Mesenchymal stem cells conditioned with glucose depletion augments their ability to repair‐infarcted myocardium

Abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive candidate for autologous cell therapy, but their ability to repair damaged myocardium is severely compromised with advanced age. Development of viable autologous cell therapy for treatment of heart failure in the elderly requires the need to address MSC ageing. In this study, MSCs from young (2 months) and aged (24 months) C57BL/6 mice were characterized for gene expression of IGF-1, FGF-2, VEGF, SIRT-1, AKT, p16INK4a, p21 and p53 along with measurements of popul… Show more

“…These parameters have been widely used for assessment of cardiac function previously (Rungwerth et al, 2004;Ou et al, 2011;Choudhery et al, 2012;Leblanc et al, 2013;Mao et al, 2013).…”

“…High glucose concentrations may also modify the gene expression and direct the differentiation of stem cells to the adipogenic over the chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages (Kearts & Khan 2012). On the other hand, glucose depletion improves these properties due to the overall beneficial effects already described of caloric restriction for stem cells, such as delay of cell death, senescence and ageing (Choudhery et al 2012). These reports suggest that the damage caused by glucose level deregulation may affect some properties of undifferentiated cells in a long-term and on irreversible way (Bastianelli et al 2014).…”
