Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) is a subtype of progenitor cells that can circulate, proliferate and have the ability to differentiate into mature endothelial cells. Exploration of EPC have significance to understand the vascular forming process of adults physiologically and pathologically. Cytokines, especially haematopoiesis-related cytokines, cellular stimulating factors in the body also influence EPC. In this review, the advances of research on the relationship between EPC and some cytokines related with haematopoiesis (G-CSF, EPO, HAPO and IL-18) and the potential signal transduction pathway were summarised.
