Abstract

Autologous multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSC) of bone marrow origin with transfected GFP gene and additionally stained cell membranes were injected to rats through the skin in the projection of ligated femoral vein. The results were evaluated by fluorescent microscopy. No signs of MMSC incorporation into the wall of ligated vessel or reorganized collaterals were detected. Angiogenesis processes involving MMSC were detected in experimental rats within just 4 days and progressed until week 2 postinjection, mainly in granulations at the site of surgical intervention and the cicatrix forming there. Injected MMSC completely formed all tunics of the new vessels and incorporated in the vessels forming from the recipient cells. MMSC and the objects created from them were gradually eliminated with participation of macrophages and replaced by structures formed from the recipient cells.
