Abstract:
Background: Adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) are a type of stem cell employed
to repair damaged organs. This study aimed to see how effective AMSCs are at treating gentamycin-
induced hepatorenal damage in rats.
Methods: 18 male Wister rats were assigned into three groups; control, Gentamycin (GM), and
GM+AMSCs. GM induced hepatorenal toxicity through daily injection (100 mg/kg, i.p.) for eight
days. On day 9, AMSC (106 cells/ml/rat) was injected intravenously.
Results: Creatinine, urea, uric acid, AST, ALP, ALT, TNF-, and MDA levels decreased, whereas
IL-10, GSH, and CAT levels increased, indicating the therapeutic potency of intravenous injection
AMSCs.
Conclusion: The current study demonstrated the simultaneous therapeutic efficacy of adipose mesenchymal
stem cells on the liver and kidney in the treatment of Gentamycin-induced hepatotoxicity.
These data show that AMSCs could be a feasible therapy option for liver and kidney disease.
