     the objective of the study is to investigate the effect of hypoxic preconditioning on the immunomodulatory properties of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (huc-mscs) and the effect of cotransplantation of huc-mscs and human umbilical cord blood (hucb)-derived cd34+ cells in a rabbit model of myocardial infarction. huc-mscs with or without hypoxic preconditioning by cobalt chloride were plated in a 24-well plate, and then cocultured with hucb-cd34+ cells and pbmcs for 96 h at 37 °c in a 5 % co2 incubator. for the negative control, huc-mscs were omitted. the groups were divided as follows: a1 = hp-mscs + hucb-cd34+cells + pbmc, a2 = huc-mscs + hucb-cd34+ cells + pbmc, negative control = hucb-cd34+cells + pbmc. culture supernatants of each group were collected, and the il-10 and ifn-γ levels were measured by elisa. a rabbit model of mi was established using a modified fujita method. the animals were then randomized into three groups and received intramyocardial injections of 0.4 ml of pbs alone (n = 8, pbs group), huc-mscs in pbs (n = 8, huc-mscs group), or huc-mscs + cd34+ cells in pbs (n = 8, cotrans group), at four points in the infarct border zone. echocardiography was performed at baseline, 4 weeks after mi induction, and 4 weeks after cell transplantation, respectively. stem cell differentiation and neovascularization in the infracted area were characterized for the presence of cardiac troponin i (ctni) and cd31 by immunohistochemical staining, and the extent of myocardial fibrosis was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (h&e) and masson’s trichrome. ifn-γ was 27.00 ± 1.11, 14.20 ± 0.81, and 7.22 ± 0.14 pg/ml, and il-10 was 31.68 ± 3.08, 61.42 ± 1.08, and 85.85 ± 1.80 pg/ml for the control, a1 and a2 groups, respectively, which indicated that hucb-cd34+ cells induced immune reaction of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, whereas both huc-mscs and hp-mscs showed an immunosuppressive effect, which, however, was attenuated by hypoxic preconditioning. the cotrans group had less collagen deposition in the infarcted myocardium and better heart function than the huc-mscs or pbs group. the presence of ctni-positive cells and cd31-positive tubular structures indicated the differentiation of stem cells into cardiomyocytes and neovascularization. the microvessel density was 12.19 ± 3.05/hp for the huc-mscs group and 31.63 ± 2.45/hp for the cotrans group, respectively (p < 0.01). as a conclusion, both huc-mscs and hp-mscs have an immunosuppressive effect on lymphocytes, which, however, can be attenuated by hypoxic preconditioning. cotransplantation of huc-mscs and hucb-cd34+ cells can improve heart function and decrease collagen deposition in post-mi rabbits. thus, a combined regimen of huc-mscs and hucb-cd34+ cells would be more desirable than either cells administered alone. this is most likely due to the increase of cardiomyocytes and enhanced angiogenesis in the infarcted myocardium.
