levels of endothelial progenitor cells and circulating endothelial cells in patients with Behçet's disease and their relationship to disease activity

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (3), 2019
Abstract: Background: Behçet's disease is a multisystemic vasculitis, associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction. Currently, the prognosis is unpredictable, because there is still no valid laboratory marker indicating the disease activity in Behçet's disease. Endothelial progenitor cells and cir...

Poly(trimethylene carbonate-co-L-lactide) electrospun scaffolds for use as vascular grafts

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (8), 2019
Currently, there is great clinical need for suitable synthetic grafts that can be used in vascular diseases. Synthetic grafts have been successfully used in medium and large arteries, however, their use in small diameter vessels is limited and presents a high failure rate. In this context, the aim of thi...

Immunohistomorphology of pancreatic islet microvasculature and the immunophenotypic analysis of CEPC in adult diabetic rats

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
SUMMARY: Hyperglycaemia is one of the main causes for the endothelial cell (EC) damage in diabetic patients. Even though circulating endothelial progenitor cells (CEPC) could be used as a prognosis for microvascular complications, there is very little information on the islet microvasculature. We analyse...

Effects of Chronic Exercise on Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Microparticles in Professional Runners

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (3), 2017
Abstract Background: The effects of chronic exposure to exercise training on vascular biomarkers have been poorly explored. Objective: Our study aimed to compare the amounts of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), and endothelial (EMP) and platelet (PMP) microparticles between professional runners and ...

Papel da célula endotelial em neoplasias malignas hematológicas
The role of endothelial cells in hematologic malignancies

A neoformação vascular constitui evento essencial para que ocorra o desenvolvimento humano. Nesta fase, o sistema vascular sofre expansão. Células endoteliais maduras (ECs) irão compor a parede dos vasos, enquanto células endoteliais oriundas da medula óssea (MO) migram para locais de neoformaçã...
