SGLT2 Inhibition with Empagliflozin Increases Circulating Provascular Progenitor Cells in People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Hess et al. quantified circulating aldehyde dehydrogenase-expressing (ALDH ) cell subsets in people with T2DM given either empagliflozin (EMPA) or placebo. EMPA treatment increased circulating pro-angiogenic CD133 progenitor cells, decreased pro-inflammatory ALDH granulocyte precursors, and increase...

Summary: | Hess et al. quantified circulating aldehyde dehydrogenase-expressing (ALDH
) cell subsets in people with T2DM given either empagliflozin (EMPA) or placebo. EMPA treatment increased circulating pro-angiogenic CD133
progenitor cells, decreased pro-inflammatory ALDH
granulocyte precursors, and increased ALDH
monocytes with M2 polarization. EMPA treatment improved T2DM-associated "regenerative cell depletion" contributing to enhanced vascular health. |
