Abstract (original English)

Background We investigated whether shock wave (SW)-pretreated autologous adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) seeded in the cell-sheet scaffold (CSS) could inhibit left ventricular (LV) remodeling and improve LV ejection fraction (LVEF) in old myocardial infarction (MI). Methods Mini-pigs ( n =20) were divided into group 1 (sham-operated control), group 2 (old MI), group 3 (old MI + autologous ADMSCs/1.0×10 7 in CSS on LV myocardium), and group 4 [old MI + SW (0.12 mJ/mm 2 for total 140 shots)-pretreated ADMSCs in CSS on LV myocardium]. Treatments started on day 28 after MI induction. In-vivo and in-vitro studies were conducted. Results Cell viability/relative mitochondria DNA expression/mitochondrial cytochrome C/adenosine triphosphate concentration in ADMCSs and protein expressions of angiogenesis factors [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I-IV/oxygen consumption rate] were higher in group 4 than in group 3 ( P Conclusion SW pretreatment of ADMSCs seeded in CSS offered significant benefits in preserving LV performance and ameliorating LV remodeling in mini-pigs with old MI.
