Skeletal Myoblast Cells

Skeletal Myoblast Cells. Skeletal myoblasts. Derived from satellite cells in skeletal muscle With appropriate stimulus, satellite cells differentiate into muscle fibers Highly resistant to ischemia Do not contract spontaneously Do not differentiate into cardiomyocytes. Skeletal myoblasts.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Skeletal Myoblast Cells

  2. Skeletal myoblasts • Derived from satellite cells in skeletal muscle • With appropriate stimulus, satellite cells differentiate into muscle fibers • Highly resistant to ischemia • Do not contract spontaneously • Do not differentiate into cardiomyocytes

  3. Skeletal myoblasts 2-3 cm biopsy sample of thigh vastus lateralis (12-18 g) explanted under local anesthesia Human skeletal myoblasts after 3-wk in vitro culture period (magnification ×40) Courtesy of Arshed A. Quyyumi, MD.

  4. Skeletal myoblast transplantation in post-MI HF patients Before surgery After surgery Menasché P et al. Lancet. 2001;357:279-80.

  5. Autologous skeletal myoblast injection for ischemic cardiomyopathy trial (MAGIC) • Patients: • Moderate to severe LVSD referred for CABG • Cells: • Muscle Bx from thigh • Skeletal muscle myoblasts cultured • Delivery: • Direct injection into scar at surgery • Results: • Stopped early by DSMB due to low enrollment rate • Adverse event rate similar (25% cells vs 20% controls) • ICD Therapy in 15% • No improvement in LVEF by TTE (primary outcome)* • LVEF improved by SPECT • Highly significant dose-dependent LV size decrease Cleland JGF et al. Eur J Heart Failure 2007;9:92-97.
