Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We tested the hypothesis that simultaneous transgenic overexpression of a select quartet of growth factors activates diverse signaling pathways for mobilization and participation of various stem/progenitor cells for cardiogenesis in the infarcted heart. Human IGF-1, VEGF, SDF-1α and HGF plasmids were synthesized and transfected into skeletal myoblasts (SMs) from young male wild type or GFP<sup>+</sup> transgenic rats (<sup>Trans</sup>SMs). Overexpression of growth factors in transfected SM (<sup>Trans</sup>SM) was confirmed by RT-PCR, Western blotting and fluorescence immunostaining. Using our custom-made growth factor array and Western blotting, multiple angiogenic and pro-survival factors were detected in <sup>Trans</sup>SMs including SFRP-1,2,4,5, MMP-3 &9, connexin-43, netrin-1, Nos-2, Wnt-3, Akt, MAPK42/44, Stat3, NFκB, HIF-1α, and PKC. Conditioned medium (CM) from TransSMs was cytoprotective for cardiomyocytes under anoxia (<i>p</i><0.01 <i>vs</i> CM from <sup>Nat</sup>SMs), promoted higher trans-well migration of human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells (223.3±1.8; <i>p</i><0.01) and in vitro tube formation (47.8±1.9, <i>p</i><0.01). Intramyocardial transplantation of 1.5x10<sup>6</sup> TransSMs (groups-3) in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction induced extensive mobilization of cMet<sup>+</sup>, ckit<sup>+</sup>, ckit<sup>+</sup>/GATA<sup>+</sup>, CXCR4<sup>+</sup>, CD44<sup>+</sup>, CD31<sup>+</sup>, and CD59<sup>+</sup> cells into the infarcted heart on day 7 and improved integration of <sup>Trans</sup>SMs in the heart (<i>p</i><0.05 <i>vs</i> group-2). Extensive neomyogenesis and angiogenesis in groups-3 (<i>p</i><0.01 <i>vs</i> group-2) with resultant attenuation of infarct size (<i>p</i><0.01 <i>vs</i> group-2) and improvement in global heart function (<i>p</i><0.01 <i>vs</i> group-2) was observed at 8 weeks.In conclusion, simultaneous activation of diverse signaling pathways by overexpression of multiple growth factors caused massive mobilization and homing of stem/progenitor cells from peripheral circulation, the bone marrow and the heart for accelerated repair of the infarcted myocardium.
