Hare, MD, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Division of Cardiology, 600 North Wolfe St/Carnegie 568, Baltimore, MD 21287 (e-mail jhare@mail.jhmi.edu).
Background— We investigated the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to track magnetically labeled mesenchymal stem cells (MR-MSCs) in a swine myocardial infarction (MI) model.
Methods and Results— Adult farm pigs (n=5) were subjected to closed-chest experimental MI. MR-MSCs (2.8 to 16x107 cells) were injected intramyocardially under x-ray fluoroscopy. MRIs were obtained on a 1.5T MR scanner to demonstrate the location of the MR-MSCs and were correlated with histology. Contrast-enhanced MRI demonstrated successful injection in the infarct and serial MSC tracking was demonstrated in two animals.
Conclusion— MRI tracking of MSCs is feasible and represents a preferred method for studying the engraftment of MSCs in MI.
Key Words: magnetic resonance imaging • myocardial infarction • cells • contrast media
