G-CSF mobilization might be beneficial to ICM, but the relationship between effect/safety and the dosage of G-CSF remains unclear. In this study, 24 pigs were used to build ICM models and were randomized into four groups. Four weeks later, different dosages of G-CSF were given daily by subcutaneous injection for 5 days. Another 4 weeks later, all the animals were sacrificed. Electrocardiography, coronary arteriography, left ventriculography, transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and SPECT, histopathologic analysis, and immunohistochemistry techniques were used to evaluate left ventricular function and myocardial infarct size. Four weeks after G-CSF treatment, pigs in middle-dose G-CSF group exhibited obvious improvements of left ventricular remodeling and function. Moderate G-CSF mobilization ameliorated the regional contractility of ICM, preserved myocardial viability, and reduced myocardial infarct size. More neovascularization and fewer apoptotic myocardial cells were observed in the ischemic region of the heart in middle-dose group. Expression of vWF, VEGF and MCP-1 were up-regulated, and Akt1 was activated in high- and middle-dose groups. Moreover, CRP, TNF-α and S-100 were elevated after high-dose G-CSF mobilization. Middle-dose G-CSF mobilization therapy is an effective and safe treatment for ICM, and probably acts via a mechanism involving promoting neovascularization, inhibiting cardiac fibrosis and anti-apoptosis.
