Abstract
⺠Circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) have neovascularization capacities. ⺠Platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) augmented adhesion capacity of CACs. ⺠PMP-pretreated CACs injection augmented neovascularization of mice ischemic limbs. ⺠PMP-released RANTES may play a role in the augmented effect for CACs. ⺠PMP-pretreated CACs injection may be a new strategy of therapeutic angiogenesis.
