Restoring the Angiogenic Capacity of the Human Diabetic Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells Primed with Deferoxamine as a Hypoxia Mimetic Agent: Role of HIF-1α
Abstract:Pupose: Insufficient angiogenesis is associated with serious diabetic complications. Recently, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are known to be a promising tool causing therapeutic neovascularization. However, the overall therapeutic efficacy of these cells is impaired by diabetes. This study aims to investigate whether in vitro pharmacological priming with deferoxamine, a hypoxia mimetic agent, could restore the angiogenic potential of diabetic human ADSCs. Methods: Diabetic human ADSCs were tre… Show more
