Outline of Final Research Achievements

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, and there is currently no cure for IBD. In the present study, we examined the anti-inflammatory action of murine Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC) and Adipose-derived stem cell (AdSC) in mice model of IBD, and examined the enhancing effect of the anti-inflammatory action when attached nanoparticle statins to AdSC. On examining EPC aggregation in tissue, there was no aggregation observed for transvenous and intraperitoneal transplantation. However aggregation was observed for transarterial transplantation of AdSC.
On examining the colitis inhibitory effect via the transarterial pathway, we observed a little inhibition of Disease activity index (DAI), Histological damage score (HDS) and cytokine levels in the AdSC group compared with PBS group. However, DAI, HDS and cytokine levels were significantly lower in the Sim-AdSC group than in the PBS group.
