This study aimed to investigate the effects of combined recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) therapy and bone mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation on cell survival in myocardial tissues and on heart function in a rat model of heart failure (HF). Rat BMSCs were isolated, amplified and adherent cultured in vitro. A rat model of HF was established via the intraperitoneal inj...

Secretomes of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are emerging as a novel growth factor (GF)-based strategy for periodontal and bone regeneration. The objective this study was to compare the secretome human marrow MSC (BMSC) that leukocyte- platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), an established GF-based therapy, in context wound healing Conditioned media from BMSCs (BMSC-CM) L-PRF (LPRF-CM) were subjected q...

background: bone marrow stromal cells (bmsc) are used as a source for cell therapy in different model for neurological disorder such as stroke and spinal cord injury. however, the transdifferentiation of bmsc into cholinergic phenotype requires more investigation. methods: bmsc were isolated from adult rats, pre-induced with β-mercaptoethanol (bme) and followed by nerve growth factor (ngf) indu...

Despite the successes of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injuries, only a small fraction of grafted cells migrate to the target areas. Therefore, there remains a need for more efficient strategies of BMSC delivery. The present study was designed to explore this. Rat models of spinal cord injury (SCI) were established and exposed to phosp...

The possibility of using adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ATSC) as alternatives to bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSC) for bone repair has garnered interest due to the accessibility, high cell yield, and rapid in vitro expansion of ATSC. For clinical relevance, their bone forming potential in comparison to BMSC must be proven. Distinct differences between ATSC and BMSC have been obser...

AIMS Recent data suggest that the administration of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSC) might improve myocardial perfusion and left ventricular (LV) function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to assess spontaneous mobilization of BMSC expressing the haematopoietic and endothelial progenitor cell-associated antigen CD34+ after AMI and its relation to post-infar...

BACKGROUND Cell therapy of many neurodegenerative diseases using bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) requires the differentiation of BMSC into neuronal subtype. However, the transdifferentiation of BMSC into GABAergic phenotype requires more investigation. METHODS In this study, BMSC of adult female rats were pre-induced into neuroblast-like cells using 1 mM beta-mercaptoethanol (betaME) and 10 ...

The therapeutic action of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in acute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported by several groups. However, recent studies indicated that BMSCs homed to kidney tissues at very low levels after transplantation. The lack of specific homing of exogenously infused cells limited the effective implementation of BMSC-based therapies. In this study, we provid...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) represent a promising tool for stem cell-based therapies. However, the majority of BMSC transplants only allow for limited recovery of the lost functions. We previously found that human cerebrospinal fluid (hCSF) is more potent than growth factors in differentiating human BMSCs into neuron-like cells in vitro. In this study, we studied the effect of tr...

In the present study we provided a morphological and transcriptomic comparison of adult porcine adiposederived stem cells (ADSC) and bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSC) as they differentiated in vitro towards the osteogenic and adipogenic lineages for up to 4 weeks. The long term goal of this comparison is to assess the possibility of using ADSC as a potential alternative to BMSC as a source ...
