Abstract
IntroductionBone marrow-derived multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs) are adult allogeneic adherent stem cells currently investigated clinically for use in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To date, there is no agreement on which is the best method for stem cells delivery in ARDS. Here, we compared the efficacy of two different methods of administration and biodistribution of MAPC for the treatment of ARDS in a sheep model.MethodsMAPC were labelled with [18F] fluoro-29-deoxy-D-glucose and delivered by endobronchial (EB) or intravenous route 1 hour after lipopolysaccharide infusion in sheep mechanically ventilated. PET/CT images were acquired to determine the biodistribution and retention of the cells at 1 and 5 hours of administration.ResultsThe distribution and retention of the MAPC was dependent on the method of cell administration. By EB route, PET images showed that MAPC remained at the site of administration and no changes were observed after 5 hours, whereas with intravenous route, the cells had broad biodistribution to different organs, being the lung the main organ of retention at 1 and 5 hours. MAPC demonstrated an equal effect on arterial oxygenation recovery by either route of administration.ConclusionThe EB or intravenous routes of administration of MAPC are both effective for the treatment of ARDS in an acute sheep model, and the effect of MAPC therapy is not dependent of parenchymal integration or systemic biodistribution.
