Abstract:
AIM: The autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation for treating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) via coronary artery in clinic has made remarkable and encouraging progress. The experiment aimed to study cytokine secretion in autologous BMSC transplantation for myocardial infarction dogs and its influence on angiogenesis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. METHODS: Experiments were performed at the Animal Laboratory and the Central Laboratory, First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between December 2005 and May 2007. 10 mL of bone marrow was sterilely aspirated from the posterosuperior iliac spine of 36 healthy mongrel dogs. BMSCs were isolated and purified by Percoll density gradient centrifugation and cultured in vitro by adherence method. After being co-cultured with 5-azacytidine for two passages, these cells were labeled by 5-bromodeoxyuridine (Brdu) for preparation. Dog models of AMI were established in a model control group and a cell transplantation group randomly. 2 mL of cell suspension of autologous BMSCs were implanted into four different regions in the acute myocardial site via topical injection in the cell transplantation group, while the same dose of DMEM was injected into the corresponding regions in the model control group. Myocardial infraction tissues were measured after transplantation. RESULTS: Flow cytometry demonstrated that the positive rate of CD34 and CD11b on third passage of BMSC cell surface was below 5%, while the positive rate of CD44 and CD105 was above 90%. In situ end labeling showed that apoptotic index of cardiomyocytes was lower in the cell transplantation group than in the model control group (P
