The aim of this preliminary study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bone-marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) and umbilical-cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) administration in type 2 diabetes patients
Full description
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients had peripheral insulin resistance accompanied by progressive pancreatic beta cell degeneration and dysfunction due to glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity. Several studies have shown that the immune system plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of T2D. Bone-marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) and umbilical-cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) via its immunomodulatory properties have the potential to improve insulin resistance condition and pancreatic beta-cells dysfunction thus improve the glycemic control and insulin requirement in T2D patients. In this pilot study, we plan to recruit 15 T2D patients with total daily dose of insulin >= 0.5 unit/kgBW/day to receive BM-MNCs (5 subjects) or UC-MSCs injections (10 subjects). These subjects will be closely followed up for 12 months for evaluation of primary and secondary outcome.
