Abstract: Objective: To investigate whether the embryonic stem cells(ESC) could selective implant into the uterine cavities of endometrium-injured mouse and help the endometrium reparation. Methods:The mouse model with freshly injured endometrium was established. ESCs derived from EGFP transgenic mouse were transplanted into the endometrium-injured mouse uterines. Then, the retention and the effects of ESCs on the reparation of injured endometrium and the tumorigenicity of post-transplanted stem cells were observed. Results:The ESCs survived in the uterine cavities more than 3 weeks with the rate of tumorigenicity increasing in time dependently. ESCs intravenous-injected could concentrated in the endometrium-injured uterine cavities and other injured parts of the body. Conclusions:Injury is the most important inducing factor of ESCs recruitment. However,the problems of inducing directional differentiation and managing the neoplasia of ESCs are remain unsolved.
