Cytokines in umbilical cord blood-derived cellular product: a mechanistic insight into bone repair.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) finds frequent applications in regenerative medicine. We evaluated the role of cytokines present in a uniquely processed, UCB-derived cellular allograft product (UCBp).

Materials & methods

Luminex multiplex assay and standard cell biology methods were employed.

Results

Study with allografts from 33 donors identified 44 quantifiable cytokines in the UCBp derived conditioned media (CM). The UCBp-CM elevated proliferation and migration rates of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and bone marrow stromal cells. Moreover, UCBp-CM induced secretion of VEGF-A and osteoprotegerin, which promoted angiogenesis of endothelial cells and positively influenced the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, respectively.

Conclusion

Cytokines in UCBp stimulat
