Popis: Myeloid angiogenic cells (MACs) promote revascularization through the paracrine release of angiogenic factors and have been harnessed as therapeutic cells for many ischemic diseases. However, their pro-angiogenic properties have been suggested to be diminished in diabetes. This study investigates how the diabetic milieu affects the immunophenotype and function of MACs; both MACs isolated from diabetic conditions, and healthy cells exposed to a diabetic environment to determine the potential of MACs as a cell therapy for diabetic-related ischaemia. MACs were isolated from human peripheral blood and characterized alongside pro-inflammatory macrophages M (LPS+IFNγ) and pro-angiogenic macrophages M (IL4). Functional changes in MACs in response to high-D-glucose were assessed using an in vitro 3D-tubulogenesis assay. Phenotypic changes were determined by gene and protein expression analysis. Additionally, MACs from type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients and corresponding controls were isolated and characterized. Our evidence demonstrates MACs identity as a distinct macrophage subtype that shares M2 pro-angiogenic characteristics, but can be distinguished by CD163hi expression. High-D-glucose treatment significantly reduced MACs pro-angiogenic capacity, which was associated with a significant increase in IL1β mRNA and protein expression. Inhibition of IL1β abrogated the anti-angiogenic effect induced by high-D-glucose. IL1β was also significantly up-regulated in MACs isolated from T1D patients with microvascular complications compared to T1D patients without microvascular complications or non-diabetic volunteers. This study demonstrates that Type 1 diabetes and diabetic-like conditions impair the pro-angiogenic and therefore regenerative capacity of MACs, and this response is mediated by IL-1β.
