Cellular Encapsulation Enhances Cardiac Repair
BACKGROUND Stem cells for cardiac repair have shown promise in preclinical trials, but lower than expected retention, viability, and efficacy. Encapsulation is one potential strategy to increase viable cell retention while facilitating paracrine effects. METHODS AND RESULTS Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) were encapsulated in alginate and attached to the heart with a hydrogel patch in a r...
متن کاملLin28 Enhances Tissue Repair by Reprogramming Cellular Metabolism
Regeneration capacity declines with age, but why juvenile organisms show enhanced tissue repair remains unexplained. Lin28a, a highly conserved RNA-binding protein expressed during embryogenesis, plays roles in development, pluripotency, and metabolism. To determine whether Lin28a might influence tissue repair in adults, we engineered the reactivation of Lin28a expression in several models of t...
متن کاملrapamycin enhances hbv production by inducing cellular autophagy
conclusions these results indicated a potential explanation for reactivation of hbv infection when patients with hepatitis receive rapamycin. results in hepg2.2.15 cells, hbv dna and hbsag increased when host cells were treated with rapamycin and the effect was reversed by autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine (3-ma). materials and methods hepg2.2.15 cells were treated with rapamycin to induce a...
متن کاملParacrine Engineering of Human Cardiac Stem Cells With Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Enhances Myocardial Repair
BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) activates prosurvival pathways and improves postischemic cardiac function, but this key cytokine is not robustly expressed by cultured human cardiac stem cells. We explored the influence of an enhanced IGF-1 paracrine signature on explant-derived cardiac stem cell-mediated cardiac repair. METHODS AND RESULTS Receptor profiling demonstrated that ...
متن کاملAcute CD47 Blockade During Ischemic Myocardial Reperfusion Enhances Phagocytosis-Associated Cardiac Repair
Our data suggest that, after a myocardial infarction, integrin-associated protein CD47 on cardiac myocytes is elevated. In culture, increased CD47 on the surface of dying cardiomyocytes impairs phagocytic removal by immune cell macrophages. After myocardial ischemia and reperfusion, acute CD47 inhibition with blocking antibodies enhanced dead myocyte clearance by cardiac phagocytes and also imp...
