Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether intramuscular injection of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells will increase regeneration of normal myocardial cells and play adverse effects on normal myocardium.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of intramuscular injection of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on expression of the myocardial ki-67, phh3 and cTnT in normal Wistar rats.
METHODS: A total of 60 male Wistar rats were divided into six groups randomly: normal group, solution group, supernatant group, low concentration group, moderate concentration group, and high concentration group. These groups were intramuscularly injected different liquid, respectively, as follows: PBS, DMEM, the supernatant of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with amount of 0.25×105, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with amount of 1.0×105, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with amount of 4.0×105. After 4 weeks, each rats received the second same intramuscular injections of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Four weeks after the second injection, all rates were killed to obtain myocardial tissues which were fixed, embedded and sectioned. Finally, the ki-67, phh3 and cTnT expressions of the myocardium were detected by immunohistochemical technique. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the normal group, negative expression of the ki-67 was observed in the caryon of myocardial cells, weak positive expression of the phh3 was observed in the caryon of myocardial cells, and positive expression of the cTnT was observed in the caryon of myocardial cells. Compared with the normal group, the expression of the ki-67, phh3 and cTnT in the myocardium had no significant difference among the
other groups (F=1.076, 0.167, 0.300; P > 0.05). Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells or the supernatant of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells via intramuscular injection have no effects on the expression of the ki-67, phh3 and cTnT in normal Wistar rats.
