摘要
内皮祖细胞能够自我增生及分化,具有内源性内膜再生及新生血管能力。研究发现,内皮祖细胞的生物学特性受到诸多冠心病危险因素的影响,致使其功能异常。现就冠心病各危险因素对内皮祖细胞的作用及可能机制作一综述,以进一步了解危险因素在动脉粥样硬化过程中的多重效应。
Endothelial progenitor cells ( EPCs ) possess regenerative capacity. An increasing body of evidence suggests that most cardiovascular risk factors affect the number, and properties of EPCs. This article reviews recent data to provide an overview of the relationship between EPCs and risk factors in order to explore the multiple-effects of risk factors on atherosclerosis.
