Abstract BackgroundHuman adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are ideal candidates for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), due to their favorable availability and regenerative potential. However, in vivo studies showed that ASCs are not resilient at the infarcted area, for a shortage of blood and oxygen supply. Material and methodsTo solve the problem of living in the hypoxic environment, we accommodated ASCs within the hypoxic condition. To enhance the capillary system, we combined the hypoxic pretreated ASCs (HP-ASCs) with cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMNCs), which have a great potential for neovascularization. We hypothesized that this combination system would improve the transplantation efficiency. ResultsIn vitro study showed that HP-ASCs had a wide range of paracrine function, with the incretion growth factors and their receptors, which would support the cell survivals. In addition, HP-ASCs also gained potentials in hypoxic adaptation (increased expression of HO-1 and SDF-1), as well as homing and immigrating abilities (CXCR4, ICAM-1 and ICAM-2). In vivo studies showed that, 30 days after transplantation in AMI rats, the HP-ASCs group had a better improvement in cardiac function; reduction of the infarct size; and decrease of ASCs death than the other groups (HP-ASCs > HP-ASCs + CBMNCs ≧ CBMNCs > PBS) (p<0.05). However, the combined group of HP-ASCs and CBMNCs had more significant angiogenesis than the other groups (HP-ASCs + CBMNCs > CBMNCs > HP-ASCs > PBS) (p <0.05).ConclusionsHP-ASCs alone had a greater potential in improving cardiac function in AMI rats. However, the combination of HP-ASCs and CBMNCs had a better result in angiogenesis.

Abstract BackgroundHuman adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are ideal candidates for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), due to their favorable availability and regenerative potential. However, in vivo studies showed that ASCs are not resilient at the infarcted area, for a shortage of blood and oxygen supply. Hypoxic pretreatment was proven to be an effective way to enhance cell survival in ischemic atmosphere. Moreover, co-transplantation of stem cells was another promising strategy to improve cardiac function after transplantation. So, we hypothesized that hypoxic pretreated ASCs combined with proangiogenic cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMNCs) would promote treatment efficacy after co-transplantation.MethodsASCs extracted from male volunteer were preconditioned in hypoxic condition (HP-ASC) for 24h, and total RNA were extracted after that. Gene expressions were compared between HP-ASC and ASC. Then, we transplanted stem cells to female Wistar rats which divided into different groups: (1) HP-ASCs group (n=10, 1x106ASCs); (2) HP-ASCs + CBMNCs group (n=10, 0.5×106 ASCs+0.5×106 CBMNCs); (3) CBMNCs group (n=10, 1×106 ASCs); (4) Control group (n=10, 40μL PBS); (5) Sham group (n=10). Echocardiogram was performed before (0d) and after (30d) after cell transplantation. Hearts were harvested at 30d to analyze the infarct size, myocardium apoptosis, stem cells viability and angiogenesis. ResultsIn vitro study showed that HP-ASCs had a wide range of paracrine function, with the incretion growth factors and their receptors, which would support the cell survivals. In addition, HP-ASCs also gained potentials in hypoxic adaptation (increased expression of HO-1 and SDF-1), as well as homing and immigrating abilities (CXCR4, ICAM-1 and ICAM-2). In vivo studies showed that, 30 days after transplantation in AMI rats, the HP-ASCs group had a better improvement in cardiac function; reduction of the infarct size; and decrease of ASCs death than the other groups (HP-ASCs > HP-ASCs + CBMNCs ≧ CBMNCs > PBS) (p<0.05).

Abstract Background Regenerative therapies offer new approaches to improve cardiac function after acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Mobilization of stem cells and homing within the infarcted area have been identified as the key mechanisms for successful treatment. Application of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the least invasive way to mobilize stem cells while DDP4-inhibitor facilitates homing via stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha (SDF-1α). Dutogliptin, a novel DPP4 inhibitor, combined with stem cell mobilization using G-CSF significantly improved survival and reduced infarct size in a murine model. Purpose We initiated a phase II, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled efficacy and safety study (N=140) analyzing the effect of combined application of G-CSF and dutogliptin, a small molecule DPP-IV-inhibitor for subcutaneous use after acute myocardial infarction. Methods The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of dutogliptin (14 days) in combination with filgrastim (5 days) in patients with STEMI (EF &lt;45%) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Preliminary efficacy will be analyzed using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) to detect &gt;3.8% improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF). 140 subjects will be randomized to filgrastim plus dutogliptin or matching placebos. Results Baseline characteristics of the first 26 patients randomized (24 treated) in this trial reveal a majority of male patients (70.8%) and a medium age of 58.4 years (37 to 84). During the 2-week active treatment period, 35 adverse events occurred in 13 patients, with 4 rated as serious (hospitalization due to pneumonia N=3, hospitalization due to acute myocardial infarction N=1), and 1 adverse event was rated as severe (fatal pneumonia), 9 moderate, and 25 as mild. 6 adverse events were considered possibly related to the study medication, including cases of increased hepatic enzymes (N=3), nausea (N=1), subcutaneous node/suffusion (N=1) and syncope (N=1). Conclusions Our data demonstrate that the combined application of dutogliptin and G-CSF appears to be safe on the short term and feasible after acute myocardial infarction and may represent a new therapeutic option in future.
