We compared the therapeutic potential of purified mobilized human CD34+ cells with that of mobilized total mononuclear cells (tMNCs) for the preservation/recovery of myocardial tissue integrity and function after myocardial infarction (MI).
CD34+ cells were purified from peripheral blood tMNCs of healthy volunteers by magnetic cell sorting after a 5-day administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), 5x10(5) CD34+ cells/kg, 5x10(5) tMNCs/kg (low-dose MNCs [loMNCs]), or a higher dose of tMNCs (hiMNCs) containing 5x10(5) CD34+ cells/kg was transplanted intramyocardially 10 minutes after the induction of MI in athymic nude rats. Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed that moderate to severe hemorrhagic MI on day 3 was more frequent in the hiMNC group than in the PBS and CD34+ cell groups. Immunostaining for human-specific CD45 revealed abundant distribution of hematopoietic/inflammatory cells derived from transplanted cells in the ischemic myocardium of the hiMNC group. Capillary density on day 28 was significantly greater in the CD34+ cell group (721.1+/-19.9 per 1 mm2) than in the PBS, loMNC, and hiMNC groups (384.7+/-11.0, 372.5+/-14.1, and 497.5+/-24.0 per 1 mm2) (P<0.01). Percent fibrosis area on day 28 was less in the CD34(+) cell group (15.6+/-0.9%) than in the PBS, loMNC, and hiMNC groups (26.3+/-1.2%, 27.5+/-1.8%, and 22.2+/-1.8%) (P<0.05). Echocardiographic fractional shortening on day 28 was significantly higher in the CD34+ cell group (30.3+/-0.9%) than in the PBS, loMNC, and hiMNC groups (22.7+/-1.5%, 23.4+/-1.1%, and 24.9+/-1.7%; P<0.05). Echocardiographic regional wall motion score was better preserved in the CD34+ cell group (21.8+/-0.5) than in the PBS, loMNC, and hiMNC groups (25.4+/-0.4, 24.9+/-0.4, and 24.1+/-0.6; P<0.05).
CD34+ cells exhibit superior efficacy for preserving myocardial integrity and function after MI than unselected circulating MNCs.
我们比较了纯化的动员人CD34+细胞与动员的总单核细胞(tMNCs)对心肌梗死后(MI)心肌组织完整性和功能的保存/恢复的治疗潜力。
在给予健康志愿者粒细胞集落刺激因子5天后,通过磁性细胞分选从外周血tMNCs中纯化CD34+细胞。在无胸腺裸鼠诱导MI 10分钟后,将磷酸盐缓冲盐水(PBS)、5×10⁵ CD34+细胞/kg、5×10⁵ tMNCs/kg(低剂量MNCs [loMNCs])或含有5×10⁵ CD34+细胞/kg的更高剂量tMNCs(hiMNCs)心肌内注射。苏木精和伊红染色显示,与PBS和CD34+细胞组相比,hiMNC组在第3天中度至重度出血性MI更常见。对人特异性CD45进行免疫染色显示,hiMNC组缺血心肌中移植细胞来源的造血/炎症细胞分布丰富。第28天时,CD34+细胞组的毛细血管密度(每1平方毫米721.1±19.9个)显著高于PBS、loMNC和hiMNC组(每1平方毫米分别为384.7±11.0、372.5±14.1和497.5±24.0个)(P<0.01)。第28天时,CD34⁺细胞组的纤维化面积百分比(15.6±0.9%)低于PBS、loMNC和hiMNC组(分别为26.3±1.2%、27.5±1.8%和22.2±1.8%)(P<0.05)。第28天时,CD34+细胞组的超声心动图缩短分数(30.3±0.9%)显著高于PBS、loMNC和hiMNC组(分别为22.7±1.5%、23.4±1.1%和24.9±1.7%;P<0.05)。CD34+细胞组的超声心动图区域壁运动评分(21.8±0.5)比PBS、loMNC和hiMNC组(分别为25.4±0.4、24.9±0.4和24.1±0.6)保存更好(P<0.05)。
与未分选的循环MNCs相比,CD34+细胞在心肌梗死后保存心肌完整性和功能方面表现出更高的疗效。
