Doxorubicin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, but its clinical use is restricted because of a high risk of cardiotoxicity. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) may repair ischaemically damaged myocardium through transdifferentiation and paracrine action. The aim of this study is to investigate if doxorubicin causes the apoptosis of BMSCs and in turn impairs its healing ability.
