Table 6 Overview of effects of Wharton’s jelly/umbilical cord matrix cells after spinal cord injury

Source of MSC	Main pathological features improved/repaired	Limitations/recommendations/conclusions	Ref.
Human	Survival of transplanted HUMSCs 16 wk, secretion of human neutrophil-activating protein-2, neurotrophin-3, basic fibroblast growth factor, glucocorticoid induced tumor necrosis factor receptor, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 in the host spinal cord	Transplantation of HUMSCs is beneficial to wound healing after SCI in rats	Yang et al[82], 2008
	Axonal regeneration, neuroprotective action by grafted cells, functional recovery	Co-grafted HUMSCs and BDNF may be a potential therapy for SCI	Zhang et al[83], 2009
	hUCMSCs survive, migrate, and produce GDNF and neurotrophin-3, functional recovery	Studies on dose-dependent effects of hUCMSCs transplantation on SCI are required	Hu et al[84], 2010
	Increased intensity of 5-HT fibers, increased volume of spared myelination, decreased area of cystic cavity, functional recovery	NT-3 enhanced therapeutic effects of HUMSCs after clip injury of the spinal cord.	Shang et al[85], 2011
