Abstract:
:Cell-based therapy after myocardial infarction (MI) is a promising therapeutic option but the relevant cell subsets and dosage requirements are poorly defined. We hypothesized that cell therapy for myocardial infarction is improved by ex vivo expansion and high-dose transplantation of defined hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). Since beta-catenin promotes self-renewal of stem cells we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of beta-catenin-mediated ex vivo expansion of mouse HPCs in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion followed by intraarterial cell delivery. The impact of cell dose was determined by comparing a low-dose (LD, 5 x 10(5) cells) vs. a high-dose (HD, 1 x 10(7) cells) cell transplantation regimen of beta-catenin-HPCs. The impact of beta-catenin modification of HPCs was determined by comparing control-transduced HPCs (GFP-HPCs) vs. transgenic beta-catenin-HPCs. HD beta-catenin-HPCs significantly improved LV function and end-systolic and end-diastolic dimensions as compared to saline and LD beta-catenin-HPCs. Furthermore, while treatment with HD GFP-HPC resulted in a modest cardiac improvement the application of beta-catenin-HPCs was superior, resulting in a significant improvement in EF, FS and LVESD over saline and control GFP-HPC treatment. Although myocardial engraftment of HPCs was only transient, as determined by cell quantification after dye labeling, beta-catenin-HPC treatment significantly decreased infarct size, reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and increased capillary angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Ex vivo expanded HPCs improve cardiac function and remodeling post MI in a cell number- and beta-catenin-dependent manner.
