Abstract
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are circulating cells of various origins that possess the capacity for renewing and regenerating the endothelial lining of blood vessels. During physical activity, in response to factors such as hypoxia, changes in osmotic pressure, and mechanical forces, endothelial cells undergo intense physiological stress that results in endothelial damage. Circulating EPCs participate in blood vessel repair and vascular healing mainly through paracrine signalling. Furthermore, physical activity may play an important role in mobilising this important cell population. In this narrative review, we summarise the current knowledge on the biology of EPCs, including their characteristics, assessment, and mobilisation in response to both chronic and acute physical activity in healthy individuals.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease that affects millions of individuals. The pathogenesis of OA has not been fully elucidated. Obesity is a well-recognized risk factor for OA. Multiple studies have demonstrated adipokines play a key role in obesity-induced OA. Increasing evidence show that various adipokines may significantly affect the development or clinical course of OA by regulating the pro/anti-inflammatory and anabolic/catabolic balance, matrix remodeling, chondrocyte apoptosis and autophagy, and subchondral bone sclerosis. Several signaling pathways are involved but still have not been systematically investigated. In this article, we review the cellular and molecular mechanisms of adipokines in OA, and highlight the possible signaling pathways. The review suggested adipokines play important roles in obesity-induced OA, and exert downstream function via the activation of various signaling pathways. In addition, some pharmaceuticals targeting these pathways have been applied into ongoing clinical trials and showed encouraging results. However, these signaling pathways are complex and converge into a common network with each other. In the future work, more research is warranted to further investigate how this network works. Moreover, more high quality randomised controlled trials are needed in order to investigate the therapeutic effects of pharmaceuticals against these pathways for the treatment of OA. This review may help researchers to better understand the pathogenesis of OA, so as to provide new insight for future clinical practices and translational research.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), characterized by acute renal dysfunction, is an increasingly common clinical problem and an important risk factor in the subsequent development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Regardless of the initial insults, the progression of CKD after AKI involves multiple types of cells, including renal resident cells and immune cells such as macrophages. Recently, the involvements of macrophages in AKI-to-CKD transition have garnered significant attention. Furthermore, substantial progress has also been made in elucidating the pathophysiological functions of macrophages from the acute kidney to repair or fibrosis. In this review, we highlight current knowledge regarding the roles and mechanisms of macrophage activation and phenotypic polarization, and transdifferentiation in the development of AKI-to-CKD transition. In addition, the potential of macrophage-based therapy for preventing AKI-to-CKD transition is also discussed.

Abstract
Vascular damage of hypertension has been the focus of hypertension treatment, and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an important role in the repair of vascular endothelial damage. Functional damage and decreased number of EPCs are observed in the peripheral circulation of hypertensive patients, but its mechanism is not yet elucidated. Here, we show that the number of EPCs in hypertensive patients is significantly lower than that of normal population, and the cell function decreases with a higher proportion of EPCs at later stages. A decrease in autophagy is responsible for the senescence and damage of EPCs induced by AngII. Moreover, lncRNA-p21 plays a critical regulator role in EPCs' senescence and dysfunction. Furthermore, lncRNA-p21 activates SESN2/AMPK/TSC2 pathway by promoting the transcriptional activity of p53 and enhances autophagy to protect against AngII-induced EPC damage. The data provide evidence that a reversal of decreased autophagy serves as the protective mechanism of EPC injury in hypertensive patients, and lncRNA-p21 is a new therapeutic target for vascular endothelial repair in hypertension.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a critical process in the formation of new capillaries and a key participant in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. The adipokine apelin (APLN) plays critical roles in several cellular functions, including angiogenesis. We report that APLN treatment of RA synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) increased angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) expression. Ang1 antibody abolished endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) tube formation and migration in conditioned medium from APLN-treated RASFs. We also found significantly higher levels of APLN and Ang1 expression in synovial fluid from RA patients compared with those with osteoarthritis. APLN facilitated Ang1-dependent EPC angiogenesis by inhibiting miR-525-5p synthesis via phospholipase C gamma (PLCγ) and protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) signaling. Importantly, infection with APLN shRNA mitigated EPC angiogenesis, articular swelling, and cartilage erosion in ankle joints of mice with collagen-induced arthritis. APLN is therefore a novel therapeutic target for RA.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a critical process in the formation of new capillaries and a key participant in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. The chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 13 (CXCL13) plays important roles in several cellular functions such as infiltration, migration, and motility. We report significantly higher levels of CXCL13 expression in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice compared with controls and also in synovial fluid from RA patients compared with human osteoarthritis (OA) samples. RA synovial fluid increased endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) homing and angiogenesis, which was blocked by the CXCL13 antibody. By interacting with the CXCR5 receptor, CXCL13 facilitated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and angiogenesis in EPC through the PLC, MEK, and AP-1 signaling pathways. Importantly, infection with CXCL13 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) mitigated EPC homing and angiogenesis, articular swelling, and cartilage erosion in ankle joints of mice with CIA. CXCL13 is therefore a novel therapeutic target for RA.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a critical process in the formation of new capillaries and a key participant in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) facilitates angiogenesis and the progression of RA. Phosphorylation of sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) produces sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which increases inflammatory cytokine production, although the role of S1P in RA angiogenesis is unclear. In this study, we evaluated the impact of S1P treatment on VEGF-dependent angiogenesis in osteoblast-like cells (MG-63 cells) and the significance of SphK1 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) on S1P production in an in vivo model. We found significantly higher levels of S1P and VEGF expression in synovial fluid from RA patients compared with those with osteoarthritis by ELISA analysis. Treating MG-63 cells with S1P increased VEGF production, while focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src siRNAs and inhibitors decreased VEGF production in S1P-treated MG-63 cells. Conditioned medium from S1P-treated osteoblasts significantly increased EPC tube formation and migration by inhibiting miR-16-5p synthesis via proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase src (c-Src) and FAK signaling in chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and Matrigel plug assays. Infection with SphK1 shRNA reduced angiogenesis, articular swelling and cartilage erosion in the ankle joints of mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). S1P appears to have therapeutic potential in RA treatment.

Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is an important factor in the induction of cardiovascular diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the vascular injury involved in hyperlipidemia remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the Notch pathway of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in reendothelialization after vascular injury and to explore the involvement of Notch pathway in the senescence of EPCs. Our results demonstrated that high-fat diet (HFD) treatment inhibited reendothelialization after vascular injury in the mice model. In vitro studies showed that 7-ketocholesterol (7-keto) stimulation induced senescence in the isolated EPCs from mice. In addition, 7-keto markedly upregulated the protein expression of Notch1 and Delta-like ligand 4 and induced the transport of notch intracellular domain (NICD) to the nucleus. Mechanistically, treatment with NICD inhibitor reduced the senescence of the EPCs stimulated by cholesterol. In summary, our results showed that HFD treatment caused the disruption of reendothelialization after vascular injury in the mouse model. In vitro studies indicated that 7-keto-induced senescence of EPCs was at least via the activation of the Notch1 pathway. Mechanistic data suggested that 7-keto may activate the Notch1 pathway by regulating the generation and transport of NICD to the nucleus. Future investigations are warranted to confirm the role of Notch1 in the dysfunction of EPCs during obesity.

Abstract
Background Effective regulation of the biological function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is of great importance in its clinical application. This study aimed to explore the effect of microRNA-126 (miR-126) on the proliferation and migration of EPCs and the possible mechanism involved. Methods EPCs was isolated and cultured in vitro, and differences in the expression of miR-126 in endothelial cells (ECs) and EPCs, respectively, were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR). EPCs proliferation was then observed through CCK8 and colony formation experiments. Flow cytometry was also used to observe changes in the cycle and apoptosis of EPCs, and their migration ability was detected by scratch healing and Transwell assays. RT-PCR and Western blotting were carried out to observe the expression of key mRNA molecules and proteins of the Notch pathway. Results The relative expression of miR-126 in the EPCs group were 1.91±0.21, which was significantly higher than that in the EC group (1.25±0.06, P<0.05). When si-miR-126 and si-NC were transfected into the EPCs, it was found that the proliferation ability of cells in the si-miR-126 group decreased significantly (P<0.05), the apoptotic rate of the cells transfected with si-miR-126 was significantly increased, and the cell cycle was blocked at G0/G1 phase. RT-PCR and Western blotting demonstrated that the mRNA and protein expressions of Notch 1 and HES were significantly decreased in the si-miR-126 group. Conclusions miR-126 can effectively promote the proliferation, invasion, and migration of EPCS, while inhibiting apoptosis, through the Notch1 pathway.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) pannus contains a network of neovascularization that is formed and maintained by angiogenesis, which is promoted by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are involved in VEGF-induced vessel formation in OA. The adipokine visfatin stimulates the release of inflammatory cytokines during OA progression. In this study, we found significantly higher visfatin and VEGF serum concentrations in patients with OA compared with healthy controls. We describe how visfatin enhanced VEGF expression in human OA synovial fibroblasts (OASFs) and facilitated EPC migration and tube formation. Treatment of OASFs with PI3K and Akt inhibitors or siRNAs attenuated the effects of visfatin on VEGF synthesis and EPC angiogenesis. We also describe how miR-485-5p negatively regulated visfatin-induced promotion of VEGF expression and EPC angiogenesis. In our OA rat model, visfatin shRNA was capable of inhibiting visfatin and rescuing EPC angiogenesis and pathologic changes. We detail how visfatin affected VEGF expression and EPC angiogenesis in OASFs by inhibiting miR-485-5p synthesis through the PI3K and Akt signaling pathways.

Abstract
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. There is increasing evidence that some miRNAs are involved in the pathology of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. We hypothesized that the functions of certain miRNAs and the changes in their patterns of expression may contribute to the pathogenesis of impaired fractures due to DM. Methods In this study, 108 male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into DM and control groups. DM rats were created by a single intravenous injection of streptozotocin. Closed transverse femoral shaft fractures were created in both groups. On post-fracture days 5, 7, 11, 14, 21, and 28, miRNA was extracted from the newly generated tissue at the fracture site. Microarray analysis was conducted with miRNA samples from each group on post-fracture days 5 and 11. The microarray findings were validated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis at each time point. Results Microarray analysis revealed that, on days 5 and 11, 368 and 207 miRNAs, respectively, were upregulated in the DM group, compared with the control group. The top four miRNAs on day 5 were miR-339-3p, miR451-5p, miR-532-5p, and miR-551b-3p. The top four miRNAs on day 11 were miR-221-3p, miR376a-3p, miR-379-3p, and miR-379-5p. Among these miRNAs, miR-221-3p, miR-339-3p, miR-376a-3p, miR-379-5p, and miR-451-5p were validated by real-time PCR analysis. Furthermore, PCR analysis revealed that these five miRNAs were differentially expressed with dynamic expression patterns during fracture healing in the DM group, compared with the control group. Conclusions Our findings will aid in understanding the pathology of impaired fracture healing in DM and may support the development of molecular therapies using miRNAs for the treatment of impaired fracture healing in patients with DM.

Abstract
The increase of blood pressure accelerates endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) senescence, hence a significant reduction in the number of EPCs is common in patients with hypertension. Autophagy is a defense and stress regulation mechanism to assist cell homeostasis and organelle renewal. A growing number of studies have found that autophagy has a positive role in repairing vascular injury, but the potential mechanism between autophagy and senescence of EPCs induced by hypertension has rarely been studied. Therefore, in this study, we aim to explore the relationship between senescence and autophagy, and investigate the protective effect of rhynchophylline (Rhy) on EPCs. In angiotensin II (Ang II)-treated EPCs, enhancing autophagy through rapamycin mitigated Ang II-induced cell senescence, on the contrary, 3-methyladenine aggravated the senescence by weakening autophagy. Similarly, Rhy attenuated senescence and improved cellular function by rescuing the impaired autophagy in Ang II-treated EPCs. Furthermore, we found that Rhy promoted autophagy by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Our results show that enhanced autophagy attenuates EPCs senescence and Rhy rescues autophagy impairment to protect EPCs against Ang II injury.

Abstract
Red-osier dogwood extracts (RDE) contain high levels of phenolic compounds which have been recognized as natural antioxidants. In this study, the potential of RDE to prevent cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) was evaluated using Caco-2 cells and a co-culture model of Caco-2 BBe1/EA.hy926 cells in Transwell® plates. The results showed that RDE supplementation significantly prevented interleukin-8 (IL-8) production and suppressed the gene expression of IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) in the TNF-α inflamed Caco-2 cells. Meanwhile, the polyphenols (quercetin-3-glucoside, quercetin-glucuronide, rutin, quercetin-3-O-malonylglucoside, and kaempferol-glucoside) in the RDE were validated to be absorbed by Caco-2 BBe1 cells and transported to the basal chamber where EA.hy926 cells were located during 12 h incubation. The transported polyphenols were able to prevent IL-8 production and suppress the gene expression of proinflammatory mediators (TNF-α, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and COX-2) in the TNF-α or oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) treated EA.hy926 cells. These novel findings demonstrated that phenolic compounds in RDE can be transported to the cardiovascular system by intestinal absorption and mitigate the inflammatory responses of vascular endothelial cells, indicating that RDE could be a natural resource of polyphenols to prevent inflammation cytokine or oxidized lipid-induced CVDs.

Abstract
Background African American (AA) subjects with essential hypertension (EH) have greater inflammation and cardiovascular complications than Caucasian EH. An impaired endogenous cellular repair system may exacerbate vascular injury in hypertension, yet whether these differ between AA EH and Caucasian EH remains unknown. Vascular repair by circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is controlled by regulators of EPC mobilization, homing, adhesion and new vessel formation, but can be hindered by various cytokines. We hypothesized that EPC levels and function would be impaired in AA EH compared with Caucasian EH, in association with increased levels of inflammatory mediators and EPC regulators. Methods CD34+/KDR+ EPCs were isolated from inferior vena cava and renal vein blood samples of AA EH and Caucasian EH patients (n = 18 each) and from peripheral veins of 17 healthy volunteers (HVs) and enumerated using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Angiogenic function of late-outgrowth endothelial cells expanded from these samples for 3 weeks was tested in vitro. Levels of inflammatory mediators, angiogenic factors and EPC regulators were measured by Luminex. Results EPC levels were decreased in both AA and Caucasian EH compared with HVs, whereas their late-outgrowth endothelial cell angiogenic function was comparable. Levels of several inflammatory mediators were elevated in AA EH compared with Caucasian EH and HVs. Contrarily, vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor-2 were lower. EPC levels inversely correlated with blood pressure in all hypertensive patients and estimated glomerular filtration rate with inflammatory mediators only in AA EH. Conclusions Despite lower EPC numbers, decreased vascular endothelial growth factor signaling and inflammation, EPC function is preserved in AA EH compared with Caucasian EH and HVs, suggesting compensatory mechanisms for vascular repair.

Abstract
Desmogleins (Dsg2) are the major components of desmosomes. Dsg2 has five extracellular tandem cadherin domains (EC1-EC5) for cell-cell interaction. We had previously confirmed the Dsg2 antibody and its epitope (named KC21) derived from EC2 domain suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasion in human cancer cell lines. Here, we screened six peptide fragments derived from EC2 domain and found that KR20, the parental peptide of KC21, was the most potent one on suppressing endothelial colony-forming cell (ECFC) tube-like structure formation. KC21 peptide also attenuated migration but did not disrupt viability and proliferation of ECFCs, consistent with the function to inhibit VEGF-mediated activation of p38 MAPK but not AKT and ERK. Animal studies showed that KC21 peptides suppressed capillary growth in Matrigel implant assay and inhibited oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization. The effects were comparable to bevacizumab (Bev). In conclusion, KC21 peptide is an angiogenic inhibitor potentially useful for treating angiogenesis-related diseases.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) could facilitate the reendothelialization of injured arteries by replacing the dysfunctional endothelial cells, thereby suppressing the formation of neointima. Meanwhile, other findings suggest that EPCs may be involved in the pathogenesis of age-related vascular remodeling. This review is presented to summarize the characteristics of EPCs and age-related vascular remodeling. In addition, the role of EPCs in age-related vascular remodeling and possible solutions for improving the therapeutic effects of EPCs in the treatment of age-related diseases are discussed.

Abstract
There is evidence that angiotensin II (Ang II) may impair the functions of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). It was revealed that DJ-1 could resist oxidative stress. In this study, we investigated whether DJ-1 could protect EPCs against Ang II-induced cell damage. The proliferation and migration of EPCs were strongly reduced in the Ang II group and were increased by overexpression of DJ-1. Western blotting indicated that the increased expression of the senescence marker β-galactosidase and decreased expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1) induced by Ang II were reversed after Ad-DJ-1 transfection. The reduced angiogenic capacity of EPCs caused by Ang II was also improved after Ad-DJ-1 transfection. Moreover, Ang II significantly increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β), reduced the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and these were reversed by Ad-DJ-1 transfection. Expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) and heme oxygenase (HO-1) was increased by DJ-1. Therefore, HO-1 siRNA were constructed and transfected into EPCs, and the results showed that HO-1 siRNA transfection inhibited the effects of DJ-1 on EPC function. Thus, our study implies that DJ-1 may protect EPCs against Ang II-induced dysfunction by activating the PPARγ/HO-1. J. Cell. Biochem. 119: 392-400, 2018. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Purpose We investigated whether subthreshold retinal phototherapy (SRPT) was associated with recruitment of bone marrow (BM)–derived cells to the neurosensory retina (NSR) and RPE layer. Methods GFP chimeric mice and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to SRPT using a slit-lamp infrared laser. Duty cycles of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% (0.1 seconds, 250 mW, spot size 50 μm) with 30 applications were placed 50 to 100 μm from the optic disc. In adoptive transfer studies, GFP+ cells were given intravenously immediately after WT mice received SRPT. Immunohistochemistry was done for ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1 (IBA-1+), CD45, Griffonia simplicifolia lectin isolectin B4, GFP or cytokeratin). Expression of Ccl2, Il1b, Il6, Hspa1a, Hsp90aa1, Cryab, Hif1a, Cxcl12, and Cxcr4 mRNA and flow cytometry of the NSR and RPE-choroid were performed. Results Within 12 to 24 hours of SRPT, monocytes were detected in the NSR and RPE-choroid. Detection of reparative progenitors in the RPE occurred at 2 weeks using flow cytometry. Recruitment of GFP+ cells to the RPE layer occurred in a duty cycle–dependent manner in chimeric mice and in mice undergoing adoptive transfer. Hspa1a, Hsp90aa1, and Cryab mRNAs increased in the NSR at 2 hours post laser; Hif1a, Cxcl12, Hspa1a increased at 4 hours in the RPE-choroid; and Ccl2, Il1b, Ifng, and Il6 increased at 12 to 24 hours in the RPE-choroid. Conclusions SRPT induces monocyte recruitment to the RPE followed by hematopoietic progenitor cell homing at 2 weeks. Recruitment occurs in a duty cycle–dependent manner and potentially could contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of SRPT.
