    In vivo magnetic resonance imaging of mesenchymal stem cells in myocardial infarction
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003) Kraitchman, D. L.; Heldman, A. W.; Atalar, Ergin; Amado, L. C.; Martin, B. J.; Pittenger, M. F.; Hare, J. M.; Bulte, J. W. M.
    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 16×107 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.
