The Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Fertility in Experimental Retrocervical Endometriosis
Abstract: Purpose To evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on fertility in experimental retrocervical endometriosis. Methods A total of 27 New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups: endometriosis, in which endometrial implants were created; mesenchymal, in which MSCs were applied in addition to the creation of endometrial implants; and control, the group without endometriosis. Fisher's exact test was performed to compare the dichotomous qualitative variables among the groups. The quantitative var…

“…Adiposederived MSCs (AD-MSCs) are readily accessible and secrete abundant angiogenic factors. For reproductive disorders, amniotic membrane-derived MSCs (A-MSCs) and menstrual bloodderived MSCs (MenSCs) are particularly attractive due to their ethical acceptability, non-invasive collection (MenSCs), and inherent tissue relevance [4,11,[24][25][26][27].…”

“…Non-primate animal models of induced endometriosis have been crucial in the study of endometriosis. Some of the animals in this group include rabbits [ 182 , 183 , 184 ], rats [ 185 , 186 , 187 ] and mice [ 188 , 189 ]. These models are used to study the mechanisms involved in endometriosis that are not possible to examine in larger mammals.…”

“…Although BMDCs decreased in situ TNF-α and VEGFR levels, they did not affect lesion size [264]. In another study, bone marrow-derived MSCs were injected locally into an endometriotic implant in a rabbit endometriosis model [265]. The MSC group had significantly more intra-abdominal adhesions and a lower pregnancy rate than did the control group, and no reduction in implant size with MSC treatment was noted [265].…”

The MSC group had significantly more intra-abdominal adhesions and a lower pregnancy rate than did the control group, and no reduction in implant size with MSC treatment was noted [265]. When human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were used to treat cultured endometriotic cells, the cytokine expression of IL-1β and proliferation rate of endometriotic cells increased in vitro [266].…”
