Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents a unique myocardial disease originating from diabetic metabolic disturbances that is characterized by myocardial fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction. While recent research regarding the pathogenesis and treatment of DCM has focused primarily on myocardial cells, nonmyocardial cells-including fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), endothelial cells (ECs), and immune cells-also contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of DCM. Among various therapeutic targets, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has been identified as a promising agent because of its cardioprotective effects that extend to nonmyocardial cells. In this review, we aim to elucidate the role of nonmyocardial cells in DCM and underscore the potential of FGF21 as a therapeutic strategy for these cells.

Impact of inflammation and anti-inflammatory modalities on diabetic cardiomyopathy healing: From fundamental research to therapy. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 123:110747. [PMID: 37586299 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a prevalent cardiovascular complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. However, treatment options for DCM remain limited. For decades, a substantial body of evidence has suggested that the inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of DCM. Notably, DCM is closely associated with alterations in inflammatory cells, exerting direct effects on major resident cells such as cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. These cellular changes subsequently contribute to the development of DCM. This article comprehensively analyzes cellular, animal, and human studies to summarize the latest insights into the impact of inflammation on DCM. Furthermore, the potential therapeutic effects of current anti-inflammatory drugs in the management of DCM are also taken into consideration. The ultimate goal of this work is to consolidate the existing literature on the inflammatory processes underlying DCM, providing clinicians with the necessary knowledge and tools to adopt a more efficient and evidence-based approach to managing this condition.

Abstract
Heart Failure (HF) has been one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Though its latent mechanism and therapeutic manipulation are updated and developed ceaselessly, there remain great gaps in the cognition of heart failure. High morbidity and readmission rates among HF patients are waiting to be addressed. Recent studies have found that myocardial energy metabolism was closely related to heart failure, in which substrate utilization, as well as intermediate metabolism disorders, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, might underlie systolic dysfunction and progression of HF. This article centers on the changes and counteraction of cardiac energy metabolism in the failing heart. Therefore, targeting impaired energy provision is of great potential in the treatment of HF. And shifting the objective from traditional neurohormones to improving the cellular environment is expected to further optimize the management of HF.

Abstract
AIMS The DCM Support trial (NCT03572660) uses a percutaneous circulatory support device (Impella CP, Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA) to improve the safety of an intracoronary cell infusion procedure in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and a severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS AND RESULTS DCM Support is a single-site, single-arm Phase II trial enrolling 20 symptomatic DCM patients with an LVEF ≤ 35% despite optimal medical and device therapy. After 5 days of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor therapy and a subsequent bone marrow aspiration, patients undergo an intracoronary infusion of autologous bone-marrow-derived mononuclear cells. The Impella CP device is used to provide haemodynamic support during the infusion procedure. The trial's primary endpoint is change in LVEF from baseline at 3 months. Secondary efficacy endpoints are change in LVEF from baseline at 12 months, and change in exercise capacity, New York Heart Association class, quality of life, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels from baseline at 3 and 12 months. Safety endpoints include procedural safety and major adverse cardiac events at 3 and 12 months. CONCLUSIONS This is the first trial to assess the safety and efficacy of cytokine and autologous intracoronary cell therapy with a procedural circulatory support device for patients with severe left ventricular impairment. This novel combination may allow us to target a patient population most at need of this therapy.

Abstract
Introduction This is the first reported case of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and severely impaired left ventricular function to receive a combined treatment of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor therapy and an intracoronary delivery of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells with percutaneous circulatory assistance (the Impella CP device; Abiomed, Danvers, MA). Main symptoms and outcome Three months post-treatment, the gentleman in his early 70s demonstrated an improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (13–17%) and a reduction in New York Heart Association class from III to class I. There was also an improvement in his 6-minute walk test (147–357 meters), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide level (14,099–7,129 ng/l) and quality of life scores. There were no safety concerns during the treatment or follow-up. Conclusion This case report suggests combined cell and cytokine therapy with adjunctive circulatory support could be a safe and promising treatment for patients with DCM and severely reduced ejection fraction.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HPCs) donors mobilized by granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) can develop various signs and symptoms. proBNP (pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) is a serum marker of heart failure. A donor who developed severe adverse reactions after G-CSF mobilization was found to have high serum proBNP levels. We followed additional donors who received identical mobilization regimen to investigate the prevalence of this phenomenon. Eighteen healthy donors underwent a mobilization regimen of 10 μg/Kg G-CSF daily for 5 days prior to allogeneic HPC collection using Spectra Optia between January 2016 and February 2017 were included in this study. Serum proBNP levels were measured before and after G-CSF stimulation and immediately after apheresis. Apheresis collection parameters and other laboratory results were also reviewed. The majority of donors (86.7%) had post-G-CSF elevation of serum proBNP. Seven of those had elevated proBNP above upper normal range (124 pg/ml). The subgroup of donors with normal proBNP is younger (median age of 37 vs 42 years), with majority being male (90.9% vs 28.6%) and with smaller processed blood volume (2.2 vs 3 × total blood volume). This case series demonstrates an increase of serum proBNP can be common in HPC donors stimulated with 5 days of 10 mcg/kg G-CSF. This is an adverse reaction that has not been described before. The temporary elevation of proBNP in these donors is not associated with ventricular dysfunction of the heart. The risk factors for marked elevation of proBNP post-G-CSF should be further investigated.

Abstract
Diabetes causes disorders in the performance of endothelial progenitor cells, and obesity and vitamin D deficiency are associated with endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. This case-control study investigated the relationship between serum CD34 antigen and vitamin D levels and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. The results showed that CD34 has a significant inverse relationship with BMI, A1C, fasting blood glucose, insulin resistance, and insulin levels and has a significant direct relationship with vitamin D levels. Both CD34 and vitamin D were found to be significantly associated with type 2 diabetes. The association between reduced CD34 and vitamin D levels with type 2 diabetes and increased insulin resistance suggests that these parameters may be helpful in assessing diabetes and predicting its complications.

Abstract
The integrity of the endothelial barrier is required to maintain vascular homeostasis and fluid balance between the circulatory system and surrounding tissues and to prevent the development of vascular disease. However, the origin of the newly developed endothelial cells is still controversial. Stem and progenitor cells have the potential to differentiate into endothelial cell lines and stimulate vascular regeneration in a paracrine/autocrine fashion. The one source of new endothelial cells was believed to come from the bone marrow, which was challenged by the recent findings. By administration of new techniques, including genetic cell lineage tracing and single cell RNA sequencing, more solid data were obtained that support the concept of stem/progenitor cells for regenerating damaged endothelium. Specifically, it was found that tissue resident endothelial progenitors located in the vessel wall were crucial for endothelial repair. In this review, we summarized the latest advances in stem and progenitor cell research in endothelial regeneration through findings from animal models and discussed clinical data to indicate the future direction of stem cell therapy.

Abstract
Background Therapy with mesenchymal stem cells remains a promising but challenging approach to critical limb ischemia in diabetes because of the dismal cell survival. Methods and Results Critical limb ischemia in type 2 diabetes mouse model was used to explore the impact of diabetic limb ischemia on the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (bMSCs). Inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species was achieved with concomitant overexpression of superoxide dismutase (SOD)‐1 and glutathione peroxidase‐1 in the transplanted bMSCs, and extracellular reactive oxygen species was attenuated using SOD‐3 overexpression and N‐acetylcysteine treatment. In vivo optical fluorescence imaging and laser Doppler perfusion imaging were used to track cell retention and determine blood flow in diabetic ischemic limb, respectively. Survival of the transplanted bMSCs was significantly decreased in diabetic ischemic limb compared with the control. In vitro study indicated that advanced glycation end products, not high glucose, significantly decreased the proliferation of bMSCs and increased their apoptosis associated with increased reactive oxygen species production and selective reduction of SOD‐1 and SOD‐3. In vivo study demonstrated that concomitant overexpression of SOD‐1, SOD‐3, and glutathione peroxidase‐1, or host treatment with N‐acetylcysteine, significantly enhanced in vivo survival of transplanted bMSCs, and improved critical limb ischemia in diabetic mice. Combination of triple antioxidant enzyme overexpression in bMSCs with host N‐acetylcysteine treatment further improved bMSC survival with enhanced circulatory and functional recovery from diabetic critical limb ischemia. Conclusions Simultaneous suppression of reactive oxygen species from transplanted bMSCs and host tissue could additively enhance bMSC survival in diabetic ischemic limb with increased therapeutic efficacy in diabetes.

Abstract
The human adult heart consists of approximately four billion cardiomyocytes, which do not possess self-renewal abilities. Severe myocardial infarction and dilated cardiomyopathy result in the loss of more than a billion cardiomyocytes. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can differentiate into various types of cells. Due to this ability, these cells could potentially serve as a new resource for cell therapy. Many studies have utilized cardiomyocytes derived from iPSCs for myocardial regeneration therapy. To obtain large number of cardiomyocytes for transplantation, we need to develop effective methods that would allow us to dissociate multiple cardiomyocyte aggregates simultaneously. Here, we describe a method to efficiently dissociate large number of iPSC-derived cardiomyocyte aggregates.

Abstract
CD34+ cells are multipotent hematopoietic stem cells also known as endothelial progenitor cells and are useful in regenerative medicine. Naturally, these cells are mobilized from the bone marrow into peripheral circulation in response to ischemic tissue injury. CD34+ cells are known for their high proliferative and differentiation capacities that play a crucial role in the repair process of myocardial damage. They have an important paracrine activity in secreting factors to stimulate vasculogenesis, reduce endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes apoptosis, remodel extracellular matrix and activate additional progenitor cells. Once they migrate to the target site, they enhance angiogenesis, neovascularization and tissue regeneration. Several trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of CD34+ cell therapy in different settings, such as peripheral limb ischemia, stroke and cardiovascular disease. Herein, we review the potential utility of CD34+ cell transplantation in acute myocardial infarction, refractory angina and ischemic heart failure.

Abstract
CD34+ cells are haematopoietic stem cells used therapeutically in patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy due to their regenerative potential and ability to restore the haematopoietic system. In animal models, CD34+ cells have been associated with therapeutic angiogenesis in response to ischaemia. Several trials have shown the potential safety and efficacy of CD34+ cell delivery in various cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, Phase III trials have now begun to explore the potential role of CD34+ cells in treatment of both myocardial and peripheral ischaemia. CD34+ cells have been shown to be safe and well-tolerated in the acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, and angina models. Several studies have suggested potential benefit of CD34+ cell therapy in patients with coronary microvascular disease as well. In this review, we will discuss the therapeutic potential of CD34+ cells, and describe the pertinent trials that have used autologous CD34+ cells in no-options refractory angina, AMI, and heart failure. Lastly, we will review the potential utility of autologous CD34+ cells in coronary endothelial and microvascular dysfunction.

Abstract
Diabetes increases the risk for ischemic vascular diseases, which is further elevated in older adults. Bone marrow-derived hematopoietic CD34+ stem/progenitor cells have the potential of revascularization; however, diabetes attenuates vasoreparative functions. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the vasoprotective enzyme of renin-angiotensin system in contrast with the canonical angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). The present study tested the hypothesis that diabetic dysfunction is associated with ACE2/ACE imbalance in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and that increasing ACE2 expression would restore reparative functions. Blood samples from male and female diabetic (n=71) or nondiabetic (n=62) individuals were obtained and CD34+ cells were enumerated by flow cytometry. ACE and ACE2 enzyme activities were determined in cell lysates. Lentiviral (LV) approach was used to increase the expression of soluble ACE2 protein. Cells from diabetic older adults (DB) or nondiabetic individuals (Control) were evaluated for their ability to stimulate revascularization in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia (HLI). DB cells attenuated the recovery of blood flow to ischemic areas in nondiabetic mice compared with that observed with Control cells. Administration of DB cells modified with LV-ACE2 resulted in complete restoration of blood flow. HLI in diabetic mice resulted in poor recovery with amputations, which was not reversed by either Control or DB cells. LV-ACE2 modification of Control or DB cells resulted in blood flow recovery in diabetic mice. In vitro treatment with Ang-(1-7) modified paracrine profile in diabetic CD34+ cells. The present study suggests that vasoreparative dysfunction in CD34+ cells from diabetic older adults is associated with ACE2/ACE imbalance and that increased ACE2 expression enhances the revascularization potential.

Abstract
Heart failure is a life-threatening condition that affects millions worldwide and is only expected to get worse with an ageing population. Current treatment regimens rely on medical therapy and heart transplantation as a last resort. Stem cells have been undergoing clinical trials worldwide as a hope for a new and safe clinical treatment. Skeletal myoblasts and bone marrow-derived stem cells are two types of stem cells being tested. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of these two types of stem cells for heart failure therapy. Data were searched in PubMed using both regular and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) keywords (stem cells, therapy, heart failure) and then filtered using inclusion/exclusion criteria (language, species, publication date, and age). In total, 31 research articles were reviewed (14 clinical trials, four randomized control trials, nine review articles, one case report, one comparative study, one systematic review, and one categorized as a systematic review and meta-analysis). Both skeletal myoblasts and bone marrow-derived stem cells showed mixed results in improving left ventricular ejection fraction in heart failure patients in the majority of studies. Larger studies need to be done to further investigate the efficacy of stem cells as a therapy for heart failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical safety profile of transendocardial injection catheters (TIC) reported in the published literature. BACKGROUND Transendocardial delivery is a minimally invasive approach to deliver potential therapeutic agents directly into the myocardium. The rate of adverse events across TIC is uncertain. METHODS A systematic search was performed for trial publications using TIC. Procedure-associated adverse event data were abstracted, pooled and compared across catheters for active treatment and placebo injected patients. The transendocardial injection associated serious adverse events (TEI-SAE) was defined as the composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke or transient ischemic attack within 30 days and cardiac perforation causing death or requiring evacuation, serious intraprocedural arrhythmias and serious coronary artery or peripheral vascular complications. RESULTS The search identified 4 TIC systems: a helical needle (HN), an electro-anatomically tracked straight needle (EAM-SN), a straight needle without tracking elements (SN), and a curved needle (CN). Of 1799 patients who underwent transendocardial injections, the combined TEI-SAE was 3.4% across all catheters, and 1.1%, 3.3%, 7.1%, and 8.3% for HN, EAM-SN, SN and CN, respectively. However, TIC procedure duration and post procedural cardiac biomarker levels were reported in only 24% and 36% of published trials, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Transendocardial injection is associated with varied TEI-SAE but the data are very limited. The HN catheter appeared to be associated with lower TEI-SAE, versus other catheters. Procedure duration and post procedure cardiac biomarker levels were under-reported. Clearly, standardized, procedure-related event reporting for trials involving transcatheter delivery would improve our understanding of complications across different systems.

Abstract
FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21) is a regulator of metabolism and performs an important role in glucose and lipid metabolism and the maintenance of energy balance. FGF21 is principally expressed in the liver, but it can also be found in the pancreas, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. It is known that levels of serum FGF21 are significantly elevated in obese, insulin-resistant patients, and those with metabolic syndrome. Elevated levels of FGF21 in serum during the early stages of various metabolic diseases are considered a compensatory response by the organism. Therefore, FGF21 is considered a hormone in response to stress and an early diagnostic marker of disease. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a special type of cardiac complication, characterized as a chronic myocardial disorder caused by diabetes. The pathological process includes increased oxidative stress, energy metabolism in myocardial cells, an inflammatory response, and myocardial cell apoptosis. A growing body of evidence suggests that FGF21 has the potential to be an effective drug for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Here, we review recent progress on the characteristics of FGF21 in its protective role, especially in pathological processes such as suppressing apoptosis in the myocardium, reducing inflammation in cardiomyocytes, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting fatty acid oxidation. In addition, we explore the possibility that diabetic cardiomyopathy can be delayed through the application of FGF21, providing possible therapeutic targets of the disease.

Abstract
Patients have an ongoing unmet need for effective therapies that reverse the cellular and functional damage associated with heart damage and disease. The discovery that ~1%-2% of adult cardiomyocytes turn over per year provided the impetus for treatments that stimulate endogenous repair mechanisms that augment this rate. Preclinical and clinical studies provide evidence that cell-based therapy meets these therapeutic criteria. Recent and ongoing studies are focused on determining which cell type(s) works best for specific patient population(s) and the mechanism(s) by which these cells promote repair. Here we review clinical and preclinical stem cell studies and anticipate future directions of regenerative medicine for heart disease.

Abstract
Stem cell transplantation holds great promise as a potential treatment for currently incurable retinal degenerative diseases that cause poor vision and blindness. Recently, safety data have emerged from several Phase I/II clinical trials of retinal stem cell transplantation. These clinical trials, usually run in partnership with academic institutions, are based on sound preclinical studies and are focused on patient safety. However, reports of serious adverse events arising from cell therapy in other poorly regulated centers have now emerged in the lay and scientific press. While progress in stem cell research for blindness has been greeted with great enthusiasm by patients, scientists, doctors and industry alike, these adverse events have raised concerns about the safety of retinal stem cell transplantation and whether patients are truly protected from undue harm. The aim of this review is to summarize and appraise the safety of human retinal stem cell transplantation in the context of its potential to be developed into an effective treatment for retinal degenerative diseases.

Abstract
Given the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease worldwide and the limited therapeutic options for severe heart failure, novel technologies that harness the regenerative capacity of the heart are sorely needed. The therapeutic use of stem cells has the potential to reverse myocardial injury and improve cardiac function, in contrast to most current medical therapies that only mitigate heart failure symptoms. Nearly 2 decades and >200 trials for cardiovascular disease have revealed that most cell types are safe; however, their efficacy remains controversial, limiting the transition of this therapy from investigation to practice. Lessons learned from these initial studies are driving the design of new clinical trials; higher fidelity of cell isolation techniques, standardization of conditions, more consistent use of state of the art measurement techniques, and assessment of multiple end points to garner insights into the efficacy of stem cells. Translation to clinical trials has almost outpaced our mechanistic understanding, and individual patient factors likely play a large role in stem cell efficacy. Therefore, careful analysis of dosing, delivery methods, and the ideal patient populations is necessary to translate cell therapy from research to practice. We are at a pivotal stage in the field in which information from many relatively small clinical trials must guide carefully executed efficacy trials. Larger efficacy trials are being launched to answer questions about older, first-generation stem cell therapeutics, while novel, second-generation products are being introduced into the clinical realm. This review critically examines the current state of clinical research on cell-based therapies for cardiovascular disease, highlighting the controversies in the field, improvements in clinical trial design, and the application of exciting new cell products.

Abstract
Cell therapy has received significant attention as a novel therapeutic approach to restore cardiac function after injury. CD34-positive (CD34+) stem cells have been investigated for their ability to promote angiogenesis and contribute to the prevention of remodelling after infarct. However, there are significant differences between murine and human CD34+ cells; understanding these differences might benefit the therapeutic use of these cells. Herein we discuss the function of the CD34 cell and highlight the similarities and differences between murine and human CD34 cell function, which might explain some of the differences between the animal and human evolutions. We also summarize the studies that report the application of murine and human CD34+ cells in preclinical studies and clinical trials and current limitations with the application of cell therapy for cardiac repair. Finally, to overcome these limitations we discuss the application of novel humanized rodent models that can bridge the gap between preclinical and clinical studies as well as rejuvenation strategies for improving the quality of old CD34+ cells for future clinical trials of autologous cell transplantation.

Abstract
Heart failure is a global epidemic that drastically cuts short longevity and compromises quality of life. Approximately 6 million Americans ≥20 years of age carry a diagnosis of heart failure. Worldwide, about 40 million adults are affected. The treatment of HF depends on the etiology. If left untreated it rapidly progresses and compromises quality of life. One of the newer technologies still in its infancy is stem cell therapy for heart failure. This review attempts to highlight the clinical studies done in ischemic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy and restrictive cardiomyopathy. A combined approach of simultaneous revascularization and stem cell therapy appears to produce maximum benefit in ischemic cardiomyopathy. Treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy with stem cells also holds promise but needs more definition with regards to timing, route of cell delivery and type of cell used to achieve reproducible results. The variability noted in response to stem cell therapy in patients could also be secondary to their co-morbidities. Abnormalities of glucose metabolism and diabetes in particular impair stem cell and angiogenic cell mobilization. This opens up a whole new area of investigation into exploring the biochemical microenvironment which could influence the efficacy of stem cell therapy.

There are physiological differences in the mechanism of type-I and type-II diabetes and the conventional drug therapy as well as insulin administration seem to be insufficient to address the problem at large successfully. Hypoglycemic swings, frequent dose adjustments and resistance to the drug are major problems associated with drug therapy. Cellular approaches through stem cell based therapeutic interventions offer a promising solution to the problem. The need for pancreatic transplants in case of Type- I diabetes can also be by-passed/reduced due to the formation of insulin producing β cells via stem cells. Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) and induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), successfully used for generating insulin producing β cells. Although many experiments have shown promising results with stem cells in vitro, their clinical testing still needs more exploration. The review attempts to bring into light the clinical studies favoring the transplantation of stem cells in diabetic patients with an objective of improving insulin secretion and improving degeneration of different tissues in response to diabetes. It also focuses on the problems associated with successful implementation of the technique and possible directions for future research.

Abstract
AIMS To define the possible effect of diabetic conditions on megakaryocytes, the long-know precursors of platelets and lately characterized modulator of hematopoietic stem quiescence-activation transition. METHODS Megakaryoblastic MEG-01 cell culture and TPO/SCF/IL-3-induced differentiation of human umbilical blood mononuclear cells toward megakaryocytes were used to test effects of glycated bovine serum albumin (BSA-AGEs). The ob/ob mice and streptozotocin-treated mice were used as models of hyperglycemia. MTT was used to measure cell proliferation, FACS for surface marker and cell cycle, and RT-qPCR for the expression of interested genes. Megakaryocytes at different stages in marrow smear were checked under microscope. RESULTS When added in MEG-01 cultures at 200 μg/ml, BSA-AGEs increased proliferation of cells and enhanced mRNA expression of RAGE, VEGFα and PF4 in the cells. None of cell cycle distribution, PMA-induced platelet-like particles production, expression of GATA1/NF-E2/PU-1/IL-6/OPG/PDGF in MEG-01 cells nor TPO/SCF/IL-3 induced umbilical cord blood cells differentiation into megakaryocyte was affected by BSA-AGEs. In the ob/ob diabetic mice, MKs percentages in marrow cells and platelets in peripheral blood were significantly increased compared with control mice. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, however, MKs percentage in marrow cells was decreased though peripheral platelet counts were not altered. Gene expression assay showed that the change in MKs in these two diabetic conditions might be explained by the alteration of GATA1 and NF-E2 expression, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Diabetic condition in animals might exert its influence on hematopoiesis via megakaryocytes-the newly identified modulator of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow.

Abstract
After two decades of intensive research and attempts of clinical translation, stem cell based therapies for cardiac diseases are not getting closer to clinical success. This review tries to unravel the obstacles and focuses on underlying mechanisms as the target for regenerative therapies. At present, the principal outcome in clinical therapy does not reflect experimental evidence. It seems that the scientific obstacle is a lack of integration of knowledge from tissue repair and disease mechanisms. Recent insights from clinical trials delineate mechanisms of stem cell dysfunction and gene defects in repair mechanisms as cause of atherosclerosis and heart disease. These findings require a redirection of current practice of stem cell therapy and a reset using more detailed analysis of stem cell function interfering with disease mechanisms. To accelerate scientific development the authors suggest intensifying unified computational data analysis and shared data knowledge by using open-access data platforms.

Predictors of Left Ventricular Functional Recovery and Their Impact on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Heart Failure. Heart Lung Circ 2017; 27:41-49.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To identify the predictors of left ventricular functional recovery (LVFR) and its impacts on clinical outcomes in acute heart failure (AHF) patients with newly diagnosed dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). METHODS A total of 175 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed DCM and AHF were divided into two groups according to LVFR on FU echocardiography; the recovered group (n=54, 54.3±18.5years, 31 males) vs. the non-recovered group (n=121, 60.5±15.1years, 79 males). Clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic findings were compared, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) including death, rehospitalisation, and stroke were analysed. RESULTS Left ventricular function (LV) was normalised in 54 patients (30.8%) on follow-up echocardiography. The change in the level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (ΔNT-proBNP) between initial presentation and discharge >1633.5pg/mL was an independent predictor of LVFR, whereas diabetes and LV end-systolic diameter >50mm were negative predictors of LVFR on multivariate analysis. During five years of clinical follow-up, MACCE developed in 91 patients: 58 deaths, 29 rehospitalisations, and 4 strokes. On multivariate analysis, baseline LVEF <30% and no LVFR were independent predictors of MACCE. CONCLUSION Left ventricular functional recovery was not uncommon in newly diagnosed DCM with AHF. The changes in NT-proBNP level during hospitalisation, diabetes, and larger initial LV size were independent predictors of LVFR, and LVFR was an independent predictor of future MACCE. Serial monitoring of NT-proBNP and LV function would be useful in the risk stratification of newly diagnosed DCM with AHF.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a complex systemic disease characterized by severe morbidity and excess mortality. The burden of its multiorgan complications relies on an imbalance between hyperglycemic cell damage and defective endogenous reparative mechanisms. Inflammation and abnormalities in several hematopoietic components are typically found in diabetes. The discovery that diabetes reduces circulating stem/progenitor cells and impairs their function has opened an entire new field of study where diabetology comes into contact with hematology and regenerative medicine. It is being progressively recognized that such rare circulating cell populations mirror finely regulated processes involved in hematopoiesis, immunosurveillance, and peripheral tissue homeostasis. From a clinical perspective, pauperization of circulating stem cells predicts adverse outcomes and death. Furthermore, studies in murine models and humans have identified the bone marrow (BM) as a previously neglected site of diabetic end-organ damage, characterized by microangiopathy, neuropathy, fat deposition, and inflammation. As a result, diabetes impairs the mobilization of BM stem/progenitor cells, a defect known as mobilopathy or myelokathexis, with negative consequences for physiologic hematopoiesis, immune regulation, and tissue regeneration. A better understanding of the molecular and cellular processes that govern the BM stem cell niche, cell mobilization, and kinetics in peripheral tissues may uncover new therapeutic strategies for patients with diabetes. This concise review summarizes the current knowledge on the interplay between the BM, circulating stem cells, and diabetes, and sets the stages for future developments in the field. Stem Cells 2017;35:106-116.
