Differential angiogenesis of bone and muscle endothelium in aging and inflammatory processes
Different tissues have different endothelial features, however, the implications of this heterogeneity in pathological responses are not clear yet. “Inflamm-aging” has been hypothesized as a possible trigger of diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA) and sarcopenia, often present in the same patient...

Sumario: | Different tissues have different endothelial features, however, the implications of this heterogeneity in pathological responses are not clear yet. “Inflamm-aging” has been hypothesized as a possible trigger of diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA) and sarcopenia, often present in the same patient. To highlight a possible contribution of organ-specific endothelial cells (ECs), we compare ECs derived from bone and skeletal muscle of the same OA patients. OA bone ECs show a pro-inflammatory signature and higher angiogenic sprouting as compared to muscle ECs, in control conditions and stimulated with TNFα. Furthermore, growth of muscle but not bone ECs decreases with increasing patient age and systemic inflammation. Overall, our data demonstrate that inflammatory conditions in OA patients differently affect bone and muscle ECs, suggesting that inflammatory processes increase angiogenesis in subchondral bone while associated systemic low-grade inflammation impairs angiogenesis in muscle, possibly highlighting a vascular trigger linking OA and sarcopenia. |
