PTX3 and endothelial dysfunction: Out of the four remnant proteins, one regulatory protein (DPPIV) (Figure 10A(k)) was significantly higher in IDP-ECFC (IM), but lower in DP-ECFC (IM) in comparison with CB-ECFC (IM), and one regulatory protein (endothelin-1) (Figure 10A(c)), one inflammatory cytokine (IL-8) (Figure 10C(c)), and one molecular marker of endothelial dysfunction (pentraxin 3) (Figure 10D) were significantly decreased in IDP-ECFC (IM), but increased in DP-ECFC (IM).
