Phagocytic Activity Is Impaired in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Increases after Metabolic Improvement

Abstract: Objective1) To evaluate whether peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from type 2 diabetic patients present an impairment of phagocytic activity; 2) To determine whether the eventual impairment in phagocytic activity is related to glycemic control and can be reversed by improving blood glucose levels.Methods21 type 2 diabetic patients and 21 healthy volunteers were prospectively recruited for a case-control study. In addition, those patients in whom HbA1c was higher than 8% (n = 12) were hospitalized in o… Show more

“…Like myeloid cells from db patients (35), Gr-1 + cells from Lepr db/db mice have an impaired capacity for phagocytosis (36). To examine whether Cebpa induction by G-CSF could rescue this defect, we compared phagocytosis of Alexa Fluor 488-labeled zymosan particles by db-derived Gr-1 + cells cultured for 24 h in the presence and absence of G-CSF.…”
