It has been accepted that mesenchymal (stromal) stem cells (MSCs) present in bone<br />

marrow mononuclear cells concentrate are therapeutic cells involved in regenerative<br />

process. Emerging evidence suggest that most of the beneficial effects of MSCs could be<br />

explained by secretion of soluble factors contributing by paracrine fashion to the multiple<br />

effects including modulation of inflammatory and immune reactions, modulation of cell<br />

death and stimulation of endogenous progenitor cells.<br />

Sulforaphane (SFN) is one of naturally occurring cancer chemopreventive isothiocyanates<br />

found in cruciferous vegetables, consumption of which has been associated with reduced<br />

risk of cancer. We found that low concentrations of SFN that do not affect the viability of<br />

bone marrow-derived MSCs as shown by MTT assay, increase the surface expression of<br />

CD105, CD44 and CD90 proteins. Recently, CD44 and CD90 expression have been shown<br />

to be associated with the responsiveness of CLI patients to bone marrow mononuclear<br />

cell therapy.<br />

Thus SFN might enhance the quality of MSCs as reflected on the expression of cell<br />

surface markers and find utilization in regenerative medicine.<br />
