The immunosuppressive activity of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is well documented. However, the therapeutic benefit completely unpredictable, thus raising concerns about MSC efficacy. One affecting factors unresolved conundrum that, despite being immunosuppressive, MSCs are undetectable after administration. Therefore, understanding fate infused could help predict clinical responses. Using a murine model graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), we demonstrate that actively induced to undergo...
Background. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a crucial role in hematopoietic development and have been shown to exert powerful immunosuppressive effect. In this study, we investigated the effect of bone marrow MSC on differentiation function peripheral blood monocytes into dendritic (DCs). Methods. Human MSCs, generated from normal marrow, were added stimulated vitro with granulocyte–macrophage colony stimulating factor interleukin-4 become DCs. Monocytes then examined for expression...
A recently discovered mutation in coagulation factor V (Arg506-->Gln, referred to as Leiden), which results resistance activated protein C, is found approximately one fifth of patients with venous thromboembolism. However, the risk recurrent thromboembolism heterozygous carriers this genetic abnormality unknown.We searched for Leiden 251 unselected a first episode symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis diagnosed by venography. The were followed prospectively mean 3.9 years determine frequency and...
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells are promising nanotherapeutics in liver diseases due to their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. Nevertheless, a concern has been raised regarding the rapid clearance of exogenous EVs by phagocytic cells. Here we explore impact protein corona on two culturing conditions which specific proteins acquired media were simultaneously adsorbed EV surface. Additionally, incubating with serum, simulating formation...
A phase I study was performed to determine the safety and tolerability of injecting autologous CD34(+) cells into five patients with liver insufficiency. The based on hypothesis that cell population in granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized blood contains a subpopulation potential for regenerating damaged tissue. We separated candidate stem from majority (99%) by adherence tissue culture plastic. adherent nonadherent were distinct morphology, immunophenotype, gene expression...
Although it has been widely demonstrated that human mesenchymal stem cells exert potent immunosuppressive effects, there is little information as to whether more mature stromal (SC) share the same property. Accordingly, we set out test ability of SC from different tissues inhibit proliferation PBMC following polyclonal stimuli. Chondrocytes, well fibroblasts synovial joints, lung, and skin, were used a source SC. Irrespective their differentiation potential and/or content progenitor cells,...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a type of multipotent progenitor cell, originally isolated from the bone marrow. In addition to multilineage differentiation and participation in hematopoietic niche, they exert powerful immunomodulatory effects, which include inhibition proliferation function T cells, B natural killer cells. These unique properties make MSC great interest for clinical applications tissue engineering immunosuppression. Underlying MSC-mediated mechanisms is nonspecific...
