Amelioration of Ischemic Brain Injury in Rats with Human Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells: Mechanisms of Action

Abstract: Despite the high prevalence and devastating outcome, there remain a few options for treatment of ischemic stroke. Currently available treatments are limited by a short time window for treatment and marginal efficacy when used. We have tested a human umbilical cord blood-derived stem cell line that has been shown to result in a significant reduction in stroke infarct volume as well as improved functional recovery following stroke in the rat. In the present study we address the mechanism of action and compared t… Show more

“…These bone marrow mononuclear cells have similar characteristics to umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells and both cell populations have proven efficacious in proof of concept studies treating TBI (15,17). Similar work, with parallel results, have been done in stroke with both cell types (18)(19)(20). ESC-derived NSC or oligodendrocyte stem cell/OPC.…”

“…Several different routes have been trialed in preclinical studies using stem cell transplantation for brain injury. These include intraventricular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, intrathecal, intranasal, and intraparenchymal injections into the cerebral cortex (82)(83)(84)(85)(86)(87)(88)(89). One study examined the difference between intravenous and intraparenchymal transplantation of UCB MSCs in treating cerebral hypoxic injury.…”
