Figure 4. Global and regional left ventricular systolic function improvement following ILK-MSC transplantation.

Figure 4

(ab) Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, a) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV, b) at baseline (pre-injection) and 15 days post-transplantation in vehicle controls, vector-MSC group and ILK-MSC group. (c) Representative matched cine short-axis images (at end-diastole and end-systole) at 15 days for a minipig treated with vehicles (top row), vector-MSCs (middle row) and ILK-MSCs (bottom row). Infarcted myocardial segments were visually positioned from matched delayed contrast-enhanced images. (d) Systolic wall thickening at baseline and 15 days post-transplantation. Data are mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 between comparisons indicated by bracket. ns = not significant.
