PG - 655-667 LID - S1465-3249(17)30430-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jcyt.2017.03.006 [doi] AB - Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are primitive, supportive cells of the bone marrow with tri-lineage potential to differentiate into bone, cartilage, fat and muscle. These cells possess both in vitro and in vivo immunomodulatory and wound-healing properties. Several studies have demonstrated efficacy of intravenously administered BMSCs in treating acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Use of intravenous (IV) BMSCs in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in humans has been limited to small studies in adults, but results have been promising. There remain many unanswered questions regarding safety, tolerability, effectiveness and optimal use of BMSCs to treat IBD, particularly in immunocompromised patients. This article reviews the evidence for using BMSCs to treat acute GvHD and how this experience may inform the potential use of BMSCs as a treatment for IBD.
