Description

Objective: To evaluate the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from mouse bone and embryo dorsal aorta (DA) area in the treatment of irradiation induced lung injury of mouse model. Methods: The mice were divided into four groups as normal control group, irradiation group,bone MSCs treatment group and DA MSCs treatment group. Immunohistochemical Analysis of lung tissue was observed after 9 months of treatment. Results: Fibrosis and alveolar infiltration were scored in each group. The score for fibrosis and alveolar is 0. 17 in normal control group, 2 in irradiation group, 1 in bone MSCs treat group and 1.38 in DA MSCs treat group. Conclusion: The extent of irradiation Induced Lung Injury could be reduced thorough the treatment of MSCs derived from mouse bone and embryos dorsal aorta ( DA ) area. (authors)
