Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Co-transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can improve the survival rate following radiation damage.
OBJECTIVE: To review the mechanisms of BMSCs in hematopoietic reconstitution and immunomodulation after radiation damage.
METHODS: Relevant articles included in the Web of science from 2005 to 2016 were retrieved, and the keywords were “mesenchymal stem cells; radiation; radiation injury; hematopoietic stem cells; hematopoietic reconstitution; immunomodulatory” in English. Then we sorted and analyzed the articles which were closely related to the theme.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: BMSCs can repair broken DNA double bonds by autophagy and HR/NHEJ pathway; support and protect HSCs by intercellular interactions and paracrine action; and repair radiation-induced hematopoietic injury by inhibiting inflammation and immune responses to maintain HSC homeostasis. Therefore, BMSCs may function as an effective treatment for radiation-induced hematopoietic injury.
