Research Abstract

Tissue injury of glomerulus and tubulointerstitium is followed by tissue regeneration in most of renal diseases. Recently, angiogenesis has been reported to play an important role in renal tissue regeneration. In experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulitis model (Thy-1 nephritis) angiogenesis is elevated in the repair course of tissue generation, while an insufficient angiogenesis resulted in irreversible tissue damage such as glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Angiogenesis have been thought tobe composed of in situ proliferation and migration of capillary endothelial cells in tissue regeneration. Recently, however, endothelial progenitor cells which
exist in adult have been reported to differentiate to capillary endothelial cells. Endothelial progenitor cells are CD34 positive. After culture of separated CD 34 positive cells, they showed appearance of endothelial cells which indicates that CD34 positive cells is related to angiogenesis. Thereafter angiogenesis in … More adult tissue regeneration is suggested not only in situ endothelial proliferation and migration as believed previously but also (differentiation of endothelial progenitor cell to endothelial cell) as seen in developmental period. The endothelial progenitor cells exists in peripheral blood, bone marrow and umbilical cord blood. We investigated whether it is possible that endothelial umbilical cord blood cells differentiate to endothelial progenitor cells and wether vasculogenesis by endothelial progenitor cells is involved in renal tissue regeneration in experimental glomerulonephritis. CD34 positive umbilical cord cells were injected into renal artery in thy-1 nephritis -induced rats. Injected CD34 positive cells existed in the injured glomerulus. However, the degree of glomerular injury was not different from the control nephritis at week 1 or two after injection. The study did not show the involvement of umbilical endothelial progenitor cells in renal tissue regeneration in experimental mesangial glomerulonephritis. Less
