The authors investigated whether autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMC) transplantation via the left and right main bronchi would mitigate elastase-induced pulmonary emphysema in rabbits. Four weeks after elastase administration, rabbits also receiving BMCs showed significantly better pulmonary function (FVC, FEV100, FEVPEF) and smaller alveolar airspaces, as indicated by a smaller mean linear intercept, than those receiving porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) (200 U/kg) alone via the left and right main bronchi. BMCs also significantly reduced cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, the incidence of apoptotic (TUNEL-positive) cells and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 expression, while increasing numbers of proliferative (Ki-67-positive) cells. Thus, BMCs may inhibit the progression to emphysema by attenuating inflammation, MMP-2 expression, and apoptosis, while enhancing alveolar cell proliferation.
