The Cytoprotective Effects of Human Endothelial Progenitor Cell-Conditioned Medium against an Ischemic Insult Are Not Dependent on VEGF and IL-8

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) promote revascularization and tissue repair mainly by paracrine actions. In the present study, we investigated whether EPC-secreted factors in the form of conditioned medium (EPC-CM) can protect cultured brain microvascular endothelial cells against an ischemic in...
