Abstract: OBJECTIVES: This study set out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal precursor cells (MPC) delivered by multisegmental, transendocardial implantation in the setting of nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). Background: Prospectively isolated MPC have shown capacity to mediate cardiovascular repair in myocardial ischemia. However, their efficacy in NICM remains undetermined. METHODS: Mesenchymal precursor cells were prepared from ovine bone marrow by immunoselection using the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, or STRO-3, monoclonal antibody. Fifteen sheep with anthracycline-induced NICM were assigned to catheter-based, transendocardial injections of allogeneic MPC (n = 7) or placebo (n = 8), under electromechanical mapping guidance. Follow-up was for 8 weeks, with end points assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance, echocardiography, and histology. RESULTS: Intramyocardial injections were distributed similarly throughout the left ventricle in both groups. Cell transplantation was associated with 1 death late in follow-up, compared with 3 early deaths among placebo animals. Left ventricular end-diastolic size increased in both cohorts, but MPC therapy attenuated end-systolic dilation and stabilized ejection fraction, with a nonsignificant increase (37.3 ± 2.8% before, 39.2 ± 1.4% after) compared with progressive deterioration after placebo (38.8 ± 4.4% before, 32.5 ± 4.9% after, p < 0.05). Histological outcomes of cell therapy included less fibrosis burden than in the placebo group and an increased density of karyokinetic cardiomyocytes and myocardial arterioles (p < 0.05 for each). These changes occurred in the presence of modest cellular engraftment after transplantation. CONCLUSIONS: Multisegmental, transendocardial delivery of cell therapy can be achieved effectively in NICM using electromechanical navigation. The pleiotropic properties of immunoselected MPC confer benefit to nonischemic cardiac disease, extending their therapeutic potential beyond the setting of myocardial ischemia.
