Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency Impairs Bone Marrow Myelopoiesis and Reduces Circulating Monocyte Levels.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Tissue macrophages induce and perpetuate proinflammatory responses, thereby promoting metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Lipoprotein lipase (LpL), the rate-limiting enzyme in blood triglyceride catabolism, is expressed by macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques. We questioned whether LpL, which is also expressed in the bone marrow (BM), affects circulating white blood cells and BM proliferation and modulates macrophage retention within the artery. APPROACH AND RESULTS:We characterized blood and tissue leukocytes and inflammatory molecules in transgenic LpL knockout mice rescued from lethal hypertriglyceridemia within 18 hours of life by muscle-specific LpL expression (MCKL0 mice). LpL-deficient mice had ?40% reduction in blood white blood cell, neutrophils, and total and inflammatory monocytes (Ly6C/Ghi). LpL deficiency also significantly decreased expression of BM macrophage-associated markers (F4/80 and TNF-? [tumor necrosis factor ?]), master transcription factors (PU.1 and C/EBP?), and colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) and their receptors, which are required for monocyte and monocyte precursor proliferation and differentiation. As a result, differentiation of macrophages from BM-derived monocyte progenitors and monocytes was decreased in MCKL0 mice. Furthermore, although LpL deficiency was associated with reduced BM uptake and accumulation of triglyceride-rich particles and macrophage CSF-macrophage CSF receptor binding, triglyceride lipolysis products (eg, linoleic acid) stimulated expression of macrophage CSF and macrophage CSF receptor in BM-derived macrophage precursor cells. Arterial macrophage numbers decreased after heparin-mediated LpL cell dissociation and by genetic knockout of arterial LpL. Reconstitution of LpL-expressing BM replenished aortic macrophage density. CONCLUSIONS:LpL regulates peripheral leukocyte levels and affects BM monocyte progenitor differentiation and aortic macrophage accumulation.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetes mellitus is a prevalent public health problem that affects about one-third of the US population and leads to serious vascular complications with increased risk for coronary artery disease. How bone marrow hematopoiesis contributes to diabetes mellitus complications is incompletely understood. We investigated the role of bone marrow endothelial cells in diabetic regulation of inflammatory myeloid cell production.MethodsIn 3 types of mouse diabetes mellitus, including streptozotocin, high-fat diet, and genetic induction using leptin-receptor-deficient db/db mice, we assayed leukocytes, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC). In addition, we investigated bone marrow endothelial cells with flow cytometry and expression profiling.ResultsIn diabetes mellitus, we observed enhanced proliferation of HSPC leading to augmented circulating myeloid cell numbers. Analysis of bone marrow niche cells revealed that endothelial cells in diabetic mice expressed less Cxcl12, a retention factor promoting HSPC quiescence. Transcriptome-wide analysis of bone marrow endothelial cells demonstrated enrichment of genes involved in epithelial growth factor receptor (Egfr) signaling in mice with diet-induced diabetes mellitus. To explore whether endothelial Egfr plays a functional role in myelopoiesis, we generated mice with endothelial-specific deletion of Egfr (Cdh5Cre Egfrfl/fl). We found enhanced HSPC proliferation and increased myeloid cell production in Cdh5Cre Egfrfl/fl mice compared with wild-type mice with diabetes mellitus. Disrupted Egfr signaling in endothelial cells decreased their expression of the HSPC retention factor angiopoietin-1. We tested the functional relevance of these findings for wound healing and atherosclerosis, both implicated in complications of diabetes mellitus. Inflammatory myeloid cells accumulated more in skin wounds of diabetic Cdh5Cre Egfrfl/fl mice, significantly delaying wound closure. Atherosclerosis was accelerated in Cdh5Cre Egfrfl/fl mice, leading to larger and more inflamed atherosclerotic lesions in the aorta.ConclusionsIn diabetes mellitus, bone marrow endothelial cells participate in the dysregulation of bone marrow hematopoiesis. Diabetes mellitus reduces endothelial production of Cxcl12, a quiescence-promoting niche factor that reduces stem cell proliferation. We describe a previously unknown counterregulatory pathway, in which protective endothelial Egfr signaling curbs HSPC proliferation and myeloid cell production.

Project description:Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-based therapy has immense potential to promote cardiac neovascularization and attenuate ischemic injury. Functional benefits of EPCs and other adult stem cell therapies largely involve paracrine mechanisms and exosomes secreted by stem cells are emerging as pivotal paracrine entity of stem/progenitor cells. However, modest outcomes after EPC-/stem cell-based clinical trials suggest that stem cell/exosome function might be modulated by stimuli they encounter in ischemic tissues, including systemic inflammation. We hypothesized that EPCs under inflammatory stress might produce exosomes of altered and dysfunctional content, which may compromise EPC repair in ischemic heart disease. We have previously shown that EPCs obtained from interleukin-10 knockout (IL-10KO) mice (model mimicking systemic inflammation) display impaired angiogenic functions. Whether IL-10KO-EPC-derived exosomes inherit their parental dysfunctional phenotype and whether inflammatory environment alters the cargo of their secreted exosomes are not known. After cell expansion from IL-10KO and wild-type (WT) mice, we isolated exosomes and compared their functions in terms of effect on cell survival, proliferation, migration, and angiogenic capacity in vitro. WT-EPC-Exo treatment enhanced endothelial cell proliferation and tube formation, and inhibited apoptosis, whereas IL-10KO-Exo exhibited impaired or even detrimental effects, suggesting that the reparative capacity of WT-EPC-Exo is lost in exosomes derived from IL-10-KO-EPCs. Deep RNA sequencing and proteomic analyses to compare WT and IL-10KO-Exo revealed drastically altered exosome cargo. Importantly, IL-10KO-EPC-Exo were highly enriched in microRNAs and proteins that promote inflammation and apoptosis and inhibit angiogenesis. Through modulation of a specific enriched miRNA (miR-375), we partially rescued IL-10KO-EPC-Exo dysfunction. Thus, our study revealed that EPC exosomes display impaired function under inflammatory stimulus through changed exosome contents, and the dysfunction can be rescued by modulation of a specific target packed in exosomes.
