Abstract: The invention relates to a method for influencing the miR-92 expression in a cell, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a cell; and (b1) reducing the miR-92 expression in the cell in order to promote the vascularization or vessel repair by introducing an antisense molecule against miR-92 into the cell, or (b2) increasing the miR-92 expression in the cell for an inhibition of the tumor angiogenesis by introducing a construct into the cell, wherein said construct includes an expressible miR-92 sequence. Furthermore, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition, comprising an agent for reducing the miR-92 activity or expression in a cell in the form of an antisense molecule against miR-92, or an agent for increasing the miR-92 expression in a cell in the form of a construct for expressing miR-92.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vitro method for the analysis of a sample from a mammal in connection with cardiovascular diseases, wherein the method comprises the following steps: a) isolating of bone marrow-precursor cells (BMPs) and/or blood-derived circulating precursor cells (BDPs) by means of cell specific surface markers, and b) detecting the cardiovascular functionality of the isolated BMPs and/or BDPs by means of a suitable migration assay. The method according to the invention can be employed as a kit in the context of the diagnosis and/or the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases, for the monitoring of their therapies and/or for a stratification for a prospective cell therapy with stem- and/or precursor cells in order to increase the perfusion of ischemic tissue or for a regeneration of tissue losses (e.g. heart insufficiency), respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medicament comprising a mesoangioblast-like cell obtained from a subject, a method of isolating a mesoangioblast-like cell, a method of producing a mesoderm-derived cell using a mesoangioblast-like cell, the use of a mesoangioblast-like cell for the preparation of a medicament for treating a cardiovascular disease and/or an ischemic disease and a method of converting the mesoangioblast-like cell into a pluripotent stem cell.
