Regulatory T cells promote apelin-mediated sprouting angiogenesis in Type 2 diabetes
Abstract: The role of CD4+ T cells in the ischemic tissues of T2D patients remains unclear. Here, we report that T2D patients’ vascular density was negatively correlated with the number of infiltrating CD4+ T cells after ischemic injury. Th1 was the predominant subset, and Th1-derived IFN-γ and TNF-α directly impaired human angiogenesis. We then blocked CD4+ T cell infiltration into the ischemic tissues of both Leprdb/db and diet-induced obese T2D mice. Genome-wide RNA sequencing shows an increased proliferative and angiogenic capability of diabetic ECs in ischemic tissues. Moreover, wire myography shows enhanced EC function and laser Doppler imaging reveals improved post-ischemic blood reperfusion. Mechanistically, functional revascularization after CD4 coreceptor blockade was mediated by Tregs. Genetic lineage tracing via Cdh5-CreER and Apln-CreER and coculture assays further illustrate that Tregs increased vascular density and induced de novo sprouting angiogenesis in a paracrine manner. Taken together, our results reveal that Th1 impaired while Tregs promoted functional post-ischemic revascularization in obesity and diabetes
