Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Now, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel homing is thought to be mediated by adhesion molecules and chemokines, and this process involves bone marrow endothelial cel s, hematopoietic stem cel s, bone marrow microenvironment and its secreted or expressed molecules, in which, adhesion molecules may play an important role.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the migrating and chemotactic mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s via acupoint injection into myocardial cel s by determining the expression of vascular cel adhesion molecule-1 and very late antigen-4.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were cultured using adherent method, and the passage 3 cel s were used as seed cel s at a density of 1×1010/L. Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group, myocardial injection group, and acupoint injection group, 15 rats in each group. The left coronary arteries of rats were ligated for establishing a model of myocardial infarction. At 72 hours after myocardial infarction, 0.3 mL bone mesenchymal stem cel s were transplanted into the Xinyu, Zhiyang, Tanzhong acupoints, respectively, in the acupoint injection group;while in the myocardial injection group, secondary thoracotomy was done, and 1.2 mL bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were equably transplanted into six
sites in the feeding area of the left anterior descending artery and the surrounding myocardium. At 4 weeks after myocardial infarction, a multi-channel polygraph was adopted for detection of hemodynamic parameters, and the levels of serum vascular cel adhesion molecule-1 and very late antigen-4 were measured by ELISA.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The heart function of rats in the myocardial injection and acupoint injection groups were improved, and compared with the model group, the levels of serum vascular cel adhesion molecule-1 and very late antigen-4 were significantly higher in the myocardial injection and acupoint injection groups. However, there was no significant difference between the myocardial injection and acupoint injection groups. These findings suggest that vascular cel adhesion molecule-1 and very late antigen-4 may be one of the chemotactic mechanisms of bone mesenchymal stem cel s transplanted in myocardial infarction model rats by acupoint injection.
