| Abstract |
Although implantation of multipotent bone marrow-derived stem cells represents an attractive new cell therapy to repair damaged tissues, recent reports have raised serious concerns over the feasibility of using stem cells deriving from the bone marrow to promote cell transdifferentiation. We established transgenic (Tg) rats with reporter genes as specific molecular tags to examine the effect of bone marrow cells (BMCs) on transdifferentiation into tissues/organs. To monitor transdifferentiation events of locally transplanted BMCs into hepatocytes or capillary endothelial cells, a liver injury model and an ischemic hind-limb model were developed in rats. To test the ability of circulating bone marrow-derived cells to give rise to myocytes after skeletal muscle injury, we used a bone marrow cell transplantation model from Tg rats, which showed ubiquitous expression of beta-galactosidase (lacZ), into lethally irradiated non-Tg rats. Our results show that there was little transdifferentiation of BMCs into the targeted cells in these tissue injury models. However, in the ischemic hind-limb model, laser Doppler imaging and histologic analysis showed that both implantation of BMCs and treatment with microspheres incorporating basic fibroblast-like growth factor (bFGF), which enables the release of bFGF at the site of action over a period of time, effectively induced angiogenesis. In conclusion, rat BMCs with specific marker genes could be a useful tool for detecting transdifferentiation events in vivo.
