Reprogramming of bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells in patients with severe coronary atherosclerosis
Innate immune cells importantly contribute to the pathphysiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease CVD. Previous studies show that isolated innate immune cells from patients with atherosclerotic CVD have an activated phenotype. To understand the origin of this immune cell activation, we performed bone marrow aspiration in 10 male patients with severe coronary artery disease (based on coronary CT angiography) and 10 control subjects in whom coronary atherosclerosis was excluded. After flow sorting of HSCs, MPPs, and GMPs, we performed RNAseq.
