Cardiovascular diseases represent a significant cause of death and disability worldwide [1]. Myocardial infarction (MI), among other cardiovascular diseases, causes massive cardiomyocyte loss and scar formation in place of dead myocardial tissues, thus leading to adverse cardiac remodeling and heart failure. Current treatments for cardiac ischemic injury mainly focus on limiting the cardiomyocyte death and suppressing the fibrogenic response caused by tissue damage, but cannot achieve a restoration of lost cardiac tissues. Therefore in many cases of heart attack, even with proper treatments, the infarction will cause severe cardiac remodeling, cardiac output decline, and eventually heart failure. True cellular replacement and myocardial restoration is always the ultimate goal of the treatment for MI.One approach for salvage of functional myocardium is transplantation of exogenous stem cells. Various sources of stem cell candidates have been tested in animal models, among which heart-derived progenitor cells hold particular potential [2, 3]; however, the poor long-term survival of the exogenous cells in stem cell therapy causes controversy in mechanism behind the beneficial effects despite the promising preclinical outcomes. Actually, the majority, if not all, of the transplanted cells are not able to differentiate to cardiomyocytes in vivo. Consequently, the paracrine
