Abstract (original English)

Acute lung injury results in acute respiratory distress syndrome. There is no standard therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome but supportive care. Stem cells offer a new therapeutic potential for tissue regeneration as a result of their self-renewal, multipotency, and paracrine capabilities. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects and the mechanisms of systemic human orbital fat-derived stem/stromal cell transplantation on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury. Prospective, randomized, controlled study. University-affiliated research institute. Male BALB/c mice. Twenty-five micrograms lipopolysaccharide in 50 μL sterile saline or 50 μL of sterile saline was delivered through intratracheal injection. Twenty mins later, the animals were further randomized into subgroups that received either a tail vein injection of 3 × 10 orbital fat-derived stem/stromal cells in 50 μL phosphate-buffered saline or 50 μL phosphate-buffered saline. Low immunogenicity and immune-tolerated of orbital fat-derived stem/stromal cells were observed in this xenotransplanted model. Orbital fat-derived stem/stromal cells significantly reduced lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary inflammation, which was evidenced by a decrease in total protein concentration and neutrophil counts in alveolar fluid through bronchoalveolar lavage, reduced endothelial and alveolar epithelial per
