II. REPORT SYNOPSIS The Role of Stem Cells in Repairing the Heart A study was recently conducted wherein it was conclusively proved that stem cell therapies do have a future role to play in the repairing of the heart. Human adult stem cells extracted from the bone marrow can produce vascular endothelial cells after their transplantation is effected into rats. In one such study using the rat model, the left anterior descending coronary artery was manually constricted and thus a heart attack was induced. A population of human hematopoietic stem cells was diligently identified as they obviously cause the production of new blood vessels. This investigation was similar to the Jackson study. The stem cells were seen to exhibit the property of plasticity. Now, plasticity in stem cells signifies that the cells could develop into cell types that they would routinely not tend to become. These stem cells were then made use of in the formation of new blood vessels in the damaged portions of the heart. Thereby, proliferation of the preexisting vasculature was encouraged, following the induced heart attack. Thus, it is observed that human hematopoietic stem cells have the potential to develop into an array of tissue types including cardiac musculature given the suitable culture conditions. The human hematopoietic stem cells were first injected into the bloodstream that entered into the damaged heart of the rat model. It was noted that these cells could obviate the cessation of the thickened or hypertrophied myocardial cells. These myocardial cells though damaged were viable. The investigation also noted the reduction of the progressive development of collagen scars and fibers. The other groups of rats, which were surgically treated in a controlled condition, that had their left anterior descending coronary arteries intact, or those, that had their left anterior descending coronary arteries ligated, were observed. It was found that those control rats that were injected with control cells or saline did not exhibit any enhancement in their quantity of blood vessels. The identification of the hematopoietic cells could be performed on the basis of highly specific cell markers. Eventually, it is possible to differentiate them from cardiomyocyte precursor cells. Thus the cells can be utilized as they are, or in association with other pharmacological therapies, or myocyte-regeneration designs. Human embryonic stem cell research is a subject that is attracting immeasurable attention. So much so, that new findings in the area of cardiomyocyte regeneration are regularly taking place. Human embryonic stem cells have shown their capability to differentiate into any cell type in the adult human body and have therefore become a new source population presenting the potential to change into cardiac-repair cells. This was pioneered by Itskovitz-Eldor and associates who showed the world that the human embryonic stem cells can reproducibly differentiate, given appropriate culture, into embryoid bodies comprising of cell types, which exist in the human body’s three embryonic germ layers.

Among the different cell types, can be found cells that exhibited the physical appearance of cardiomyocytes. These cells showed cellular markers that had the properties of heart cells. When they were carefully studied under a microscope, they were found to demonstrate contractile activity akin to cardiomyocytes. At the early part of research activity in this field, the functional and structural attributes of the initial stage of cardiomyocytes in the cells that develop from the embryoid bodies, were displayed. Those cells that exhibit contracting activity readily were identified with the use of markers. The markers were used with antibodies to proteins that exist in the heart tissue. The proteins in the heart tissue are cardiac troponin, antinaturietic protein, desmin, myosin heavy chain and alpha-actinin. Upon conducting a genetic analysis of these cells it was noticed that the transcription-factor genes that were expressed were in conformity with early stage cardiomyocytes. The electrical recordings from these cells were then carefully observed. In this study, it was seen that changes did take place in the calcium-ion movement inside the cells. Another factor namely, the contractile responsiveness to catecholamine hormone stimulation by the cells was studied. It was found that these observations were akin to responsiveness, changes and recordings that were made in early cardiomyocytes, when mammalian development was being investigated into.

III. MARKET DYNAMICS Market Overview Stem cells give advanced information about how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells replace damaged cells in adult organisms. This is a very promising area of science and has huge disease-curing applications. Stem cells are as much part of controversy as they are exciting. They possess the potential for curing diseases including Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s. Stem cell research itself is controversial as the stem cells are derived from embryos. Growth of stem cells market worldwide is basically driven by the potential of stem cells for the various diseases. For example, embryonic stem cells are capable of generating new tissues and organs to replace the damaged tissues and organs. Exhibit 4.

IV. PRODUCT/TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH Ever since scientists discovered the great potential that stem cells have in the repair and regeneration of the body, they have wondered whether stem cells in the heart can generate new tissue to repair damages such as those caused by a heart attack. Now investigations have revealed a reservoir of stem cells that could indeed help generate new cells in case of damage to the heart. Experiments with cardiac stem cells isolated in rats show that they have the ability to repair injured tissue when injected into the heart. Stem cell therapy is seen as an ideal method for treating cardiac disorders associated with heart muscle injury. Pre-clinical studies in animal models of acute myocardial infarction appear to be promising for repairing damaged cardiac muscle and generating new blood vessel formation in the infarcted area. Stem cell research offers great therapeutic potential and is relevant to basic science researchers, clinicians and patients. Exhibit 5.

STEM CELLS IN CARDIOLOGY - OUTLOOK The concept of stem cell transplantation to regenerate the myocardium and better the working of the heart has received a great deal of attention in recent times. Small-scale studies in the pre-clinical and clinical stages support the use of stem cells in treating heart disease. However similar such studies must be carried out on a larger-scale to corroborate the findings and prove stem cell therapy as a viable alternative method of treating patients with heart disease. Cells in heart’s muscle are not capable of replacing themselves, and therefore the heart does not return to normal functioning levels once some of these cells are damaged. Other than stem cells therapy and surgery, there are hardly any effective methods available for treating cardiovascular ailments. This leaves people with congestive heart failure, heart attack, and congenital heart diseases with little hope to improve their quality of life. Though transplanting of heart is an effective technique, donors of heart are few in number. This is where adult stem cell therapy comes in. Adult stem cells are able to coax the existing cells in the heart’s muscles to produce new heart-muscle cells. Adult stem cell therapy for treating heart diseases has been examined in medical tests for efficacy as well as adverse effects. These tests have proved that such stem cell therapy is much better and safer than many existing procedures for treating cardiovascular diseases. This is the reason adult stem cell therapy is gaining importance in cardiac stem cell research. The global market for Stem Cells in Cardiology is projected to reach about US$ XX.XX billion by 2020 at a CAGR of about XX.XX % from a market of about US$ XX.XX billion in 2012. Adult stem cells market is the largest tapped market while cord blood and embryonic stem cell markets, though with huge market potential, are still in infancy stages. Embryonic stem cells to treat cardiac disorders is the topic of Interest. But, due to its various ethical issues, is mired in debates all over the world……………………………..
