- Abstract
Cell therapies involving the administration of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) have shown promise; however, their overall effectiveness lacks evidence, and the exact mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, we examined the angiogenic effects of well-controlled human bone marrow cell isolates on endothelial cells. The responses of endothelial cell proliferation, migration, tube formation, and aortic ring sprouting were analyzed in vitro, considering both the direct and paracrine effects of BM cell isolates. Furthermore, we conducted these investigations under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions to simulate the ischemic environment. Interestingly, no significant effect on the angiogenic response of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) following treatment with BM-MNCs was observed. This study fails to provide significant evidence for angiogenic effects from human bone marrow cell isolates on human endothelial cells. These in vitro experiments suggest that the potential benefits of BM-MNC therapy for CLTI patients may not involve endothelial cell angiogenesis.
