Abstract Bone marrow cytotoxicity of 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine (AZT), an anti- human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) drug, has been attributed to deoxyribonucleotide pool perturbations that might result in impaired DNA synthesis in normal bone marrow elements. We examined, in vitro, the effect of high, but clinically achievable and nontoxic, concentrations of 2′-deoxycytidine (dCyd) (greater than or equal to 100 mumol/L) on high-dose AZT mediated growth inhibition and intracellular biochemical perturbations in normal bone marrow progenitor cells. Colony formation by bone marrow progenitor cells in semisolid medium was significantly protected by dCyd against the inhibitory effects of co-administered, high concentrations of AZT (10 mumol/L). Also, dCyd significantly corrected AZT mediated depletion of intracellular thymidine triphosphate (dTTP) and dCyd triphosphate (dCTP) levels in normal bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC). Moreover, dCyd reduced the intracellular accumulation of AZT triphosphate (AZT-TP) and its DNA incorporation in BMMC. In contrast, co-administration of dCyd (100 mumol/L to 1 mmol/L) did not reverse AZT (10 mumol/L) mediated suppression of HIV infectivity in HUT-102 cells in culture, although a partial reduction in intracellular AZT-TP pools and its DNA incorporation as well as a correction of AZT mediated depletion of dTTP and dCTP pools was observed in these cells. These studies suggest that dCyd at high concentrations might ameliorate the bone marrow cytotoxicity of high-dose AZT without impairing its anti-HIV effect.

Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7)/Mas receptor (MasR) pathway accelerates vascular repair in ischemic conditions partly by stimulating the mobilization of vascular reparative bone marrow progenitor cells (BMPCs) into blood circulation. This study tested if the endogenous MasR expression is required for the mobilization of BMPCs in response to ischemic injury. Hind limb ischemia (HLI) was induced in wild type (WT) or MasR knock out mice (MasR-KO) (in C57Bl/6J background). BMPCs in the blood circulation were quantitated by flow cytometric enumeration of Lineage - , Sca-1 + and cKit + (LSK) cells in peripheral blood or by colony forming unit (CFU) assay. Subcutaneous osmotic pumps were used for continuous infusion of Ang-(1-7) at the rate of 1 μg/kg/min for four weeks. In vitro migration of LSK cells in response to hypoxia-regulated factors, stromal-derived factor (SDF) or by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were determined. In WT mice, HLI stimulated mobilization of LSK cells that reached maximum by day 2 (110±11 cells/mL blood, n=6). Ang-(1-7)-treatment potentiated the peak mobilization (206±24 cells/mL blood, n=8, P<0.01 compared to the untreated). MasR-KO mice have reduced number of circulating LSKs (12±3 vs 43±9 per mL blood in WT, P<0.01, n=5) (CFUs/mL blood 28±5 vs 54±8 in WT, P<0.05, n=5). In MasR-KO mice, HLI did not induce mobilization, and blood flow recovery post-HLI was lower compared to WT (52±4% vs 89±6% in WT, P<0.001, n=5), both of which were not improved by treatment with Ang-(1-7). Number of bone marrow-resident LSK cells was higher in MasR-KO mice compared to WT. Migration induced by SDF (84±6% vs 160±8% in WT, P<0.001, n=5) or VEGF (97±4% vs 146±5% in WT, P<0.001, n=4) was decreased in MasR-KO. These results suggest that MasR deficiency causes impaired mobilization of BMPCs likely by decreasing their sensitivity to hypoxia-regulated factors. Therefore endogenous MasR expression is essential for ischemia-dependent mobilization of BMPCs.
