The current study aimed to investigate the effects of tetramethylprazine (TMP) on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury and its underlying mechanisms. MI/R rat model and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) cardiomyocytes model were established. CK level and LDH activity were detected to evaluate MI/R and H/R injury.

Survival of transplanted cells was assessed using DiD-labeled hEPCs.

Objective: To explore the impact and related mechanisms of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) on serum deprivation-induced apoptosis of cardiac stem cells (CSCs).
Methods: CSCs were isolated from adult mouse heart tissue and cultured in vitro. Obtained cells were purified using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) with c-kit magnetic beads.
