Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are potential sources of cells for tissue repairing. However, little information is available regarding the therapeutic potency of intravenously transplanted MSCs for myocardial ischemia (MI). In the present study, MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of male rats and expanded in vitro. Three hours after ligation of left anterior descending artery, the transplanted group received an infusion of MSCs through the tail vein. At the same time, a coronary-ligated control group was injected with culture medium. Homing of MSCs to the heart was assessed by expression of the Y chromosome sry gene using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). At 1 week or 8 weeks after transplantation, sry positive cells were present in cardiac tissue in the transplanted group, but not in the hearts of control group. Cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells that bore sry gene were identified in transplanted group at 8 weeks after transplantation. Ultrastructural observation revealed that a large number of capillary and some immature myocytes were found to survive in the ischemia region. MSCs transplantation also decreased LVEDP pressure and -dP/dt, but increased LVSP and +dP/dt. The cardiac infarct size was significantly smaller in transplanted group than in control group. Our data suggest that intravenously transplanted MSCs improve cardiac performance and promote the regeneration of blood vessels and cardiomyocytes.
