Abstract

Provided herein are methods of treatment of individuals having an immune-related disease, disorder or condition, for example, inflammatory bowel disease, graft-versus-host disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, diabetes, mycosis fungoides (Alibert-Bazin syndrome), or scleroderma using placental stem cells or umbilical cord stem cells.

Claims

1. A method of treating an individual having inflammatory bowel disease, comprising administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of non-hematopoietic placental stem cells, wherein said placental stem cells are CD10⁺,CD34⁻

, CD105⁺, CD200⁺, and CD117⁻

as detectable by flow cytometry, and wherein the therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to cause a detectable improvement in one or more symptoms of said inflammatory bowel disease.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said inflammatory bowel disease is ulcerative colitis.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said inflammatory bowel disease is Crohn'"'"'s disease.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein said Crohn'"'"'s disease is gastroduodenal Crohn'"'"'s disease, jejunoileitis, ileitis, ileocolitis, or Crohn'"'"'s colitis.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said symptom is one or more of diarrhea, abdominal pain, inflammation and swelling of a part of the gastrointestinal tract, formation of scar tissue in the intestines, formation of sores or ulcers in the intestine, development of one or more fistulas in the intestinal wall, or development of one or more fissures in the anus.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein said symptom is one or more of diarrhea, abdominal pain, inflammation and swelling of a part of the gastrointestinal tract, formation of scar tissue in the intestines, formation of sores or ulcers in the intestine, development of one or more fistulas in the intestinal wall, or development of one or more fissures in the anus.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein said symptom is development of one or more fistulas in the intestinal wall or development of one or more fissures in the anus.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein said symptom is development of one or more fistulas in the intestinal wall or development of one or more fissures in the anus.

9. The method of claim 1, comprising administering a second therapeutic agent to said individual.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein said second therapeutic agent is one or more of an anti-inflammatory agent, an immunosuppressant compound, a steroid, or an antibiotic.

11. The method of claim 3, comprising administering a second therapeutic agent to said individual.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein said second therapeutic agent is one or more of an anti-inflammatory agent, an immunosuppressant compound, a steroid, or an antibiotic.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein about 1×

10⁷, 5×

10⁷, 1×

10⁸, or 5×

10⁸ placental stem cells are administered or wherein between 1 million and 10 billion placental stem cells are administered.

14. The method of claim 3, wherein about 1×

10⁸ , or 5×

10⁸ placental stem cells are administered or wherein between 1 million and 10 billion placental stem cells are administered.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein said placental stem cells are administered directly into an organ.

17. The method of claim 2, wherein said placental stem cells are administered directly into an organ.

18. The method of claim 3, wherein said placental stem cells are administered directly into an organ.
