Abstract:
AIM: To compare bone marrow stem cell mobilization with bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMCs) transplantation for the therapy of myocardial infarction (MI) in rabbits, and to explore more effective and practical stem cell therapeutic strategy for MI. METHODS: In mobilization group (M, n=10), granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) (30 ?g?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 ) was injected subcutaneously 3 hours after MI and every 24 hours for 5 days. On the 5th day, the BMCs from 10 mL peripheral blood were labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) for 24-48 hours, then reinjected intravenously. In transplantation group (T, n=10), BMCs transplantation was performed 5-7 days after MI. After being obtained from bone marrow (3- 5 mL ) of iliac crest and labeled with BrdU for 24-48 hours, BMCs were transplanted into infracted myocardium through intramyocardial injection. Control animals (C, n=10) did not receive any treatment after MI. Echocardiography were performed for the evaluation of cardiac function 1 week and 5 weeks after MI. Hemodynamic studies and histological study were performed 5 weeks after MI. RESULTS: LV ejection fraction increased significantly in group M, had no change in group T, and decreased 1 week and 5 weeks after MI in group C. Group M and group T had higher LV max +dp/dt and max -dp/dt, lower LV end-diastolic pressure compared with group C 5 weeks after MI. Histological studies revealed that there were BrdU positive cells in the infarcted area in group M and group T. The vascular density of group M and group T in the infarcted area was significantly greater in comparison with group C. No regeneration of smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes were found in the infarcted area. CONCLUSION: Bone marrow stem cell mobilization with G-CSF and transplantation of BMCs both significantly improve the cardiac function for the therapy of MI through vascular genesis in the infarcted area. Bone marrow stem cell mobilization may offer a new and non-invasive therapeutic strategy for MI.
