ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the therapeutic effects of magnetically labeled mononuclear stem cells (MR-MNC) and mesenchymal stem cells (MR-MSC) transplantation in a swine acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model by MR imaging.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>AMI model was established in swines by balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, 10(7) autologous MR-MSC (n = 7), MR-MNC (n = 6) or PBS (n = 6) were delivered via intracoronary infusion within 1 week after AMI [(4.8 +/- 1.3) days]. Changes of infarct size and cardiac function were assessed with the use of 3.0T MR scanner before AMI, at 1 and 8 weeks post AMI.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Magnetically labeled stem cells could be identified in the region of AMI by cardiac MR imaging. Eight weeks post transplantation, infarct size was significantly reduced in MR-MSC transplantation group (8.5% +/- 0.5% vs. 24.7% +/- 3.1%, P < 0.05) and in MR-MNC transplantation (12.3% +/- 1.5% vs. 26.1% +/- 1.5%, P < 0.05) while infarct size remained unchanged in PBS group (P > 0.05) compared to values at 1 week post AMI, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was also significantly higher in MR-MSC transplantation group (56.9% +/- 1.3% vs. 40.7% +/- 2.0%, P < 0.05) and MR-MNC transplantation group (52.8% +/- 1.4% vs. 41.9% +/- 3.3%, P < 0.05) compared to LVEF at 1 week post AMI. LVEF increase was more significant in swines received MR-MSC transplantation than MR-MNC transplantation (16.2% +/- 1.2% vs. 10.9% +/- 3.0%, P < 0.05). Prussian blue staining identified stem cells in corresponding myocardial regions with as by MRI. Western blot analysis demonstrated that cardiac expressions of myosin heavy chain (MHC) in MR-MSC group (100.3 +/- 5.5) and in MR-MNCs group (95.5 +/- 4.2) were significantly higher than that in PBS group (75.7 +/- 5.7, P < 0.05), myocardial troponin T (cTNT) expression in MR-MSC group (124.0 +/- 5.8) and MR-MNC group (118.4 +/- 4.4) were also significantly higher than in PBS group (93.3 +/- 3.9, P < 0.05) while MMP2/TIMP1 ratios in MR-MSC group (0.6 +/- 0.1) and MR-MNC group (0.6 +/- 0.1) were significantly lower than that in PBS group (4.2 +/- 0.2, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Magnetically labeled MR-MSC and MR-MNC homed to heart post myocardial infarction and reduced infarct size, improved cardiac function. MR-MSC is superior to MR-MNC on improving cardiac function.</p>
