Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs)have great therapeutic potential for the repair of diabetic lower-limb ischemia because of their proangiogenic properties. However, cells transplanted into an ischemic environment have reduced cell survival rates and impaired angiogenic capacity in vivo. We explored hypoxia pretreatment as a method to promote BM-MSC survival by inducing autophagy. Our results showed that hypoxic pretreatment has no effect on the phenotype or differentiation capacity of BM-MSCs; however, hypoxia increased viability and reduced apoptosis in cells treated with lipopolysaccharide. Immunofluorescence and western blot results showed that hypoxia pretreatment enhances cell autophagy mediated by elevated expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). The AMPK/mTOR (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway was also activated in BM-MSCs during hypoxia-enhanced autophagy. It is important to note that hypoxia pretreatment in BM-MSCs significantly enhanced cell survival and promoted angiogenesis in the lower limb of ischemic diabetic rats. In conclusion, hypoxia pretreatment enhances survival in BM-MSCs, promoting angiogenesis by increasing autophagy and significantly decreasing apoptosis. Therefore, modulation of autophagy with hypoxic pretreatment may provide a novel strategy to improve MSC-based therapies.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
