Intravenous MSC Therapy on Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Patients With Myocardial Infarction

Laboratory of Stem Cell of Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University Medical School, is able to provide types of Good Manufacture Practice (GMP) level stem cells and stem cell-based medicinal products. Clinical-grade WJ-MSC primary cells are cultured to 4\~ 8 passages, and the surface markers (CD90+, CD105+, CD45-, CD31-, CD117-) are identified by flow cytometry. WJ-MSC cells are trypsinized and resuspended in the wash buffer of CTSTMD PBS (+Ca2+, +Mg2+). Within 2 hours after enzyme digestion, WJ-MSC cells are shipped to coronary care unit (CCU) and injected into the body.

For Case-control study only.

All patients undergo guideline-recommended treatment for STEMI, including aspirin (loading dose of 300mg before maintenance dose of 100 mg/d), clopidogrel (loading dose of 300mg before maintenance dose of 75 mg/d) or Ticagrelor (loading dose of 300mg before maintenance dose of 90 mg/d), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), β-receptor blockers, statins and nitrate esters.
