Abstract (original English)

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to regulate the systemic inflammatory response and sepsis-induced immunologic injury pre-clinically. However, whether MSCs from different sources elicit identical effects remains to be elucidated. The present study compared the effect of bone marrow‑derived MSCs (BMSCs) and adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADMSCs) in a murine model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced sepsis. SPF BALB/c mice were induced with an injection of LPS (10 mg/kg; 1 mg/ml) via the tail vein. To compare the effect of MSCs on the septic mice, either saline, BMSCs or ADMSCs were injected via the tail vein 5 min following the administration of LPS. The survival rates and body temperatures of the mice were observed regularly up to 48 h. The serum levels of pro‑inflammatory cytokines, including tumour necrosis factor‑α, interleukin (IL)‑6 and IL‑8, anti‑inflammatory cytokines, including IL‑2, IL‑4 and IL‑10, and biochemical markers, including lactate, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase and aspertate aminotransferase, were analyzed at 6 h. The BMSCs and ADMSCs significantly reduced mortality rates, body‑temperature fluctuations, serum levels of biochemical markers and the majority of cytokines. However, the levels of IL‑8 in the BMSC and ADMSC groups were increased and decreased, respectively. These findings suggested that BMSCs and ADMSCs ameliorated sepsis-assoc
