Synopsis
Hematopoietic stem cells at the bone marrow (BM) niche generates excess inflammatory leukocytes harming the heart after a myocardial infarction (MI). Whether MI affects the hematopoietic organ’s microvasculature is unknown. Here intravital microscopy shows that MI triggers endothelial dysfunction, leakage, and angiogenesis in the BM, leading to systemic leukocytosis. These novel findings were imaged by noninvasive PET imaging of integrin αVβ3 activation concomitant with measuring leakiness using dynamic contrast enhanced MRI. Endothelial deletion of Vegf receptor 2 (Vegfr2) curbed emergency hematopoiesis after MI. Our findings establish that MI remodels the vascular BM niche, stimulating hematopoiesis and production of inflammatory leukocytes.
