Study summary

The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential and safety of transarterial infusion of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized cluster of differentiation (CD) 133(+) cells when combined with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in treatment of below the knee (BTK) peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

CD133+ cell, a bone marrow derived subpopulation of adult hematopoietic progenitor cells, confers high proliferative, vasculogenic and regenerative capacity in vitro and in vivo. thereby suggesting that CD133+ cells may induce vasculogenesis, improve limb perfusion, prevent tissue loss and restore ambulatory function in patients with critical limb ischemia. Although several small, randomized trials have been conducted so far demonstrating safety of autologous cells of bone marrow origin for the treatment, the reported benefits were found to be variable. A meta-analysis of autologous bone marrow derived cell therapy for critical limb ischemia trials suggested that application of autologous stem cell transplantation in curing limb ischemic patients does not have obviously effectiveness in the improvement of ankle brachial pressure (ABI) of the limb ischemic patients. But it can dramatically reduce the rate of amputation.

Therefore, in the present study, the investigators aim to evaluate the therapeutic potential and safety of transarterial infusion of g-csf-mobilized CD 133(+) cells when combined with PTA in treatment of below the knee PAD in diabetic patients.

Interventions

  • BiologicalG-CSF + CD133(+) cells

    Patients in the G-CSF + CD133(+) cells + PTA group, received 150 unit of recombinant human G-CSF intramuscular injection to mobilize CD 133 cells from bone marrow to peripheral blood. After 72-120 hrs, 100 ml suspension of peripheral arterial blood were collected and send to Good Products Manufacturing (GPM) certified laboratory (Shanghai Chen Chuan Biological Material Co. Ltd.) within 24 hrs of obtaining sample to isolate CD 133(+) endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) using magnetic cell separator. Subjects in this group, after vascular PTA treatment, received transarterial infusion of 50 ml suspension of isolated autologous CD 133(+) cells over 30 min via catheter opened into popliteal artery. The infusion of CD 133 cells was repeated after 24 hours.

  • BiologicalG-CSF

    Subjects in this group, after vascular PTA treatment, received 150 unit of recombinant human G-CSF intramuscular injection to mobilize EPCs from bone marrow to peripheral blood. But the C133 (+) cells were not isolated from the peripheral blood to infuse transarterially as in G-CSF + CD133(+) + PTA.

  • Procedurepercutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)

    Subjects in this group only underwent below the knee percutaneous transluminal angioplasty .

  • BiologicalPlacebo infusion

    Neither G-CSF was injected nor CD133(+) cells. Instead, subjects received placebo infusion (50 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride injection ) over 30 min.
