Gene expression patterns of mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow and Wharton's jelly of umbilical cord

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising tools for the treatment of diseases such as infarcted myocardia and strokes because of their ability to promote endogenous angiogenesis and neurogenesis via a variety of secreted factors. MSCs found in the Wharton's jelly of the human umbilical cord are easily obtained and are capable of transplantation without rejection. We isolated MSCs from WhartonM-bM-^@M-^Ys jelly and bone marrow (WJ-MSCs and BM-MSCs, respectively) and compared their transcriptional profiles. In this study, BM-MSCs and WJ-MSCs were isolated from 4 and 3 independent donors, respectively.
