Introduction: Macrophage-derived exosomes have emerged as important mediators in cell-to-cell communication by influencing inflammatory signaling and the immune function. Hypothesis: We aimed to explore whether hyperglycemia can enhance intercellular communication between mature macrophages and hematopoietic progenitors via exosomes to promote inflammation and diabetic atherosclerosis. Methods: Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) from C57BL/6 mice were cultured with normal (5.5 mM) or high glucose concentrations (25 mM). Exosomes were isolated by cushioned-density gradient ultracentrifugation method followed by nanoparticle tracking and western blot analysis. Inflammatory properties of high glucose exosomes (BMDM-HG-exo) or normoglycemic exosomes (BMDM-NG-exo) were tested in vitro by exposing them to naïve BMDM. The capacity for BMDM-derived exosomes to alter systemic and vascular inflammation were next tested by infusing 25-30 weeks-old ApoE -/- mice fed a chow diet with exosomes three times a week, for four weeks. Results: Our data show that BMDM-HG-exo can stimulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines and generate reactive oxygen species in recipient cultured BMDM. Furthermore, our findings show that intraperitoneally injected exosomes distribute to numerous organs and tissues including the bone marrow and the spleen. HG-exo enhance the expansion of multipotent and lineage committed hematopoietic progenitors in the spleen, leading to an enhanced atherosclerotic progression. Conclusions: We identify that exosomes derived from cultured BMDM exposed to high glucose have the capacity to exert inflammatory signaling in vitro , and in vivo. Our findings suggest that exosomes produced by macrophages exposed to hyperglycemia could represent an unsuspected source of inflammation to accelerate atherosclerosis in diabetes.

Abstract A macrophage-derived inhibitor of early hematopoietic progenitors (colony-forming unit-spleen, CFU-A) called stem cell inhibitor was found to be identical to macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha). We investigated the effect of MIP-1 alpha on the earliest stem cells that sustain long-term hematopoiesis in vivo in a competitive bone marrow repopulation assay. Because long-term reconstituting (LTR) stem cells are normally quiescent, an in vivo model was first developed in which they are triggered to cycle. A first 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) injection was used to eliminate later progenitors, causing the LTR stem cells, which are normally resistant to 5-FU, to enter the cell cycle and become sensitive to a second 5-FU injection administered 5 days later. Human MIP-1 alpha administered from day 0 to 7 was unable to prevent the depletion of the LTR stem cells by the second 5-FU treatment, as observed on day 7 in this model, suggesting that the LTR stem cells were not prevented from being triggered into cycle despite the MIP-1 alpha treatment. However, the MIP-1 alpha protocol used here did substantially decrease the number of more mature hematopoietic progenitors (granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells [CFC], burst- forming unit-erythroid, CFCmulti, and preCFCmulti) recovered in the bone marrow shortly after a single 5-FU injection. In vitro, MIP-1 alpha had no inhibitory effect on the ability of these progenitors to form colonies. This study confirms the in vivo inhibitory effect of MIP- 1 alpha on subpopulations of hematopoietic progenitors that are activated in myelodepressed animals. However, MIP-1 alpha had no effect on the long-term reconstituting stem cells in vivo under conditions in which it effectively reduced all later progenitors.

Cooperation between in vitro exogenous prolactin (PRL), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and interleukin-3 (IL-3) at an early step of in vitro erythroid differentiation has been shown in a previous study. To gain more insight into the role of PRL in in vivo hematopoiesis, we have now addressed the involvement of endogenous PRL in the growth of hematopoietic progenitors in a bone marrow (BM) stroma environment. The possible modulation of local PRL production by the inflammatory mediator platelet-activating factor (PAF), which is known to be produced by BM cells and to regulate pituitary PRL release, has also been evaluated. Development of burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) colonies from CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors cultured on a BM stroma cells (BMSC) layer was slightly, but significantly, reduced in the presence of an antihuman PRL antibody. Pretreatment of BMSC with PAF increased the BFU-E colony efficiency of cocultured CD34+ cells, and this effect was completely abrogated by the antiserum. PAF-modulated release of PRL by BMSC was confirmed by an enzyme-linked-immunospot (Elispot) technique. In addition, immunoprecipitation and Western blotting experiments showed two immunoreactive products in the BMSC culture medium. These corresponded to the nonglycosylated (23 kD) and glycosylated (25.5 kD) forms of pituitary PRL that are also expressed by the B-lymphoblastoid cell line IM9-P3. Specific increase of the nonglycosylated form and decrease of the glycosylated form was observed after PAF treatment. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of reverse transcribed RNA using PRL-specific primers showed the presence of PRL message in BMSC and IM9-P3 cells. In situ hybridization experiments with a rat PRL cDNA probe cross-reacting with human PRL mRNA confirmed its presence in a small fraction of unstimulated BMSC and in the majority of PAF-stimulated BMSC. The enhancing effect of PAF on PRL-mediated colony formation, PRL release, and mRNA activation was counteracted by pretreating BMSC with the PAF-receptor (R) antagonist WEB 2170. Lastly, responsiveness of BMSC to PAF was substantiated by the presence of the PAF-R mRNA on these cells.

We previously showed that mice lacking macrophage LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) undergo accelerated lesion formation due to increased apoptosis, decreased efferocytosis, and enhanced macrophage transformation into the inflammatory M1 phenotype. In vitro, LRP1-deficient macrophages (MΦLRP1 -/- ) show enhanced plasticity with exaggerated polarization towards either the inflammatory M1- or the anti-inflammatory M2-phenotype depending on the stimulant (LPS or IL-4, respectively). During atherosclerosis regression, the M2:M1 macrophage ratio increases as lesion M1 macrophages egress and inflammation resolves. Thus, we hypothesize that atherosclerosis regression is accelerated in MΦLRP1 -/- mice via enhanced macrophage M2 polarization and CCR7-dependent M1 macrophage egress. ApoE-/- mice on high fat diet for 12 weeks were reconstituted with bone marrow from wildtype (WT) or MΦLRP1 -/- mice and then placed on chow diet for 8 weeks. In this model, apoE is reintroduced into circulation to correct the hyperlipidemia and induce regression of atherosclerotic lesions. A cohort of apoE -/- mice reconstituted with apoE -/- bone marrow served as baseline controls. Lesions in both WT and MΦLRP1 -/- mice regressed relative to controls (11% and 22%, respectively; p<0.05), but MΦLRP1 -/- lesions were 13% smaller than those of WT mice (p<0.05). LRP1 deletion increased M2 transformation of macrophages and a higher M2:M1 macrophage ratio (p<0.01) in the plaque. MΦLRP1 -/- lesions contained 36% fewer M1 macrophages compared to WT (p<0.01). In vivo studies of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) revealed that MΦLRP1 -/- have a 1.4-fold higher RCT compared to WT mice (p<0.01). MΦLRP1 -/- lesions contained 2.5-fold more CCR7 + macrophages relative to WT lesions (p<0.01), and in our in vivo egress assay 4.6-fold more CCR7 + macrophages were found in mediastinal lymph nodes. In vitro , M1-differentiated MΦLRP1 -/- macrophages expressed 1.6-fold higher Ccr7 mRNA compared to WT controls (p<0.01). Thus, the absence of macrophage LRP1 accelerates atherosclerosis regression due to enhanced transformation of macrophages into an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, increased cholesterol efflux, and increased CCR7-driven egress of M1 macrophages from lesions.

Interleukin (IL)-12 synergizes with other cytokines to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of early hematopoietic progenitors in vitro. However, in vivo administration of IL-12 decreases peripheral blood counts and bone marrow hematopoiesis. Here, we used interferon (IFN) gamma receptor-deficient (IFN gamma R-/-) mice to investigate whether the in vivo inhibition of hematopoiesis by IL-12 is indirectly mediated by IL-12-induced IFN-gamma. IL-12 administered for 4 d (1 microgram/mouse per day) resulted in lower peripheral blood counts and a 2-fold decrease in bone marrow cellularity in wild-type mice, but not in IFN gamma R-/- mice. Bone marrow hematopoietic progenitors were decreased after IL-12 treatment in wild-type mice, but rather increased in IFN gamma R-/- mice. Splenic cellularity was 2.3-fold higher after IL-12 administration in wild-type mice, largely due to natural killer (NK) cell and macrophage infiltration together with some extramedullary hematopoiesis. In IFN gamma R-/- mice, spleen cellularity was less increased, there were fewer infiltrating NK cells, but a strong extramedullary hematopoiesis. Thus, alterations mediated by IL-12-induced IFN-gamma include reduction in bone marrow cellularity and hematopoietic progenitors, as well as pronounced splenomegaly, largely caused by NK cell infiltration. In the absence of IFN-gamma signaling, IL-12 promotes hematopoiesis, consistent with its in vitro activities.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) stimulates the proliferation and restricted differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors into neutrophils. To clarify the effects of G-CSF on hematopoietic progenitors, we generated transgenic (Tg) mice that had ubiquitous expression of the human G-CSF receptor (hG-CSFR). In clonal cultures of bone marrow and spleen cells obtained from these mice, hG-CSF supported the growth of myelocytic as well as megakaryocytic, mast cell, mixed, and blast cell colonies. Single-cell cultures of lineage-negative (Lin−)c-Kit+Sca-1+ or Sca-1− cells obtained from the Tg mice confirmed the direct effects of hG-CSF on the proliferation and differentiation of various progenitors. hG-CSF also had stimulatory effects on the formation of blast cell colonies in cultures using 5-fluorouracil–resistant hematopoietic progenitors and clone-sorted Lin−c-Kit+Sca-1+ primitive hematopoietic cells. These colonies contained different progenitors in proportions similar to those obtained when mouse interleukin-3 was used in place of hG-CSF. Administration of hG-CSF to Tg mice led to significant increases in spleen colony-forming and mixed/blast cell colony-forming cells in bone marrow and spleen, but did not alter the proportion of myeloid progenitors in total clonogenic cells. These results show that, when functional G-CSFR is present on the cell surface, hG-CSF stimulates the development of primitive multipotential progenitors both in vitro and in vivo, but does not induce exclusive commitment to the myeloid lineage.
