uchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited disorder
caused by mutation in gene that prevents the translation
of dystrophin protein, which leads to massive skeletal muscle
wasting. Any form of muscular dystrophy is considered as an
incurable disease yet there are occupational treatments assisting
patients with locomotion strengthening and to further extend
the lifespan. Thus, emerging treatment strategy is warranted
to improve patients’ conditions from DMD. In the present study,
we have evaluated the therapeutic outcome of human umbilical
cord derived mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSC) in patients
with DMD. In light of that, we have produced therapeutically
safe (chromosomal stability, stable immunophenotyping and
mesodermal lineage differentiation ability) hUC-MSCs in our
GMP compliance laboratory. Patients (24 and 27 years old) were
administrated- intravenous (50X106) + intramuscular (50X106)
one single dose of hUC-MSC and followed up for 12 months.
Therapeutic efficacy was measured as based on the level of
creatinine phosphokinase (CK) in plasma. Both patients were
highly responsive to hUC- MSC and the CK level was significantly
dropped from 3rd month of post transplantation. After 12 months
of post transplantation the CK level was slightly increased in both
patients as compared to 6th month. However, the level of CK level
was still significantly lower than basal level. In conclusion, one
single dose of hUC-MSCs treatment may not be sufficient to give
better clinical outcome and also these results suggested that
multi-dose of hUC-MSCs may give long term beneficial effects in
patients with DMD.
