Abstract EN

Bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were found to markedly increase atherosclerotic lesion size.

The aim of this paper was to investigate whether BM-MSCs contribute to vascular remodeling and calcification after balloon injury in hyperlipidemic rats.

Labeled BM-MSCs were found in the lesion of hyperlipidemic rats after balloon injury.

Comparing injury group, transferred BM-MSCs significantly triggered vascular negative remodeling, characterized by the changes of remodeling index (0.628±0.0293 versus 0.544±0.0217), neointimal area (0.078±0.015 mm2 versus 0.098±0.019 mm2), PCNA index (23.91±6.59% versus 43.11±5.31%), and percentage of stenosis (18.20±1.09% versus 30.58±1.21%).

Apparent vascular calcification was detected in medial layers at 6 weeks after balloon angioplasty, which may be associated with upregulation of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2).

Our data indicated that unselected BM-MSCs transfer may induce vascular remodeling and calcification after balloon injury in hyperlipidemic rats.
