Paracrine stimulation effect of human salispheres on mouse salivary gland

ABSTRACT: Human salispheres, a culture of stem/progenitor cells, represent a potential therapy for radiation induced hyposalivation. Radiation-induced hyposalivation dramatically reduces quality of life of patients. We have demonstrated the potential of human salispheres to engraft and differentiate when transplanted into a mouse model of hyposalivation, in the manuscript associated with these data. We also demonstrate the functional recovery of irradiated salivary glands (SGs) following human salisphere transplantation, by the measurement of saliva production. When analyzing human salisphere- transplanted SGs for the presence of human cells, we noted that the highest proportion of human cells were present 1 week after transplantation. This microarray study was designed to determine if paracrine
