Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were first described in 1997 by Asahara et al. as "putative endothelial cells" from human peripheral blood. The study of endothelial progenitors is also intensifying in several pathologies associated with endothelial damage, including diabetes, myocardial infarction, sepsis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, obstructive bronchopneumopathy and transplantation. EPCs have been studied in several autoimmune diseases with endothelial involvement such as systemic lupus erythematosus, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Goujerot-Sjögren and antiphospholipid syndrome. Factors involved in endothelial damage are due to overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and/or autoantibodies. Management of these pathologies, particularly the long-term use of glucocorticoids and methotrexate, promote atherosclerosis. A lack of standardized assessment of the number and function of EPCs represents a serious challenge for the use of EPCs as prognostic markers of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The objective of this review was to describe EPCs, their properties and their involvement in several autoimmune diseases.
