Abstract:

Introduction: Recognition of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) is of importance for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Any HLA-mismatches between the donor and recipient can cause graft rejection or other complications. In HLA-typing experiments, usage of HLA-known reference cells accompany with HLA-unknown samples is obligatory. Some international centers represent these cells with high expenses. On the other hand, transferring of these cells is problematic and in some instances is not practical.  In this study, we introduced umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as reference cells for HLA genotyping. These cells are national and can be prepared locally. Materials and methods: We isolated MSCs from three umbilical cord and after their growth and proliferation, these cells were characterized by flow cytometry technique using antibodies to CD29, CD34, CD44, CD45, CD73, CD90 and CD105. HLA-typing was then carried out by PCR-SSP kits for HLA-A, -B and -DRB allele’s identification. Results: Isolated MSCs were positive for MSCs markers; CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD105 and negative for hematopoietic stem cell markers; CD34 and CD45. HLA alleles were determined. One of the samples was homologous for HLA alleles and the others were heterologous. Conclusion: We can develop a reference panel for HLA-typing by obtaining MSCs from available sources like umbilical cord.

Mesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord tissue as potential therapeutics for cardiomyodegenerative diseases – a review

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. End stage disease often requires heart transplantation, which is hampered by donor organ shortage. Tissue engineering represents a promising alternative approach for cardiac repair. For the generation of artificial heart muscle tissue several cell types, scaffold materials and bioreactor designs are under investigation. In this revi...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells as an Alternative for Schwann Cells in Rat Spinal Cord Injury

Background: Spinal cord has a limited capacity to repair therefore, medical interventions are necessary for treatment of injuries. Transplantation of Schwann cells has shown a great promising result for spinal cord injury (SCI). However, harvesting Schwann cell has been limited due to donor morbidity and limited expansion capacity. Furthermore, accessible sources such as bone marrow stem cells ...

The Advanced HLA Typing Strategies for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

The occurrence of graft rejection and/or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is largely depended on whether the re‐ cipient and the donor have matched HLA types. Under normal circumstances, the individu‐ al with completely matched HLA antigens can be the donor. However, due to the high level of HLA polymorphism, the major obstacl...

P 141: Mesenchymal Stem Cells as Treatment in Neuroinflammatory Disease

Mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from deferent tissues like adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, skin, bone marrow, etc. These cells have regulatory effects on all types of immune cells such as dendritic cell, natural killers and lymphocytes. Mesenchymal stem cells induce inhibitory phenotypes of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) following their activity. They also change T cells pheno...
