ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To find out the effect of transplanted umbilical cord blood derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB- MSCs) in the rat model of bilateral cavernosal nerve injury (BCNX) MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups Group I (7 rats, Control, Sham operation) had only bilateral cavernosal nerve crushing injury. PKH-26 fluorescent cell linker was labeled to hUCB- MSCs Group II (7 rats) had transplantation of hUCB- MSCs (3x10(5)cells/50microliter PBS) into MPG after BCNX. Group III (7 rats) had transplantation of hUCB- MSCs (3x10(5)cells/50microliter PBS) into the CC after BCNX. We detected the PKH-26 labeled MSCs in Group II, and III at four weeks after transplantation. Peak intracavernosal pressure (ICP) and ICP/mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded after pelvic nerve stimulation at 12 weeks after transplantation.RESULTS:
PKH-26 labeled hUCB-MSCs were detected in MPG and CC of group II and III at four weeks after transplantation. The peak ICP was significantly higher in the Group II (69.6+/-5.9mmHg) and Group III (59.7+/-7.6mmHg) compared to Group I40.6+/-10.5mmHg) at 12 weeks after transplantation. The rates of ICP/MAP were significantly higher in Group II (32.2+/-6.4%) and Group III (57.8+/-4.9%) compared to Group I (49.5+/-2.9%) at 12 weeks after transplantation.CONCLUSIONS:
The intracavernosal and major pelvic ganglion transplantation of hUCB- MSCs improve erectile function in a rat model of neurogenic impotence.
