Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Cardiac regenerative therapy using human pluripotent stem cell -derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) is expected to become an alternative to heart transplantation for severe heart failure. It is now possible to produce large numbers of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and eliminate non-cardiomyocytes, including residual undifferentiated hPSCs, which can cause teratoma formation after transplantation. There are two main strategies for transplanting hPSC-CMs: injection of hPSC-CMs into the myocardium from the epicardial side, and implantation of hPSC-CM patches or engineered heart tissues onto the epicardium. Transplantation of hPSC-CMs into the myocardium of large animals in a myocardial infarction model improved cardiac function. The engrafted hPSCCMs matured, and microvessels derived from the host entered the graft abundantly. Furthermore, as less invasive methods using catheters, injection into the coronary artery and injection into the myocardium from the endocardium side have recently been investigated. Since transplantation of hPSC-CMs alone has a low engraftment rate, various methods such as transplantation with the extracellular matrix or non-cardiomyocytes and aggregation of hPSC-CMs have been developed. Post -transplant arrhythmias, imaging of engrafted hPSC-CMs, and immune rejection are the remaining major issues, and research is being conducted to address them. The clinical application of cardiac regenerative therapy using hPSC-CMs has just begun and is expected to spread widely if its safety and efficacy are proven in the near future.
