ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the expression of stromal cell derived factor-1?(SDF-1?) in vessels after common carotid artery balloon injury. Methods Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into control group(group C) and balloon injury group(group S).The latter was subdivided into group S0(just after surgery),group S1(1 d after surgery),group S4(4 d after surgery) and group S7(7 d after surgery).Rats in group S were performed left common carotid artery balloon injury.For all the rats,peripheral blood samples were taken,and CD34+CXCR4+cells were detected with flow cytometer.The left common carotid arteries were obtained to detect the expression of SDF-1? mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively. Results The number of CD34+CXCR4+ cells increased significantly in peripheral blood(P
