Background: Prostacyclin (PGI2) enhances angiogenesis, especially in cooperation with bone marrow (BM)-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, the mechanisms of PGI2 in EPC-mediated angiogenesis in vivo remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of PGI2 in EPC-mediated angiogenesis using BM-specific IP deletion mice. Methods and Results: Hind limb ischemia (HLI) was induced in wild-type (WT) mice transplanted with IP-deleted BM (WT/BM(IP–/–). Recovery of blood flow (RBF) in WT/BM(IP–/–) was impaired for 28 days after HLI, whereas RBF in IP–/–/BM(WT) was attenuated for up to 7 days compared with WT/BM(WT). The impaired RBF in WT/BM(IP–/–) was completely recovered by intramuscular injection of WT EPCs but not IP–/– EPCs. The impaired effects of IP–/– EPCs were in accordance with reduced formation of capillary and arterioles in ischemic muscle. An ex vivo aortic ring assay revealed that microvessel formation was enhanced by accumulation/adhesion of EPCs to perivascular sites as pericytes. IP–/–EPCs, in which expression of integrins was decreased, had impaired production of angiogenic cytokines, adhesion to neovessels and their angiogenic effects. The small-interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of integrin β1 in WT EPCs attenuated adhesion to microvessels and their in vivo and in vitro angiogenic effects. Conclusions: PGI2 may induce persistent angiogenic effects in HLI through adhesion of EPCs to perivascular sites of neovessels via integrins in addition to paracrine effects.  (Circ J 2013; 77: 1053–1062)<br>
