Healthspan-Extending Activity of Human Amniotic Membrane- and Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells in F344 Rats. Stem Cells Translational Medicine
요약 :
Ageing brings about the progressive decline in cognitive function and physical activity, along with losses of stem cell population and function. Although transplantation of muscle derived stem/progenitor cells extended healthspan and lifespan of progeria mice, such effects in normal animals were not confirmed. Human amniotic membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMMSCs) or adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) (1 × 106 55 cells/rat) were intravenously transplanted to 10-month-old male F344 rats once a month for their life-long periods. Transplantation of AMMSCs and ADMSCs improved cognitive and physical functions of naturally-ageing rats, extending lifespan by 23.4% and 31.3%, respectively. The stem cell therapy increased the concentration of acetylcholine, and recovered neurotrophic factors in the brain and muscles, leading to restoration of microtubule-associated protein 2, cholinergic and dopaminergic nervous systems, microvessels, muscle mass as well as antioxidative capacity. The results indicate that repeated transplantation of AMMSCs and ADMSCs elongate both healthspan and lifespan, which could be a starting point for anti-ageing or rejuvenation effects of allogeneic or autologous stem cells with minimum immune rejection.
