The Bone Marrow in Type 1 Diabetes Feasibility of Flow Cytometric Analysis of npod Bone Marrow specimens Paolo Madeddu, MD FAHA University of Bristol UK Miami January, 17 2012
2 BACKGROUND Cardiovascular complications are responsible for about 50% of deaths in diabetic patients. Clinical outcome is worsened because of impairment of cellular and molecular mechanisms of vascular repair. U n r a v e l l i n g t h e c a u s e s o f defective repair mechanisms may lead to new therapies 124,000 heart attacks in UK every year In the DDCT/EDIC study, prevalence of myocardial scar was 4.3% by cardiac MRI and 1.4% by clinical adjudication of MI BHF data and Circulation 2011

16 Methods The effect of diabetes on BM PCs was assessed in three npod iliac crest BM cases: 1) case 6126, not diabedc (ND) male (M), age 25 years 2) case 6161, Type 1 diabedc (T1D), M, age 19 years 3) case 6132, T2D, female, age 52 years. Frozen specimens were thawed following npod instrucdons in DMEM+10% FBS. In addidon, cells were leu 2 hours at 37C, 5% CO 2 to recover from thawing before FACS analysis.

Conclusions We successfully verified a SOP to thaw npod BM specimens for cytometric analysis. Samples were adequate to measure the percentages of different populations of BM cells. However, the proportion of cells can be skewed because of distinctive cell loss during freezing/thawing.
Perspectives BM Collect info on clinical correlates Compare with fresh samples Focus on certain populations (CD34+, CD34+KDR, lineage) to study cell specification CVD Extend npod to cardiovascular complications (heart, large vessels, limb muscle) Focus on similar molecular mechanisms Links Connection with other thematic areas
