Abstract

Cardiac fibroblasts play a main role in the physio­logical turnover of the extracellular matrix, as well as its pathological remodeling. A study was performed on a batch of 23 cases who died of various cardiac complications secondary to scarring myocardial infarctions. The aim of the study was to assess the fibroblast involvement in cardiac repair under ischemic conditions after myocardial infarction. Tissue myocardial samples from the left ventricle were taken from these cases for microscopy examination, in order to investigate the type and degree of fibrosis as well as the presence of cardiac interstitial fibroblasts. Multiple series of histological sections were also performed and examined, along with immunohistochemical analysis. The fibroblasts were diffusely distributed in the interstitium among the residual cardiomyocytes, showing variable expression of vimentin and smooth muscle actin. During cardiac remodeling, there was a successive interstitial deposition, first of reticulin fibers and then of collagen fibers, leading to interstitial fibrosis and myocardial replacement. There was a correlation between vimentin and smooth muscle actin expression and collagen deposition. Fibrosis with cardiac remodeling is based on maintaining proliferation capacity of the fibroblast and its capacity of protein synthesis in the extracellular matrix. Under hypoxic ischemic conditions, followed by myocardial infarction, the fibroblast switches phenotype and transdifferentiate into myofibroblast, contributing to the healing by secreting extracellular matrix proteins and collagen deposition, with subsequent cardiac remodeling and regulation of the micro‑environment metabolism.
