Myocardial infarction models in NOD/Scid mice for cell therapy research: permanent ischemia vs ischemia–reperfusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myocardial infarction animal studies are used to study disease mechanisms and new treatment options. Typically, myocardial infarction (MI) is induced by permanent occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. Since in MI patients coronary blood flow is often restored new experimental models better reflecting clinical practice are needed. Here, permanent ischemia MI (PI group) was compared with transient ischemia (45 min) (IR group) in immunodeficient NOD/Scid mice. Cardiac function, infarct size, wall thickness and total collagen deposition were significantly reduced only in PI mice. Cardiac inflammatory cells and serum cytokine levels were less dynamic in IR animals compared to PI. So although IR better reflects clinical practice, it is secondary to PI for investigating cell therapy, since it induces too little damage to provide a measurable therapeutic window. MI did result in significant changes in the inflammatory state, indicating this immunodeficient mouse strain is valuable to study human cell therapy.

Parecoxib inhibits apoptosis in acute myocardial infarction due to permanent coronary ligation but not due to ischemia-reperfusion.
PURPOSE Myocardial ischemia induces cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression. We evaluated the effects of parecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor, in 2 different mouse models of myocardial ischemia: permanent left coronary artery ligation (PI) and transient ligation (30 minutes ischemia) followed by reperfusion (I/R). METHODS Forty adult male Institute of Cancer Research mice underwent PI (n = 24) or I/R (n ...

Cxcr4 expression is associated with time–course permanent and temporary myocardial infarction in rats
Objective(s): Experimental myocardial infarction triggers secretion of Stromal cell-derived factor1 and lead to increase in the expression of its receptor "CXCR4" on the surface of various cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression pattern of CXCR4 in peripheral blood cells following time-course permanent and temporary ischemia in rats. Materials and Methods: Fourteen male Wist...

Objectives. This study compared the effects of rosuvastatin on left ventricular infarct size in mice following permanent coronary occlusion versus 60 minutes ischemia/24 hours reperfusion and evaluated the effects of rosuvastatin on potential beneficial mechanisms of infarct size reduction including neutrophil accumulation, NO synthase expression and stem cell mobilization following ischemia an...
متن کاملRosuvastatin reduces experimental left ventricular infarct size after ischemia-reperfusion injury but not total coronary occlusion.
This study compared the effects of rosuvastatin on left ventricular infarct size in mice after permanent coronary occlusion vs. 60 min of ischemia followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Statins can inhibit neutrophil adhesion, increase nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression, and mobilize progenitor stem cells after ischemic injury. Mice received blinded and randomized administration of rosuvastatin (...
