Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) aid the regeneration of tissues damaged by treatment with cisplatin. However, the effects of this cytotoxic drug on the stem cells have been largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that human bone marrow-derived MSCs are relatively resistant to cisplatin treatment and show resistance levels comparable to these of differentiated fibroblasts. Cisplatin did not affect cellular morphology, adhesion or induction of apoptosis in MSCs. The potential for differentiation was preserved after exposure to cisplatin and established MSC surface markers were observed to be stably expressed irrespective of cisplatin treatment. Cytoskeletal rearrangements and high expression levels of individual heat shock proteins were detected in MSCs and may be partly responsible for the observed cisplatin resistance. The cisplatin-resistant phenotype of human MSCs supports the concept of further investigating these stem cells as a potential treatment option for cisplatin-induced tissue damage.

  • Cisplatin does not affect BM-MSCs' morphology, adhesion, viability, or differentiation potential.

    “For instance, Nicolay et al. studied the effect of cisplatin on BM-MSCs’ characteristics [109,115] and reported that it does not affect MSCs’ morphology, adhesion, viability, or differentiation potential.”

    From Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells: Immunomodulatory and Bone Regeneration Potential after Tumor Excision in Osteosarcoma Patients (2023) · cites this paper as [115]

    The Results sections report largely unchanged morphology and mostly preserved adhesion, but MSC2 adhesion fell significantly at the high dose. Differentiation was not abolished, yet high-dose cisplatin significantly reduced adipogenic differentiation; the viability results establish relative resistance compared with fibroblasts, not that viability was unaffected. The claim therefore overstates the findings. (LLM, conf=0.90)

  • Typical MSC-related surface markers CD73, CD90, and CD105 show stable expression levels upon cisplatin exposure.

    “Also, typical MSC-related surface markers, CD73, CD90, and CD105, show stable expression levels upon cisplatin exposure [109,115].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
