Background— Stromal cell–derived factor-1
(SDF-1) is implicated as a chemokine for endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). We therefore hypothesized that SDF-1 gene transfer would induce therapeutic neovascularization in vivo by functioning as a chemokine of EPC.
Methods and Results— To examine SDF-1–induced mobilization of EPC, we used bone marrow–transplanted mice whose blood cells ubiquitously express ß-galactosidase (LacZ). We produced unilateral hindlimb ischemia in the mice and transfected them with plasmid DNA encoding SDF-1 or empty plasmids into the ischemic muscles. SDF-1 gene transfer mobilized EPCs into the peripheral blood, augmented recovery of blood perfusion to the ischemic limb, and increased capillary density associated with partial incorporation of LacZ-positive cells into the capillaries of the ischemic limb, suggesting that SDF-1 induced vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. SDF-1 gene transfer did not affect ischemia-induced expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) but did enhance Akt and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity. Blockade of VEGF or NOS prevented all such SDF-1–induced effects.
Conclusions— SDF-1 gene transfer enhanced ischemia-induced vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in vivo through a VEGF/eNOS-related pathway. This strategy might become a novel chemokine therapy for next generation therapeutic neovascularization.
