Then, model rats were randomized into model group treated with normal saline injection and experimental group treated with hippocampal injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, respectively. Another 10 rats undergoing normal feeding served as control group. Learning and memory ability of rats were tested by Morris water maze, and superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde content in brain tissues of rats were measured by colorimetric method at 4 weeks after cell transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the escape latency was shortened and the cross-platform frequency was increased in the experimental group (P < 0.05), and moreover, significantly elevated superoxide dismutase activity and reduced malondialdehyde content in the brain tissues of rats were found in the experimental group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation contributes to behavior improvement in senile dementia rats by improving the learning and memory ability.

瑞舒伐他汀联合脐血间充质干细胞移植改善急性心肌梗死后心功能

BACKGROUND:In recent years, it has been a hot topic that stem cell transplantation is used to improve cardiac insufficiency after acute myocardial infarction by inducing regeneration of cardiomyocytes in the infarction regions. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of rosuvastatin combined with umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells transplantation on rat cardiac function after acute myocardial infarction. METHODS:Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were enrolled to prepare myocardial infarction models by ligaturing the left anterior descending coronary artery. Then they were equivalently divided into model group, transplantation group and combination group. At 7 days after modeling, rats in the combination group were given injection of 300 μL umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (15.0×10⁸) via the tail vein and by gavage once a day for 28 days with 1 mg/kg rosuvastatin; rats in the transplantation group and model group were injected with 300 μL umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension through the tail veins or the same amount of LG-DMEM medium, respectively, followed by intragastrical administration of the same amount normal saline. At 5 weeks after modeling, indexes of cardiac function, level of plasma Lp-PLA2 and heat shock protein 70 in the infarction regions were detected by color Doppler ultrasound, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blot assay, respectively. In addition, pathological changes of myocardial tissues were observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular end-systolic pressure were significantly higher in the combination group than in the transplantation group as well as higher in the transplantation group than the model group (P < 0.05); compared with the transplantation group, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was significantly decreased in the combination group, but significantly increased in the model group (P < 0.05); the number of cardiomyocytes in the infarction regions was significantly higher in the combination group than the other groups. Additionally, expression of heat shock protein 70 in the infarction regions was significantly increased in the combination group (P < 0.05). To conclude, rosuvastatin combined with umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can significantly improve rat cardiac function after myocardial infarction.     

脐血间充质干细胞移植修复急性肠缺血再灌注损伤

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can repair intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injuny by interfering inflammatory reactions after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion to protect intestinal barrier functions. In recent years, umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells are gradually used as a substitute source of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells on acute intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:Umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells were induced, isolated in vitro and tracked by CM-DiI fluorescent labeling. Sixty-three Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomized into three groups: control group received normal saline enema, intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury group with ethanol diluted trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid and transplantation group administrated with 1×10¹⁰/L umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension via the tail vein at 1 hour after trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid modeling. At 3 days after transplantation, colon tissues were removed in each group to observe pathological changes of the intestinal tract by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Besides, expression of leptin mRNA in the colon tissues and cyclooxygenase-2 in the mucosa were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry method, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Transplanted umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells distributed in the intestinal lymphoid tissue and among glandular epithelial cells, suggesting that these stem cells might be involved in the process of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury repair. Compared with the control group, intestinal injury in the injury group was significantly aggravated, and most intestinal epithelial cells shed; and the transplantation group appeared to have significantly reduced intestinal damage and significantly less cell shedding. Expression of leptin mRNA was significantly higher in the injury group than the transplantation group followed by the control group, and there were significant differences among the three groups (P < 0.05). Additionally, expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the injury group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05); compared with the injury group, expression of cyclooxygenase-2 was significantly lower in the transplantation group (P < 0.05). To conclude, leptin and cyclooxygenase-2 may be involved in acute intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell transplantation significantly lessens intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, which provides an experimental basis for human treating acute intestinal ischemic injury.

不同孕周人脐带间充质干细胞移植改善心肌梗死模型心脏功能的比较

BACKGROUND: Stem cells have multi-directional differentiation and self-replication abilities, under certain conditions, which can differentiate into myocardial cells to repair the damaged myocardium. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of transplantation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells derived at different gestational weeks on infarct size and angiogenesis in the infarct region of experimental rabbits with myocardial infarction. METHODS: Ten full-term umbilical cord samples and 10 umbilical cord samples of aborted fetuses at 10-12 gestation weeks were selected to in vitro isolate umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells that were subjected to BrdU labeling. HLA-G expression was detected in the cells. Thirty white rabbits were selected to make myocardial infarction models, and 2 weeks after modeling, the model rabbits were randomized into aborted cell transplantation group, full-term cell transplantation group and control group (n=10 per group). Then, BrdU-labeled cells were injected correspondingly into the infarct region of rabbits in the two cell transplantation groups. Rabbits in the control group were subjected to an equal volume of serum-free. Four weeks after transplantation, heart function of rabbits was monitored using electrocardiogram, and myocardial tissues were taken to measure infarct size and blood capillary density. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: HLA-G expression was different in different sources of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells: high HLA-G expression was found in the aborted umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and meanwhile, low HLA-G expression was found in the full-term umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Compared with the control group, the left ventricular end-diastolic volume and left ventricular ejection fraction of aborted and full-term cell transplantation groups were significantly improved, especially in the aborted cell transplantation group (P < 0.05). BrdU-positive cells were found in the infarct site in both transplantation groups. Compared with the control group, the infarct size and capillary density were improved most significantly in the aborted cell transplantation group followed by the full-term cell transplantation group (P < 0.05). Electrocardiogram findings showed significant improvement in both cell transplantation groups compared with the control group (P < 0.05), especially in the aborted cell transplantation group. These findings indicate that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells derived at low gestational weeks improve the heart function more significantly than the full-term umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, which have the potential to become a better source of cardiomyocytes for transplantation.     

人脐血间充质干细胞移植联合神经节苷脂注射治疗脑性瘫痪

BACKGROUND:In recent years, some studies have demonstrated that ganglioside can promote survival and differentiation of umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of injection of human umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells and ganglioside into rat lateral ventricles on neurological functional recovery from cerebral palsy. METHODS:Totally 60 cerebral palsy neonatal rats were delivered from pregnant rats which were modes were given intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide for 2 successive days on day 17 of gestation. Then those neonatal rats were randomly divided into five groups, including model group (n=10), sham transplantation group (n=10), stem cell transplantation group (n=18), ganglioside group (n=10) and combination group (n=12). Under stereotaxic instrument, umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells or ganglioside were injected into left lateral ventricles of the rat brain, respectively, and the sham transplantation group was given the same volume of phosphate buffered saline. Two rats from the stem cell transplantation group were put to death for immunofluorescence staining at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after transplantation, respectively, and two rats in the combination group were killed for immunofluorescence staining at 14 days. Besides, all rats were underwent neurologic evaluation at 28 days after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells could survive, migrate and differentiate, which mainly distributed in the lateral ventricle, hippocampus and cortex. At 14 days after transplantation, positive expressions of BrdU and glial fibrillary acidic protein in the combination group were significantly higher than those in the stem cell transplantation group (P < 0.05). In addition, compared with the model group, the holding time significantly prolonged and foot error times significantly decreased in the latter three groups (P < 0.05), as well as in the combination group compared with the stem cell transplantation and ganglioside groups (P < 0.05). These results indicate that umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells and ganglioside can both improve neurological function of rats with cerebral palsy. Given that ganglioside can promote survival and differentiation of umbilical blood cord mesenchymal stem cells in vivo, the combined transplantation is preferred.

脐血干细胞移植干预妊娠期高血压模型大鼠的作用

BACKGROUND:With the depth understanding of mesenchymal stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells are found to exert a prominent effect on immune regulation and anti-inflammation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation on endotoxin-induced hypertension in pregnant rats. METHODS:Twenty-four pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups with eight rats in each group: control, model and experimental groups. Endotoxin-induced hypertension models were made in the model and experimental groups. Meanwhile, rats were given intravenous injection of umbilical cord blood stem cell suspension (1 mL) in the experimental groups and the same volume of normal saline in the control and model groups. Therapeutic effects of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation were observed through detection of systolic blood pressure, urine protein level, serum white blood cell quantity and Ang II and ET-1 expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the systolic blood pressure, urine protein level and serum white blood cell quantity of rats were increased significantly in the model group, and over time, endotoxin continuously promoted these parameters in the model group. After cell transplantation, a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure, urine protein level and serum white blood cell quantity of rats was found in the experimental group compared with the model group (P < 0.05). After modeling, the expression levels of Ang II and ET-1 were decreased significantly, while these levels were increased significantly after cell transplantation (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation may have a certain therapeutic effect on gestational hypertension in rats, which may be realized by regulating the secretion of endothelial injury-related factors.
