Several laboratories have shown that collection of adult cardiac stem cells can be grown directly from myocardial tissue [1–7]. Expanded cells are multipotent and clonogenic [3–5]. Spherical aggregates of cells grown from heart biopsies, termed cardiospheres, self-assemble in suspension culture and are enriched in stemness [1, 6, 7]. Andersen et al., in work on neonatal murine heart tissue, used novel culture methods as a basis to question the cardiogenic potential of cardiosphere-cultured stem cells [8]. We contend that their sweeping conclusions are not applicable to studies using established methods [1, 2, 6, 7]. To confirm the cardiogenic nature of human cardiospherederived cells (CDCs) in vivo, we evaluated the ability of CDCs to engraft and form new cardiomyocytes after transplantation into infarcted severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. Immunostaining for human nuclear antigen (1: 50, Chemicon MAB1281, Millipore, Billerica, MA, http://www. millipore. com/) and lentivirally mediated green fluorescent protein (GFP) or b-galactosidase labeling were used to track cells after injection. Although the majority of CDCs could be found throughout the infarct (57% 6 3% of the total engrafted) and the immediate border zone (30% 6 5%), stable engraftment also existed in the remote myocardium (13% 6 3%). Figure 1A, 1B shows GFP-labeled CDCs within the border and infarct zones. Counterstaining for cardiac troponin I (cTnI; Chemicon MAB3150) demonstrates that many CDCs have differentiated into cardiomyocytes. As shown in Figure 1, portions of the mouse heart were reconstituted by human CDCs (Fig. 1A), while CDC-derived cardiomyocytes in the dense central infarct zone remained small with little cTnI expression in their cytoplasm (Fig. 1B). Human nuclear antigen expression also demonstrates differentiated cardiomyocytes, derived from transplanted human CDCs, within the border zone (Fig. 1C). These human-derived cells express Cx43, suggesting, but not proving, functional integration within the infarcted tissue (Fig. 1D). Such functional integration has, however, been rigorously documented in vitro with myocyte-CDC coculture [7]. Further, b-galactosidase-labeled CDCs expressing markers of endothelial (Von Willebrand factor [vWF]; Fig. 1E) and smooth muscle (alpha smooth muscle actin [aSMA]; Fig. 1F) lineages highlight the in vivo multilineage potential of CDCs.
