Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) transplantation via renal artery in treating experimental rats with adriamycin-induced chronic nephro -pathy.Methods A total of 50 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used as experimental animals.Two rats were used for the isolation and culture of BMSC.Twelve rats were designed as blank control group (group N);in other 36 rats adriamycin was injected through caudal vein to establish rat models of chronic nephropathy,these 36 rats were randomly and equally divided into three groups with 12 rats in each group:control group (group C,n=12),BMSC transplantation via renal artery group (group A,n=12),and BMSC transplantation via caudal vein group (group V,n=12).For the rats of group N,the same amount of normal saline was injected through caudal vein.Results At each observation point,the levels of blood urea nitrogen,serum creatinine,24 h urinary protein and 24 h urinary microprotein in group A,V and C were remarkably higher than those in group N (P<0.01).One and two weeks after BMSC transplantation,the 24 h urinary microprotein level in group A was significantly lower than that in group C (P<0.01);the serum creatinine level in group A was significantly lower than that in group C and group V (P<0.01).One week after BMSC transplantation,both the 24 h urinary protein level and 24 h urinary microprotein level in group A were strikingly lower than those in group V (P<0.01),but two weeks after BMSC transplantation these differences between group A and group V became not statistically significant.Conclusion BMSC transplantation via renal artery can improve cell-homing efficiency and improve the repair of damaged tissue as well.
