BACKGROUND: Research on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) for burns healing has been known to increase the percentage of integrin expression of α2β1, type I collagen, transforming growth factor-β, and matrix metalloproteinases-9, but research on giving hBM-MSCs to growth factor expression in the process of re-epithelialization of burn healing has not been done. AIM: This study aims to the effect of hBM-MSCs given on the expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and EGF receptor (EGFR) in the process re-epithelialization in the healing of burn experimental rat. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research is experimental with the post-test only control design, using 30 Wistar rats. Rats were divided into two groups, namely, control (phosphate-buffered saline), and the treatment was given hBM-MSCs, and stem cells were given subcutaneous doses of 2 × 106 cells/ml. Before being treated rats were anesthetized using xylazine and ketamine then the rats were burned in the dorsal (spine) with full-thickness. On the 3, 7, and 14 days, skin tissue was taken to see the expression of EGF and EGFR by immunohistochemical methods. This study was approved by the Ethics Commission of the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University, Padang. The results of the study were analyzed by the t-test. RESULTS: Immunohistochemical examination of EGF and EGFR expressions after hBM-MSCs administration has significantly increased epithelialization compared with controls. Increased EGF expression was found on days 3 and 7 with moderate positive internal revenue service (IRS) assessment and on day 14 strong positive EGF expression, as well as EGFR expression on days 3 and 7 with moderate positive IRS assessment and on day 14 robust positive EGFR expression. CONCLUSION: This study concluded that giving of hBM-MSCs can increase the expression of EGF and EGFR which enhances the process of re-epithelialization thereby accelerating the healing of burns of experimental rats.

Background: Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) could differentiate into dopamine-producing cells and ameliorate behavioral deficits in Parkinson’s disease (PD) models. Liver X receptors (LXRs) are involved in the maintenance of the normal function of central nervous system myelin. Therefore, the previous work of our team has found the induction of cocktail-induced to dopaminergic (DA) phenotypes from adult rat BMSCs by using sonic hedgehog (SHH), fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and TO901317 (an agonist of LXRs) with 87.42% of efficiency in a 6-day induction period. But we did not verify whether the induced cells had the corresponding neural function. Methods: Expressions of LXRα, LXRβ, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were detected by immunofluorescence and western blot. Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) was detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The induced cells were transplanted into PD rats to study whether the induced cells are working. Results: The induced cells can release the dopamine transmitter; the maximum induction efficiency of differentiation of hBMSCs into DA neurons was 91.67% under conditions of combined use with TO901317 and growth factors (GF). When the induced-cells were transplanted into PD rats, the expression of TH in the striatum increased significantly, and the behavior of PD rats induced by apomorphine was significantly improved. Conclusion: The induced cells have the function of DA neurons and have the potential to treat PD. TO901317 promoted differentiation of hBMSCs into DA neurons, which may be related to activation of the LXR-ABCA1 signaling pathway.

Abstract Hepatic transdifferentiation of bone marrow cells has been previously demonstrated by intravenous administration of donor cells, which may recirculate to the liver after undergoing proliferation and differentiation in the recipient's bone marrow. In the present study, to elucidate which cellular components of human bone marrow more potently differentiate into hepatocytes, we fractionated human bone marrow cells into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), CD34+ cells, and non-MSCs/CD34- cells and examined them by directly xenografting to allylalcohol (AA)-treated rat liver. Hepatocyte-like cells, as revealed by positive immunostaining for human-specific alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), albumin (Alb), cytokeratin 19 (CK19), cytokeratin 18 (CK18), and asialoglycoprotein receptor (AGPR), and by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for expression of AFP and Alb mRNA, were observed only in recipient livers with MSC fractions. Cell fusion was not likely involved since both human and rat chromosomes were independently identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The differentiation appeared to follow the process of hepatic ontogeny, reprogramming of gene expression in the genome of MSCs, as evidenced by expression of the AFP gene at an early stage and the albumin gene at a later stage. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that MSCs are the most potent component in hepatic differentiation, as revealed by directly xenografting into rat livers. (Blood. 2005;106:756-763)
