In a groundbreaking study, it was found that the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) induced significant long-term improvements in cardiac function and tissue metabolism compared to bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) in rat models of chronic myocardial infarction. The MSCs not only reduced infarct size and fibrosis but also promoted revascularization, likely through paracrine mechanisms enhancing angiogenesis. These findings highlight the potential of MSC therapy as a regenerative strategy in cardiovascular diseases.

CONCLUSIONS • Treatment with bone marrow stem cells (BM-MNC or MSC) induced a long-lasting (3 months) improvement in cardiac function. Moreover, animals injected with MSC showed an increase of tissue metabolism, which was associated with a decreased infarct size and collagen content and a higher degree of revascularization. • The benefits observed after bone marrow stem cell transplantation were possibly due to paracrine mechanisms involved in angiogenesis and host cell proliferation and not through direct cell contribution.
