Therapeutic Effects of Genetically Modified Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells Expressing Erythropoietin on Breast Cancer-related Anemia in Mice Model
Abstract:Cancer-related anemia (CRA) negatively influences cancer patients’ survival, disease progression, treatment efficacy, and quality of life. Therefore, development of long-lasting and curative therapies is highly required. In this study, we developed cell and gene therapy strategy for in-vivo delivery of EPO cDNA via genetic engineering human Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (hWJMSCs) to long-term produce human EPO protein after transplantation into the mice model of CRA. To evaluate CRA's treatment in can… Show more
