چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: Cardiac glycosides such as digoxin or digitoxin are the natural products that are traditionally used to increase cardiac contractile force in patients with heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. It has been shown that digoxin can directly inhibit the cell proliferation and lead to cell apoptosis. Present study was conducted to analyze the effect of digoxin in the cohorts of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) -based therapy. Methods: MSCs were cultured and treated with different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 μM) of digoxin for 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. MTT assay was performed to study cell viability and proliferation. Results: After 24 and 48 hours, cell viability was significantly decreased in 20, 30 and 40 μM concentrations (P<0.05), but significant decline in cell viability was observed only in 40 μM after 12 hours (P0.05). Conclusion: It is suggested that digoxin may lead to decline in cell survival ability and increase in cell apoptosis in a dose-time dependent pattern. It is recommended to consider application of glycosoids in concurrence with stem cell therapy.

DNA damage in dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells: An in vitro study

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of a DNA comet assay, DNA fragmentation fluorimetric assay and reactive oxygen species levels as potential biomarkers of genome conditions of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) isolated from dog canine teeth. Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the dental pulp collected from dog teeth. The results obtained suggest the ideal moment for cl...

Human mesenchymal stem cells are resistant to cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of cisplatin in vitro

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known for their important properties involving multilineage differentiation potential., trophic factor secretion and localization along various organs and tissues. On the dark side, MSCs play a distinguished role in tumor microenvironments by differentiating into tumor-associated fibroblasts or supporting tumor growth via distinct mechanisms. Cisplatin (CIS) is...

In-vitro Differentiation of Human Umbilical Cord Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Insulin-Producing Cells

  Background & Objective: Diabetes is a major chronic metabolic disease in the world. Islet transplantation is a way to treat diabetes. Unfortunately, this method is restricted due to graft rejection and lack of donor islets. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCS) have the ability to differentiate into Insulin-Producing Cells (IPCs). In this study, Human Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HUMSCS) were in...
