TLDR
Locally injected eASCs appear to be a simple, safe, and beneficial therapy for perianal fistula in Crohn’s disease patients, and additional studies are needed to further confirm the efficacy of the eASC.
Abstract
Purpose The management of perianal fistula in patients with Crohn’s disease is an extremely challenging medical problem as many fistulas do not respond to available treatments The objectives were to assess the safety and efficacy of a suspension of expanded adipose-derived allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (eASCs) for the treatment of complex perianal fistula in Crohn’s disease

Adipose mesenchymal stromal cell function is not affected by methotrexate and azathioprine.

TL;DR: The drugs did not affect the viability and proliferative capacity of ASCs and when the drugs and the ASCs were concomitantly used to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation, no synergistic or antagonizing inhibitor was found.

Efficacy and Safety of Treatment of Complex Idiopathic Fistula-in-Ano Using Autologous Centrifuged Adipose Tissue Containing Progenitor Cells: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of the use of autologous centrifuged adipose tissue in the healing process of cryptoglandular complex anal fistulas.

Adipose Tissue: From Energy Reservoir to a Source of Cells for Epithelial Tissue Engineering

TL;DR: The authors discuss the microenvironment where are the stem cells is the niche, adipose tissue-derived stromal cell transplant for the treatment of epithelial pathologies, wound healing, diabetic foot, and other disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transplantation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in refractory crohn's disease: systematic review.

TL;DR: Although the use of mesenchymal stem cells is promising, the transplant on the luminal region should be more investigated, as the preparation of the fistulizing tract and the location of cell transplantation involve standardized health care in most studies.

Therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs)-based cell therapy for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) therapy

TL;DR: Recently, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) therapy has become an emerging therapeutic modality for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), given their immunoregulatory and pro-survival attributes as mentioned in this paper .

Human bone marrow stromal cells suppress T-lymphocyte proliferation induced by cellular or nonspecific mitogenic stimuli

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that autologous or allogeneic BMSCs strongly suppress T-lymphocyte proliferation, this phenomenon that is triggered by both cellular as well as nonspecific mitogenic stimuli has no immunologic restriction, and T-cell inhibition is not due to induction of apoptosis and is likely due to the production of soluble factors.

Human mesenchymal stem cells modulate B-cell functions

TL;DR: The results further support the potential therapeutic use of hMSCs in immune-mediated disorders, including those in which B cells play a major role.

HLA expression and immunologic properties of differentiated and undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells.

TL;DR: Undifferentiated and differentiated MSC do not elicit alloreactive lymphocyte proliferative responses and modulate immune responses, and the findings support that MSC can be transplantable between HLA-incompatible individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells inhibit the response of naive and memory antigen-specific T cells to their cognate peptide.

TL;DR: It is suggested that MSCs physically hinder T cells from the contact with APCs in a noncognate fashion and inhibit naive and memory T-cell responses to their cognate antigens.
