Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are used to repair hypoxic or ischemic tissue. After hypoxic the level of ATP is decreases, cellular functions do not continue and apoptosis or necrosis occur. Apoptosis is a progress of programmed cell death that occurs in normal or pathological conditions. In this study, we were investigated the hypoxic effect on apoptosis in mesenchymal stem cell. Bone marrow-derived stem cells were cultured in hypoxic (1% or 3%) or normoxic conditions 24, 96 well plates for 36 h. Cell viability was shown by MTT assay on 36 h. After fixation of cells with 4% paraformaldehyde, distributions of caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax with indirect immunoperoxidase technique, apoptotic cells with TUNEL assay were investigated. All staining results were evaluated using H-score analyses method with ANOVA, statistically. As a result, hypoxic condition was toxic for human mesenchymal stem cells and the number of death cell was higher in that than normoxic condition.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a metabolic disease characterized by decreased bone mass and increased risk of fragility fractures, which significantly reduces the quality of life. Stem cell-based therapies, especially using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), are a promising strategy for treating OP. Nevertheless, the survival and differentiation rates of the transplanted BMSCs are low, which limits their therapeutic efficiency. Icariin (ICA) is a traditional Chinese medicine formulation that is prescribed for tonifying the kidneys. It also promotes the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, although the specific mechanism remains unclear. Based on our previous research, we hypothesized that ICA promotes bone formation via the sclerostin/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. We isolated rat BMSCs and transfected them with sclerostin gene (SOST) overexpressing or knockdown constructs and assessed osteogenic induction in the presence or absence of ICA. Sclerostin significantly inhibited BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, whereas the presence of ICA not only increased the number of viable BMSCs but also enhanced ALP activity and formation of calcium nodules during osteogenic induction. In addition, the osteogenic genes including Runx2, β-catenin, and c-myc as well as antioxidant factors (Prdx1, Cata, and Nqo1) were downregulated by sclerostin and restored by ICA treatment. Mechanistically, ICA exerted these effects by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In conclusion, ICA can promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in situ and therefore may enhance the therapeutic efficiency of BMSC transplantation in OP.

Aim. To study of the functional properties of autologous mesenchymal multipotent stem cells in patients with cirrhosis of different etiologies. Methods. Studied were the functional and phenotypic properties of autologous mesenchymal stem cells derived from the bone marrow in 35 patients (26 men and 9 women) with cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 19-53 years. Among the patients studied viral etiology was diagnosed in 18 (51.4%), alcohol - in 13 (37.1%), autoimmune - in 4 (11.4%) patients with liver cirrhosis. Results. Autologous mesenchymal stem cells from all of the observed patients were able to divide. The highest yield and the doubling rate of cell populations were observed in patients with viral cirrhosis. Comparative morphometric study of primary cultures derived stem cells in patients with autoimmune and alcoholic hepatitis, showed the presence of relatively small cells (less than 20 microns), which make up about 30% of the total number of cells. At the same time, in bone marrow derived cell cultures of patients with viral etiology of the disease the number of small cells was 1.5 times greater which makes approximately 49% of the total cell population. The vast majority of cultured stem cells, regardless of the etiology of cirrhosis express specific for these cells «stromal» markers - CD73, CD90 and CD105. Autologous mesenchymal stem cells isolated from bone marrow of patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis characterized by the most pronounced pro-inflammatory, immunoregulatory potential. Conclusion. Functional and phenotypic properties of autologous mesenchymal stem cells in various forms of cirrhosis are different which requires adequate cultivation and correction before their transplantation.

Transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells has attracted more and more attention as a regenerative therapy for the treatment of liver diseases. A large number of studies have shown that this kind of cells can inhibit the activation of hepatic stellate cells and regulate tissue homeostasis and immune system via a variety of ways. Meanwhile, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can inhibit apoptosis of hepatocyte, improve liver function, and reduce inflammation through multiple pathways. These cells have a broad prospect in the treatment of liver cirrhosis. At present, there are many studies on the specific mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in the treatment of liver cirrhosis. This paper reviews the pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis and the mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in the treatment of liver cirrhosis, discusses the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine method in enhancing the efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation, and looks forward to its application prospect in the future.

Particulate matter (PM) contains heavy metals that affect various cellular functions and gene expression associated with an array of acute and chronic diseases, in humans. However, their specific effects on the stem cells remain unclear. Here, we report the effects of PM collected from Jeddah city on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) on proliferation, cell death, related gene expression and systems biological analysis aiming to understand the underlying mechanisms. Two different sizes (PM2.5-10) were tested in vitro at various concentrations (15 to 300 µg/ml) and durations (24 to 72 h). PMs induced cellular stress including membrane damage, shrinkage and death. Lower concentrations of PM2.5 increased BM-MSCs proliferation, while higher concentrations decreased it. PM10 decreased BM-MSCs proliferation in a concentration-dependant manner. The X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometric analysis showed that PM contains high levels of heavy metals. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) and hierarchical clustering analyses showed that heavy metals were associated with signalling pathways involving cell stress/death, cancer and chronic diseases. qRT-PCR results showed differential regulation of the apoptosis genes (BCL2, BAX); upregulation of inflammation associated genes (TNF-a and IL-6) and downregulation of cell cycle regulation gene (P53). We conclude that PM could affect different cellular functions and predispose to debilitating diseases.
