Perivascular Cells and NADPH Oxidase Inhibition Partially Restore Hyperglycemia-Induced Alterations in Hematopoietic Stem Cell and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Populations in the Bone Marrow

초록

Background and Objectives: Patients suffer from long-term diabetes can result in severe complications in multiple Organs through induction of vascular dysfunctions. However, the effects of chronic hyperglycemic conditions on hema-topoiesis and the microenvironment in the bone marrow (BM) are not yet well understood. Methods: BM cells were harvested from femurs of mice and analyzed using flow cytometry. Human PVCs were cultured in serum-free alpha-MEM. After 24hrs, PVC-CM was collected and filtered through a 0.22 mu m filter. Results: In this study, we showed that hyperglycemia alters hematopoietic composition in the BM, which can partially be restored via paracrine mechanisms, including perivascular cells (PVCs) and NADPH oxidase (NOX) inhibition in mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Prolonged hyperglycemic conditions resulted in an increase in the frequency and number of long-term hematopoietic stem cells as well as the number of total BM cells. The altered hematopoiesis in the BM was partially recovered by treatment with PVC-derived conditioned medium (CM). Long-term diabetes also increased the number of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the BM, which was partially restored by the administration of PVC-CM and diphenylenciodonium (DPI), a NOX inhibitor. We further showed the downregulation of ERK and p38 phosphorylation in BM cells of diabetic mice treated with PVC-CM and DPI. This may be associated with dysfunetion of hematopoietic cells and promotion of subsequent diabetic complications. Conclusions: Our data suggested that alterations in BM hematopoietic composition due to prolonged hyperglycemic conditions might be restored by improvement of the hematopoietic microenvironment and modulation of NOX activity.
