Preclinical evaluation of the engineered stem cell chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1? analog in a translational ovine myocardial infarction model.

ABSTRACT: After myocardial infarction, there is an inadequate blood supply to the myocardium, and the surrounding borderzone becomes hypocontractile.To develop a clinically translatable therapy, we hypothesized that in a preclinical ovine model of myocardial infarction, the modified endothelial progenitor stem cell chemokine, engineered stromal cell-derived factor 1? analog (ESA), would induce endothelial progenitor stem cell chemotaxis, limit adverse ventricular remodeling, and preserve borderzone contractility.Thirty-six adult male Dorset sheep underwent permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, inducing an anteroapical infarction, and were randomized to borderzone injection of saline (n=18) or ESA (n=18). Ventricular function, geometry, and regional strain were assessed using cardiac MRI and pressure-volume catheter transduction. Bone marrow was harvested for in vitro analysis, and myocardial biopsies were taken for mRNA, protein, and immunohistochemical analysis. ESA induced greater chemotaxis of endothelial progenitor stem cells compared with saline (P<0.01) and was equivalent to recombinant stromal cell-derived factor 1? (P=0.27). Analysis of mRNA expression and protein levels in ESA-treated animals revealed reduced matrix metalloproteinase 2 in the borderzone (P<0.05), with elevated levels of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 and elastin in the infarct (P<0.05), whereas immunohistochemical analysis of borderzone myocardium showed increased capillary and arteriolar density in the ESA group (P<0.01). Animals in the ESA treatment group also had significant reductions in infarct size (P<0.01), increased maximal principle strain in the borderzone (P<0.01), and a steeper slope of the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (P=0.01).The novel, biomolecularly designed peptide ESA induces chemotaxis of endothelial progenitor stem cells, stimulates neovasculogenesis, limits infarct expansion, and preserves contractility in an ovine model of myocardial infarction.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) transplantation offers an attractive alternative in myocardial infarctive therapy. However, poor cell engraftment and survival limit their restorative capacity. C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein-3 (CTRP3) inhibits reverse remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) and was found to be secreted by MSCs in our preliminary experiments. We examined whether the overexpression of CTRP3 improved the survival of transplanted MSCs and augmented their efficacy on MI and whether silencing CTRP3 attenuated these effects. For gain-of-function analysis, MSCs overexpressing CTRP3 (LvC3-MSCs), control virus-transfected MSCs (LvNull-MSCs), MSCs alone, or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were injected into the peripheral areas of the infarction immediately after coronary artery ligation. For loss-of-function analysis, mice subjected to MI were randomized into groups and administered CTRP3-knockdown MSCs (LvshC3-MSCs), Lvshctrl-MSCs, MSCs, or PBS. Survival rates, cardiac function, and myocardial remodeling in mice were evaluated after 4 weeks. Injection of MSCs or LvNull-MSCs improved the left ventricular ejection fraction, inhibited cardiac fibrosis, and regulated cellular profiles of the infarction border zone 4 weeks after MI compared with those in the PBS group. Furthermore, overexpression of hCTRP3 promoted the efficacy of MSCs in the treatment of MI. However, knocking down CTRP3 impaired that. Coculture experiments confirmed that hCTRP3-enriched conditioned medium (CM) promoted MSCs migration and protected against H2O2-induced cell damage. Conversely, CM from C3-/- MSCs (CTRP3 knock out) significantly reduced the migration and antioxidative effects of MSCs. CTRP3 protein alone promoted MSCs proliferation and migration by upregulating matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and protecting against oxidation by increasing superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and metallothionein 1/2 (MT1/2) expression; and these effects were blocked by pretreatment with the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) inhibitor U0126. Overexpression of CTRP3 significantly improved the MSCs-based efficacy on MI by increasing cell survival and retention via a mechanism involving ERK1/2-MMP9 and ERK1/2-SOD2/MT1/2 signaling.
