Hypoxia leads to metabolic changes at the cellular, tissue, and organismal levels. The molecular mechanisms for controlling physiological changes during hypoxia have not yet been fully studied. Erythroid cells are essential for adjusting the rate of erythropoiesis and can influence the development and differentiation of immune cells under normal and pathological conditions. We simulated high-altitude hypoxia conditions for mice and assessed the content of erythroid nucleated cells in the spleen and bone marrow under the existing microenvironment. For a pure population of CD71+ erythroid cells, we assessed the production of cytokines and the expression of genes that regulate the immune response. Our findings show changes in the cellular composition of the bone marrow and spleen during hypoxia, as well as changes in the composition of the erythroid cell subpopulations during acute hypoxic exposure in the form of a decrease in orthochromatophilic erythroid cells that are ready for rapid enucleation and the accumulation of their precursors. Cytokine production normally differs only between organs; this effect persists during hypoxia. In the bone marrow, during hypoxia, genes of the C-lectin pathway are activated. Thus, hypoxia triggers the activation of various adaptive and compensatory mechanisms in order to limit inflammatory processes and modify metabolism.
缺氧会导致细胞、组织和机体水平的代谢变化。控制缺氧期间生理变化的分子机制尚未得到充分研究。红系细胞对于调节红细胞生成率至关重要,并且可以在正常和病理条件下影响免疫细胞的发育和分化。我们模拟了高原缺氧条件,并在现有的微环境下评估了脾脏和骨髓中有核红细胞的含量。对于纯 CD71+红系细胞群体,我们评估了细胞因子的产生和调节免疫反应的基因表达。我们的研究结果表明,缺氧期间骨髓和脾脏的细胞组成发生变化,急性缺氧暴露时红系细胞亚群的组成也发生变化,表现为正染红细胞(准备快速去核的细胞)数量减少,其前体积累。细胞因子的产生通常仅在器官之间存在差异;这种影响在缺氧期间持续存在。在骨髓中,缺氧期间 C-凝集素途径的基因被激活。因此,缺氧会引发各种适应性和代偿性机制的激活,以限制炎症过程并改变代谢。
