PROMOTEUR DE RÉGÉNÉRATION TISSULAIRE UTILISANT LE RECRUTEMENT DE CELLULES SOUCHES MÉSENCHYMATEUSES DE MOELLE OSSEUSE OU DE CELLULES SOUCHES PLURIPOTENTES DANS LE SANG
It was revealed that the intravenous administration of HMGB-1 and S100A8 promoted the healing of skin ulcer by recruiting bone marrow-derived cells to the site of skin ulcer. Furthermore, when HMGB-1 was intravenously administered to cerebral infarction model mice after creation of cerebral infarction, bone marrow-derived cells expressing nerve cell markers were detected in their brain. A marked cerebral infarct-reducing effect was observed in mice intravenously administered with HMGB-1 as compared to the control. The post-cerebral infarction survival rate was increased in the intravenous HMGB-1 administration group. The involvement of bone marrow pluripotent stem cells in the process of bone fracture healing was assessed using mice, and the result demonstrated that bone marrow-derived cells distant from the damaged site migrated to the bone fracture site to repair the damaged tissue.
