Abstract
- Radiation-induced skin ulceration is a frequent complication of radiation therapy. This study investigated the effects of rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) on the healing of radiation-induced soft tissue injury. Sprague-Dawley rats (n=17) were irradiated on the right and left buttocks with a single dose of 50 Gy. The right buttocks were administered with phosphate-buffered solution as a control. The left buttocks were administered with either rMSCs (2×10ⶠcells), PDGF (8 µg), or PDGF combined with rMSCs. Administration was done at three weeks after irradiation. Wound healing was analyzed by calculating the percentage of residual ulcerated skin area compared to the total irradiated area during the five week healing period after administration. Modified skin scores were also assessed. Finally, skin lesions were histologically evaluated. More than 40% of the irradiated skin area within the irradiated zone underwent ulceration within 16 days postirradiation, with peak ulceration exceeding 50% around three weeks post-irradiation. Administration of rMSCs or PDGF alone did not confer any significant healing effect. The combined rMSCs+PDGF treatment significantly reduced the wound size compared with the nontreated control up to two weeks postinjection. Regarding the histological examination, lesions administered with PDGF (either alone or mixed with rMSCs) resulted in a greater deposition of highly organized collagen fibers throughout the dermis layer, compared with the control. In conclusion, the combined administration of rMSCs and PDGF efficiently enhanced the healing of radiation-induced skin ulceration.
