Background: Bone marrow (BM)-derived mononuclear cells (MNCs) have been shown to effectively treat ischemic cardiovascular diseases. Recent evidence suggested that diabetic neuropathy (DN) is causally related to impaired angio-vasculogenesis in vasa nervorum and deficiency of angiogenic and neurotrophic factors. Accordingly, we sought to investigate whether DN can be ameliorated by local injection of BM-derived MNCs. Methods and Results: A severe peripheral neuropathy, characterized by significant slowing of motor nerve conduction velocities (MCV) developed 12 wks after the induction of diabetes with streptozotocin in Fisher rats (vs normal rats; 46.6±2.6 vs 32.0±2.5 m/s, P < 0.05). These rats were randomly assigned to MNC or saline injection groups (n = 9, each group) and received either 5x106 MNCs or saline intramuscularly around the sciatic nerves. In the MNC group, MCV were significantly improved within 4 wks after treatment (MNC vs Saline, 41.9±3.2 vs 32.7±2.8 m/s, P < 0.01). Microvascular circulation of sciatic nerve, measured by laser Doppler perfusion imaging was markedly increased only in the MNC group. Capillary density at 4 wks was significantly higher in the MNC group than in the saline group (68±5.9 vs 37±4.4 /cross section, P < 0.01). Robust engraftment of MNCs were observed in sciatic nerves, which sustained over 4 wks. A fraction of engrafted MNCs expressed endothelial markers suggestive of transdifferentiation into endothelial cells in the vasa nervorum. Intriguingly, a large number of the engrafted MNCs are following the course of vasa nervorum in close proximity. Real-time RT-PCR on sciatic nerves revealed that the expression of angio-neurotrophic factors were significantly increased in the MNC group compared to the saline group: VEGF (2.1 fold), FGF-2 (2.4), eNOS (18.1), Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (35.1), IGF-1 (25.5) (all P < 0.05). The protein levels were well correlated with mRNA expression levels. Conclusion: Local transplantation of BM-derived MNCs could improve experimental DN by augmenting neovascularization and increasing angiogenic and neurotrophic factors in peripheral nerves. These findings suggest that BM-MNC transplantation may represent a novel therapeutic option for treating DN.

Rodent stem cells demonstrated regenerative effects in diabetic neuropathy via improvement in nerve perfusion. As a pre-clinical step, we explored if human mobilized mononuclear cells (hMNC) would have the same effects in rats. hMNC were injected into Rt. hind-limb muscles of streptozotocin-induced diabetic nude rats, and the grafts were monitored using with MRI. After 4 weeks, the effects were compared with those in the vehicle-injected Lt. hind limbs. Nerve conduction, muscle perfusion and gene expression of sciatic nerves were assessed. Induction of diabetes decreased nerve function and expression of Mpz and Met in the sciatic nerves, which are related with myelination. hMNC injection significantly improved the amplitude of compound muscle action potentials along with muscle perfusion and sciatic nerve Mpz expression. On MRI, hypointense signals were observed for 4 weeks at the graft site, but their correlation with the presence of hMNC was detectable for only 1 week. To evaluate paracrine effects of hMNC, IMS32 cells were tested with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which had been reported as a myelination-related factor from stem cells. We could observe that HGF enhanced Mpz expression in the IMS32 cells. Because hMNC secreted HGF, IMS32 cells were co-cultured with hMNC, and the expression of Mpz increased along with morphologic maturation. The hMNC-induced Mpz expression was abrogated by treatment of anti-HGF. These results suggest that hMNC could improve diabetic neuropathy, possibly through enhancement of myelination as well as perfusion. According to in vitro studies, HGF was involved in the hMNC-induced myelination activity, at least in part.

Objective: Alteration in the basement membrane proteins maybe associated with diabetic neuropathy. Fibronectin is one of the most important components of peripheral nerves basement membrane. In this study we investigated the effects of insulin administration on prevention of alteration in fibronectin contents of sciatic nerve in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four wistar rats were divided into control, diabetic and diabetic with insulin treatment groups. Three months after diabetes induction, we measured blood glucose level, body weight and then expression of fibronectin in sciatic nerves of rats were evaluated by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemical study. Results: Intensity of fibronectin immunoreactivity in the perineurium and endoneurium of sciatic nerves significantly increased in diabetic without treatment group compared to control group (P-value< 0.001). Conclusion: This finding suggested that diabetic neuropathy resulted in increased of fibronectin contents in sciatic nerves of rats.
