Objective:To investigate whether the bone morphogenetic protein 13(BMP13) can promote C3H10T1/2 cell differentiation into cardiomyocytes in microenvironment and improve the cardiac function of the rats after myocardial infarct(MI).Methods:MI and sham operation were established in sprague dawley(SD) male rats.Totally 56 rats were divided into 4 groups: sham operation group(8 rats)
MI group(16 rats)
MI+GFP group(16 rats)
and MI+BMP13 group(16 rats).Left ventricular(LV) function were assessed by echocardiography on day baseline and 4 weeks after operation.After measuring body weight once a week
on 4 weeks after completion of cardiac function test
rats were sacrificed to take the hearts.Differences in infarct sizes of hearts were compared by Masson’s staining.Cardiac-specific structural protein α-MHC and cTnT were implanted in each group and detected by immunofluorescence assay.Results:Each C3H10T1/2 cells had about 80% of cells expressing green fluorescence.On 4 weeks after the experiment
heart function in the groups with cells implanted significantly improved
as compared with MI group
MI+BMP13 group more obvious(P<0.05).Implanted cells in group MI+GFP and MI+BMP13 had cardiac cell-specific structural protein α-MHC and cTnT expression by immunofluorescence.Conclusion:BMP13 can induce differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells into myocardial cells and improve cardiac function in myocardial infarction rats.
