| Research Abstract |
Cell transplantation offers the promise in the restoration of ventricular function after an extensive myocardial infarction, but the optimal cell therapy remains controversial. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in inducing angiogenesis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may have potential for differentiation to several types of cells, including myocytes. We showed that transplantation of VEGF-expressing MSCs could effectively treat acute myocardial infarction (MI) by providing enhanced cardioprotection, followed by angiogenic effects in salvaging ischemic myocardium. Moreover, to examine the effects of microbubble destruction with ultrasound (MB) combined with bone marrow derived mononuclear cell transplantation (BMT) into ischaemic tissues in rat hind limb ischaemia. MB treatment increased vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA as assessed by real time polymerase chain reaction. At four weeks, the MB group had increases in laser Doppler blood flow index, angiographically detectable collateral vessels, and capillary to muscle fiber ratio in ischaemic limbs compared with the vehicle treated group. Secondly, rats were allocated to vehicle treatment, BMT (5×10(6) cells/rat), or a combination of MB and BMT (MB+BMT) at seven days after hind limb ischaemia. BMT treatment significantly increased LDBFI, angiographic score, and capillary to muscle fiber ratio compared with vehicle treatment. MB may be a useful technique to enhance BMT induced neovascularisation and improve the effect of cell therapy.
