Beneficial effects of prolonged systemic administration of PlGF on late outcome of post-ischaemic myocardial performance

The Journal of Pathology

Abstract

Recent evidence indicates that an imbalance between cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and blood vessel growth in the remote myocardium may contribute to heart failure in ischaemic heart disease. It remains, however, largely unknown which angiogenic factors are capable of stimulating vessel growth in the remote myocardium after myocardial infarction (MI) and whether systemic, rather than local, administration of such factors suffices to ameliorate post-MI cardiac recovery. We therefore analysed the effect of systemic placental growth factor (PlGF) delivery on myocardial recovery post-MI in mice. MI was induced by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary (LAD) artery in C57Bl6/J mice, followed by systemic injection of a PlGF adenovirus, resulting in elevated circulating levels of PlGF for 4 weeks. Functional and morphological analysis revealed that PlGF treatment induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and improved cardiac recovery at day 28 post-MI. PlGF stimulated angiogenesis in the infarct border and vessel enlargement in the remote myocardium. In this mouse model, capillary-to-cardiomyocyte ratios in the remote myocardium were maintained post-MI, but PlGF increased the vascular perfusion area in balance with the cardiom...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
