Mesenchymal stromal cells in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury

Abstract: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is an inevitable consequence of organ transplantation and a major determinant of patient and graft survival in kidney transplantation. Renal I/R injury can lead to fibrosis and graft failure. Although the exact sequence of events in the pathophysiology of I/R injury remains unknown, the role of inflammation has become increasingly clear. In this perspective, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are under extensive investigation as potential therapy for I/R injury, since MSCs are a… Show more

“…This property may help mitigating IRI (25, 26), rescuing marginal donor organs, reducing activation of innate immunity leading to progressive tissue fibrosis, and blunting ‘danger signals’ that could synergize with immune tolerance-inducing strategies ( Table 1 ).…”

“…Renal I/R injury in the early transplant period has been associated with acute rejection, delayed graft function, and late allograft failure (6) Mesenchymal stem cells of all bone marrow derived cells, hold special promise in attenuating kidney injury, since nephrons are largely of mesenchymal origin and stromal cells are of crucial importance for signaling leading to differentiation of both nephrons and collecting ducts (4).…”

“…MSC therapy has been reported to improve outcomes in animal models of acute lung I/R injury [28][29][30] and renal I/R injury. 31 However, the relevance of these rodent studies to the clinical use of hAMSC remains to be determined. Employing larger animal models may provide more clinically relevant data.…”
