  • Intrapulmonary Delivery of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Can Attenuate Chroic Inflammation of Emphysematous Rats

    Objective Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been suggested to play an important role in the treatment of a variety of pulmonary diseases. The present study was aimed at evaluating the therapeutical effect of MSCs transplantation on emphysematous rats,and explore its influence in local and systemic inflammation. Methods Emphysema rat model was established by cigarette smoking. MSCs were transfected with lentivirus vector carrying green fluorecent protein (GFP) and the transfected MSCs in lung of smoke rats were detected by imaging system for small animals. Thirty-six SD rats were randomly divided into a control group,an emphysema group,and a MSCs transplantation group. The total and differential cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured. TNF-α and IL-1β levels in BALF and serum were measured by ELISA. Malonaldehyde (MDA) level in lung tissue was detected by chromatometry. Emphysema changes were evaluated by mean linear intercept (MLI) of lung under light microscope by HE staining. Results The transfected MSC in different lung lobes were found to be alive at four weeks after intrapulmonary delivery. Compared with the emphysema group,the total cell count in BALF,TNF-α and IL-1β levels in BALF and serum,MDA level in lung tissue and MLI were significantly reduced intheMSCs transplantation group(Plt;0.01). Conclusions Transplantation of MSCs can mediate down-regulation of TNF-α and IL-1β in BALF and serum,attenuate inflammation,oxidative stress and emphysema change of lung,suggesting that MSCs have significant therapeutic effects on emphysema.
