Transplantation of Bone Marrow–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improves Diabetic Polyneuropathy in Rats
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE—Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to secrete various cytokines that exhibit angiogenic and neurosupportive effects. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of MSC transplantation on diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) in rats. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of adult rats and transplanted into hind limb skeletal muscles of rats with an 8-week duration of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes or age-matched normal rats by unilateral intramuscular injection. Four weeks after transplantation, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) productions in transplanted sites, current perception threshold, nerve conduction velocity (NCV), sciatic nerve blood flow (SNBF), capillary number–to–muscle fiber ratio in soleus muscles, and sural nerve morphometry were evaluated. RESULTS—VEGF and bFGF mRNA expression were significantly increased in MSC-injected thigh muscles of STZ-induced diabetic rats. Furthermore, colocalization of MSCs with VEGF and bFGF in the transplanted sites was confirmed. STZ-induced diabetic rats showed hypoalgesia, delayed NCV, decreased SNBF, and decreased capillary number–to–muscle fiber ratio in soleus muscles, which were all ameliorated by MSC transplantation. Sural nerve morphometry showed decreased axonal circularity in STZ-induced diabetic rats, which was normalized by MSC transplantation. CONCLUSIONS—These results suggest that MSC transplantation could have therapeutic effects on DPN through paracrine actions of growth factors secreted by MSCs.

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.
