An improved transplantation strategy for mouse mesenchymal stem cells in an acute myocardial infarction model.

ABSTRACT: To develop an effective therapeutic strategy for cardiac regeneration using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), the primary mouse BM-MSCs (1(st) BM-MSCs) and 5(th) passage BM-MSCs from ?-galactosidase transgenic mice were respectively intramyocardially transplanted into the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model of wild type mice. At the 6(th) week, animals/tissues from the 1(st) BM-MSCs group, the 5(th) passage BM-MSCs group, control group were examined. Our results revealed that, compared to the 5(th) passage BM-MSCs, the 1(st) BM-MSCs had better therapeutic effects in the mouse MI model. The 1(st) BM-MSCs maintained greater differentiation potentials towards cardiomocytes or vascular endothelial cells in vitro. This is indicated by higher expressions of cardiomyocyte and vascular endothelial cell mature markers in vitro. Furthermore, we identified that 24 proteins were down-regulated and 3 proteins were up-regulated in the 5(th) BM-MSCs in comparison to the 1(st) BM-MSCs, using mass spectrometry following two-dimensional electrophoresis. Our data suggest that transplantation of the 1(st) BM-MSCs may be an effective therapeutic strategy for cardiac tissue regeneration following AMI, and altered protein expression profiles between the 1(st) BM-MSCs and 5(th) passage BM-MSCs may account for the difference in their maintenance of stemness and their therapeutic effects following AMI.

Project description:BackgroundThe two-dimensional incubation method is now the most commonly method for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) production. however, gene expression and secretion of growth factors are relatively low; thus, the transplanted cells cannot be effectively utilized for potential clinical applications after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate whether our newly made substrates of inverse opal with specific surface microstructures for MSC culturing can increase the viability of the cells and can contributes to decreased myocardial remodeling after transplanted to AMI mice.MethodsThe inverse opal structure is fabricated by the convenient bottom-up approach of the self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles. Mouse-derived MSCs were then cultured on the substrates when expanded at different times to investigate the cell growth status including morphology. Then the inverse opal substrates loaded MSCs were transplanted to AMI mice, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and LV remodeling were further compared. To explore the possible mechanisms of curation, the secretions and viability of MSCs on substrates were determined using mice ELISA kits and JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential assay kits respectively at normal and hypoxic conditions.Results6 times expanded inverse opals allowed greatly the orderly growth of MSCs as compared to four (34% ± 10.6%) and two (20%±7.2%) times expanded as well as unexpanded (13%±4.1%) (P<0.001). Nearly 90% of MSCs showed orientation angle intervals of less than 30° when at the 6X expanded (89.6%±25%) compared to the percent of cells with 30°-60° (8.7%±2.6%) or ≥60° (1.7%±1.0%) orientation angle (P<0.001). After inverse opal loaded MSCs transplanted to AMI mice, greatly decreased apoptosis of cardiomyocytes (20.45%±8.64% vs.39.63%±11.71%, P<0.001) and infarction area (5.87±2.18 mm2 vs 9.31±3.11 mm2, P<0.001) were identified. In the end, the viability of inverse opal loaded MSCs determined by membrane potential (P<0.001) and the secretion of growth factors including VEGF-α, SDF-1 and Ang-1 (P<0.001) were both confirmed significantly higher than that of the conventional culture in petri dish.ConclusionThe structure of inverse opal can not only adjust the arrangement of MSCs but also contribute to its orientated growth. Inverse opal loaded MSCs transplantation extremely curbed myocardial remodeling, the underlying mechanisms might be the high viability and extremely higher secretions of growth factors of MSCs as devoted by this method.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: A number of questions remain unanswered in the field of cell therapy for acute myocardial infarction, including what is the optimal cell type, and can therapeutic efficacy be enhanced by conditioning regimens. In this study, we sought to address these questions by directly comparing the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and unrestricted somatic stem cells delivered 24 hours post-myocardial infarction and by determining if the therapeutic efficacy of unrestricted somatic stem cells could be enhanced by exposing the cells to guiding factors before cell transplantation. METHODS: Unrestricted somatic stem cells were guided by exposure to 50 ng/mL basic fibroblast growth factor, 20 ng/mL hepatocyte growth factor and 20 ng/mL bone morphogenetic protein-2 for 24 hours. Using a Sprague-Dawley rat model of acute myocardial infarction, we transplanted cells by intramyocardial injection 24 hours post-myocardial infarction. Cardiac function was serially measured using echocardiography, and histological analyses of infarct morphology, angiogenesis and apoptosis were obtained. Transcriptomic and proteomic changes were assessed using microarray and real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS: When assessed 28 days after the myocardial infarction, the delivery of mesenchymal stem cells 24 hours post-myocardial infarction did not improve ejection fraction (P = 0.19), and did not prevent the decline in ejection fraction observed in the absence of cell therapy (P = 0.17). The administration of unrestricted somatic stem cells also did not improve ejection fraction (P = 0.11), but did prevent a further decline in ejection fraction (P = 0.001). Delivery of guided unrestricted somatic stem cells significantly improved ejection fraction (P = 0.03). Guided unrestricted somatic stem cells restored function to a greater extent than mesenchymal stem cells (P = 0.03). The infarct area (P = 0.2), apoptosis (P = 0.07) and angiogenesis (P = 0.09) did not differ between groups. Microarray analysis revealed that, following pre-implantation guiding, the gene groupings of mitosis, signalling and angiogenesis were highly overrepresented, mediators of apoptosis were overrepresented, and cardiomyocyte-associated genes were not differentially expressed. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that guided unrestricted somatic stem cells have a moderate capacity to repair cardiac damage and that they are more effective than mesenchymal stem cells in restoring cardiac function after a myocardial infarction. The mechanism of the benefit was not fully elucidated in this study, but these observations may be mediated by favorable dysregulation of angiogenic and apoptotic gene groupings.

Project description:BackgroundCell transplantation offers a potential therapeutic approach to the repair and regeneration of damaged vascular and cardiac tissue after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This has resulted in multiple randomised controlled trials (RCTs) across the world.ObjectivesTo determine the safety and efficacy of autologous adult bone marrow stem cells as a treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), focusing on clinical outcomes.Search methodsThis Cochrane review is an update of a previous version (published in 2012). We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2015, Issue 2), MEDLINE (1950 to March 2015), EMBASE (1974 to March 2015), CINAHL (1982 to March 2015) and the Transfusion Evidence Library (1980 to March 2015). In addition, we searched several international and ongoing trial databases in March 2015 and handsearched relevant conference proceedings to January 2011.Selection criteriaRCTs comparing autologous bone marrow-derived cells with no cells in patients diagnosed with AMI were eligible.Data collection and analysisTwo review authors independently screened all references, assessed the risk of bias of the included trials and extracted data. We conducted meta-analyses using random-effects models throughout. We analysed outcomes at short-term (less than 12 months) and long-term (12 months or more) follow-up. Dichotomous outcomes are reported as risk ratio (RR) and continuous outcomes are reported as mean difference (MD) or standardised MD (SMD). We performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the results in the context of the risk of selection, performance and attrition bias. Exploratory subgroup analysis investigated the effects of baseline cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF) and cell dose, type and timing of administration, as well as the use of heparin in the final cell solution.Main resultsForty-one RCTs with a total of 2732 participants (1564 cell therapy, 1168 controls) were eligible for inclusion. Cell treatment was not associated with any changes in the risk of all-cause mortality (34/538 versus 32/458; RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.50; 996 participants; 14 studies; moderate quality evidence), cardiovascular mortality (23/277 versus 18/250; RR 1.04, 95% CI 0.54 to 1.99; 527 participants; nine studies; moderate quality evidence) or a composite measure of mortality, reinfarction and re-hospitalisation for heart failure (24/262 versus 33/235; RR 0.63, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.10; 497 participants; six studies; moderate quality evidence) at long-term follow-up. Statistical heterogeneity was low (I(2) = 0% to 12%). Serious periprocedural adverse events were rare and were generally unlikely to be related to cell therapy. Additionally, cell therapy had no effect on morbidity, quality of life/performance or LVEF measured by magnetic resonance imaging. Meta-analyses of LVEF measured by echocardiography, single photon emission computed tomography and left ventricular angiography showed evidence of differences in mean LVEF between treatment groups although the mean differences ranged between 2% and 5%, which are accepted not to be clinically relevant. Results were robust to the risk of selection, performance and attrition bias from individual studies.Authors' conclusionsThe results of this review suggest that there is insufficient evidence for a beneficial effect of cell therapy for AMI patients. However, most of the evidence comes from small trials that showed no difference in clinically relevant outcomes. Further adequately powered trials are needed and until then the efficacy of this intervention remains unproven.
