Effect of stem cell transplantation on expression of SMA, bFGF and VEGF in myocardium of dogs with ischemic mitral regurgitation / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze effect of stem cell transplantation on the expression of smooth muscle actin (SMA), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the myocardium of dogs with ischemic mitral regurgitation.Methods 24 healthy male experiment dogs were selected, 6 were collected randondy as normal group, the others were used to construct mitral regurgitation model.After that, the modelized dogs were divided into three groups, 5 dogs in model group, 6 dogs in experiment group and 6 in control group.The experimental group were given 2 mL stem cells suspension to ischemic myocardial, control group was infused without stem cells in DMEM medium, and then the SMA, bFGF and VEGF expression levels of myocardial tissues in each groups were detected and analyzed.ResuIts Compared with control group and model group, the heart function of experiment group were improved more obviously, such as cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) increased significantly (P<0.05).Myocardialα-SMA were significantly lower (P<0.05).bFGF contents in myocardial tissue increased significantly (P<0.05).The content of VEGF in myocardial tissue significantly increased (P<0.05).ConcIusions Stem cell transplantation can inhibit the expression of SMA in myocardium of ischemic mitral regurgitation, and promote the expression of bFGF and VEGF, has a better effect on heart function.
