BACKGROUND: Cell transplantation may restore function after myocardial infarction, but the optimal cell type remains controversial. We compared autologous bone marrow stromal cells (BMCs) with autologous heart cells (HCs) in a porcine myocardial infarction model. METHODS: Yorkshire pigs underwent coil occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. Bone marrow stromal cells were obtained from sternal marrow and HCs were obtained by left ventricular biopsy, then cultured for 4 weeks. Four weeks after infarction, a 99mTc-sestamibi single-photon emission tomography (99mTc-MIBI SPECT) scan was performed and the pigs were then transplanted with BMCs (n = 7), HCs (n = 7), or culture medium (n = 14). Four weeks after transplantation, 99mTc-MIBI SPECT scanning was repeated to evaluate regional perfusion. Pressure-volume loops were constructed from micromanometer and conductance catheter data to evaluate left ventricular function. Hearts were evaluated histologically. RESULTS: Bone marrow stromal cells and HCs engrafted within the infarct and assumed a myocyte morphology. SPECT MIBI scans showed increased perfusion in the infarct in cell-transplanted pigs, while perfusion decreased in the control pigs. Heart cell transplantation improved preload-recruitable stroke work and HC and BMC transplantation both shifted the end-systolic pressure-volume relation to the left. Both BMCs and HCs prevented thinning and expansion of the infarct region, and some BMCs differentiated into endothelial cells in newly formed blood vessels perfusing the infarct. CONCLUSIONS: Both BMCs and HCs engrafted in the infarct region and improved let ventricular function by preventing infarct thinning. Bone marrow stromal cells demonstrated greater plasticity in vivo, and may offer a practical alternative to HC transplantation to restore function and perfusion after a myocardial infarction.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic angiogenesis was induced by local autologous bone marrow cell implantation (BMCI) in ischemic hindlimb or ischemic heart models in rats. This study was designed to investigate the toxicity and therapeutic potency of local BMCI using a chronic coronary occlusion model in dogs. METHODS: The canine chronic coronary occlusion model was created by ligating of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The myocardium in the left ventricle was divided into distinct normal, marginal, and infarction areas 30 days after LAD ligation. Each area was injected at two locations, with either 2 x 10(7) bone marrow cells (n = 7, BMCI group) or 0.1 mL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) only (n = 7, PBS group), respectively. Hemodynamics were evaluated by a single ultrasonic transducer and echocardiography before and 30 days after the treatment. Angiogenesis was evaluated by vessel count 30 days after the treatment. The toxicity of BMCI treatment was also evaluated in 8 normal dogs by following changes in electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, local histology, and systemic biochemistry indexes. RESULTS: There was a significantly higher percentage of wall thickening in the marginal area in the BMCI group than in the PBS group 30 days after treatment (14.5 +/- 2.28 versus 8.1 +/- 3.00, p = 0.002). Significantly more microvessels were observed in the marginal area in the BMCI group than in the PBS group 30 days after treatment (127.7 +/- 20.1 versus 88.0 +/- 10.2/field, p = 0.0007). No systemic or local toxicity was found following BMCI treatment in the acute or chronic phases. CONCLUSIONS: BMCI treatment improved local wall thickening dynamics, presumably due to the angiogenesis induced by the treatment. This indicates that it might be a safe and effective therapy for ischemic heart disease.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Fetal cardiomyocyte transplantation improved heart function after cardiac injury. However, cellular allografts were rejected despite cyclosporine (INN: ciclosporin) therapy. We therefore evaluated autologous heart cell transplantation in an adult swine model of a myocardial infarction. METHODS: In 16 adult swine a myocardial infarction was created by occlusion of the distal left anterior descending coronary artery by an intraluminal coil. Four weeks after infarction, technetium 99m-sestamibi single photon emission tomography showed minimal perfusion and viability in the infarcted region. Porcine heart cells were isolated and cultured from the interventricular septum at the time of infarction and grown in vitro for 4 weeks. Through a left thoracotomy, either cells (N = 8) or culture medium (N = 8) was injected into the infarct zone. RESULTS: Four weeks after cell transplantation, technetium 99m-sestamibi single photon emission tomography demonstrated greater wall motion scores in the pigs receiving transplantation than in control animals (P =.01). Pigs receiving transplantation were more likely to have an improvement in perfusion scores (P =.03). Preload recruitable stroke work (P =.009) and end-systolic elastance (P =. 02) were greater in the pigs receiving transplantation than in control animals. Scar areas were not different, but scar thickness was greater (P =.02) in pigs receiving transplantation. Cells labeled with bromodeoxyuridine in vitro could be identified in the infarct zone 4 weeks after transplantation. Swine receiving transplantation gained more weight than control animals (P =.02). CONCLUSION: Autologous porcine heart cell transplantation improved regional perfusion and global ventricular function after a myocardial infarction.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow (BM) cells have been shown to augment local angiogenesis by differentiating vessels themselves and/or secreting paracrinally angiogenic growth factors. Herein, the angiogenic effects of intra-arterial BM mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) transplantation were evaluated in a rat ischemic hindlimb model. METHODS: Unilateral hindlimb ischemia was created by excising the femoral artery and its branch in Lewis rats. BM-MNCs were isolated by centrifugation through a Histopaque density gradient. One week after excision of the unilateral femoral artery, BM-MNCs (5 x 10(6) cells, Group A, n = 6) or PBS (Group B, n = 7) were injected into the ischemic thigh skeletal muscles at the six points with a gauge needle. Another injection of BM-MNCs (3 x 10(7) cells, Group C, n = 6) or PBS (Group D, n = 7) was administered via the indwelling catheter in the right common iliac artery. RESULTS: Four weeks after the BM-MNC transplantation, angiographic examination revealed the development of collateral vessels in both BM-MNC-transplanted groups. The difference in skin temperature between right and left hindlimbs was significantly reduced in both BM-MNC-transplanted groups (0.93 +/- 0.15 vs. 2.84 +/- 0.35 vs. 1.20 +/- 0.26 vs. 2.61 +/- 0.37 degrees C, Group A vs. Group B vs. Group C vs. Group D, p < 0.05). Moreover, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that capillary endothelial cells were increased in both BM-MNC-transplanted groups. CONCLUSION: BM-MNC implantation was able to induce functional neovascularization in rat ischemic hindlimb. The intra-arterial administration offered similar levels of angiogenic activity as intramuscular injection.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are cytoprotective proteins. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most potent angiogenic factor. This study aimed to elucidate the possible role of cytoprotection and angiogenesis on cardiac function after bone marrow cell transplantation (BMT). METHODS: Myocardial infarction was induced in inbred Lewis rats by left anterior descending artery ligation. A total of 5 x 10(6) bone marrow-mononuclear cells were transplanted into the ischemic zone by direct injection. At 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days post-transplantation, cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography. The expressions of HSP32, HSP70 and VEGF were assessed by immunofluorescence and RT-PCR. The number of vessels was examined by immunohistochemistry. The differentiation of the transplanted cells was determined by immunofluorescence. RESULTS: Echocardiography showed BMT led to sustained improvement in cardiac function, as assessed by left ventricle ejection fraction and fraction of shortening. Immunofluorescence revealed that the expressions of HSP32, HSP70 and VEGF were promoted in both transplanted bone marrow cells and recipient cardiomyocytes. RT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression levels of HSP32, HSP70 and VEGF in the BMT group were markedly higher in comparison with injection of peripheral blood cells or saline (P<0.01) by day 7. Seven days later, the vessel count showed that angiogenesis had been induced to a significantly greater degree in the BMT groups. Fourteen days later, specific markers for myocardial or vascular endothelial cells were detected in the transplanted bone marrow cells. CONCLUSIONS: BMT upregulated the expressions of HSP32, HSP70 and VEGF in both transplanted bone marrow cells and recipient endogenous cardiomyocytes in the early phase post-transplantation. This enhanced cytoprotection and angiogenesis, and contributed to the functional recovery following cardiac infarction. In the late phase, the transplanted bone marrow cells might differentiate into both myocardial and vascular endothelial cells that enhanced the ischemic cardiac function further.  相似文献

We determined the incidence of venocclusive disease of the liver (VOD) in 96 recipients of autologous bone marrow transplants (BMT) to be 9.4%, a figure less than that reported for allogeneic transplantation. The development of VOD was compared in a cohort of 21 autologous BMT recipients and in 56 randomly chosen, comparably conditioned, concurrent allogeneic BMT recipients. One of these 21 (4.8%) autologous recipients developed VOD, versus 14 of 56 (25%) allogeneic recipients (P less than 0.05). Logistic regression analysis confirmed pretransplant hepatocellular dysfunction as a risk factor for VOD, and suggested that the use of methotrexate and/or cyclosporine contributes to the development of VOD after chemoradiation therapy. However, a graft-versus-host reaction cannot be excluded as a cause of the higher incidence of VOD in allogeneic recipients.  相似文献
