RESUMEN
The study analyzed the inhibitory effects (IC50) of crude and purified extracts from Maliniak, Cerise, Black Prince and Lima tomatoes on the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the activity of angiotensin-converting (ACE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymes. Polyphenol composition (LC-MS) and antioxidant capacity (PCL, FRAP) were measured. The purified extracts of Black Prince tomatoes were the most potent inhibitors of AGEs in BSA-GLU (7.20mg/mL) and BSA-MGO (9.53mg/mL) models. The purified extracts of Cerise and Black Prince tomatoes had the highest ACE (0.50-0.44mg/mL) and AChE (7.93-5.83mg/mL) inhibitory activity. Cerise variety showed the highest polyphenol concentrations in crude (488.93µg/g DM) and purified (8394.99µg/g DM) extracts. The highest PCLACW and FRAP values were found for Cerise purified extracts (71.83 and 87.78µmol Trolox/g DM). Caffeic acid, caffeoyl-glucose, linocaffein, glucosyl-coumarate, vanillic acid, rutin and TPI values were significantly correlated with BSA-MGO, anti-ACE, anti-AChE and PCLACW parameters.

OBJECTIVES: Cell-based therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of patients with heart failure. Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that paracrine mechanisms mediated by soluble factors released by the cells play a predominate role in reparative processes. The aim of our study was to analyze which cytokines are released by CD34+ enriched cell products intended for autologous transendocardial CD34+ cell transplantation in patients with cardiomyopathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The peripheral blood CD34+ cells from 12 patients were mobilized with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, collected via apheresis and enriched by immunoselection. RESULTS: In CD34+ enriched cell population, hematopoietic, but not mesenchymal or endothelial, progenitors were detected. Except for angiopoietin-1, other measured cytokines (FGF1, FGF2, VEGF, PDGF, IL-6, HGH, SDF-1α/CXCL12, NRG1) were not released by CD34+ cells. The average concentration of angiopoietin-1 released by 5×106 CD34+ cells grown in neutral DMEM medium was 213.6±130.0pg/mL (range: 74-448pg/mL). Angiopoietin-1 secretion correlated well with CD34+ cell's capacity for generating colonies derived from hematopoietic progenitors (Pearson's correlation=0.964; P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Our study presents angiopoietin-1 as an interesting candidate and suggests future studies to explore how its release by CD34+ cells might impact the success of autologous CD34+ cell transplantation.
