Norepinephrine Stimulates Mobilization of Endothelial Progenitor Cells after Limb Ischemia
Figure 2
NE increased EPCs in BM in mice with limb ischemia.
Cells from peripheral blood were lysed and analyzed with flow cytometry. BM derived EPCs were defined as CD34+/KDR+ cells (B). Proportion of EPCs in BM was increased from 1.47±0.29% to 4.23±1.01% after intraperitoneal injection of NE in mice with limb ischemia (A, * P<0.05 compared with model group). Representative flow cytometric analysis of EPCs (CD34+/Flk-1+cells) were showed in part B.
