Abstract:
:The aim of the present study was to track in vivo the distribution and survival of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) transplanted into female BALB/c nude mice following simulated childbirth injury, using green fluorescent protein and luciferase dual labeling, bioluminescent imaging (BLI) and histological evaluation. The results demonstrated that the dually labeled ASCs could be detected for up to eight weeks in vivo. The number of implanted cells decreased during the first three weeks, and then stabilized until the end of the experiment. According to the linear regression plot, ~27,621 implanted cells survived until eight weeks after implantation. Transplanted ASCs predominantly existed at the inoculation site of the vagina, with little or no spread to other organs. Histological analysis confirmed the survival of the engrafted ASCs. The study provided basic evidence that BLI techniques can be used to monitor ASCs in vivo in real time and in the long term. Through local administration, ASCs could survive in the long term to facilitate repair following pelvic-floor injury.
