Popis: Reduced regenerative capacity of aged stem cells hampers the benefits of autologous cell therapy for cardiac regeneration. This study investigated whether neuron-derived neurotrophic factor (NDNF) could rejuvenate aged human bone marrow (hBM)- multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and whether the rejuvenated hBM-MSCs could improve cardiac repair after ischemic injury. Over-expression of NDNF in old hBM-MSCs decreased cell senescence and apoptosis. Engraftment of NDNF over-expressing old hBM-MSCs into the ischemic area of mouse hearts resulted in improved cardiac function after myocardial infarction, while promoting implanted stem cell survival. Our findings suggest NDNF could be a new factor to rejuvenate aged stem cells and improve their capability to repair the aged heart after injury.
