Many studies have reported that human endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (HuMenSCs) are capable of repairing damaged tissues. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of HuMenSCs transplantation as a treatment modality in premature ovarian failure (POF) associated with chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage. HuMenSCs were isolated from menstrual blood samples of five women. After the in vitro culture of HuMenSCs, purity of the cells was assessed by cytometry using CD44, CD90, CD34, and CD45 FITC conjugate antibody. Twenty-four female Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: negative control, positive control, sham, and treatment groups. The rat models of POF used in our study were established by injecting busulfan intraperitoneally into the rats during the first estrus cycle. HuMenSCs were transplanted by injection via the tail vein into the POF-induced rats. Four weeks after POF induction, ovaries were collected and the levels of Amh, Fst, and Fshr expression in the granulosa cell (GC) layer, as well as plasma estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) levels were evaluated. Moreover, migration and localization of DiI-labeled HuMenSCs were detected, and the labeled cells were found to be localized in GCs layer of immature follicles. In addition to DiI-labelled HuMenSCs tracking, increased levels of expression of Amh and Fshr and Fst, and the high plasma levels of E2 and P4 confirmed that HuMenSC transplantation had a significant effect on follicle formation and ovulation in the treatment group compared with the negative control (POF) group.
许多研究报告称,人子宫内膜间充质干细胞(HuMenSCs)能够修复受损组织。本研究的目的是探讨HuMenSCs移植作为一种治疗方式对化疗诱导的卵巢损伤所致的卵巢早衰(POF)的影响。从5名女性的月经血样本中分离出HuMenSCs。对HuMenSCs进行体外培养后,使用CD44、CD90、CD34和CD45异硫氰酸荧光素结合抗体通过细胞计数法评估细胞纯度。将24只雌性Wistar大鼠随机分为四组:阴性对照组、阳性对照组、假手术组和治疗组。本研究中使用的POF大鼠模型是通过在第一个发情周期向大鼠腹腔注射白消安建立的。通过尾静脉注射将HuMenSCs移植到诱导POF的大鼠体内。在诱导POF四周后,收集卵巢并评估颗粒细胞(GC)层中Amh、Fst和Fshr的表达水平,以及血浆雌二醇(E2)和孕酮(P4)水平。此外,检测了DiI标记的HuMenSCs的迁移和定位,发现标记细胞定位于未成熟卵泡的GC层。除了DiI标记的HuMenSCs追踪外,与阴性对照(POF)组相比,治疗组中Amh、Fshr和Fst表达水平的升高以及血浆E2和P4的高水平证实了HuMenSC移植对卵泡形成和排卵有显著影响。
