Monocytic EPCs enriched in culture on fibronectin. (a) Representative images of monocytic EPCs cultured for 10 days, from an SSc patient, an RA patient, and a healthy control. Adherent cells with a typical spindle shape are regarded as monocytic EPCs. Scale bars = 500 mm. (b) Monocytic EPCs were quantified in SSc patients, RA patients, and healthy controls, and expressed as the number in 1 mL of peripheral blood. Horizontal bars indicate the mean values. NS, not significant.
