Unique metabolomic profile of skeletal muscle in chronic limb threatening ischemia (organic phase samples)

ABSTRACT: This project is focused on a cross-sectional analysis of non-PAD controls and CLTI patients undergoing either a vascular intervention or undergoing limb amputation was performed and involved a detailed assessment of the limb muscle metabolome using HR-MAS and solution state NMR spectroscopy. It was hypothesized that patients undergoing limb amputation would present with altered muscle metaolite features compared with non-PAD controls.

Project description:Background: Lower-limb peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus. PAD is associated with poor limb and cardiovascular prognoses, along with a dramatic decrease in life expectancy. Despite major medical advances in the treatment of diabetes, a substantial therapeutic gap remains in the PAD population. Praliciguat is an orally available soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator that has been reported both pre-clinically and in early-stage clinical trials to have favorable effects in metabolic and hemodynamic outcomes, suggesting that it may have a potential beneficial effect in PAD. Objective: We evaluated the effect of praliciguat on hind limb ischemia (HLI) recovery in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Methods: HLI was induced in leptin receptor-deficient (Leprdb/db) mice by ligation and excision of the left femoral artery. Praliciguat (10 mg/kg/day) was administered in the diet starting 3 days before surgery. Results: 28 days after surgery, ischemic foot perfusion and function parameters were better in praliciguat-treated mice than in vehicle controls. Improved ischemic foot perfusion was not associated with either improved traditional cardiovascular risk factors (i.e., weight, glycemia) or increased angiogenesis. However, treatment with praliciguat significantly increased arteriole diameter, decreased intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) expression, and prevented the accumulation of oxidative pro-angiogenic and pro-inflammatory muscle fibers. While investigating the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of praliciguat therapy, we found that praliciguat significantly downregulated Myh2 and Cxcl12 mRNA expression in cultured myoblasts and that conditioned medium form praliciguat-treated myoblast decreased ICAM-1 mRNA expression in endothelial cells. These results suggest that praliciguat therapy may decrease ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells by downregulating Cxcl12 in myocytes. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that praliciguat promotes blood flow recovery in the ischemic muscle of mice with type 2 diabetes, at least in part by increasing arteriole diameter and by downregulating ICAM-1 expression.
