Disease Effect of transplantation Mechanism Reference
Cardiac infarction Enhancement of cardiac function MSC-mediated secretion of IL-10 [11]
Cardiac infarction Reduced infarction size, improved LV function, Enhancement of angiogenetic factors such as VEGF, reduction of apoptosis [32]
Cardiac infarction Improved LVEF, increase in angiogenesis CXCR-4-SDF-1 [33]
Cardiac infarction Decreased LV dilatation and dysfunction Attenuated IL-6 and TNFα production Increased expression of IL-10 [17]
Cardiac infarction Increased fractional shortening and LVEF VEGF [34]
Cardiac infarction Infarct healing Modulation of macrophage phenotype → IL-10, IL-6, TNFα [35]
Cardiac infarction Improved LV function Increased IL-10 [18]
Cardiac infarction Collagen formation IL-6 [36]
Cardiac infarction Survival after AMI low IL-6 level [37]
Cardiac infarction Collateral remodeling VEGF [38]
Type 1 diabetes mellitus Repair the destroyed islets in diabetic mice MSC differentiation and immunomodulatory effects [39]
Arthritis Decrease in cartilage erosion IL-4, IL-10, IFNγ [40]
Arthritis Improved arthritis symptoms Decrease in TNFα and inflammatory cells, Increased expressions of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IP-10 and CXCR3) [41]
Traumatic Brain Injury Improvement in neurological function Reduction of inflammatory cells and proinflammatory cytokines, increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines [42]
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm formation Attenuated formation IL-17 production [43]
Spinal cord compression Injury Promotes tissue sparing NGF [44]
Acute lung injury Reduced collagen deposition and neutrophilic infiltration Decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα) and VEGF, nitrate and nitrite. [45]
Acute kidney injury Improved kidney function IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα, IL-4, [46]
Cerebral ischemia Decrease in neuronal apoptosis and improved neurological function Increase in IL-10 expression [47]
