Wharton's jelly derived mesenchymal stem cell (WJ-MSC) possesses therapeutic properties. WJ-MSC was nontumorigenic, acquired high rate of proliferation and their immune privileged status make them ideal for both autologous and allogeneic use in regenerative medicine applications. This study examined the possible therapeutic potentials of camel WJ-MSC in regeneration of damaged pancreatic diabetic tissues in rats. Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats showed pancreatic tissues degeneration in parallel with suppressed expressions of the insulin, smad-2, PDX-1 and SIRT-1. The infusion of WJ-MSC markedly alleviated the altered induced diabetes by significant increase in quantitative genes expression and significantly enhanced histopathological cellular integrity of islets of Langerhans and pancreatic acini compared to STZ group. The infusion of WJ-MSC enhanced the liver and kidneys functions supported by decrease of ALT, AST and urea levels than diabetic group. These findings shows for the first time the novel valuable therapeutic role of camel WJ-MSC on pancreatic tissue regeneration with function retrieval and reduced the side effects of STZ on the liver and kidneys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
