Altered Secretome of Diabetic Monocytes Could Negatively Influence Fracture Healing-An In Vitro Study.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus is a main risk factor for delayed fracture healing and fracture non-unions. Successful fracture healing requires stimuli from different immune cells, known to be affected in diabetics. Especially, application of mononuclear cells has been proposed to promote wound and fracture healing. Thus, aim was to investigate the effect of pre-/diabetic conditions on mononuclear cell functions essential to promote osteoprogenitor cell function. We here show that pre-/diabetic conditions suppress the expression of chemokines, e.g., CCL2 and CCL8 in osteoprogenitor cells. The associated MCP-1 and MCP-2 were significantly reduced in serum of diabetics. Both MCPs chemoattract mononuclear THP-1 cells. Migration of these cells is suppressed under hyperglycemic conditions, proposing that less mononuclear cells invade the site of fracture in diabetics. Further, we show that the composition of cytokines secreted by mononuclear cells strongly differ between diabetics and controls. Similar is seen in THP-1 cells cultured under hyperinsulinemia or hyperglycemia. The altered secretome reduces the positive effect of the THP-1 cell conditioned medium on migration of osteoprogenitor cells. In summary, our data support that factors secreted by mononuclear cells may support fracture healing by promoting migration of osteoprogenitor cells but suggest that this effect might be reduced in diabetics.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known to impair fracture healing. Increasing evidence suggests that some microRNA (miRNA) is involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications. We hypothesized that the functions of miRNA and changes to their patterns of expression may be implicated in the pathogenesis of impaired fracture healing in DM. METHODS:Closed transverse fractures were created in the femurs of 116 rats, with half assigned to the DM group and half assigned to the control group. Rats with DM were induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. At post-fracture days five, seven, 11, 14, 21, and 28, miRNA was extracted from the newly generated tissue at the fracture site. Microarray analysis was performed with miRNA samples from each group on post-fracture days five and 11. For further analysis, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was performed at each timepoint. RESULTS:Microarray analysis showed that there were 14 miRNAs at day five and 17 miRNAs at day 11, with a greater than twofold change in the DM group compared with the control group. Among these types of miRNA, five were selected based on a comparative and extended literature review. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that five types of miRNA (miR-140-3p, miR-140-5p, miR-181a-1-3p, miR-210-3p, and miR-222-3p) were differentially expressed with changing patterns of expression during fracture healing in diabetic rats compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings provide information to further understand the pathology of impaired fracture healing in a diabetic rat model. These results may allow the potential development of molecular therapy using miRNA for the treatment of impaired fracture healing in patients with DM.Cite this article: S. Takahara, S. Y. Lee, T.
