Popis: Introduction Nanomedicine offers great potential for treatment of cardiovascular disease. We tested whether intramyocardial (IM) injection of pro-angiogenic hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and anti-apoptotic, pro-myogenic insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) encapsulated in Alginate-Sulfate nanoparticles (AlgS-NP) improves left ventricular (LV) functional recovery in a porcine ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model. Methods Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced by 75min balloon occlusion of the mid-LAD followed by reperfusion. After 1w, pigs (n=12) with marked LV dysfunction (EF Results At 1w after MI, LV ejection frqction (LVEF) was 37±5% (range 27–45%) and infarct size (IS)/LV mass 24±6% (range 19–38%). Myocardial retention of AlgS-NP was comparable between 2 groups (maximal systemic leakage after IM injection: 9% CON vs 20% GF, P=0.25). After 8 w, IS/LV mass decreased by one third in GF-treated pigs compared with 14% in CON (P=0.03, Fig. A) and was associated with a trend towards improvement in CFR (P=0.05, Fig. B). LVEF significantly increased in GF-treated pigs (6±2% vs. −1±1%, P=0.02, Fig. C), which was attributable to a greater reduction in end-systolic volume. The improvement in LVEF was also consistent with significant reduction of fibrosis (P=0.01, Fig. D) in the peri-infarct zone (PI). Conclusions Intramyocardial injection of AlgS-nanoparticle-encapsulated HGF and IGF-1 to the ischemic myocardium significantly improves LV repair, and offers the prospect of innovative treatment for patients with refractory ischemic heart disease.
