Recent experiments show that hematopoietic progenitor cell
populations contain endothelial precursor cells. We have isolated a
population of CD34+ cells that expresses fibroblast growth
factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1) and that differentiates into endothelial
cells in vitro. We find that 4.5% ± 2.1% of CD34+
cells isolated from bone marrow, cord blood, and mobilized peripheral blood express FGFR-1 and that viable CD34+FGFR+
cells are small, with little granularity, and express both primitive hematopoietic and endothelial markers on their surface. The primitive hematopoietic markers AC133, c-kit, and Thy-1 are coexpressed by 75%,
85%, and 64% of CD34+FGFR+ cells,
respectively. Most of the CD34+FGFR+ cells also
express antigens found on endothelial cells, such as CD31, vascular
endothelial growth factor receptor-2, and the endothelial-specific cell
surface marker, vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin),
whereas 56% to 60% of the cells express Tie, Tek, and the
endothelial-specific marker, P1H12. The
CD34+FGFR+ population is enriched in cells
expressing endothelial-specific antigens compared with the
CD34+ population. Isolated
CD34+FGFR+ cells grow slowly in culture, are
stimulated by fibroblast growth factor-2 and vascular endothelial
growth factor, and give rise to cells that express von Willebrand
factor and VE-cadherin and that incorporate acetylated low-density
lipoprotein. These experiments show that FGFR-1 is expressed by a
subpopulation of CD34+ cells that give rise to endothelial
cells in vitro, indicating that this population contains endothelial
stem/progenitor cells.
