Mesangiogenic Progenitor cells (MPCs) have been isolated from human bone marrow mononuclear cells (hBM-MNCs) and attracted particular attention for their ability to efficiently differentiate into exponentially growing mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and toward endothelial lineage, suggesting the term "mesangiogenic". Coupling mesengenesis and angiogenis, MPCs has been hypothesized retaining a great tissue regenerative potential in musculoskeletal tissues regeneration. Bone marrow and adipose tissue (AT) represent most promising adult multipotent cell sources attempting to repair bone and cartilage, with controversial results regarding advantages applying BM- or AT-derived cells. As different culture determinants as well as tissue of origins, could strongly affect regenerative potential of cell preparations, we hypothesize that MPCs counterpart could have a role in defining efficacy of applying a cell-based medicinal product in musculoskeletal tissue repair. Here we present convincing data demonstrating that the ex vivo progenitors of MPCs are tissue specific and can be detected exclusively in hBM-MNCs.
