Abstract:BackgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multi-potent non-hematopoietic progenitor cells possessing an immune-regulatory function, with suppression of proliferation of activated lymphocytes. In this study, adult living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) recipients were given MSCs derived from the donor bone marrow to evaluate the safety and the feasibility of immunological changes related to the intra-osseous injection of MSC into the bone marrow.MethodsMSCs were derived from negative HLA cross-match donor… Show more
“…Multiple MSC clinical trials in SOT are registered with ClinicalTrials.gov ( Table 2 )(3, 5, 7, 8), but the overall worldwide number is likely higher (4, 9). The results from recent MSC trials in SOT are encouraging ( Table 3 ).…”

“…The procedure was safe, but three patients had biopsy-proven acute rejection that was controlled with corticosteroid pulse therapy. Donor-specific T cell proliferation was observed in two patients, while Treg priming responses were observed in two others associated with increased IL-10 levels in the peripheral blood [40]. 6 /kg administered at the time of kidney graft reperfusion and 2 weeks later plus either low-dose or standarddose CNI treatment.…”
“…Recently, there was a report on intraosseous donor mesenchymal stem cells for living-donor kidney transplant. 19 Induction therapy with autologous MSCs may be effective for related living-donor kidney transplant. 7 Induction with MSCs plus IL-2 receptor antibody was associated with lower incidence of rejection and with lower complications, such as leukopenia and infections.…”
Section: Cell Therapy Types In Solid-organ Transplantmentioning
In solid-organ transplant, cell therapy is used as an immunomodulation therapy or as a functioning graft (bioengineering medicine). Before such treatment can be more accepted among transplant societies, some uncertainties should be clarified.
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.
