Objective: The objective of this study was to compare between the efficacies of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)
and betamethasone in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Material and method: 90 male albino mice were divided equally into 2 models as follows: MSC model, group 1:
saline control group, group 2: Acetic acid, group 3: CIA, group 4: induced arthritis mice that received intravenous injection
of MSCs. Betamethasone model, group 1: phosphate buffer saline, group 2: Acetic acid, group 3: betamethasone
control, group 4: CIA, group 5: induced arthritis mice that received intraperitoneal injection of betamethasone. Mice
arthritis models were assessed by clinical paw edema and x-rays, at the proper time of sacrefaction, tissues were
collected and examined using real-time PCR (RT-PCR), synovial tissue was examined for (IL-10) interleukin.. View More»
