Application of adipose tissue-derived stem cell therapy with a clinically relevant dose does not significantly affect atherosclerotic plaque characteristics in a streptozotocin-induced hyperglycaemia mouse model
Aims
Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces increased inflammation of atherosclerotic plaques, resulting in elevated plaque instability. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy was shown to decrease plaque size and increase stability in non-DM animal models. We now studied the effect of MSC therapy in a streptozotocin-induced hyperglycaemia mouse model using a clinically relevant dose of adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ASCs).
Methods
Hyperglycaemia was induced in male C57BL/6 ApoE−/− mice (n=24) via intraperitoneal streptozotocin (STZ) injection (0.05 mg/g bodyweight) for 5 consecutive days. 16 weeks after the first STZ injection, the mice received either 100,000 ASCs (n=9) or vehicle (n=14) intravenously. The effects of ASC treatment on the size and stability of aortic root atherosclerotic plaques were determined 4 weeks post-treatment via (immuno)histochemical analyses. Furthermore, plasma monocyte subsets within 3 days pre- and 3 days post-treatment, and 4 weeks post-treatment, were studied.
Results
ASC treatment did not significantly affect atherosclerotic plaque size or intra-plaque inflammation. Although ASC-treated mice had a higher percentage of intra-plaque fibrosis (42.5±3.3%) compared to vehicle-treated mice (37.6±6.8%, p=0.07), this did not reach significance. Additionally, although differences in the percentages of circulating pro- and anti-inflammatory monocytes were observed after ASC treatment compared to pre-treatment (p=0.005), their levels did not differ significantly at any time point compared to vehicle-treated mice.
Conclusions
ASC treatment with a clinically relevant dose did not significantly affect atherosclerotic plaque size or intra-plaque inflammation in a hyperglycaemia mouse model. Despite a borderline significant improvement in intraplaque fibrotic content, the potential of ASC treatment on atherosclerotic plaque stability in a diabetic environment remains to be determined.
