Angiopoietin-Like 4 Is Involved in the Poor Angiogenic Potential of High Glucose-Insulted Bone Marrow Stem Cells

Abstract

Background and ObjectivesDiabetes is reported to reduce the function or number of progenitor cells. We compared the gene expression patterns of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from diabetic (DM-BMCs) and healthy (non-DM-BMCs) rats and suggested Angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4) could be a responsible factor for impaired angiogenesis of DM-BMCs.Subjects and MethodsBMCs were isolated from DM or non-DM rat, and in vitro angiogenesis activity was compared by tube formation assay on Matrigel and complementary deoxyribonucleic acid expression was analyzed by microarray with or without oxytocin treatment. Human BMCs (hBMCs) were treated with high glucose, and were performed polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Angptl4 plasmid DNA and micro ribonucleic acid-132 (miR-132) were transfected to immortalized hBMCs.ResultsIn vitro angiogenesis assay showed the impaired tube formation in DM-BMCs, and slightly recovery by oxytocin treatment. Angptl4, an adipokine, was upregulated in DM-BMCs compared to non-DM-BMCs. Oxytocin treatment reduced Angptl4 in DM-BMCs. In hBMCs, overexpression of Angptl4 attenuated the tube formation. In addition to Angptl4, miR-132 was increased by high glucose treatment. Collectively, high glucose resulted in impaired tube formation through miR-132 induction and Angptl4 upregulation in BMCs.ConclusionOur results show that the angiogenic activity of BMCs is impaired by high glucose stress, which would be mediated by Angptl4 and miR-132.

Impaired Bone Regenerative Effect of Exosomes Derived from Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Type 1 Diabetes

“…Exosomes, originating from the endosomes of parental cells, are highly stable in terms of cargo storage and therefore faithfully reflect the genomic characteristics of their parent cell . Consistent with the findings in BMSCs , in the present study, we demonstrate that the pro‐osteogenic and proangiogenic effects of BMSC‐exos are also impaired by T1DM. As mentioned above, it is widely acknowledged that exosomes promote tissue regeneration by transferring functional cargo consisting of genetic information (RNA and DNA), proteins and other molecules to target cells, thereby regulating the bioactivity of the recipient cells .…”

“…In particular, as a promising seed cell in tissue engineering, BMSCs are negatively affected by diabetes mellitus. Researchers have reported that the angiogenic activity and osteogenesis of BMSCs were impaired by diabetes mellitus . Although the reason why diabetes deteriorates the function of BMSCs is not completely understood, two primary explanations are available.…”

Angiopoietin‐like 4 production upon treatment with hypoxia and L‐mimosine in periodontal fibroblasts

“…A major signaling factor in the modulation of angiogenesis as well as in hypoxia‐induced bone resorption is angiopoietin‐like 4 . Furthermore, angiopoietin‐like 4 is involved in inflammation, lipid metabolism, and tissue regeneration .…”
