This study aimed to determine whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord blood (UCB) would promote cutaneous wound healing. MSCs from human UCB were isolated and identified. The characteristics of the isolated MSCs' growth and proliferation were assayed in vitro. The MSCs labeled with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) were applied on fresh cutaneous mice wounds. The healing rates were surveyed. The distribution and the differentiation into keratinocytes of the labeled MSCs in the wound tissue were checked by immunohistochemistry staining. The isolated MSCs could grow and proliferate well in vitro. The isolated MSCs from UCB could be labeled by 5-bromodeoxyuridine successfully. The MSCs derived from UCB could enhance the healing of mice skin defect wounds, and it was found that the implanted MSCs could differentiate into keratinocyte in the wound tissue. It was demonstrated that MSCs from UCB can be isolated and proliferated successfully. The local administration of MSCs derived from UCB improves skin defect wound healing in mice.
Our data provide new evidence for the contribution of spinal Sirt1 to the initiation and maintenance of neuropathic pain. The antinociceptive effects of resveratrol may be mediated through the activation of spinal Sirt1 in CCI rats.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
