BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), resulting from uterine trauma, is one of the major causes of female infertility. Previous studies have demonstrated that endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC) have therapeutic effects on IUA through cellular secretions. It is particularly true for most of the pre-clinical experiments performed on multiple animal models, as human-derived eMSC cannot maintain long-term engraftment in animals. Whether tissue-specific MSCs from allogeneic origin can engraft and exert long-term therapeutic efficacy has yet to be thoroughly explored.
METHODS: We established a rat IUA model to study the long-term engraftment and therapeutic effects of eMSC derived from humans and rats. Human and rat eMSC were isolated and verified by the expression of cell surface markers and the ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. The cells were then labeled by green fluorescence proteins (GFP) and transplanted to the rat uterus ex vivo and in vivo. The engraftment was investigated by the expression of GFP at different days after transplantation. Assessed the therapeutic effects by examining the endometrial thickness, the number of glands, and the pregnancy outcome. Significantly, we conducted a thorough assessment of the local cellular immune response following both xenograft and allograft transplantation.
RESULTS: H-eMSC were eliminated by rats' immune systems within three days after transplantation. In constrast, R-eMSC successfully engrafted and persisted in rat tissue for over ten days. Notably, R-eMSC significantly improved the pregnancy rate by enhancing endometrial thickness and increasing the number of glands, while also reducing fibrosis in rat IUA models. Additionally, the immune response to R-eMSC was generally less aggressive compared to that of xenogeneic MSCs.
CONCLUSIONS: Tissue-specific MSCs from the allogeneic origin can integrate into the repaired tissue and exert long-term therapeutic efficacy in the model of IUA. This study indicates that in addition to secreting therapeutic factors short-time, tissue-specific MSCs may engraft and participate in long-time tissue repair and regeneration.
