The Role of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Coronary Artery Disease: Basic Molecular Mechanisms and Its Clinical Potentials

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains as the world number one cause of morbidity and mortality. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are known to be involved in vascular biology. Current review briefly summarizes the basics of EPCs and its clinical use in CAD.CONTENT: EPCs were firstly isolated in 1997 and involved in neovascularization. Further evidence defined EPCs into two distinguishable groups, namely: myeloid angiogenic cells (MACs) and endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs). Common cardiova… Show more

“…It is estimated that 17.9 million people died from cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and strokes in 2019 [2]. Several risk factors contribute to the development of coronary atherosclerosis, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, a diet high in saturated fat, a lack of exercise, inflammatory factors [3], endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) [4], and chronic periodontitis [5].…”
