A factor underlying late-phase arrhythmogenicity after cell therapy to the heart: global downregulation of connexin43 in the host myocardium after skeletal myoblast transplantation.
BACKGROUND Arrhythmia occurrence is a variable but serious concern of cell therapy for treating heart failure. Using a rat postinfarction chronic heart failure model, we compared skeletal myoblast (SMB) with bone marrow cell (BMC) injection to highlight donor cell-specific, late-phase arrhythmogenesis and the underlying factors. METHODS AND RESULTS SMBs or BMCs derived from male GFP-transgeni...
متن کاملSpontaneous and evoked intracellular calcium transients in donor-derived myocytes following intracardiac myoblast transplantation.
Skeletal myoblast transplantation is a potential treatment for congestive heart failure. To study the functional activity of both donor and host myocytes following transplantation, skeletal myoblasts expressing an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) transgene were transplanted into hearts of nontransgenic recipients, and changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were monito...
متن کاملMIR-206 regulates connexin43 expression during skeletal muscle development
Skeletal myoblast fusion in vitro requires the expression of connexin43 (Cx43) gap junction channels. However, gap junctions are rapidly downregulated after the initiation of myoblast fusion in vitro and in vivo. In this study we show that this downregulation is accomplished by two related microRNAs, miR-206 and miR-1, that inhibit the expression of Cx43 protein during myoblast differentiation ...
متن کاملEvaluation of frequency, type, and function of gap junctions between skeletal myoblasts overexpressing connexin43 and cardiomyocytes: relevance to cell transplantation.
Cell transplantation of skeletal myoblasts (SMs) is one possible treatment for repairing cardiac tissue after myocardial injury. However, inappropriate electrical coupling between grafted SMs and host cardiomyocytes may be responsible for the arrhythmias observed in clinical trials of SM transplantation. Whether functional gap junctions occur between the two cell types remains controversial. We...
متن کاملTransmural replacement of myocardium after skeletal myoblast grafting into the heart. Too much of a good thing?
Skeletal myoblasts form stable grafts in the heart and may improve myocardial performance after infarction. The current study compared the ability of different immortalized myoblast lines, or primary myoblast isolates, to form grafts in the normal or cryoinjured heart. With a constant dose of 6 x 10(6) cells, primary rat myoblasts and mouse C2C12 myoblasts formed similarly large skeletal muscle...
