Background: Systemic and local inflammatory processes have a key, mainly detrimental role in the pathophysiology of acute lung injury (ALI). The present study was designed to determine whether human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSC) are able to act on CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells and lead to an improvement in ALI. Methods: Mice were administered intratracheally endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) and received intrapulmonary 1×106 UCMSC 4 hours after challenge. The CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+Treg, survival time, body weight, histology and lung injury scores were assessed after transplantation of UCMSC. In addition…
