Intrauterine transplantation of human fetal mesenchymal stem cells from first-trimester blood repairs bone and reduces fractures in osteogenesis imperfecta mice.
- Abstract:
-
The inherited skeletal dysplasia osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) results in multiple fractures and is currently treated empirically. We transplanted human first-trimester fetal blood mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into homozygous oim mice in utero. This resulted in a two-thirds reduction in long bone fractures (P < .01), with fewer fractures per mouse (median 1, range 0-2 in mice that received transplants vs median 3, range 1-5 in mice that did not receive transplants by 12 weeks, P < .01)....
