dc.description.abstractEndothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are stem cells mainly derived from bone marrow; from where they migrate to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. eEPCs have been classified into two sub-populations, early (eEPC) and late EPCs (lEPC), depending on maturation stages in vitro. In addition, eEPC release endocrine mediators, including small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), which in turn may enhance the eEPC-mediated wound healing properties. Nevertheless, adenosine contributes to angiogenesis by recruiting eEPC at the injury site. However, whether ARs may enhance the secretome of eEPC, including sEVs, is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to inves-tigate whether AR activation increase the release of sEVs in eEPC, which in turn has paracrine effects on recipient endothelial cells. Results shown that 5 '-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), a non-selective agonist, increase both the protein levels of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and the number of sEVs released to the conditioned medium (CM) in primary culture of eEPC. Importantly, CM and EVs harvested from NECA-stimulated eEPC promote in vitro angiogenesis, without changes in cell proliferation, in recipient ECV-304 endothelial cells. This constitutes the first evidence showing that adenosine enhances sEVs release from eEPC, which has pro-angiogenic capacity on recipient endothelial cells.
