Objective To explore the effect and mechanisms of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on healing quality of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer. Methods Forty-eight clean grade male Wistar rats were used to establish the model of gastric ulcer with acetic acid and were randomly divided into 3 groups after 3 days of modeling, 16 rats each group. After the abdominal cavity was open and stomach was pulled out, no treatment was given in group A, 150 μL phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and 150 μL BMSCs at passage 4+PBS (1×108 cells/100 μL) were injected into the gastric wall surrounding the ulcer at 5 different points in groups B and C respectively. After 10 days, the ulcer area was measured, the mucosal thickness and the number of dilated glands were tested in the regenerative mucosa by histological method. And the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was detected at ulcerative margin by immunohistochemical method. Results The ulcer area in group C was significantly smaller than that of groups A and B (P<0.01), but no significant difference was found between groups A and B (P>0.05). HE staining showed that group C had thicker regenerative gastric mucosa, less dilated glands, and more regular mucosal structure than groups A and B, showing significant differences in regenerative gastric mucosa thickness and dilated glands number (P<0.01), but no significant difference between groups A and B (P>0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed that the positive expression of VEGF in the ulcer margin mucosa of group C was significantly higher than that of groups A and B. The integral absorbance (IA) value of VEGF expression in group C was significantly higher than that in groups A and B (P<0.01), but no significant difference between groups A and B (P>0.05). Conclusion BMSCs can accelerate ulcer healing by the secretion of VEGF, and improve the quality of ulcer healing.
