Induction of angiogenesis via topical delivery of basic-fibroblast growth factor from polyvinyl alcohol-dextran blend hydrogel in an ovine model of acute myocardial infarction

Abstract: Hydrogels are currently used as interesting constructs for the delivery of proteins. In this study, a novel polyvinyl alcohol-dextran (PVA-Dex) blend hydrogel was used for controlled delivery of basic-fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). These biocompatible constructs were sutured to the epicardium as patches on the heart surface to provide slow release of bFGF to the infarcted site in an ovine model of myocardial infarction (MI). Eighteen sheep were randomly divided into three groups (n = 6 each), including group… Show more

“…42,43 Here, we show that ticagrelor, but not clopidogrel, attenuates the increase in MIP-2 4 weeks after myocardial infarction. However, FGF-2 induces cardioprotection, 44 has a role as a chemotactic factor for stem cell homing after myocardial injury, 45 induces angiogenesis, 46,47 and improves remodeling after myocardial infarction in the rat. [48][49][50] The significance of the ticagrelorinduced attenuation and clopidogrel-induced normalization of the increase in FGF-2 levels 4 weeks after infarction is unclear.…”

“…To assess the effect of the CM in angiogenesis induction in the Matrigel plug, an anti-alpha-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) antibody (Catalog No. M0851; Dako) was used to stain smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts [17]. Capillary ECs were stained with an antibody against von Willebrand factor (vWF; Catalog No.…”

“…FGF-NFs were sutured to animals' epicardium, showing a sustained release of FGF that strongly stimulated angiogenesis and increased wall thickness index in the infarcted myocardium 2 months after treatment. The NFs also significantly attenuated the increase in LV end-systolic diameter, but did not improve cardiac function [99]. Positive results were reported by Zhang G. et al, who reported that PEGylated fibrin NFs loaded with SDF-1 (100 ng), when injected in a mouse MI model, significantly increased myocardial recruitment of c-kit + cells compared to controls two weeks after treatment.…”
