Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induces Neoangiogenesis and Preserves Cardiac Function after Experimental Myocardial Infarction
RATIONALE Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) followed by ventricular remodeling is the major cause of congestive heart failure and death in western world countries. OBJECTIVE Of relevance are reports showing that infusion of apoptotic leucocytes or anti-lymphocyte serum after AMI reduces myocardial necrosis and preserves cardiac function. In order to corroborate this therapeutic mechanism, the...
متن کاملRelationship between post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder and Anti-Thymocyte Globulin or Anti-Lymphocyte Globulin
Abstract Background: Lymphoproliferative disorders are among the most serious and potentially fatal complications of chronic immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients. The principle risk factors for development of PTLD are the degree of overall immunosuppression and the EBV serostatus of the recipient. In this study, the risk of PTLD in kidney transplant recipients who received Anti- L...
متن کاملCortical Bone Stem Cell Therapy Preserves Cardiac Structure and Function After Myocardial Infarction.
RATIONALE Cortical bone stem cells (CBSCs) have been shown to reduce ventricular remodeling and improve cardiac function in a murine myocardial infarction (MI) model. These effects were superior to other stem cell types that have been used in recent early-stage clinical trials. However, CBSC efficacy has not been tested in a preclinical large animal model using approaches that could be applied ...
متن کاملS100A1 gene therapy preserves in vivo cardiac function after myocardial infarction.
Myocardial infarction (MI) represents an enormous clinical challenge as loss of myocardium due to ischemic injury is associated with compromised left ventricular (LV) function often leading to acute cardiac decompensation or chronic heart failure. S100A1 was recently identified as a positive inotropic regulator of myocardial contractility in vitro and in vivo. Here, we explore the strategy of m...
متن کاملGrowth hormone alone or combined with metoprolol preserves cardiac function after myocardial infarction in rats.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agents are important for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). Accumulating evidence also indicates that growth hormone (GH) improves cardiac function after MI in rats. We aimed to investigate the cardiovascular effects of combined treatment in an animal model of MI. METHODS MI was induced in rats by ligation of the left coronary ar...
