Altered Gene Expression Profiles in the Lungs of Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Mice.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus is a common heterogeneous metabolic disorder, characterized by deposition of extracellular matrix, oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction, thereby leading to gradual loss of function in multiple organs. However, little attention has been paid to gene expression changes in the lung under hyperglycemic conditions. In this study, we found that diabetes inuced histological changes in the lung of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Global gene expression profiling revealed a set of genes that are up- and down-regulated in the lung of diabetic mice. Among these, expression of Amigo2, Adrb2, and Zbtb16 were confirmed at the transcript level to correlate significantly with hyperglycemia in the lung. We further evaluated the effect of human umbilical cord-derived perivascular stem cells (PVCs) on these gene expression in the lung of diabetic mice. Our results show that administration of PVC-conditioned medium significantly suppressed Amig2, Adrb2, and Zbtb16 upregulation in these mice, suggesting that these genes may be useful indicators of lung injury during hyperglycemia. Furthermore, PVCs offer a promising alternative cell therapy for treating diabetic complications via regulation of gene expression.

Project description:BackgroundAdipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) therapy is emerging as a novel therapeutic option for the treatment of a variety of diseases including diabetes and diabetic wound healing. Multiple studies indicate that ASCs could promote wound healing and reverse diabetes. However, whether ASCs from diabetic donors retain their therapeutic functions and the mechanisms of how ASCs contribute to wound healing remain largely unknown. In this study, we explored the cutaneous wound healing ability of ASCs collected from C57BL/6 mice that had been rendered diabetic with streptozotocin (STZ).MethodsASCs were harvested from adipose tissues of type 1 diabetic (T1D) or normal C57BL/6 mice. Cell phenotypes were evaluated by flow cytometry analysis, and cell differentiation into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteocytes was compared. Secretions of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β1), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by ASCs were assessed by ELISA. Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts co-cultured with T1D ASCs or control ASCs were also compared. The therapeutic effects of T1D and control ASCs in promoting wound closure were measured in vivo in a T1D wound mouse model. Granulation tissues were collected and stained with H&E at 14th day. CD34 and collagen I were detected by immunohistochemistry. Expressions of IL-6, α-SMA, CD31, collagen I, and collagen III were quantified by real-time PCR. GFP-expressing ASCs were used to trace in vivo cell differentiation.ResultsT1D ASCs and control ASCs showed similar expression of cell surface markers (CD29, CD34, CD105) and proliferation pattern. They can both differentiate into different cell types. T1D ASCs secreted similar amounts of VEGF and bFGF, but less TGF-β compared with control ASCs. Like control ASCs, T1D ASCs promoted the proliferation and migration of skin fibroblast cells. When injected in cutaneous wound of T1D mice, T1D ASCs increased wound closure and hair follicle regeneration at a comparable extent as ASCs. Mice receiving T1D ASCs or ASCs exhibited significantly higher expressions of collagen I, collagen III, and CD31 and reduced expression of IL-6 in wound tissues. Immunohistochemistry staining showed increased angiogenesis in mice receiving ASCs as was evident by increased CD34+ cells and collagen I staining. GFP+ ASCs injection showed that ASCs differentiated into fibroblasts and endothelial cells in vivo.ConclusionsOur results suggest that T1D ASCs could accelerate cutaneous wound healing. Mechanisms may include increasing fibroblast growth and migration, skin angiogenesis, and differentiation into fibroblasts and endothelial cells. This study provides evidence that diabetic ASCs may be used as a therapeutic option in cutaneous wound healing in diabetic recipients.
