Chaophya Hospital, in collaboration with a leading biotechnology
firm, TheraVitae, is now
offerring state-of-the-art cell therapy for end-stage ischemic heart
patients for the first time
in Asia. Using autologous cell therapy, circulating adult stemcells
harvested from the patient's own blood, the cells are separated
from other blood cells and greatly expanded in
number in the laboratory using GMP manufacturing standards.
Approximately one week later these cells, called angiogenic progenitor
cells or APC's for
short, are re-infused back into the blood vessels supplying blood
flow to the heart muscle.
The injected cells migrate out of the blood vessel's lumen and take
hold in the ischemic muscle region where they stimulate the formation
of new blood vessels to bring more blood flow to the needy heart
muscle fibers.
In addition to being precursor cells for blood vessels, some of
the APC's are known to also morph into cardiac muscle cells, fuse
with heart muscle fibers and seecrete cytokines, molecules that
provide the homing signals to recruit other cells and molecules
to help rejuvenate the function of heart muscle. In this case, the
APC's transfused are expected to turn into or stimulate the formation
of new blood vessels.
