Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Mobilizing bone stem cell is popular because of no hurling, no immunological rejection and no extraction,cultivation and amplification of stem cells.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF) on treating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) of rats.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Laboratory of Pharmacology, Jinzhou Medical College.MATERIALS: A total of 32 healthy SD rats weighing (200+20) g were provided by the Animal Center of Jinzhou Medical College. Recombination human G-CSF (rhG-CSF) was provided by Shuanglu medicine factory, Beijing, and recombination human SCF (rhSCF) was provided by Diao Company, Chengdu.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in Jinzhou Medical Pharmacological Laboratory from July to November 2005.① Totally, 32 male SD rats were injected with 5 mg/kg ISO in left abdomen. After 3 hours, the rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 8 in each group. Treatment group: The rats were injected with 1 mg/kg rhG-CSF and 1 mg/kg rhSCF under epidermis for 5 days. The concentration was 10 mg/kg. G-CSF group: The rats were injected with 1 mg/kg rhG-CSF and 1 mg/kg saline for 5 days. The concentration was 10 mg/kg. SCF group: The rats were injected with 1 mg/kg rhSCF and 1 mg/kg saline for 5 days. The concentration was 10 mg/kg. Control group: 2 mg/kg saline was injected under epidermis. ② After 14 days and 28 days from injecting ISO, one subgroup was weighted from every group.The rats were narcotized with 200 g/L urethane. After the heart's exposed, a tube filled with heparin sodium was inserted to left ventricle. Then tracked record the left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), maximal rising and descent velocity of left ventricular pressure (±dp/dr) using Medlab-u/Sc and kept the heart rate (HR) records. Tracheal cannula was pushed out; heart was cut off immediately; auricula and right ventricle were cut off; tissue was weighed with microbalance; left ventricle mass/body mass was calculated; myocardial remodeling was evaluated. Tissues were cut into sections, and pathological form and infarction area were observed under optic microscope. Infarction area in each group was analyzed with cellular image analyzer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Left ventricular function, myocardial infarction area, heart rate, ventricular remodeling and pathology of the cardiac muscle.RESULTS: All 32 rats were involved in the final analysis without any loss. ① Comparison of the left ventricular function:At 14 days after modeling, LVSP, LVEDP and ±dp/dr were higher in treatment group than those in other 3 groups (P ＜0.05); 28 days later, those indexes in the 4 groups were higher than those in the 4 groups at 14 days after modeling,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05). Those indexes in G-CSF group were higher than those in SCF group and control group at the two time points (P ＜ 0.05). ② Comparison of infarction area, HR and the ventricular remodeling: At 14 and 28 days after modeling, infarction area and left ventricle weight were smaller and lighter in treatment group than those in other 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05); 28 days later, infarction area in the 4 groups was smaller than those in the 4 groups at 14 days after modeling (P ＜ 0.05). Those indexes in G-CSF group were less than those in SCF group and control group at the two time points. ③ Pathology results: At 14 and 28 days after modeling, there was no significant infarction car in treatment group and G-CSF group, and new capillary vessel and infiltration of fibroblast were found in the two groups. The density of capillary vessel in G-CSF group was less than that in treatment group. There were infarction scars and much lymphocyte in SCF group and control group. The nucleus was small, the color was deep, and plasma was less. New granulation tissue was not significant.CONCLUSION: Combining G-CSF with SCF can protect the ischemic cardial muscle and improve the heart function in rats. The function of combining G-CSF and SCF is better than singlly using G-CSF or SCF.
