Zusammenfassung
Die Ansiedlung von mesenchymalen Stammzellen („mesenchymal stem cells“, MSC) war als potenzieller Ansatz in der Therapie der kardialen Dysfunktion bezeichnet worden. Dennoch wird die regenerative Kapazität dieser Methode durch begrenztes Zellüberleben eingeschränkt. Nach passagerer Überexpression des antiapoptotischen Gens BCL-2 in MSC (BCL-2-MSC) unter Verwendung eines nichtviralen, polymerbasierten Gentransfersystems zeigen sich im Rattenexperiment nach Ligatur des R. interventricularis anterior (RIVA) und Injektion der BCL-2-MSC in den Infarktrandbezirk verbessertes Zellüberleben in vivo, eine signifikant kleinere Infarktgröße und höhere Kapillardichte. BCL-2-MSC weisen in vitro unter hypoxischen Bedingungen eine signifikant vermehrte Apoptoseresistenz auf und produzieren signifikant verstärkt „vascular endothelial growth factor“ (VEGF). Diese Übersichtsarbeit diskutiert die Ergebnisse der Preisträgerarbeit im aktuellen Kontext.
Abstract
Engraftment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been proposed as a potential approach for the treatment of cardiac dysfunction. However, poor cell survival limits the regenerative capacity of this promising method. Following temporary overexpression of the anti-apoptotic gene BCL-2 in MSCs (BCL-MSCs) using a non-viral polymer-based gene transfer system, LAD (left anterior descending coronary artery) ligation in the rat experiment and subsequent injection of BCL-2-MSCs in the infarction border zone led to improvement of cell survival in vivo, significantly decreased infarction size, and enhanced capillary density. BCL-2-MSCs exhibit in vitro significantly higher resistance to apoptosis and produce significantly higher amounts of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) under hypoxic conditions. The review discusses results from the award winning work in the current context.
