Angioprotective and Follicle-Stimulating Effects of Administration of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Chronic Inflammation of Internal Reproductive Organs

摘要

Induced inflammation of reproductive organs in female Wistar rats was associated with an increase in the diameters of arteries and veins and number of blood vessels in the ovary medulla in combination with an increase in the number of lymphatic vessels; these changes were accompanied by reduction of the ovarian reserve and number of yellow bodies. Intravenous and submucosal injection of bone marrow multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MMSC) led to further increase in the diameters of arteries and veins and number of primordial and primary follicles. The injection of conditioned medium of BM-MMSC cultures generally produced the same effects, which could demonstrate the secretory mechanisms of their influence on local angiogenesis and folliculogenesis.
