Abstract

Oxidative stress caused by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the heart causes various heart diseases. Oxidative stress is known as a factor that causes diseases in various organs as well as the heart. Diseases such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cardiomyopathy caused by oxidative stress in the heart can be treated with medication or surgery. Recently, blood cells concentrate (BCC) is used in various treatment areas such as orthopedics, gynecology, and urology. BCC therapy is applied to treatment by concentrating platelets and white blood cells necessary for regeneration through simple centrifugation using autologous blood. As the platelets are activated, many growth factors are released from alpha granules of the platelets. Growth factors such as TGF-β1, PDGF, VEGF, and EGF derived from platelets are involved in various cell signaling pathway. Due to these growth factors, BCC can contribute to tissue regeneration and can treat various diseases. CD34+ cells contained in BCC may also play an important role in tissue regeneration. In this study, we investigated whether BCC has a regenerative effect on heart disease, and if so, what mechanism causes the effect. To observe this, cardiomyocyte cells were treated with H2O2 to induce oxidative stress. And the effect was confirmed in the presence or absence of BCC. As a result, in the presence of BCC, the oxidative stress of cardiomyocyte cells was reduced and cell damage was also reduced. These results suggest that BCC therapy can be a new treatment alternative for heart disease.
