Mesenchymal stem cells and uses therefor
View Patent ↗Compositions and methods of promoting wound healing in a human by administering to the human mesenchymal stem cells in an effective amount.
1. A method of limiting inflammation in the gut in a patient suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, the method comprising the step of intravenously or intraarterially administering to the patient a suspension of isolated, cultured, genetically unmanipulated mesenchymal stem cells in an amount effective to limit inflammation in the gut.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the suspension further comprises an acceptable pharmaceutical carrier.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the suspension is administered in an amount of from about 1×10 5 cells/kg to about 1×10 7 cells/kg.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the suspension is administered in an amount of from about 1×10 6 cells/kg to about 5×10 6 cells/kg.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cultured, genetically unmanipulated mesenchymal stem cells are isolated from marrow.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the marrow is iliac crest marrow.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration is intravenous.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the administration is intravenous.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the administration is intravenous.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration is intraarterial.
11. The method of claim 5 , wherein the administration is intraarterial.
12. The method of claim 6 , wherein the administration is intraarterial.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mesenchymal stem cells increase secretion of interleukin-10.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mesenchymal stem cells increase generation of regulatory T cells.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient is human and the mesenchymal stem cells are human.
16. The method of claim 7 , wherein the patient is human and the mesenchymal stem cells are human.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the patient is human and the mesenchymal stem cells are human.
