The expression of CD68 in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells: new evidences of presence in non-myeloid cell types.
2009
Since their first identification in bone marrow [2],MSC have attracted much attention for thei r potential todifferentiate towards several mature tissues. The efforts ofthe researchers aimed in finding new tissues, whichshould provide adequate cell numbers for regenerativemedicine applications (and between them, extraembryonicsources as umbilical cord and amniotic membrane, arebeing viewed with extreme interest).
Isolation and characterization of Oct-4+/HLA-G+ mesenchymal stem cells from human umbilical cord matrix: differentiation potential and detection of n…
2008
The presence of multipotent cells in several adult and embryo-related tissues opened new paths for their use in regenerative medicine. Extraembryonic tissues such as umbilical cord are considered a promising source of stem cells, potentially useful in therapy. The characterization of cells from the umbilical cord matrix (Wharton''s Jelly) and amniotic membrane revealed the presence of a population of mesenchymal-like cells, sharing a set of core-markers expressed by "mesenchymal stem cells". Several reports enlightened the differentiation capabilities of these cells, even if at times the lack of an extensive characterization of surface markers and immune co-stimulators expression revealed h…
Immunohistochemical and transcriptional expression of matrix metalloproteinases in full-term human umbilical cord and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelia…
2010
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are extracellular zinc-dependent endopeptidases involved in the degradation and remodelling of extracellular matrix in physiological and pathological processes. MMPs also have a role on cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, angiogenesis and apoptosis. Umbilical cord is a special organ subjected to many changes during pre-natal life and whose cells can maintain a certain degree of plasticity also in post-natal period; for example recently they have been used as a source of stem cells. In this work we investigated the expression of MMPs in human umbilical cord and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) though immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and …
Energy Metabolism Analysis of Three Different Mesenchymal Stem Cell Populations of Umbilical Cord Under Normal and Pathologic Conditions
2020
AbstractHuman umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) are a pivotal source of therapeutically active cells for regenerative medicine due to their multipotent differentiation potential, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory proprieties, as well as logistical collection advantages without ethical concerns. However, it remains poorly understood whether MSCs from different compartments of the human umbilical cord are therapeutically superior than others. In this study, MSCs were isolated from Wharton’s jelly (WJ-MSCs), perivascular region (PV-MSCs) and cord lining (CL-MSCs) of hUC. These cells expressed the mesenchymal markers (CD90, CD73), stemness marker (OCT4), endothelial cell adh…
