Seeding endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) onto the surface of vascular grafts has been proved to be a promising strategy to improve nonthrombogenic potentials of small diameter artificial vessels. Here, we investigated whether in vitro shear stress modulates the tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) secretion and mRNA expression in human EPCs and improves patency of the EPC-seeded polyurethane small diameter vascular grafts implanted in the canine carotid artery in vivo. In vitro shear stress. in a dose-dependent manner, increased t-PA secretion and mRNA expression of human EPCs. The in vivo implantation of EPC-seeded vascular grafts remained highly patent in shear stress pretreatment compared with stationary condition. The present findings demonstrate for the first time that in vitro shear stress can enhance t-PA secretion and gene expression in human EPCs, which contributes to improvement in nonthrombogenic potentials of EPC-seeded small diameter artificial vessels with maintenance of in vivo highly patency rate.
