Cellular postconditioning: allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells reduce infarct size and attenuate microvascular obstruction when administered after reperfusion in pigs with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: Intracoronary delivery of cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in porcine and human chronic myocardial infarction. However, intracoronary delivery of CDCs after reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction has never been assessed in a clinically-relevant large animal model. We tested CDCs as adjunctive therapy to reperfusion in a porcine model of myocardial infarction.First, escalating doses (5, 7.5, and 10 million cells) of allogeneic CDCs were administered intracoronary 30 minutes after reperfusion. Forty-eight hours later, left ventriculography was performed and animals euthanized to measure area at risk, infarct size (IS), and microvascular obstruction. Second, identical end points were measured in a pivotal study of minipigs (n=14) that received 8.5 to 9 million allogeneic CDCs, placebo solution, or sham. Multiple indicators of cardioprotection were observed with 7.5 and 10 million allogeneic CDCs, but not 5 million CDCs, relative to control. In the pivotal study, IS, microvascular obstruction, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and adverse left ventricular remodeling were all smaller in the CDC group than in sham or placebo groups. In addition, serum troponin I level at 24 hours was lower after CDC infusion than that in the placebo or sham groups, consistent with the histologically-demonstrated reduction in IS.Intracoronary delivery of allogeneic CDCs is safe, feasible, and effective in cardioprotection, reducing IS, preventing microvascular obstruction, and attenuating adverse acute remodeling. This novel cardioprotective effect, which we call cellular postconditioning, differs from previous strategies to reduce IS in that it works even when initiated with significant delay after reflow.

Project description:Postconditioning and cyclosporine A prevent mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening providing cardioprotection during ischemia/reperfusion. Whether microvascular obstruction is affected by these interventions is largely unknown. Pigs subjected to coronary occlusion for 1 h followed by 3 h of reperfusion were assigned to control (n = 8), postconditioning (n = 9) or cyclosporine A intravenous infusion 10-15 min before the end of ischemia (n = 8). Postconditioning was induced by 8 cycles of repeated 30-s balloon inflation and deflation. After 3 h of reperfusion magnetic resonance imaging, triphenyltetrazolium chloride/Evans blue staining and histopathology were performed. Microvascular obstruction (MVO, percentage of gadolinium-hyperenhanced area) was measured early (3 min) and late (12 min) after contrast injection. Infarct size with double staining was smaller in cyclosporine (46.2 ± 3.1%, P = 0.016) and postconditioning pigs (47.6 ± 3.9%, P = 0.008) versus controls (53.8 ± 4.1%). Late MVO was significantly reduced by cyclosporine (13.9 ± 9.6%, P = 0.047) but not postconditioning (23.6 ± 11.7%, P = 0.66) when compared with controls (32.0 ± 16.9%). Myocardial blood flow in the late MVO was improved with cyclosporine versus controls (0.30 ± 0.06 vs 0.21 ± 0.03 ml/g/min, P = 0.002) and was inversely correlated with late-MVO extent (R(2) = 0.93, P < 0.0001). Deterioration of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between baseline and 3 h of reperfusion was smaller with cyclosporine (-7.9 ± 2.4%, P = 0.008) but not postconditioning (-12.0 ± 5.5%, P = 0.22) when compared with controls (-16.4 ± 5.5%). In the three groups, infarct size (β = -0.69, P < 0.001) and late MVO (β = -0.33, P = 0.02) were independent predictors of LVEF deterioration following ischemia/reperfusion (R(2) = 0.73, P < 0.001). Despite both cyclosporine A and postconditioning reduce infarct size, only cyclosporine A infusion had a beneficial effect on microvascular damage and was associated with better preserved LV function when compared with controls.
