The paper presents an evaluation of the gene expression in mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton's jelly within the umbilical cord, collected from 36 patients during labor. The study is the first one to show that the expression of in mesenchymal stem cells has been dependent on maternal age, birth order, route of delivery, and use of oxytocin. Our research proves that the gene expression in mesenchymal stem cells decreases with each subsequent pregnancy and delivery. Wharton's jelly stem cells obtained from younger women and during their first delivery, as well as patients treated with oxytocin, show higher gene expression when compared with the subsequent deliveries. This leads to a conclusion that they are characterized by a lower level of differentiation, which in turn results in their greater plasticity and greater proliferative potential. Probably, they are also clinically more useful.
本文评估了从脐带华通氏胶中分离的间充质干细胞的基因表达,这些细胞来自 36 名分娩产妇。这是首次研究表明,间充质干细胞中的表达取决于母体年龄、分娩顺序、分娩方式和催产素的使用。我们的研究证明,随着每次后续妊娠和分娩,间充质干细胞中的基因表达逐渐下降。与后续分娩相比,从年轻女性和第一次分娩中获得的华通氏胶干细胞以及接受催产素治疗的患者的基因表达更高。这表明它们分化程度较低,这反过来又导致它们具有更大的可塑性和更强的增殖潜力。可能,它们在临床上也更有用。
