Effect of BMMSCs transplantation on cardiac function and sodium channel in ventricular myocardium in young rat model of dilated cardiomyopathy
Objective To investigate the changes of cardiac function and sodium channel in ventricular myocytes in young rats with doxorubicin-induced dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)
determine the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) transplantation on the changes
and explore the effect of sodium channel change for the improvement of heart function after the transplantation. Methods Seventy-five 14-day-old SD female rats were divided into 5 groups
that is
normal group
MSC group (normal rats treated with BMMSCs injection on anterior wall of left ventricule)
DCM group
DCM+PBS group (DCM rats treated with PBS injection)
DCM+MSC group (DCM rats treated with BMMSCs injection). DCM rats were induced by intraperitoneal doxorubicin injection. In 4 weeks after transplantation
fluorescence microscopy was employed to observe the transplanted BMMSCs
ultrasonic cardiography (UCG) was used to evaluate the cardiac function of each groups
and patch clamp technique was adopted to record the changes of sodium channel in the left ventricular myocytes. Results The well-grown transplanted BMMSCs were found around the injection point or the needle path. The cardiac function in the DCM+MSC group was better than the DCM and DCM+PBS groups (P0.05)
and was well improved in 4 weeks after transfection (P0.05). Compared with the normal group and BMC group
the currentvoltage (Ⅰ-Ⅴ) curve shifted to upward
the steady-state activation was slow down
the activation curve shifted to right
the steadystate inactivation process was accelerated
and the inactivation curve shifted to left in the DCM group (P0.05). Compared with the DCM group and DCM+PBS group
the Ⅰ-Ⅴ curve shifted to downward
the current density of sodium channel current (INa) was higher
the steadystate activation was accelerated and the steady-state inactivation process was slower in the DCM (P0.05). Conclusion BMMSCs transplantation improves the cardiac function of young DCM rats
and this may be mediated by the improved sodium channel function after BMMSCs transplantation.
