Comparison of Colony-forming Efficiency between Breast Milk Stem/progenitor Cells of Mothers with Preterm and Full-term Delivery
Authors
Abstract:
Background: The beneficial effect of breastfeeding for the health of mothers and infants are well recognized. Breast milk is a novel source of the stem cells forming during pregnancy and lactation. In the present study, the colony forming efficiency (CFE) of breast milk-derived stem/progenitor cells in the breast milk of mothers with preterm delivery (gestational age of fewer than 37 weeks) was compared with that of mothers with full-term delivery (gestational age of more than 37 weeks). Methods: Fresh-pumped breast milk of 30 healthy mothers with full-term delivery and 30 mothers with preterm delivery who had no underlying illness and drug intake were collected on days 5 and 15 after delivery, and then immediately assessed. For the purpose of the study, 10 ml fresh breast milk was gently mixed with equal amount of phosphate buffer saline, centrifuged at 1,380 rpm for 20 min, cultivated in 1 ml MethoCult H4435 medium (Stem Cell Technologies), and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 and 80% humidity for 14 days. Results: The CFE is significantly lower in the 25 to 35-year-old mothers on day 15 after delivery than in 35 to 45-year-old mothers (P=0.01). In both groups of mothers, the CFE was higher on day 5 than on day 15. Moreover, a significant correlation was observed between the CFE of breast milk stem/progenitor cells obtained on days 5 and 15 with the infants weighing 3,000-4,000 g (130±62, P=0.03 and 105±26, P=0.021), respectively. Furthermore, CFE increased in the breast milk of mothers aged 35 > years in comparison to that of younger mothers. Conclusion: According to our analysis, breast milk stem/progenitor cells CFE was higher in mothers with preterm delivery than in mothers with full-term delivery. These observations may uncover the compensatory mechanisms illustrated in the mothers' breast milk to improve the preterm infants' tissues development and organ formation in which various factors were involved, such as mothers' age and infants' weight.

Longitudinal Changes in the Macronutrient Contents of Breast Milk in the Mothers with Preterm Delivery
Background: Contents of breast milk may change during the first weeks after childbirth, especially in preterm deliveries. The present study aimed to determine the macronutrient contents of breast milk in the mothers with preterm delivery. Methods: This prospective-descriptive study was conducted in Mahdieh Hospital in Tehran, Iran in 2015. Participants included the mothers with preterm deliver...

BACKGROUND It is commonly assumed that preterm babies are malnourished and this has led to all forms of micronutrient supplementation including iron. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to compare the iron content in breast milk of mothers who had preterm and term babies. METHODS Ninety six (96) lactating mothers who delivered their babies at term and 68 lactating mothers who had preterm deli...

Samples of milk were taken at intervals during lactation from 35 mothers of term and 26 mothers of preterm infants and assayed for 8 B complex vitamins. Both term and preterm milks varied widely in vitamin content between mothers. Mean concentrations of thiamin, vitamin B6, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, and folic acid increased progressively over several weeks after parturition but ...

The antimicrobial properties of preterm and term breast milk cells were compared. They were similar in cell numbers and in the capacity to phagocytose and kill staphylococci. Interferon production on endotoxin challenge appeared to be higher in preterm cells. The antibacterial activity of breast milk cells was retained after storage at 4 degrees C for 24-48 hours. Cell numbers were unaffected b...
