intravenous transplantation of very small embryonic like stem cells in treatment of diabetes mellitus

چکیده

background: diabetes mellitus (dm), simply known as diabetes, refers to a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. in this study, the feasibility and safety of intravenous transplantation of very small embryonic like stem cells (vsels) were investigated for diabetes repair, and finally the migration and distribution of these cells in hosts were observed. methods: mouse bone marrow vsels were isolated by fluorescent activating cell sorting (facs) method by using fluorescent antibodies against cd45, cxcr4 and sca1 markers. sorted cells were analyzed for expression of oct4 and ssea1 markers with immunocytochemistry staining method. to determine multilineage differentiation, sorted cells were differentiated to schwann, osteocyte and beta cells. ten days after the establishment of a mouse model of pancreas necrosis, dii-labeled vsels were injected into these mice via tail vein. pancreases were harvested 4 weeks after transplantation and the sections of these tissues were observed under fluorescent microscope. results: it was proved that cd45-, cxcr4+, and sca1+ sorted cells express oct4 and ssea1. our results revealed that intravenously implanted vsels could migrate into the pancreas of hosts and survive in the diabetic pancreas. in treated groups, blood glucose decreased significantly for at least two month and the weights of mice increased gradually.   conclusion: this study provides a strategy for using vsels for curing diabetes and other regenerative diseases, and the strategy is considered an alternative for other stem cell types.

Circulating Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells in Cardiovascular Disease

Very small embryonic-like cells (VSELs) are a population of stem cells residing in the bone marrow (BM) and several organs, which undergo mobilization into peripheral blood (PB) following acute myocardial infarction and stroke. These cells express markers of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), such as Oct-4, Nanog, and SSEA-1, as well as early cardiac, endothelial, and neural tissue developmental ma...

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells: Implications in Reproductive Biology

The most primitive germ cells in adult mammalian testis are the spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) whereas primordial follicles (PFs) are considered the fundamental functional unit in ovary. However, this central dogma has recently been modified with the identification of a novel population of very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) in the adult mammalian gonads. These stem cells are more pr...

“Small Stem Cells” in Adult Tissues: Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSELs) Stand Up!

This review summarizes information regarding the rare population of very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) that has been identified in adult tissues, emphasizing both their unique morphological features and potential biological significance. We focus on their pluripotent nature and expression of markers characteristic for embryonic stem cells (ESCs), epiblast (EP)SCs, and primordial germ ...

Comparing the Expression Levels of Alkaline Phosphatase, Gfra1, Lin28, and Sall4 Genes in Embryonic Stem Cells, Spermatogonial Stem Cells, and Embryonic Stem-Like Cells in Mice

Background and purpose: Spermatogenesis is a well-organized process that is influenced by a variety of factors. Alkaline phosphatase, and Gfra1, Lin28, and Sall4 genes are among the key players in this interconnected process. This study aimed to investigate the expression levels of Gfra1, Lin28, and Sall4 genes in embryonic, spermatogonial, and embryonic stem-like (ES-like) cells in mice. Mate...

Stem cells for neural regeneration--a potential application of very small embryonic-like stem cells.

The goal of regenerative medicine is to ameliorate irreversible destruction of brain tissue by harnessing the power of stem cells in the process of neurogenesis. Several types of stem cells, including mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, as well as neural cells differentiated from embryonic stem cell lines, have been proposed as potential therapeutic vehicles. In this review paper ...
