Abstract: World-wide, myocardial infarction and heart failure are still the leading causes of deaths and use up a great deal of money. In myocardial infarction there frequently incur cardiomyocyte injuries. Naturally, resident cardiomyocytes will undergo proliferation and contribute to the increasing and repairing of myocardium post infarction. Unfortunately, this capacity of regeneration is very limited. Moreover, injured cardiomyocytes are replaced by scar tissues. Pharmacotherapy with ACE-Inhibitors and β blockers can give some clinical improvement, but can not inhibit the loss of cardiomyocytes. Nowadays, stem cell therapy has proclaimed some promising benefits. Among all the introduced stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells are the most popular since they have the capability to differentiate and then to develop into cardiomyocytes, maintain the myocardial thickness, reduce heart remodeling of the non infarct myocardium, improve heart function, and can be used from allogenic donors. Besides that, these cells are easier to obtain and isolate, are genetically stable, have the capacity for angiogenesis, homing to the injured areas or inflammation, and supplying growth factors and cytokines for tissue repair. Key words: stem cell, cardiomyocyte, transplantation, donor.     Abstrak: Infark miokard dan gagal jantung masih merupakan penyebab kematian utama di dunia dan menyerap biaya pengobatan yang tinggi. Pada infark miokard sering terjadi cedera kardiomiosit. Secara alamiah kardiomiosit residen akan mengalami proliferasi dan mengambil bagian dalam meningkatkan dan memulihkan miokard pasca infark. Kapasitas regenerasi ini sangat terbatas. Selain itu kardiomiosit yang cedera akan digantikan oleh jaringan ikat. Farmakoterapi dengan penghambat ACE dan β bloker dapat memberikan perbaikan klinis, tetapi tidak dapat menghambat kehilangan kardiomiosit. Dewasa ini terapi sel punca telah mengumandangkan manfaat yang menjanjikan. Dari berbagai sel punca yang dikemukakan, sel punca mesensimal yang paling diminati oleh karena kemampuannya berdiferensiasi dan berkembang menjadi kardiomiosit, mempertahankan ketebalan miokard, menurunkan remodeling jantung pada bagian yang tidak infark, memperbaiki fungsi jantung. dan dapat diambil dari donor alogenik. Disamping itu, sel-sel ini lebih mudah diperoleh dan diisolasi, stabil secara genetik, berkapasitas angiogenesis, homing ke tempat cedera atau inflamasi, dan memasok growth factors dan sitokin untuk perbaikan jaringan. Kata kunci: sel punca, kardiomiosit, transplantasi, donor.

Ischemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction (MI), is the primary cause of death throughout the US. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is used to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells (HPSC) to improve cardiac recovery after MI. However, poor-mobilization to G-CSF is observed in 25% of patients and 10-20% of healthy donors. Therefore, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms regulating G-CSF-induced cardiac repair may offer novel approaches for strengthening stem cell-mediated therapeutics. Our previous studies have identified an essential role of Plg in HPSC mobilization from bone marrow (BM) in response to G-CSF. Here, we investigate the role of Plg in G-CSF-stimulated cardiac repair after MI. Our data show that G-CSF significantly improves cardiac tissue repair including increasing neovascularization in the infarct area, and improving ejection fraction and LV internal diameter by echocardiogram in wild-type mice. No improvement in tissue repair and heart function by G-CSF is observed in Plg -/- mice, indicating that Plg is required for G-CSF-regulated cardiac repair after MI. To investigate whether Plg regulates HPSC recruitment to ischemia area, bone marrow transplantion (BMT) with EGFP-expressing BM cells was performed to visualize BM-derived stem cells in infarcted tissue. Our data show that G-CSF dramatically increases recruitment of GFP+ cells (by 16 fold) in WT mice but not in Plg -/- mice, suggesting that Plg is essential for HPSC recruitment from BM to the lesion sites after MI. In further studies, we investigated the role of Plg in the regulation of SDF-1/CXCR-4 axis, a major regulator for HPSC recruitment. Our results show that G-CSF significantly increases CXCR-4 expression in infarcted area in WT mice. While G-CSF-induced CXCR-4 expression is markedly decreased (80%) in Plg -/- mice, suggesting Plg may regulate CXCR-4 expression during HSPC recruitment to injured heart. Interestingly, Plg does not affect SDF-1 expression in response to G-CSF treatment. Taken together, our findings have identified a critical role of Plg in HSPC recruitment to the lesion site and subsequent tissue repair after MI. Thus, targeting Plg may offer a new therapeutic strategy to improve G-CSF-mediated cardiac repair after MI.

Ischemic heart disease and myocardial infarction remain leading causes of mortality worldwide. Existing myocardial infarction treatments are incapable of fully repairing and regenerating the infarcted myocardium. Stem cell transplantation therapy has demonstrated promising results in improving heart function following myocardial infarction. However, poor cell survival and low engraftment at the harsh and hostile environment at the site of infarction limit the regeneration potential of stem cells. Preconditioning with various physical and chemical factors, as well as genetic modification and cellular reprogramming, are strategies that could potentially optimize stem cell transplantation therapy for clinical application. In this review, we discuss the most up-to-date findings related to utilizing preconditioned stem cells for myocardial infarction treatment, focusing mainly on preconditioning with hypoxia, growth factors, drugs, and biological agents. Furthermore, genetic manipulations on stem cells, such as the overexpression of specific proteins, regulation of microRNAs, and cellular reprogramming to improve their efficiency in myocardial infarction treatment, are discussed as well.

Ischemic injury to the heart causes cardiomyocyte and supportive tissue death that result in adverse remodeling and formation of scar tissue at the site of injury. The dying cardiac tissue secretes a variety of cytokines and chemokines that trigger an inflammatory response and elicit the recruitment and activation of cardiac immune cells to the injury site. Cell-based therapies for cardiac repair have enhanced cardiac function in the injured myocardium, but the mechanisms remain debatable. In this review, we will focus on the interactions between the adoptively transferred stem cells and the post-ischemic environment, including the active components of the immune/inflammatory response that can mediate cardiac outcome after ischemic injury. In particular, we highlight how the adaptive immune cell response can mediate tissue repair following cardiac injury. Several cell-based studies have reported an increase in pro-reparative T cell subsets after stem cell transplantation. Paracrine factors secreted by stem cells polarize T cell subsets partially by exogenous ubiquitination, which can induce differentiation of T cell subset to promote tissue repair after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the mechanism behind the polarization of different subset after stem cell transplantation remains poorly understood. In this review, we will summarize the current status of immune cells within the heart post-MI with an emphasis on T cell mediated reparative response after ischemic injury.

Abstract Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are among the most common cell types to be used and studied for cardiac regeneration. Low survival rate and difficult retention of delivered MSCs in infarcted heart remain as major challenges in the field. Co-delivery of stem cell-derived exosomes (Exo) is expected to improve the recruitment and survival of transplanted MSCs. Methods Exo was isolated from MSCs and delivered to an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rat heart through intramyocardial injection with or without intravenous infusion of atrovastatin-pretreated MSCs on day 1, day 3, or day 7 after infarction. Echocardiography was performed to evaluate cardiac function. Histological analysis and ELISA test were performed to assess angiogenesis, SDF-1, and inflammatory factor expression in the infarct border zone. The anti-apoptosis effect of Exo on MSCs was evaluated using flow cytometry and Hoechst 33342 staining assay. Results We found that intramyocardial delivery of Exo followed by MSC transplantation (in brief, Exo+MSC treatment) into MI hearts further improved cardiac function, reduced infarct size, and increased neovascularization when compared to controls treated with Exo or MSCs alone. Of note, comparing the three co-transplanting groups, intramyocardially injecting Exo 30 min after AMI combined with MSCs transplantation at day 3 after AMI achieved the highest improvement in heart function. The observed enhanced heart function is likely due to an improved microenvironment via Exo injection, which is exemplified as reduced inflammatory responses and better MSC recruitment and retention. Furthermore, we demonstrated that pre-transplantation injection of Exo enhanced survival of MSCs and reduced their apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions Combinatorial delivery of exosomes and stem cells in a sequential manner effectively reduces scar size and restores heart function after AMI. This approach may represent as an alternative promising strategy for stem cell-based heart repair and therapy.
