Cross-talk between Bone Marrow and Tissue Injury : Novel Regenerative Therapy for Severely Damaged Tissues by Mobilizing Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Vivo
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: group box 1 （HMGB1）, which mobilizes a sub-population of non-hematopoietic cells from bone marrow into the circulation to repair skin and restore Col 7 expression. These bone marrow-derived epithelial stem/progenitor cells are derived from a lineage-negative, platelet-derived growth factor alpha-positive mesenchymal stem cell pool in bone marrow, which represents less than 0.3% of the total bone marrow cell population. In addition, systemic administration of HMGB1 to wounded wild-type mice leads to faster wound healing with recruitment of these bone marrow cells to the wounded skin. This study identifies a suitable cell population for cell therapy approaches in individuals with RDEB, but also has broader implications for clinical medicine in identifying a means of mobilizing and recruiting a key population of bone marrow cells germane to tissue repair.
