Abstract

Previous studies of the authors have indicated that the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can attenuate cardiac fibrosis through the secretion of antifibrotic factors, such as adrenomedullin (ADM). Therefore, the authors addressed the hypothesis that ADM overexpression could enhance the antifibrotic effect of MSCs transplantation in a rat model of heart failure. The results of the present study demonstrated that, compared with the group that received the GFP‑MSCs, the transplantation of ADM‑MSCs significantly improved heart function and decreased the percentage of fibrotic area and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2. In addition, fluorescence microscopy indicated that the survival of transplanted MSCs also increased significantly in the ADM‑MSCs‑treated group. Furthermore, the expression of fibrosis‑related genes, such as ADM and hepatocyte growth factor, were significantly influenced in the ADM‑MSCs‑treated group. Based on these findings, it may be concluded that, compared with MSCs, MSCs overexpressing ADM can further improve heart function in rats experiencing heart failure through enhanced antifibrotic activity.
