Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of transplantation of allogeneic bone marrow hematopoietic cells(HCs)and mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)on experimental colitis(EC)in rats.Methods The HCs and MSCs obtained from SD male rats were cultured and expanded in vitro.In experiment 1 and 2 groups,HCs were labeled with bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)and MSCs were obtained using the tube wall attach technique,respectively.Seventy-two female rats were infused with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS)to induce EC models.After 24 hours,HC or MSC suspensions were injected into the rats in experimental 1(n=18)and 2(n=18)groups via caudal veins,respectively.Control animals were injected with isotonic saline.The whole colon was removed on day 7,14 and 21 after transplantation and examined histopathologically.BrdU labeled HCs were tested with immunohistochemical staining and MSCs were detected for sex-determining gene(sry)by PCR.Results EC models were successfully established.The HCs or MSCs grew rapidly in the culture suspension.On day 7,14 and 21 after transplantation,the BrdU immunoreactive cells were detected in the colon(6/6),and the positive expression of the sry gene was found in 1/6,2/6 and 3/6,respectively.No positive labeled cell was found in controls.There was no significant improvement in histopathological scores on the colon in two experimental groups compared with the controls.Conclusions Allogeneic HCs and MSCs may localize in the colon of EC models.The ability of localization is higher in HCs than MSCs.The transplantation of HCs and MSCs can not obviously improve histopathologically.
