title: Differentiation of mesenchymal multipotent stromal cells of the lungs in pneumofibrosis.
abstract: We studied differentiation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSC) of the lungs of C57Bl/6 mice with bleomycin-induced pneumofibrosis. Adherent mononuclear cells found in mouse lungs demonstrated mesenchymal phenotype and expressed CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD106, but not CD31, CD34, and CD45. The cells with MMSC characteristics differentiate in vitro into various cells of stromal lines (chondrocytes, osteogenic cells, adipocytes, and fibroblasts). Bleomycin increased the growth rate of MMSC and selectively promoted their differentiation towards fibroblast cells.
