目的:探讨整合素连接激酶(ILK)修饰的骨髓间充质干细胞(MSCs)对心肌梗死后心脏心功能的影响。方法:取大鼠骨髓体外分离扩增培养MSCs,分别用ILK、ILK-siRNA及对照GFP腺病毒转染MSCs。结扎大鼠心脏左前降支1h后,分别将GFP-MSCs、ILK-MSCs、ILK-siRNA-MSCs多点注射到大鼠心肌梗死区周边,对照组注射等量PBS。结果:细胞移植4d后与GFP-MSCs移植组相比,ILK-MSCs组存活细胞数目明显增多,而ILKsiRNA-MSCs移植组存活细胞明显减少(P〈0.05)。细胞移植3周后与GFP-MSCs移植组相比,ILK-MSCs组新生血管数目明显增多,且胶原蛋白沉积减少,梗死面积明显缩小,心功能各项指标明显改善(P〈0.05);而ILK-siRNA-MSCs移植组新生血管数目明显减少,胶原蛋白沉积增多,梗死面积明显增加,心功能各项指标明显恶化(P〈0.05)。结论:ILK增加MSCs存活率、促进梗死后心脏血管新生,从而抑制心室重构,改善心功能。
Objective: To investigate whether intergrin-linked kinase (ILK) transduced by MSCs can im- prove heart function after heart infraction. Methods: MSCs were acquired from the bone marrow of adult rats. The ceils were isolated, purified, cultured, and transfeeted with Adv-ILK, Adv- ILK-siRNA, and Adv-GFP respectively. 1 × 106 ILK-MSCs, GFP-MSCs, ILK-siRNA-MSCs or PBS was respectively injected into rat hearts 1 h intramyoeardially after myocardial infarction. Results: It was observed that ILK-overexpressed MSCs increased MSCs survival at 4 the end of days and angiogenesis at the end of 3 weeks after transplantation into infraeted myocardium as compared with GFP-MSCs group and ILK-SiRNA-MSCs group. This enhanced response was as- sociated with attenuated left ventricular (LV) chamber dilation, reduced LV fibrosis, decreased infarct size and improved LV function. Conclusion: ILK modification with MSCs increases MSCs survival and angiogenesis, and preserves cardiac {unction and inhibits remodeling.
