Abstract
Despite major progress in stem cell therapy, our knowledge of the characteristics and tissue regeneration potency of long-term transported cells is insufficient. In a previous in vitro study, we established the optimal cell transport conditions for amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs). In the present study, the target tissue regeneration of long-term transported cells was validated in vivo. For renal regeneration, transported AFSCs were seeded on a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) scaffold and implanted in a partially resected kidney. The target tissue regeneration of the transported cells was compared with that of freshly harvested cells in terms of morphological reconstruction, histological microstructure reformation, immune cell infiltration, presence of induced cells, migration into remote organs, expression of inflammation/fibrosis/renal differentiation-related factors, and functional recovery. The kidney implanted with transported cells showed recovery of total kidney volume, regeneration of glomerular/renal tubules, low CD4/CD8 infiltration, and no occurrence of cancer during 40 weeks of observation. The AFSCs gradually disappeared and did not migrate into the liver, lung, or spleen. We observed low expression levels of pro-infla...Continue Reading
