Types of Stem Cells • Embryonic stem cells – Pluripotent • Fetal and adult stem cells (e.g. mesenchymal cells) – Multipotent; capable of producing a small range of differentiated cell lineages appropriate to their location • Adult progenitor cells (e.g. skeletal myoblasts and endothelial progenitor cells) – Unipotent; has the least differentiation potential • Induced pluripotent stem cells (IPS)

Skeletal myoblasts • Myoblasts derived from satellite cells in skeletal muscle • With appropriate stimulus, satellite cells differentiate into muscle fibres • Highly resistant to ischemia • Do not contract spontaneously • Do not differentiate into cardiomyocytes • Orient towards cardiac stress reducing thinning and dilation • Improve diastolic and systolic function Potential risk of fatal arrhythmia;

Bone marrow CD34+ cell injection after STEMI (AMRS 1) Emory University, Atlanta, GA ; Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN; Lindner Center, Cincinnatti, Ohio; Texas Heart Institute Primary Objective Feasibility and safety of intra-coronary infusion of autologous CD34+ cells at three dose levels (5, 10, 15 million). Secondary Objective To assess the effect on cardiac function (MRI, echo) and infarct region perfusion (SPECT) . Assess mobility/homing (CXCR-4), viability and in vitro hematopoietic and precursor cell growth (CFU-G). Only study to investigate cell dose-response Largest dose of i.c. CD34+ cells given to date

Bone marrow CD34+ cell injection after STEMI (AMRS 1) Intracoronary infusion of autologous bone marrow CD34+ cells during the repair phase after STEMI at higher doses than previously administered is safe, and may be associated with improved functional recovery from enhanced perfusion to the peri-infarct zone.
