Background. A severe form of coronary heart disease (CHD) is ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP), the pathogenesis of which has not been fully studied. Disturbances in the mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) due to an imbalance of angiogenesis mediators may exacerbate ischemia in ICMP. The aim — to establish the peculiarities of changes in the balance of early and late EPС and subpopulations of VEGFR2+ cells in the blood and bone marrow in relation to the content of angiogenesis mediators and the number of desquamated endothelial cells (DEK) in the blood of patients with CHD, suffering and not suffering from ICMP. Methods. A single-stage, clinical, controlled (case-control) study was conducted from March 2019 to June 2022. 52 patients with CHD who had a history of myocardial infarction were examined: 30 people suffering from ICMP and 22 people not suffering from ICMP, as well as 15 healthy donors. The content of VEGFR2+, VEGFR2+CD34+CD14+ (early EPC), VEGFR2+CD34+CD14– (late EPC), VEGFR2+CD34–CD14+, VEGFR2+CD34–CD14– cells in patients with CHD in the blood (before surgery) and bone marrow (sampling was performed at the beginning of coronary bypass) and in healthy individuals in the blood, as well as (in both groups) the content of CD45–CD146+ DEC in the blood was determined by flow cytometry. The concentration of SDF-1, VEGF-A, MCP-1, GM-CSF, G-CSF in blood plasma was measured by multiplex immunofluorescence analysis. Results. The development of CHD without cardiomyopathy was accompanied by an increase in the content of VEGFR2+CD34+CD14+ and VEGFR2+ cells (0.74 [0.46; 1.23]% and 10.00 [8.20; 11.60]%, respectively, versus 0.19 [0.13; 0.32]%, p 0.001 and 5.40 [4.30; 6.50]%, p = 0.005) and concentrations of SDF-1, MCP-1, GM-CSF (respectively 60.00 [50.00; 81.00] pg/ml; 223.0 [180.0; 297.0] pg/ml; 2.10 [1.45; 3.40] pg/ml versus 30.00 [5.00; 45.00] pg/ml, p = 0.041; 175.1 [140.0; 204.0] pg/ml, p = 0.046; 0.96 [0.46; 1.41] pg/ml, p = 0.038) in the blood relative to the norm. No such changes were observed in patients with ICMP. Regardless of the presence of ICMP, the content of VEGFR2+CD34+CD14–, VEGFR2+CD34–CD14+, VEGFR2+CD34–CD14– cells, VEGF-A, G-CSF in the blood of patients with CHD varied within physiological values, and the number of DEC exceeded the norm (7.26 [5.43; 17.94]×105/l, p = 0.039). The number of VEGFR2+ cells and their immunophenotypes in the bone marrow of patients with ICMP did not differ from the parameters in patients with CHD without cardiomyopathy. Prolonged bleeding from the venopuncture area was registered in one CHD patient without cardiomyopathy. Conclusion. The development of ICMP is associated with the absence of a compensatory response to atherogenesis in the form of increased mobilization of early EPC from the bone marrow due to the absence of a reaction associated with hyperproduction of SDF-1, MCP-1, GM-CSF, which is characteristic of CHD without cardiomyopathy. The content of EPС, VEGFR2+CD34–CD14+ and VEGFR2+CD34–CD14– cells, VEGF-A and G-CSF in the blood in СHD corresponds to physiological values, regardless of the presence of ICMP. The generation of EPC in the bone marrow in ICMP is not impaired.
