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.
