Popis: The present study aimed to further investigate the effects of high glucose on the function of circulating fibrocytes and its underlying mechanisms. The total peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from normal glucose tolerance patients and type 2 diabetic mellitus patients. Circulating fibrocytes were stimulated with different glucose concentrations for different time periods (24, 48 and 72 h). Cell proliferation was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was detected by western blotting. The expression of COL-I was detected by flow cytometry. The apoptotic bodies of cells were detected by fluorescence microscopy after Hoechst33258 staining. The invasive and migration abilities of fibrocytes were detected by Transwell chamber assay. Secretion of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) was measured by ELISA. The circulating fibrocytes showed a typical spindle-shape and were double-positive for cluster of differentiation 45 (green) and COL-I (red). Compared with the 5.5 mmol/l glucose group, a high glucose concentration significantly promoted the proliferation of circulating fibrocytes and showed the most significant effects at 30 mmol/l after treatment for 48 h. AMD3100 showed no effects on the proliferation of circulating fibrocytes. Flow cytometry revealed that 30 mmol/l glucose significantly promoted the expression of COL-I vs. 5.5 mmol/l glucose group (P0.05). Western blotting revealed that the expression of CTGF was decreased significantly by AMD3100 pretreatment (P0.05). High glucose stimulated the expressions of CTGF and COL-I, and promoted migration of circulating fibrocytes via the CXC chemokine receptor 4/SDF-1 axis.
