摘要
Background: Bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a dynamic role in maintaining the structure and function of blood vessels. But how these cells maintain their growth and angiogenic capacity under bone marrow hypoxic niche is still unclear. This study aims to explore the mechanisms from a perspective of cellular metabolism. Methods: XFe96 Extracellular Flux Analyzer was used to analyze the metabolic status of EPCs. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to trace the carbon movement of C-13-labeled glucose and glutamine under 1 % O-2 (hypoxia) and similar to 20 % O-2 (normoxia). Moreover, RNA interference, targeting isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) and IDH2, was used to inhibit the reverse tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and analyze metabolic changes via isotope tracing as well as changes in cell growth and angiogenic potential under hypoxia. The therapeutic potential of EPCs under hypoxia was investigated in the ischemic hindlimb model. Results: Compared with normoxic cells, hypoxic cells showed increased glycolysis and decreased mitochondrial respiration. Isotope metabolic tracing revealed that under hypoxia, the forward TCA cycle was decreased and the reverse TCA cycle was enhanced, mediating the conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG) into isocitrate/citrate, and de novo lipid synthesis was promoted. Downregulation of IDH1 or IDH2 under hypoxia suppressed the reverse TCA cycle, attenuated de novo lipid synthesis (DNL), elevated alpha-KG levels, and decreased the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), eventually inhibiting the growth and angiogenic capacity of EPCs. Importantly, the transplantation of hypoxia-cultured EPCs in a mouse model of limb ischemia promoted new blood vessel regeneration and blood supply recovery in the ischemic area better than the transplantation of normoxia-cultured EPCs. Conclusions: Under hypoxia, the IDH1- and IDH2-mediated reverse TCA cycle promotes glutamine-derived de novo lipogenesis and stabilizes the expression of alpha-KG and HIF-1 alpha, thereby enhancing the growth and angiogenic capacity of EPCs.
