Radio-detoxified LPS alters bone marrow-derived extracellular vesicles and endothelial progenitor cells
2019
Stem cell-based therapies raise hope for cell replacement and provide opportunity for cardiac regenerative medicine and tumor therapy.
Extracellular vesiclesare a membrane-enclosed intercellular delivery system with the potential to improve the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment of a variety of disorders. As the incidence of breast cancer continues to rise, radiotherapy has emerged as a leading treatment modality. Radiotherapy also increases the risk of coronary heart disease and cardiac mortality. In a chest-irradiated mouse model of cardiac injury, we investigated the effects of local irradiation. We found an increased lethality after 16 Gy irradiation. Importantly, radio-detoxified LPS (RD-LPS) treatment prolonged the survival significantly. By flow cytometry, we demonstrated that upon administration of RD-LPS, the number of
bone marrow-derived
endothelial progenitor cellsincreased in the
bone marrowand, in particular, in the circulation. Furthermore, mass spectrometry analysis showed that RD-LPS altered the proteomic composition of
bone marrowcell-derived small
extracellular vesicles(sEVs). RD-LPS treatment increased interferon-induced transmembrane protein-3 (IFITM3) expression markedly both in
bone marrowcells and in
bone marrowcell-derived small
extracellular vesicles. This is the first study to demonstrate that radio-detoxified LPS treatment induces an increase of circulating
endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs) in parallel with a reduced radiotherapy-related mortality. While the total number of
bone marrow-derived
extracellular vesicleswas significantly increased 24 h after treatment in the RD-LPS groups, the number of
endothelial progenitor cellswas reduced in animals injected with GW4896 (a chemical inhibitor of
exosomebiogenesis) as compared with controls. In contrast to these in vivo results, in vitro experiments did not support the effect of sEVs on EPCs. Our data raise the intriguing possibility that IFITM3 may serve as a marker of the radio-detoxified LPS treatment.
