Abstract excerpt
The present study was to determine the effects of the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation into acute MI hearts on normalizing the ratio of MMPs/TIMPs and remodeling in infarcted myocardium. HO-1 was transfected into cultured MSCs using an adenoviral vector. 1 x 10(6) Ad-HO-1-transfected MSCs (HO-1-MSCs) or Ad-Null-transfected MSCs (Null-MSCs) or PBS was respectively...
