Treatment effects of bone marrow stem cell mobilization on rat ischemic myocardium

Objective:To investigate the potential of differentiating into myocytes of the granulocyte colony stimulating factor(G CSF) and Simvastatin mobilized bone marrow stem cells. Methods:After injection of isoprenaline(ISO) interaperitoneally to develop acute ischemic model, rat bone marrow stem cells were mobilized by G CSF and dextran sulfate sodium salt and migrated to the site of myocardial infarction. Hearts were harvested from 24 hours to 24 weeks after administration of ISO for histopathological examination.Immunohistochemisty?HE and VG stain were used to detect infiltration of CD34 + monocytes and the regeneration of myocytes and the inhibition of fibroatrophy of ischemic myocardium.Results:24 hours after administration of ISO,a large amount of infiltrative monocytes and regenerative myocytes which were CD34 positive expression could be found in the infarct zones of the G CSF treatment group,while majority of the infiltrative inflammatory cells in control group were neutrophils and there was no infiltrative cells and myocytes which were CD34 positive expression,4 weeks after administration of ISO,there were a plenty of scar in control group,but not in the treatment group.Conclusion:Rat bone marrow stem cells were mobilized by G CSF and Simvastatin,and migrated to the site of myocardial infarction,and differentiated into viable cardiomyocytes or vascular endothelial.The heart function remarkably was improved by regeneration of myocytes,inhibition of fibroatrophy and protection of ischemic myocardial structure.
