Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been considered a promising therapeutic approach to cardiovascular disease. This study intends to compare the effect of BMSCs through a standard active cardiac support device (ASD) and intravenous injection on global myocardial injury induced by isoproterenol. BMSCs were cultured in vitro, and the transplanted cells were labeled with a fluorescent dye CM-Dil. Isoproterenol (ISO) was injected into the rats; two weeks later, the labeled cells were transplanted into ISO-induced heart-injury rats through the tail vein or ASD device for five days. The rats were sacrificed on the first day, the third day, and the fifth day after transplantation to observe the distribution of cells in the myocardium by fluorescence microscopy. The hemodynamic indexes of the left ventricle were measured before sacrificing. H&E staining and Masson’s trichrome staining were used to evaluate the cardiac histopathology. In the ASD groups, after three days of transplantation, there were many BMSCs on the epicardial surface, and after five days of transplantation, BMSCs were widely distributed in the ventricular muscle. But in the intravenous injection group, there were no labeled-BMSCs distributed. In the ASD+BMSCs-three days treated group and ASD+BMSCs -five days-treated group, left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise (+dP/dt), the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure decline (-dP/dt) increased compared with model group and intravenous injection group (P<0.05). By giving BMSCs through ASD device, cells can rapidly and widely distribute in the myocardium and significantly improve heart function.

This study explores the mechanism of miR-36a in the hypoxia-reoxygenation process and its engagement in the repair of cardiomyocytes via modulating bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Thirty-two patients with myocardial injury were enrolled after hospitalization. Meanwhile, 32 normal patients were recruited as controls. The miR-36a levels were quantified via ELISA. BMSCs were isolated and cultured. The qRT-PCR was employed to determine the expression of genes involved in myocardial injury and hypoxia-reoxygenation, including KGF, SpB, SpA, CK18, SpC and Occludin. Specific mRNAs related to myocardial damage repair were also measured after miR-36a was knockdown and overexpressed during the process of repair induction. The expression of miR-36a in 32 patients with myocardial injury was elevated compared to that in controls. BMSCs can quantitatively retard the expression of hypoxia-reoxygenation-related genes. The knockdown of miR-36a can significantly enhance the expression of hypoxia-reoxygenation-related genes which were engaged in myocardial injury. miR-36a overexpression can significantly impede the expression of the hypoxia-reoxygenation-related genes which were involved in myocardial injury. miR-36a contributes to the repair of myocardial injury via functionally enhancing BMSCs’ function and interfering with the hypoxia-reoxygenation process.

Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have therapeutic potential for tissue injury, intolerance and poor cell viability limit their reparative capability. Therefore, we examined the impact of bone marrow-derived MSCs, in which heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was transiently overexpressed, on the repair of an ischemic myocardial injury. When MSCs and HO-1-overexpressed MSCs (MSCHO-1) were exposed to serum deprivation/hypoxia or H2O2-induced oxidative stress, MSCHO-1 exhibited increased resistance to cell apoptosis compared with MSCs (17 ± 1 vs. 30 ± 2%, P < 0.05) and were markedly resistant to cell death (2 ± 1 vs. 32 ± 2%, P < 0.05). Under these conditions, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production was 2.1-fold greater in MSCHO-1 than in MSCs. Pretreatment of MSCs and MSCHO-1 with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway inhibitors such as LY-294002 (50 μM) or wortmannin (100 nM) significantly decreased VEGF production. In a rat infarction model with MSCs or MSCHO-1 (5 × 106 ± 0.1 × 106 cells/rat) transplantation, the number of TdT-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling-positive cells was significantly lower in the MSCHO-1 group than in the MSC group (12.1 ± 1.0 cells/field vs. 26.5 ± 2.6, P < 0.05) on the 4th day after cell transplantation. On the 28th day, increased capillary density associated with decreased infarction size was observed in the MSCHO-1 group (1,415 ± 47/mm2 with 21.6 ± 2.3%) compared with those in the MSCs group (1,215 ± 43/mm2 with 28.2 ± 2.3%, P < 0.05), although infarction size relative to area at risk was not different in each group at 24 h after transplantation. These results demonstrate that MSCHO-1 exhibit markedly enhanced anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative capabilities compared with MSCs, thus contributing to improved repair of ischemic myocardial injury through cell survival and VEGF production associated with the PI 3-kinase/Akt pathway.
