| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMNC) is one of powerful tools for therapeutic angiogenesis in hindlimb ischemia. However, traditional approaches with transplanted PBMNCs show poor therapeutic effects in severe ischemia patients. In this study, we used autograft models to determine whether hypoxic pretreatment effectively enhances the cellular functions of PBMNCs and improves hindlimb ischemia. Preconditioned rabbit PBMNCs showed significantly enhanced functional capacities in resistance to oxidative stress, and cell viability. In addition, autologous transplantation of preconditioned rabbit PBMNCs significantly induced new vessels and improved limb blood flow. Our study demonstrated that hypoxic preconditioning of PBMNCs is a feasible approach for increasing the retention of transplanted cells and enhancing therapeutic angiogenesis in ischemic tissue.
