Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells protect against experimental colitis via CD5+ B regulatory cells
11 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To clarify the effect of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSCs) treatment on colitis and to explore the role of CD5(+) B cells in MSC therapy. METHODS: The trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis mouse model was used. HUC-MSCs were transferred peritoneally. Survival rates, colitis symptoms, and macroscopic and histologic scores were evaluated. CD4(+) T helper (Th)...
