Autologous cell therapy (ACT) is a new treatment method for diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) not eligible for standard revascularization. After intramuscular injection of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells local arteriogenesis in the ischemic tissue occurs. Studies assessing visualization of this therapeutic vasculogenesis after ACT by novel imaging techniques are lacking. The aim of our study was to assess the effect of ACT on possible metabolic changes and perfusion of critically ischemic limbs using (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( (31)P MRS) and its possible correlation with changes of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO(2)). Twenty-one patients with diabetes and no-option CLI treated by ACT in our foot clinic over 8 years were included in the study. TcPO(2) as well as rest (phosphocreatine, adenosine triphosphate and inorganic phosphate) and dynamic (mitochondrial capacity and phosphocreatine recovery time) (31)P-MRS parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months after cell treatment. TcPO(2) increased significantly after 3 months compared with baseline (from 22.4±8.2 to 37.6±13.3 mm Hg, p=0.0002). Rest and dynamic (31)P MRS parameters were not significantly different after ACT in comparison with baseline values. Our study showed a significant increase of TcPO(2) on the dorsum of the foot after ACT. We did not observe any changes of rest or dynamic (31)P MRS parameters in the area of the proximal calf where the cell suspension has been injected into.
