Derivation of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is a technique that could provide access to donor endothelial cells to study donor endothelium/recipient immune cells interactions. The success rate of ECFC colony formation from cryopreserved PBMCs has not been reported. We used biobanked PBMCs and studied the yield of ECFC generation. Endothelial phenotype was confirmed with CD31, CD146, CD309, CD34, CD14 and CD11c staining by flow cytometry and VE-cadherin, von Willebrand factor and Dil-Ac-LDL by fluorescent microscopy. Functionality was tested by endothelial cell tube-based formation assay. The success rate of ECFC generation was 28%. Freezing time was not a predictor of ECFC generation while a shorter time on dialysis and living transplant were significant determinants. These data suggest that it is possible to generate ECFCs from cryopreserved PBMCs, which is a potentially useful option for the longitudinal assessment of alloimmune response in transplantation.
