CD34 is a cell surface marker, which is expressed in various somatic stem/progenitor cells such as bone marrow (BM)-derived hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), skeletal muscle satellite cells, epithelial hair follicle stem cells, and adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells. CD34+ cells in BM and peripheral blood are known as a rich source of EPCs. Thus, vascular regeneration therapy using granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized- or BM CD34+ cells has been carried out in patients with various vascular diseases such as chronic severe lower limb ischemia, acute myocardial infarction, refractory angina, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and dilated cardiomyopathy as well as ischemic stroke. Pilot and randomized clinical trials demonstrated the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of the CD34+ cell therapy in peripheral arterial, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases. This review provides an overview of the preclinical and clinical reports of CD34+ cell therapy for vascular regeneration.

Due to the lack of a gold standard method in canine lipoprotein analysis, it is unclear whether canine high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) can be accurately evaluated by the lipoprotein analysis methods used for dogs. This study investigated whether the ultracentrifugation-precipitation (U-P) method was suitable as a gold standard method for analyzing canine lipoprotein. First, the U-P method was compared with a gel permeation high performance liquid chromatography system (GP-HPLC). The concentrations of canine HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) determined by the U-P method correlated closely with those determined by GP-HPLC. However, the canine HDL-C concentration determined by the U-P method was lower than that by GP-HPLC, and the canine LDL-C concentration by the U-P method was higher than that by GP-HPLC. This study showed that some of the canine HDL could be precipitated with heparin manganese chloride solution. Second, the [HDL] and [LDL] fractions separated by the U-P method were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The [HDL] fraction was found to contain only apolipoprotein A-I, which is an apolipoprotein of HDL, whereas the [LDL] fraction contained both apolipoprotein A-I and apolipoprotein B-100, which is an apolipoprotein of LDL. This data showed that a certain lipoprotein that includes apolipoprotein A-I might precipitate with canine LDL by use of heparin manganese chloride solution. These results indicated that the U-P method is not currently a gold standard method for analyzing canine lipoproteins.
