Possibility of Aggravation of Tissue Sclerosis after Injection of Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Near the Forming Cicatrix in the Experiment

Abstract

The peculiarities of tissue sclerosis after injection of autologous bone marrow multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells transfected with GFP gene and stained with Vybrant CM-Dil cell membrane dye were studied by light microscopy with luminescence. The surgical intervention consisting in ligation of the great vein was followed by tissue sclerotic transformation caused by direct damage and chronic inflammation caused by the presence of slowly resorbed ligature. Injection of stromal cells after this intervention led to formation of more extensive scar. This can attest to the possibility of stromal cells differentiation into connective tissue cells, fibroblasts, and stimulation of proliferation and collagen synthesis by host fibroblasts. A decrease in the volume of dense fibrous connective tissue due to scar reorganization at latter terms cannot not excluded.
