Abstract
BACKGROUND: Inflammation is the driving force in atherosclerosis. One central strategy in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the promotion of angiogenesis. Here, proangiogenic Tie-2 expressing monocytes (TEM) and circulating angiogenic cells (CAC) play a crucial role. Exercise training (ET) is recommended in PAD patients at Fontaine stage II to promote angiogenesis. METHODS: 40 patients with intermittend claudication (IC) [2 groups: supervised ET (SET) vs. non-supervised ET (nSET), each n = 20] and 20 healthy controls were included in the study. Analysis of TEM and CAC was performed from whole blood by flow-cytometry. TEM were identified via CD45, CD86, CD14, CD16 and analysed for the expression of Tie-2. CAC were identified via their expression of CD45 (CD45dim), CD34 and VEGF-R2 (CD309/KDR). Follow up was performed after mean of 7.65 ± 1.62 months. RESULTS: In comparison to healthy controls, we found increased proportions of CAC (p < 0.0001) and similar TEM numbers in both ET groups. At follow-up (FU) TEM poroportions increased (p < 0.001) and CAC proportions decreased (p < 0.01), but both more significantly in SET (p < 0.001) than nSET (p = 0.01). Only in SET fibrinogen levels decreased and VEGF-A increased (both p < 0.05). Finally, we found in both ET groups a significant increase in absolute walking distance but with a higher individual increase in SET (p < 0.01). TEM and CAC proportions correlated inversely with the absolute walking distance (CAC: r = -0.296, p = 0.02; TEM: r = -0.270, p = 0.04) as well as with ABI (CAC: r = -0.394, p < 0.01; TEM: r = -0.382, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: ET influences the distribution of CAC and TEM proportions. nSET, although still effective in regard to an improved walking distance, is less effective in the influence of proangiogenic cells and inflammatory burden than SET. Our results indicate SET to be a more preferential exercise form, supporting the necessity to establish more SET programs.
