  • Publication number: 20130287728
    Abstract: The described invention provides methods and regimens for treating adverse consequences of a persistent and progressive myocardial injury-due to a vascular insufficiency that occurs early or late in a subject in need thereof, and progressive myocardial injury-preventing compositions that contain a chemotactic hematopoietic stem cell product, and, optionally, an additional active agent. The method treats ongoing vascular insufficiency affecting coronary circulation by (i) stimulating neoangiogenesis in a peri-infarct border zone, thereby improving myocardial perfusion; and, (ii) through a paracrine effect, preventing apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in the peri-infarct border zone. The neoangiogenesis and paracrine-mediated reduction of apoptosis reduces progressive myocardial cell loss, which leads to improvement in cardiac function and a reduction of risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.

  • Patent number: 8343485
    Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a chemotactic hematopoietic stem cell product comprising an enriched population of CD34+ cells containing a subpopulation of CD34+/CXCR-4+ cells having CXCR-4-mediated chemotactic activity, methods of preparing these compositions and use of these compositions to treat or repair vascular injury, including infarcted myocardium.
