Stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes after bone marrow and heart transplantation

Abstract: Cardiomyocytes are a stable cell population with only limited potential for renewal after injury. Tissue regeneration may be due to infiltration of stem cells, which differentiate into cardiomyocytes. We have analysed the influx of stem cells in the heart of patients who received either a gender-mismatched BMT (male donor to female recipient) or a gender-mismatched cardiac transplant (HTX; female donor to male recipient). The proportion of infiltrating cells was determined by Y-chromosome in situ hybridization… Show more

“…Acute myocardial infarction (MI) initiates a cascade of events that result in mobilization of stem/primitive cell subpopulations from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood (PB) following the gradient of chemoattractant cytokines such as SDF-1α, LIF and HGF [6-11]. Furthermore, there is a growing line of evidence that cardiomyocytes undergo continuous renewal, maintained at least in part by BM-derived stem cells (BMSCs) [12-15], accounting for up to 45% of their total number by the age of 75 [16]. Because of their known contribution to cardiomyocyte renewal and the ease with which they can be isolated and subsequently delivered, BM-derived stem cells (BMSCs) represent an attractive cell population for myocardial regenerative therapies.…”

“…While the mechanisms of cardiomyocyte renewal are poorly understood, this process is capable of renewing up to half of the cardiomyocytes during the normal life span [12]. In rodents, this phenomenon is dynamic, responds to myocardial injury [13], and is maintained, at least in part, by BM-derived cells [14]. AMI initiates innate reparatory mechanisms through which non-HSCs are mobilized from BM into peripheral blood (PB) and chemoattracted to the ischemic myocardium, a process that can potentially contribute to myocardial regeneration as we and others have demonstrated [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
