Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) survival and function in the injured myocardium is adversely influenced by hostile microenvironment like ischemia, hypoxia and inflammatory response, thereby compromising full benefits of EPC-mediated myocardial repair. We hypothesized that interleukin-10 (IL-10) modulates EPC biology leading to enhanced survival and function following transplantation in the ischemic myocardium. Myocardial infarction (MI)-induced mobilization of bone marrow EPC (Sca-1+Flk1+ cells) into the circulation was significantly impaired in IL-10 KO-mice. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to replace IL-10 KO-marrow with WT-marrow attenuated these effects. Impaired mobilization was associated with lower SDF-1 expression levels in the myocardium of KO-mice. Interestingly, SDF-1 administration reversed mobilization defect in KO-mice. In vitro, hypoxia-mediated increases in CXCR4 expression and cell survival were lower in IL-10-deficient-EPCs. Furthermore, SDF-1-induced migration of WT-EPCs was inhibited by AMD3100, an inhibitor of CXCR4. To further study the effect of IL-10 on in vivo EPC survival and engraftment into vascular structures, GFP-labeled EPC were injected intramyocardially after induction of MI, and the mice were treated with either saline or recombinant IL-10. IL-10-treated group showed increased retention of transplanted EPCs in the myocardium and was associated with significantly reduced EPC apoptosis post-MI. Interestingly, increased EPC retention and their association with the vascular structures was observed in IL-10 treated mice. Increased EPC survival and angiogenesis in the myocardium of IL-10-treated mice corroborated with improved LV function, reduced infarct size and fibrosis in the myocardium. In vitro, IL-10-induced increase in VEGF expression in WT-EPC was abrogated by STAT3 inhibitor suggesting IL-10 signals via STAT3 activation. Taken together, our studies demonstrate that MI-induced EPC mobilization was impaired in IL-10 KO-mice and that IL-10 increases EPC survival and function possibly via activation of STAT3/VEGF signaling cascades, leading to attenuation of MI-induced LV dysfunction and remodeling.
