Background. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation has been pursued as a new method to repair damaged myocardium. We focused on the fetal membrane (FM) as an alternative source to bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs. In this study, we investigated whether transplantation of allogeneic FM-MSC sheets could attenuate myocardial dysfunction in a rat chronic myocardial infarction (MI) model. Methods. Sheets of allogeneic FM-MSC or autologous BM-MSC were transplanted into the scarred myocardium 4 weeks after coronary ligation. Results. Four weeks after transplantation, both allogeneic FM-MSC and autologous BM-MSC sheets had significantly improved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis compared with the untreated MI group. In both MSC sheet-transplanted groups, the peri-infarct regional capillary density was increased. Some engrafted MSCs formed vascular structures and were positive for lectin I and alpha-smooth muscle actin. The numbers of engrafted cells and differentiated cells were very low after both types of MSC sheet transplantation. CD3(+) T cells did not increase in the transplantation site, but CD163(+) M2 macrophages increased in the groups transplanted with allogeneic FM-MSC and autologous BM-MSC. Conclusions. Transplantation of allogeneic FM-MSC or autologous BM-MSC sheets attenuated myocardial dysfunction in a rat MI model to a similar degree. The engraftment rate of transplanted cells and immune cell infiltration into the transplanted area did not differ between the two types of MSC transplants. M2 macrophage induction has possible involvement in the therapeutic effects of MSC transplantation. Allogeneic FM-MSC sheet transplantation might be a new therapeutic strategy after MI.
