The hepatocyte growth factor-expressing character is required for mesenchymal stem cells to protect the lung injured by lipopolysaccharide in vivo
29 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition in critically ill patients. Recently, we have found that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) improved the permeability of human lung microvascular endothelial cells by secreting hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in vitro. However, the properties and functions of MSC may change under complex circumstances in vivo. Here, we sought to...
