Abstract

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a progressive disease of the heart muscle and the third most common cause of heart failure. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of bone marrow‑derived endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) transplantation on the development of DCM in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat model. Ex vivo generated, characterized and cultivated rat EPCs were identified by flow cytometry of their surface markers. EPCs were transplanted intravenously into rats through the tail vein 6 weeks after they were challenged with STZ and the rats were sacrificed 4 weeks later. Before sacrifice, left ventricular (LV) catheterization was performed to evaluate the cardiac function. Myocardium sections were stained with Masson's trichrome staining to investigate myocardial collagen contents. Fibrosis-, apoptosis- and oxidative stress-related gene expressions were analyzed by western blot analysis. Transplantation of EPCs alleviated the impaired cardiac function associated with diabetes and decreased the collagen volume in diabetic myocardium resulting in improved cardiac function. Furthermore, EPC transplantation decreased the expression of type I collagen, Bax, caspase-3 and p67phox, while increasing the expression of Bcl-2 and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Taken together, our results suggest that transplantation of EPCs improved cardiac function in the rat DCM model, likely through inhibition of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and attenuating myocardial fibrosis.
