Deleterious effect of bone marrow-resident macrophages on hematopoietic stem cells in response to total body irradiation.

ABSTRACT: Bone marrow (BM) resident macrophages interact with a population of long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) but their role on LT-HSC properties after stress is not well defined. Here, we show that a 2 Gy-total body irradiation (TBI)-mediated death of LT-HSCs is associated with increased percentages of LT-HSCs with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and of BM resident macrophages producing nitric oxide (NO), resulting in an increased percentage of LT-HSCs with endogenous cytotoxic peroxynitrites. Pharmacological or genetic depletion of BM resident macrophages impairs the radio-induced increases in the percentage of both ROS+ LT-HSCs and peroxynitrite+ LT-HSCs and results in a complete recovery of a functional pool of LT-HSCs. Finally, we show that after a 2 Gy-TBI, a specific decrease of NO production by BM resident macrophages improves the LT-HSC recovery, whereas an exogenous NO delivery decreases the LT-HSC compartment. Altogether, these results show that BM resident macrophages are involved in the response of LT-HSCs to a 2 Gy-TBI and suggest that regulation of NO production can be used to modulate some deleterious effects of a TBI on LT-HSCs.

Project description:Long-term space mission exposes astronauts to a radiation environment with potential health hazards. High-energy charged particles (HZE), including 28Si nuclei in space, have deleterious effects on cells due to their characteristics with high linear energy transfer and dense ionization. The influence of 28Si ions contributes more than 10% to the radiation dose equivalent in the space environment. Understanding the biological effects of 28Si irradiation is important to assess the potential health hazards of long-term space missions. The hematopoietic system is highly sensitive to radiation injury and bone marrow (BM) suppression is the primary life-threatening injuries after exposure to a moderate dose of radiation. Therefore, in the present study we investigated the acute effects of low doses of 28Si irradiation on the hematopoietic system in a mouse model. Specifically, 6-month-old C57BL/6J mice were exposed to 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9Gy 28Si (600MeV) total body irradiation (TBI). The effects of 28Si TBI on BM hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) were examined four weeks after the exposure. The results showed that exposure to 28Si TBI dramatically reduced the frequencies and numbers of HSCs in irradiated mice, compared to non-irradiated controls, in a radiation dose-dependent manner. In contrast, no significant changes were observed in BM HPCs regardless of radiation doses. Furthermore, irradiated HSCs exhibited a significant impairment in clonogenic ability. These acute effects of 28Si irradiation on HSCs may be attributable to radiation-induced apoptosis of HSCs, because HSCs, but not HPCs, from irradiated mice exhibited a significant increase in apoptosis in a radiation dose-dependent manner. However, exposure to low doses of 28Si did not result in an increased production of reactive oxygen species and DNA damage in HSCs and HPCs. These findings indicate that exposure to 28Si irradiation leads to acute HSC damage.
