The aim of this research is to compare the capabilities of Adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in the treatment of diabetic male mice with CLI model. Supernatants were collected from C57BL/6 mice isolated AT-MSCs and BM-MSCs, afterward their effects on human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVEC) migration potential were evaluated. Diabetes mellitus type 1 was induced by streptozotocin injection. Diabetic mice with CLI model were divided into three groups and injected with AT-MSCs, BM-MSCs, or PBS then the efficacy of them was assessed. Survival of MSCs was analysed by SRY-specific gene. The conditioned medium of AT-MSCs and BM-MSCs stimulated HUVECs migration and the donor cells were detected till 21 day in two groups. BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs improved significantly functional recovery and ischemia damage. Neovascularization in ischemic muscle was significantly higher in mice treated with AT-MSCs and BM-MSCs and they improved muscle regeneration. In vivo and in vitro findings show that AT-MSCs and BM-MSCs transplantation could be proposed as a promising therapy to promote angiogenesis and muscle regeneration through secretion of proangiogenic factors, cytokines and growth factors in diabetic mice with CLI model wherein blood supply is insufficient and disrupted.
