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...

Description
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.
