Introduction
The results of experimental and clinical studies in recent years indicate that the transplantation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) is a possible approach for ...the “restoration” of the immune system of patients with autoimmune diseases, in particular, rheumatoid arthritis. However, the strength and duration of the effect vary greatly, which indicates incomplete correction of the tested parameters, thereby opening up the prospect of improving this method of treatment by choosing dose-time parameters and methods of their administration. The aim of this research was to determine the indices of cellular immunity in animals with adjuvant arthritis and therapy with cryopreserved MMSCs derived from adipose and cartilage tissues.
Material and methods
Adjuvant arthritis in male rats was modeled by subplantar administration of Freund’s complete adjuvant. On day 7 of modeling, experimental animals were administered with saline (control group) or cryopreserved MMSCs from adipose or cartilaginous tissue locally or generalized. On day 28 after therapy the body weight, spleen index and cellularity, and content of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD25+ cells in the spleen were determined.
Results
In the control group of animals, the inflammation was pronounced, as evidenced by a significant increase in the studied parameters throughout the observation period. The use of cryopreserved MMSCs from adipose and cartilaginous tissues led to the restoration of T regulatory cells (Treg) on day 28. Generalized administration of cells had a more pronounced therapeutic effect compared to the animals with local administration. These data can be used to justify and develop a therapeutic approach to rheumatoid arthritis in clinical practice.
Conclusions
Cell therapy with cryopreserved MMSCs from investigated sources provided by both local and generalized administration to animals with adjuvant arthritis has a correcting effect on the cellular immunity.
The review surveys the published data on a strong negative impact of psycho-emotional stress, which accompanies both the military servicemen and civilians of any state in martial law period. Such a ...load can lead to severe disorders of the systems that ensure the human body homeostatic stability, in particular to post-traumatic stress disorder. In this case human body is subjected to a state accompanied by the development of severe oncology and autoimmune diseases, as well as dysfunction of the male reproductive system. The study offers modern approaches to the treatment of the listed pathologies, most of which are based on the international experience of clinical and experimental research as well as achievements of national academic science. Special attention is paid to the development of cryobiological and cryomedical cell-tissue techniques, the use of those can be promising in the strengthening of both mental and physical health of civilian population during the wartime.
