摘要: | Hyperglycemia-induced myelopoiesis and atherosclerotic progression occur in mice with type I diabetes. However, less is known about the effects of metabolites on myelopoesis in type 2 diabetes. Here, we use fluorescence-activated cell sorting to analyze the proliferation of granulocyte/monocyte progenitors (GMP) in db/db mice. Using targeted metabolomics, we identify an increase in inosine monophosphate (IMP) in GMP cells of 24-week-old mice. We show that IMP treatment stimulates cKit expression, ribosomal S6 activation, GMP proliferation, and Gr-1+ granulocyte production in vitro. IMP activates pAkt in non-GMP cells. In vivo, using an established murine acute pancreatitis (AP) model, administration of IMP-treated bone marrow cells enhances the severity of AP. This effect is abolished in the presence of a pAkt inhibitor. Targeted metabolomics show that plasma levels of guanosine monophosphate are significantly higher in diabetic patients with AP. These findings provid a potential therapeutic target for the control of vascular complications in diabetes. |
