Stem Cells | 2018-09-05 Cobalt Chloride Enhances the Anti-Inflammatory Potency of Human Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells through the ERK-HIF-1α-MicroRNA-146a-Mediated Signaling Pathway
MSC shows therapeutic effects through paracrine secretion or intercellular contact that regulates inflammatory or immune responses. Through the asthma mouse model, this study showed that CoCl2 enhances the anti-inflammatory activity of MSC through the ERK-HIF-1a-miRNA124a pathway, and CoCl2 has better therapeutic efficacy for inflammatory diseases of pretreated MSC.· Issue information | 2018 Sep 5;2018:4978763. doi: 10.1155/2018/4978763 · Co-author | Ji Hye Kwak, Soo Jin Choi, Wonil Oh, Yoon Sun Yang, Hong Bae Jeon, Eun Su Jeon |

Stem Cells | 2018-07-11 Intracellular Calcium Determines the Adipogenic Differentiation Potential of Human Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells via the Wnt5a/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
Calcium enhances the ability of cord blood-derived stem cells to differentiate into fat, which is observed through Wnt5a / β-Catenin signaling. Culture conditions to improve stem cell differentiation potency were identified through the above results.· Issue information | Stem Cells Int. 2018 Jul 11;2018:6545071. doi: 10.1155/2018/6545071 · Co-author | Yun Kyung Bae, Ji Hye Kwon, Miyeon Kim, Gee-Hye Kim, Soo Jin Choi, Wonil Oh, Yoon Sun Yang, Hye Jin Jin, Hong Bae Jeon |

Stem Cells | 2016-03-22 Senescence associated MCP-1 secretion is dependent on a decline in BMI1 in human mesenchymal stromal cells.
In the present study, we provide the first evidence supporting the existence of the MCP-1 as a causative contributor to human UCB-MSCs senescence and positive feedback between the intrinsic and extrinsic circuitry of the process. MCP-1 induction is epigenetically regulated by a reduction in BMI1 in senescent UCB-MSC.· Issue information | Antioxid Redox Signal. 2015 Nov 17. doi: 10.1089/ars.2015.6359. · Co-author | Hye Jin Jin, Hyang Ju Lee, Jisun Lim, Miyeon Kim, Min Kyung Kim, Hae Yun Nam, Gyong Hwa Hong, Yon Sook Cho, Soo Jin Choi, In-Gyu Kom, Dong-Myung Shin, Seong Who Kim |
