About
Heart failure (HF) and acute myocardial infarction that often follows are among the main causes of disability and death worldwide. As such, new treatments and biological drugs are needed to protect the heart against the harmful effects of ischemia and also reperfusion injury (IRI), preserve cardiac function, reduce the zone of myocardial infarction (MI), and improve patient outcomes. In this regard, it has been shown that mitochondrial dysfunction has a key role in the pathogenesis of heart ischemia, cardiomyopathy, and reperfusion injury. in this study which includes 4 groups of intervention, we try to minimize the damage by transplantation of mitochondria and administration of MSC-derived exosomes. MSC-derived exosomes limit inflammatory damage while fresh autologous exosomes limit oxidative stress.
Full description
This research will be performed as a retrospective cohort study at Tehran Heart Center. Patients will be selected from CABG candidates with severely low Ejection fraction determined by speckle echocardiography. Patients with severe co-morbidities or cerebral damage will be excluded from the study. Detailed informed consent will be taken from the patients. Patients who refuse to provide consent will receive standard treatment.
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Severe co-morbidities (e.g., renal failure, liver failure, etc.)
Inability to provide informed consent
Cerebral Damage
Study groups:
The standard treatment performed for all patients is revascularisation by coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Patients will be divided into four groups based on the treatments received, in addition to the standard treatment.
Mitochondrial and exosome transplantation by intracoronary and intra-myocardial injection. Study groups:
Patients in groups a and b will receive the extracted exosome from MSC cells described in step 2. The extracted exosome will be injected into the coronary sinus after the placement of the Cardiopulmonary bypass.
Isolation and characterisation of mesenchymal stem cells from the human umbilical cord (UC-MSCs) Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are enzymatically isolated by collagenase in terms of a previous study and cultured in DMEM / F12 medium with 10% exosome-depleted FBS (GMP grade) with penicillin and streptomycin antibiotics and incubated at 37 ° C and 5% CO2. After the cell confluence reaches 80%, the conditioned medium is collected (for exosome isolation, the cells are used in passage 3).
The phenotypic analysis is performed on the third passage. Surface antigens are analysed for CD90, CD105, CD73 and CD34 using flow cytometry.
Extraction of exosomes from UC-MSCs by ultracentrifugation and characterisation.
After the cell confluence reaches 80%, the conditioned medium is collected for exosome isolation by several ultracentrifuges. In brief, after 48 h, the conditioned medium (CM) of the cells is centrifuged at 400 g for 10 min to remove cells and at 2500 g for 30 min to eliminate apoptotic bodies and debris. Afterwards, CM was centrifuged twice at 100 000 g for two h, followed by the process of suspending the exosome pellet in PBS.
Surface antigens are analysed for CD9, CD63 and CD81 using western blot. Furthermore, Bradford Colorimetric Assay (BCA) kit is used to measure exosome production total protein at a wavelength of 570 nm. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) determines the size distribution of exosomes.
Extraction of mitochondria from US-MSCs and characterisation.
Short-term evaluation of the safety of clinical trial transplant mitochondria and exosome phase I:
The patient will be under close monitoring after the surgery based on clinical symptoms, signs, arrhythmia, echocardiographic evaluations and lab results.
Short-term evaluations of the patient in terms of blood factors (cTnT, CK-MB) Creatine kinase (CK) and its isoenzyme CK-MB are critical tools for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The content of CK-MB relative to total CK in myocardial cells is variable; in normal myocardium, it is low and enhanced several-fold in hypoxic myocardium and heart stroke.
SPECT scan, Cardiac MRI and Dobutamine stress Speckle Echocardiography, before and after 2 months.
The evaluation of the patient's recovery will be performed one month after the surgery. This evaluation is based on patients' signs and symptoms, Function Class assessments, Speckle and Dobutamine stress Eco, SPECT Nuclear heart Scan and Cardiac MRI imaging (CMR). Evaluations will be performed before surgery and one month after the surgery. Close Comparison will be performed between evaluation results to report possible improvements in the patient's condition.
The assessed variables for follow-up evaluation include:
Data Analysis will be performed by IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25. A p-value of less than 0.05 will be assessed as significant.
