Cardiosphere-Derived Cells Require Endoglin for Paracrine-Mediated Angiogenesis
Clinical trials of stem cell therapy to treat ischemic heart disease primarily use heterogeneous stem cell populations. Small benefits occur via paracrine mechanisms that include stimulating angiogenesis, and increased understanding of these mechanisms would help to improve patient outcomes. Cardiosphere-derived-cells (CDCs) are an example of these heterogeneous stem cell populations, cultured ...
متن کاملSca-1+ Cardiosphere-Derived Cells Are Enriched for Isl1-Expressing Cardiac Precursors and Improve Cardiac Function after Myocardial Injury
BACKGROUND Endogenous cardiac progenitor cells are a promising option for cell-therapy for myocardial infarction (MI). However, obtaining adequate numbers of cardiac progenitors after MI remains a challenge. Cardiospheres (CSs) have been proposed to have cardiac regenerative properties; however, their cellular composition and how they may be influenced by the tissue milieu remains unclear. ME...
متن کاملMetformin improves cardiac function in a nondiabetic rat model of post-MI heart failure.
Metformin is the first choice drug for the treatment of patients with diabetes, but its use is debated in patients with advanced cardiorenal disease. Epidemiological data suggest that metformin may reduce cardiac events, in patients both with and without heart failure. Experimental evidence suggests that metformin reduces cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. It is unknown whether metformin impr...
متن کاملTransplantation of Murine Embryonic Stem Cell-derived Cardiomyocytes Improves Cardiac Function in the Infarcted Heart
Introduction Embryonic stem cells (ESC) can be robustly induced to differentiate into cells of cardiac lineage making them a potential source of transplantable cells for myocardial regeneration. However conventional differentiation methods lead to low yields of murine ESC-derived cardiomyocytes (ESC-CM), making it difficult to perform in vivo studies. Furthermore, low enrichment of CM leads to ...
