BackgroundIschemic heart disease, often caused by an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite significant advances in medical and procedural therapies, millions of AMI patients progress to develop heart failure every year.MethodsHere, we examine the combination therapy of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) to reduce the early ischemic damage (MSCs) and enhance angiogenesis (ECFCs) in a pre-clinical model of acute myocardial infarction. NOD/SCID mice were subjected to AMI followed by transplantation of MSCs and ECFCs either alone or in combination. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac functional recovery were assessed in short- and long-term follow-up studies.ResultsAt 1 day after AMI, MSC- and ECFC-treated animals demonstrated significantly lower cardiomyocyte apoptosis compared to vehicle-treated animals. This phenomenon was associated with a significant reduction in infarct size, cardiac fibrosis, and improvement in functional cardiac recovery 4 weeks after AMI.ConclusionsThe use of ECFCs, MSCs, and the combination of both cell types reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis, scar size, and adverse cardiac remodeling, compared to vehicle, in a pre-clinical model of AMI. These results support the use of this combined cell therapy approach in future human studies during the acute phase of ischemic cardiac injury.Graphical abstract
