Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is a hot spot in the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, and CT brain perfusion scan is mostly used to observe the improvement in the blood flow in the ischemic region. However, X-ray irradiation during CT brain perfusion may affect the viability of transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and then influence the therapeutic efficacy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of CT brain perfusion dose on the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: Passage 5 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and randomized into three groups, with 6 tubes in each group. One of the six tubes in each group was randomly selected with no irradiation, and the remaining five tubes in each group were subjected to CT brain perfusion scans 1-5 times, respectively. After scanning, the cell number was counted after 10-day continuous culture and cell growth curve of each tube was drawn. Cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry, and cell viability was measured by MTT method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 10 days of continuous counting, the number of cells per tube showed no difference (P > 0.05), and cell growth curves were basically coincided. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the cell cycle and cell viability (P > 0.05). Experimental findings show that the CT brain perfusion scan has no effect on the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
