The horse leucocyte elastase inhibitor (HLEI), present in neutrophils, monocytes and bone marrow cells, is apparently a cytoplasmic protein which is not released from cells even in response to stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, phorbol ester, tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1 or elastin degradation products. Although no expression of the inhibitor was detected in neutrophils, both monocytes and bone marrow cells were efficient in its synthesis. Using a new expression vector pREST5d, recombinant inhibitor was produced in a large quantity in a soluble form, with a yield of 88 mg per 10 litres of E. coli culture. A two-step purification procedure, consisting of ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration, yielded 36 mg of the recombinant inhibitor of a purity higher than 95%, as judged by SDS/PAGE. The recombinant protein had physicochemical and kinetic properties indistinguishable from those of the natural one, including irreversible elastase inhibition with an association rate constant kass > 10(7) M-1s-1. Both proteins were eliminated from rat circulation at the same ratio, and within the first 20 min 70% of the protein was removed. Such a short half-life in the circulation suggests that local delivery of HLEI directly to lungs in the form of aerosol could be a more efficient therapeutic approach than its intravenous injection.

Recently, it was shown that interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has diverse stimulatory effects on different murine long bone marrow osteoclast precursors (OCPs) in vitro. In this study, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist deficient (Il1rn−/−) and wild-type (WT) mice were compared to investigate the effects of enhanced IL-1 signaling on the composition of OCPs in long bone, calvaria, vertebra, and jaw. Bone marrow cells were isolated from these sites and the percentage of early blast (CD31hi Ly-6C−), myeloid blast (CD31+ Ly-6C+), and monocyte (CD31− Ly-6Chi) OCPs was assessed by flow cytometry. At the time-point of cell isolation, Il1rn−/− mice showed no inflammation or bone destruction yet as determined by histology and microcomputed tomography. However, Il1rn−/− mice had an approximately two-fold higher percentage of OCPs in long bone and jaw marrow compared to WT. Conversely, vertebrae and calvaria marrow contained a similar composition of OCPs in both strains. Bone marrow cells were cultured with macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor of NfκB ligand (RANKL) on bone slices to assess osteoclastogenesis and on calcium phosphate-coated plates to analyze mineral dissolution. Deletion of Il1rn increased osteoclastogenesis from long bone, calvaria, and jaw marrows, and all Il1rn−/− cultures showed increased mineral dissolution compared to WT. However, osteoclast markers increased exclusively in Il1rn−/− osteoclasts from long bone and jaw. Collectively, these findings indicate that a lack of IL-1RA increases the numbers of OCPs in vivo, particularly in long bone and jaw, where rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis develop. Thus, increased bone loss at these sites may be triggered by a larger pool of OCPs due to the disruption of IL-1 inhibitors.

Bone marrow cells are used for cell therapy after myocardial infarction (MI) with promising results. However, cardiac persistence of transplanted cells is rather low. Here, we investigated strategies to increase the survival and cardiac persistence of mononuclear (MNC) and mesenchymal (MSC) bone marrow cells transplanted into infarcted rat hearts. MNC and MSC (male Fischer 344 rats) were treated with different doses of PDGF-BB prior to intramyocardial injection into border zone of MI (syngeneic females, permanent LAD ligation) and hearts were harvested after 5 days and 3 weeks. In additional experiments, untreated MNC and MSC were injected immediately after permanent or temporary LAD ligation and hearts were harvested after 48 h, 5 days, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks. DNA of the hearts was isolated and the number of donor cells was determined by quantitative real-time PCR with Y chromosome-specific primers. There was a remarkable though not statistically significant ( p = 0.08) cell loss of ~46% between 5 days and 3 weeks in the control group, which was completely inhibited by treatment with high dose of PDGF-BB. Forty-eight hours after reperfusion only 10% of injected MSC or 1% for MNC were found in the heart, decreasing to 1% for MSC and 0.5% for MNC after 6 weeks. These numbers were lower than after permanent LAD ligation for both MNC and MSC at all time points studied. Treatment with PDGF-BB seems to prevent loss of transplanted bone marrow cells at later times presumably by inhibition of apoptosis, while reperfusion of the occluded artery enhances cell loss at early times putatively due to enhanced early wash-out. Further investigations are needed to substantially improve the persistence and survival of grafted bone marrow cells in infarcted rat hearts, in order to fully explore the therapeutic potential of this novel treatment modality for myocardial repair.

Abstract Recent studies suggest that primitive stem cells derived from bone marrow (BM) possess greater functional plasticity that was expected previously. It has been shown that bone marrow stem cells (BMSC) promote repairing mechanisms within myocardium following ischemia/reperfusion models of myocardial infarction (MI). Although it remains unclear whether BMSC transdifferentiate into or just fuse with cardiomyocytes, hemodynamic improvement after intramyocardial BMSC injection as well as after G-CSF injection has been demonstrated. Here, we investigated the contribution of BMSC versus G-CSF administration in myocardial repair following MI. Ten weeks old C57BL/6J mice were irradiated and transplanted with green fluorescent protein (GFP) positive bone marrow cells. Three months later, these mice underwent ligation of left anterior descending branch (LAD) of coronary artery and subsequently divided into three groups. One group (n=7) received G-CSF administration at 200ug/kg for 10 consecutive days. Another group (n=9) was injected with GFP+ marrow cells directly into ischemic heart. The third group was held as control (n=7). One month after coronary ligation we found significant improvement in cardiac function determined as a cardiac output, maximum power and dP/dt, in the G-CSF group compared to control. We evaluated the phenotype of GFP+ cells within myocardium in each treatment group by 488 nm laser-scanning confocal miscroscopy (of whole heart and slides) 35 days after LAD ligation. We found no evidence of myocardial transdifferentiation or cardiomyocyte cell fusion. Instead GFP+ capillaries were present and exclusively located in infarct border zones in both the G-CSF and bone marrow implantation groups, confirmed by anti-factor VIII staining. G-CSF administration and to a lesser extent marrow injection resulted in improved post infarct cardiac function indices. This beneficial effect is not due to transdifferentiation but could be explained by marrow injected or G-CSF mobilized endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and/or cytokine mediated neo-vasculogenesis.

Abstract Experimental studies in animals demonstrate the ability of the bone marrow stem cells to differentiate in cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelium cells and smooth muscle cells. There is evidence that these cells can regenerate infarcted myocardium and induce myogenesis and angiogenesis. Clinical studies in humans suggest the feasibility and safety of the utilization of the stem cells to recovery the ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction. We report the first experience in Colombia using autologous bone marrow cells for cardiomyoplasty in isquemic heart disease. This report shows the two months follow-up of four patients, three with acute myocardial infarction of the anterior myocardial wall and one patient with severe chronic isquemic heart disease. Extensive myocardial damage demonstrated by absence of viability in scintigraphic images and ejection fraction less than 40%. The patients received an optimum postinfarction medical treatment, successful coronary percutaneous intervention (three patients) or direct intramyocardial injection (one patient) to transfer of autologous bone marrow cells mobilised with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor during five days. Demographics and results The exercise capacity improve importantly, evidenced by increase in contractility, the six minutes test, the treadmill exercise time and the functional capacity in METS. There were not changes in the myocardial perfusion at two months follow-up, there were not complications related to the cellular transplant or the utilization of the granulocyte-colony stimulating factor. This is the first experience in Colombia with the bone marrow cells and selective intracoronary transplantation for myocardial regeneration and angiogenesis. We observed functional recovery of the left ventricle, improvement in the exercise capacity without adverse effects or complications related to the therapy.
