Outline of Final Research Achievements

Circulating bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells have been reported to be originated from bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (=BMCs) and implicated in homeostasis of the microvasculature. Decreased levels of circulating endothelial progenitor cells, associated with aging correlate with poor clinical outcomes in a range of cardiovascular diseases. Herein, we transplanted BMCs from young animals (=yBMCs) or aged animals (=aBMCs) into aged gerbils. Aged gerbils transplanted with yBMCs after ischemia significantly reduced ischemic cochlear damage comparing with animals transplanted with aBMCs. Furthermore, aged gerbils transplanted with yBMCs depleted of CD34 positive cells after ischemia also reduced ischemic cochlear damage. Although further investigations must be required to elucidate the fundamental mechanism underlying senescence of the vasculature, our results shows the possibility that factors other than CD34 have protective effects on ischemic cochlear damage.
