Abstract (original English)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive parenchymal lung disease that results in fibrogenesis and the conditioned medium from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CM-ADSCs) has been shown to be efficacious in pulmonary fibrosis animal models. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of CM-ADSCs on lung inflammation and fibrosis in a Bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis model. CM-ADSCs safety and toxicity were evaluated in Sprague Dawley rats and no adverse effects were observed. Six-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were employed in the BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis model and were divided into four groups: Group 1 (Sham): animals were kept without BLM and treatment, Group 2 (Control): BLM with vehicle DMEM, Group 3: 10 μg/kg CM-ADSCs and Group 4: 100 μg/kg CM-ADSCs. Body weight, fibrosis and inflammation histological analyses, mRNA and protein pro-inflammatory cytokine, and total hydroxyproline content calculation were performed in all groups upon sacrifice. The 100 μg/kg CM-ADSCs showed a significant increase in mean body weight compared to Controls. CM-ADSCs doses resulted in the amelioration of fibrosis, as seen by Masson's Trichrome-staining, Ashcroft scoring, and Sirius red-staining. Compared to Controls, inflammation was also significantly reduced in CM-ADSCs-treated mice, with reduced F4/80 macrophage antigen staining, TNF-α mRNA and I
