Concise Review: The Deleterious Effects of Cigarette Smoking and Nicotine Usage and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Function and Implications for Cell-Based Therapies.
Stem Cells Translational Medicine 2017 September
Stem cell sources for cell-based therapeutics are often screened for infectious agents and genetic diseases prior to implantation; however, there are other risk factors that are often overlooked, which may ultimately lead to less efficacious clinical outcomes. One such risk factor is exposure of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to cigarette smoke or nicotine. Recent data have shown that exposure to cigarette smoke or nicotine leads to decreased regenerative potential, namely decreased proliferation, decreased migration, and decreased differentiation potential of exposed MSCs. This review provides a brief introduction into MSCs and their respective niches and a summary regarding the interactions of cigarettes and nicotine with MSCs populations. Specifically, the effects of cigarette smoke and nicotine on the regenerative potential of MSCs (i.e., proliferation, migration, and differentiation) will be covered with an emphasis on considerations for the development of future cell-based clinical trials and therapies.
