Protective effects on melphalan-induced mouse intestinal injury treated by Human Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT) is one front-line therapy with high-dose melphalan for multiple myeloma (MM). Patients with MM who receive conditioning regimen with melphalan usually suffer from severe gastrointestinal symptoms, as one of nonhematological toxicities. Aim: It is an urgent demand to develop an effective methods to repair the intestinal injuries in patients with MM receiving conditioning regimen with high-dose melphalan for autoHSCT. Therefore, the protective effects of Human umbilical cord derived-mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) is investigated after infusion into mouse model with melphalan-induce gastrointestinal injuries. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for Control small intestine cells and its treatments (melphalan, melphalan+MSC, and MSC+melphalan).
