Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy drugs can damage the ovarian function in women of childbearing age, and even lead to premature ovarian failure. Therefore, to improve and restore the ovarian function in patients has become an important issue.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect and feasibility of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell therapy against chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage.
METHODS: Rat models of chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian failure were established, and injected with PKH26-labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. At 15, 30, 45, 60 days after cell transplantation, five rats were selected respectively to detect follicle-stimulating hormone and estradiol levels, and then, the rats were killed to take the right ovary for pathological examination. The number of ovarian follicles was detected under light microscope. At 30 days after cell transplantation, another two rats were selected to mate with male rats to observe the difference in the reproductive activity.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Four of 22 rats (18%) gradually recovered their estrous cycle after cell  transplantation, with the decreased follicle-stimulating hormone level and increased estradiol level. Moreover, the number of follicles was reduced. All of these indicated that the ability to have children in rats was not damaged. These experimental findings suggest that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can partially improve the ovarian function of rats under chemotherapy.
