  • The Short and Medium Term Effect on Myocardial Contractile Force after Implantation of Autologous Endothelial Progenitor Cells

    Objective To study the short and medium term effect of myocardial contractile force by implantation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in the myocardial infarction model. Methods Hundred and twenty SD rats were equally and randomly divided into experimental group and control group (60 rats in each group). Acute myocardial infarction model was created by ligation of LAD. Autologous EPCs were purified from peripheral blood then implanted into the acute myocardial infarct site via topical injection. IMDM were used in control group. Specimens and muscle strip were harvested at 3, 6 weeks, 6, 8 and 12 months after EPCs implantation for contractile force study and to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and Ⅷ factor by immunohistology and video image digital analysis system. Results The expression of VEGF, bFGF and the microvessel counts in experimental group were much higher than those of control group(P〈 0.01) at 3, 6 weeks and 6 months after transplantation. The contractile force in experimental group was better than that in control group(P〈0.01) at the same time. But from 8 months after implantation, the contractile force and so on were not up in the experimental group. Conclusion EPCs, after being implanted into infarct myocardium, shows the ability of improvement of the contractile performance in infarcted myocardium by means of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis and the medium term results are persistent.
