Objective:To evaluate that the effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on thymomas induced by irradiation.Methods: A total of 160 cleaning degree C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups randomly: control group of 40 mice with non-irradiation; irradiation group of 40 mice with irradiation; irradiation+ADSCs group with 40 mice, thymoma model mice injected with 0.5 mL ADSCs via tail vein at one day after last irradiation; non-irradiation+ADSCs group of 40 mice with the same ADSCs injection as irradiation+ADSCs group. All mice were sacrificed on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day after last irradiation, localization of ADSCs in thymoma tissue was detected using fluorescence microscope. Four groups mice were sacrificed on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th day and the 6th month after last irradiation, pathological changes of thymus gland tissue were observed by HE staining and immunohistochemistry assay.Results: The thymoma incidence of irradiation+ADSCs group was significantly lower in control group. The expression of CD31 and PCNA in irradiation group and irradiation+ADSCs group mice was significantly higher than that of control group, and the expression of PCNA in irradiation+ADSCs group mice was significantly lower than that of radiation group mice. Conclusios:ADSCs can reduce the degree of irradiation damage of thymus tissue and inhibit the growth of thymoma induced by irradiation.
