Objective To investigate effects of the autologous bone mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) enriched by the small intestinal submucosa (SIS) film implantation on the myocardial structure, cardiac function, and compensator y circulation after myocardial infarction in the goats. Methods Sixteen black goats were selected and divided randomly into the control group (n=8)and the experimental group (n=8). The chronic myocardial infarction models were made by the ligation of the far end of the left anterior desc ending coronary artery. At the same time, MSCs were aspired from the thigh
bone of the goats in the experimental group. MSCs were isolated by the centrifu gation through a percoll step gradient and purified by the plating culture and depletion of the non-adherent cells. Primary MSCs were cultured in the DMEM me
dium supplemented with the fetal bovine serum in vitro. After that, the cultures were labeled by 5- BrdU. The active cells were transplanted into the SIS film. Six weeks after the ligation, the MSCs-SIS film was implanted by its being sutured onto the infarction area; whereas, the control group underwent a shamoperation. In both groups, echocardiographic measurements were performed before infarction, 6 weeks after infarction and 6 weeks after the MSC-collagen mplantion, respectively, to assess the myocardial structure and ca rdiac function. The left coronary artery angiography was performed with the digi tal subtraction angiography. Results In an assessment of the left ventricular function, at 6 weeks after operation, t he stroke volume and the ejection fraction of the control group and the experim ental group were 42.81±4.91, 37.06±4.75 ml and 59.20%±5.41%, 44.56%±4.23%, respectively (P lt;0.05). The enddisatolic volume and the endsystolic volume of the control group and the experimental group were 72.55±8.13, 83.31±8.61 ml and 29.75±5.98, 46.25±6.68 ml, respectively (P lt;0.05). The maximal velocity of peak E of contral group and experimental group were 54.8
5±6.35 cm/s and 43.14±4.81cm/s (P lt;0.01); and the maximal velocity of peak A o f control group and experimental grouop were 52.33±6.65 cm/s and 56.91±6.34 cm/s (P gt;0.05). Echocowdiogr aphy sho wing a distinctly dilatation of left ventricle with the ventricular dyskinesia i n contral group, but without the ventricular dyskinesia in experimental group. T
he selective-coronary evngiography revealed that the obvious compensatory circu l ation established between the anterior descending branch and the left circumflex branch in the experimental group. Conclusion Implantation of the autologus MSCs enriched by the SIS film can prevent dilatation of the left ventricular chamber and can improve the contractile ability of the myocardium, cardiac function, and collateral perfusion.
