Human mesenchymal stem cells as a gene delivery system to create cardiac pacemakers.
We tested the ability of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to deliver a biological pacemaker to the heart. hMSCs transfected with a cardiac pacemaker gene, mHCN2, by electroporation expressed high levels of Cs+-sensitive current (31.1+/-3.8 pA/pF at -150 mV) activating in the diastolic potential range with reversal potential of -37.5+/-1.0 mV, confirming the expressed current as I(f)-like. T...
متن کاملGenes, stem cells and biological pacemakers.
The advent of gene therapy and cell therapy has led to reconsideration of standard therapies for cardiac disease. One such area of reconsideration is that of the cardiac pacemaker, which has been the mainstay of treatment for high-degree heart block and sinoatrial node dysfunction. Over the past five years, gene therapy has been used to explore the overexpression of beta(2)-adrenergic receptors...
متن کاملGene Delivery to Mesenchymal Stem Cells
There is increasing trend in using recombinant stem cells as novel therapeutic candidates in different diseases. These studies encompass different applications from targeted homing of Mesenchymal Stromal (stem) Cells (MSC), to arming them with different cytokines. Resistance to transfection or transduction methods had urged researchers to look for better gene delivery alternates and optimizing ...
متن کاملHuman bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected with human insulin genes can secrete insulin stably.
Beta-cell replacement therapy by pancreatic islet transplantation has become a promising treatment for type 1 diabetes. However, the limited supply of human islet tissue prevents this therapy from being widely used to treat patients with type 1 diabetes. In order to obtain insulin-secreting cells, retrovirus vector pLNCX was used to transfer the human insulin gene into human bone marrow mesench...
متن کاملTracking Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplanted to Experimental Rabbit Model with Brain Trauma by MRI
Introduction Brain trauma is one of the most common causes of hospitalization, disability, and mortality of people aged 15 to 74 years in nowadays societies. On the other hand, nowadays, different categories of stem cells are used to treat different kinds of diseases. BM-MSCs, are center of scientific research because of their high differentiation and proliferation ability. Methods: Stem cel...
