The Paracrine Effect of Transplanted Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells on Ovarian Function Improvement in a Mouse Model of Chemotherapy-Induced Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

The effect of human hAECs and hAECs-CM administration on mice body weight and the detection of transplanted hAECs. (a) Weight of mice treated with hAECs and hAECs-CM 24 hours after chemotherapy. The weight of Bu/Cy-treated administrated mice decreased significantly 7 days after chemotherapy when compared with mice in the control group (). Mice of hAECs- and hAECs-CM-treated groups weighed more compared with Bu/Cy mice treated with Bu/Cy administrated at any time point, although the differences were not significant. (b) The weight of mice that received Bu/Cy treatment and then an IP injection of hAECs or hAECs-CM 7 days later. (c) A representative gel electrophoresis of detection of the SRY gene in female mice ovaries treated with male hAECs by a simultaneous nested PCR analysis. The nested amplified product of the SRY sequence on the Y chromosome is 198 bp in length.
