Abstrakt: Background and Objectives: Angiogenesis is a key response to tissue ischemia that may be impaired by uremia. Although early-outgrowth endothelial progenitor-like cells promote angiogenesis in the setting of normal renal function, cells from uremic patients are dysfunctional. When compared with conventional hemodialysis, it was hypothesized that nocturnal hemodialysis would improve the in vivo angiogenic activity of these cells in a well described model of ischemic vascular disease.
Design, Setting, Participants, and Measurements: Early-outgrowth endothelial progenitor-like cells were cultured from healthy controls (n = 5) and age- and gender-matched conventional hemodialysis (12 h/wk, n = 10) and nocturnal hemodialysis (30 to 50 h/wk, n = 9) patients. Cells (5 × 10(5)) or saline were injected into the ischemic hindlimb of athymic nude rats 1 day after left common iliac artery ligation.
Results: Although conventional dialysis cell injection had no effect versus saline, nocturnal hemodialysis and healthy control cell injection significantly improved ischemic hindlimb perfusion and capillary density. Nocturnal hemodialysis cell injection was also associated with significant increases in endogenous angiopoietin 1 expression in the ischemic hindlimb compared with saline and conventional dialysis cell injection.
Conclusions: In contrast to a conventional dialytic regimen, nocturnal hemodialysis is associated with a significantly improved ability of early-outgrowth endothelial progenitor-like cells to promote angiogenesis and thus restore perfusion in a model of ischemic vascular disease.
