About 1% of women suffer from premature ovarian failure, which leads to a significant deterioration in the life quality. Most often
this condition is caused by performed chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases, surgery performed on ovaries, uterus, or fallopian
tubes. The aim of this study was to compare different approaches of tissue and cell therapy in restoring the sexual function in case
of ovarian failure induced by chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in BALB/c mice with the modeled
ovarian failure, induced by cyclophosphamide and busulfan. The restoration dynamics of ovarian and sexual function, liver and
kidneys after application of cryopreserved explants, cryoextract, placental mesenchymal stem cells, those of adipose tissue has been
studied. Results: It has been shown that the use of various methods of cell and tissue therapy has comparable efficacy when treating
an ovarian failure induced by chemotherapy. The most rapid and complete restoration of the reproductive system, liver and kidneys
was observed when using the placental explants, extract and cells, but not with the use of mesenchymal stem cells of adipose tissue.
No recovery of fertility in this experiment was observed. Conclusion: Various methods of cellular and tissue therapy are perspective
in treatment of the chemotherapy complications. More effective are placental derivates.
Key Words: premature ovarian failure, chemotherapy, MSCs, placenta, menopause.
In developed countries, the physiological age of the
menopause onset is 50–52 years. Premature ova
rian failure (POF) is observed in 1% of women under
40 and 0.1% under 30 years, among those 37% is due
to iatrogenic causes (mainly after onco logy treat
ment), 25% — to idiopathic, 19% — to genetic, 19% —
to autoimmune [1, 2]. Complications of premature
menopause are not only the lack of fertility, decreased
libido and amenorrhea, but also a sharp deterioration
in the quality of life, psychoemotional disorders, os
teoporosis, increased mortality from cardiovascular
diseases and strokes [3, 4]. Traditional hormone
therapy requires constant drug intake, has a number
of limitations, does not restore fertility and does not
correct pathological changes in target organs [5].
Cell therapy, protection of the ovarian reserve by the
administration of gonadotropinreleasing agonists
prior to the chemotherapy, cryopreservation of ovarian
tissue, gametes, embryos are referred to perspective
methods of POF correction [6, 7].
The most curative and numerous groups of the
patients with POF are the women with iatrogenic and
autoimmune origin of the disease [1, 3, 8]. It should
be noted that the use of methods of cell and tissue
therapy, unambiguously shown in autoimmune dis
eases, is controversial in the patients with oncologic
pathology. Along with the classical postulate, the wor
sening of cancer prognosis with the use of stimulants
and during pregnancy, there are the data on the ability
of stem cells to suppress tumor growth independently
and as a “vector” [11–14] as well as about the dif
ferentiated approaches to the restoration of fertility
in the women who underwent oncology [15, 16]. Most
researchers use the introduction of various stem cells,
often of either placental or adipose origin directly into
the ovary, to restore the function of the ovaries that
is effective in improving sexual function and ferti
lity [17–20], but requires surgery, affects less other
organs, demands the use of nonstandardized culture
techniques.
The research aim was to compare the different
approaches of tissue and cell therapy when restoring
chemotherapyinduced ovarian failure.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In the research we used 90 female 6months old
BALB/c mice weighing 20.2 ± 0.4 g with a regular
estrous cycle, which were divided into 6 groups
of 15 animals each: 1 — the animals with modeled POF
with no treatment, 2 — the animals with modeled POF
and treatment with cryopreserved placental explants,
3 — the animals with modeled POF and treatment with
placental cryoextract, 4 — the animals with modeled
POF and treatment with cryopreserved placental
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), 5 — the animals
with modeled POF and treatment with cryopreserved
adipose tissue MSCs, 6 — intact animals.
POF was simulated according to the standard
method [20] by means of administration of cyclophos
phamide at a dose of 200 mg/kg (Baxter Oncology,
Germany) and busulfan (Aspen Pharma, Germany)
at a dose of 20 mg/kg. Cyclophosphamide (200 mg)

was dissolved in 20 ml of phosphate buffered saline
(PBS), busulfan (20 mg) dissolved in 2 ml of dime
thylsulfoxide was added, and intraperitoneally admini
stered by 0.5 ml to each animal.
Placental explants were obtained from the human
placenta by fragmentation of the villi as reported
previously [21]. The placental extract was obtained
by means of previously described method [22]. With
this aim the human placenta delivered within 3 hr af
ter the cesarean section was fragmented, two parts
of PBS were added to one part of the placental tissue,
three times cooled by immersion in liquid nitrogen
and warmed in a water bath at 37 °C, centrifuged
at 1500 rpm/min, the supernatant was removed and
used. The placental MSCs were obtained by the
method previously described, wherein the placenta
cells were obtained by enzymatic method using 0.25%
trypsin [23]. The cells were phenotyped earlier, CD90,
CD73, CD105 markers were present on their surface,
CD34 was absent, they had the ability to differentiate
into osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic di
rections [23]. MSCs of adipose tissue were obtained
by the method [18] using enzymatic treatment with
collagenase.
For a number of reasons, the cell therapy necessi
tates the use of cryopreserved objects [22]. Placental
explants and MSCs were cryopreserved according
to the previously used protocol [23], the DMEM with
a high glucose content and Lglulamine (BioWest,
France) enriched with 10% fetal bovine serum (Lonza,
Germany) and 10% dimethylsulfoxide (Sigma, USA)
was used as the cryoprotective medium, were frozen
in Nunc cryotubes (USA) using isopropanol contain
ers. Mr. Frosty™ Freezing Container (Thermo Fisher
Scientific, USA) at a rate of 1 °C down to −70 °C, fol
lowed by an immersion into liquid nitrogen. Thawing
was performed in a water bath at 37 °C.
Treatment started 2 weeks later the chemotherapy.
Cryopreserved explants of the placenta were intra
muscularly injected by 10 mg through a thick needle.
The placenta extract was intramuscularly injected
by 0.01 ml once a day for 5 days. MSCs were intraperi
toneally introduced once at 1•105/animal. The dose
and mode of administration were used in accordance
with the recommendations for drug testing and pub
lications [18, 20, 24].
The dynamics of changes in the weight of animals
was studied. The function of the ovaries was examined
by the method of vaginal cytology. The sexual func
tion was examined by counting the number of vaginal
plugs. Four weeks after the chemotherapy, 5 animals
from each group were removed from the experiment,
the preparations of ovaries, the uteri as organs of re
productive system, liver and kidneys as detoxification
organs were histologically examined. After 12 weeks,
all the animals were removed from the experiments.
During the experiment, the animals were exposed
to natural light, they received standard food ad libitum.
To assess sexual and reproductive functions, females
were kept with 6months old intact BALB/c males
at 1:3 ratio. The maintenance of animals corresponded
to the current rules on equipping and keeping the
vivarium.
The results were statistically processed by the
ANOVA method using Past V. 3.15 (Hammer, Natural
History Museum, University of Oslo) software.
The placentas were obtained with the informed
consent of women after the cesarean section surgery.
The experiments were carried out in accordance with
the “General Principles of the Experiments in Animals”,
approved by the 5th Congress in Bioethics (Kyiv, 2013)
and coordinated with the statements of the “European
Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals
Used for Experimental and Other Scientific Purposes”
(Strasbourg, 1986), agreed with the Committee in Bio
ethics of the Institute for Problems of Cryobiology and
Cryomedicine of the National Academy of Sciences
of Ukraine (Protocol No. 2 of June 3rd, 2013).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
During studying the dynamics of animals’ weight
for 8 weeks, the body mass of mice of the control
group increased from 19.8 up to 22.2 g, being the
feature of mice of this age. In all the groups after
chemotherapy, the weight dropped sharply down
to 17.5 g followed by a slow recovery. Simultaneously,
at the same time, we found a change in their general
condition, i.e. hypodynamia, felted hair, eye opacity.
In the group with no treatment, the mice were restored
to the intact group for 8 weeks. The group injected with
the placenta explants restored the weight for 5 weeks
after chemotherapy, the group that received the pla
cental cryoextract did for 6 weeks, and the groups did
after the introduction of the cells for 7 weeks (Fig. 1, a).
Simultaneously with the restoration of weight, the
general condition and appearance of the animals
improved.
When investigating the number of estrous cycles
by the method of vaginal cytology in the control group,
a regular cycle was observed in all the animals. In the
animals after chemotherapy, the absence of superficial
epithelium was noted, it began to appear 5 weeks after
chemotherapy, and after 8 weeks it was observed in 50%
of mice that was in accordance with the reports on this
model [20]. In the group after the introduction of pla
cental explants, the cyclicity was restored quickly, and
6 weeks after chemotherapy it was observed in 100%
of the animals. The use of placental cryoextract restored
the estrous cycle in 80% of the animals to the 5th week.
The use of cells made it possible to achieve a result to the
week 7–8 in 70% of animals (Fig. 1, b). It should be noted
that after chemotherapy in most animals, a regular 4day
estrous cycle was not restored, there was a periodic ap
pearance of a superficial epithelium in the smear of kera
tinized cells for a period from 3 to 8 days, which indicated
the estrogen saturation of the organism, possible without
ovulation. Restoration of the estrous cycle was correlated
with the weight of mice, so when comparing the weights
of the animals and the onset of regular estrous cycle,
Experimental Oncology 39, 181–185, 2017 (September) 183
it was noted that mice weighing less than 18 g rarely had
a regular estrous cycle.
When studying the sexual function it has been
shown that the number of effective couplings in the
group after chemotherapy made 30% at week 8 that
corresponded to the published data for the model
(Fig. 1, c). With the use of various methods of therapy,
this index increased up to 60–80%, higher when the
explants were used, less if using the placental cryo
extract and cells were applied.
In the investigation of reproductive function 90%
of the control group females became pregnant during
the experiment, an average number of fetuses was 12.
None of the females after the chemotherapy became
pregnant. According to the literature data for this model,
restoration of fertility was described in the case when
the cells were introduced directly into the ovary [20].
When the animals were removed from the experi
ment at week 4 in intact animals the ovaries were of the
usual size with follicles of various maturity (Fig. 2, a),
all the layers and glands were visible in the uterus
(Fig. 2, b), the kidneys were of usual structure with pre
served glomerular and tubular apparatus (Fig. 2, c),
the liver with preserved lobular structure (Fig. 2, d).
In the animals after chemotherapy, the decreased size
of uteri and ovaries has attracted the attention. In his
tological examination a reduced number of primary
follicles, complete absence of secondary ones, sharp
atrophy, and shrinkage cells and organ as a whole were
found in ovaries (Fig. 2, e). In uterus a strong atrophy
with thinning of all the layers was observed (Fig. 2, f).
Changes in the reproductive system did not differ in all
the groups receiving chemotherapy. In the kidneys
a sharp edema of the cortical and medular layers was
observed (Fig. 2, g), however, in the groups using the
placental explants and cryoextract only a part of the
kidney was edematous, not more than a half of the
sections’ area (Fig. 2, h). In the study of liver, edema
and its impaired lobular structure were observed in all
the groups (Fig. 2, i), however, in the groups treated
with cryoextract and placenta explants, the lobular
structure was partially preserved (Fig. 2, j).
After 12 weeks when animals were removed from
the experiment in the group after chemotherapy
without treatment, a sharp increase in adipose tissue
in the abdominal cavity was observed. The ovaries
were reduced in size, histological examination indi
cated the absence of structural elements in them: yel
low bodies, primordial, primary, secondary follicles,
the stroma was filled with large cells (Fig. 3, a). The
restoration of estrogen saturation of the body in this

group of animals was evidently due to an adipose
tissue, but not ovaries. Histological examination
of uteri showed less pronounced atrophic events
than at week 4 after chemotherapy, but the thinning
of layers as well as endometrium and myometrium
atrophy was significant, the lumen was enlarged, the
number of glands decreased (Fig. 3, b). Histological
examination of kidneys demonstrated the shrinkage
of the glomeruli and a persistent edema of tubules
(Fig. 3, c). In liver the foci of cirrhosis, disordered
lobular structure, and areas of nuclear polymorphism
were observed (Fig. 3, d).
In the study of the ovaries of animals treated with
placental explants the structural elements were also
absent, but the folliclelike formations, i.e. the rounded
areas containing large cells with a light cytoplasm
(Fig. 3, e) were also enlarged if compared with the pre
vious group. Histological examination of uteri showed
an increase in the number of glands, endometrial
hyperplasia, myometrium thickening (Fig. 3, f), organ
structure differed slightly from intact animals. In kid
neys the minimal changes in glomerular and tubular
apparatus were observed (Fig. 3, g). In liver the lobular
structure was preserved, there were no cirrhosis foci,
however polymorphism of nuclei was found (Fig. 3, h).
In animals treated with placental cryoextract in the
ovaries, there were no typical elements, individual
folliclelike structures were observed (Fig. 3, i) with the
size of the ovaries smaller than in the previous group.
Uterus was close to the intact (Fig. 3, j), liver was with
preserved lobular structure, in some cases we found
the cell polymorphism, heterogeneity. The kidneys
had the preserved structure, there was a shrinkage
of individual glomeruli.
When investigating the groups treated with MSCs
of both a placental (Fig. 3, k, l) and adipose origins
(Fig. 3, m, n), the structure of organs differed slightly.
In both groups there were no typical elements in ova
ries, the hyperplasia of either individual cells or cell
groups was noted. The structure of uteri was close
to native, with some atrophy of the layers, the num
ber and size of glands were increased. In kidneys
the structure was preserved, there was a shrinkage
of some glomeruli. In liver we noted the preserved
lobular structure, individual sites of accumulation
of small nuclei.
In addition, it should be noted that a response
of animals to chemotherapy and treatment was differ
ent. So in the first group in the ovaries of one animal
the folliculogenesis was preserved, but not there
was no formation of yellow bodies and 12 weeks later
no changes in the liver and kidneys. In one animal of the
second group in response to the introduced explants
a sharp endometrial hyperplasia was observed, with

complete ovarian atrophy (Fig. 3, o). One animal of the
third group demonstrated a severe atrophy of the uterus
at week 12 (Fig. 3, p), cirrhotic changes in the liver, de
spite gaining the weight. However, the changes in the
remaining animals in the groups were of the same type.
The performed studies enabled to draw the follow
ing conclusions: the use of various methods of cell and
tissue therapy (placental explants, cryoextract, cells)
had a comparable efficacy when treating the ova rian
failure, induced by chemotherapy. With systemic
administration of drugs (nontopical), it is possible
to restore kidneys, liver, ovarian function, but not fertil
ity. The most rapid and complete restoration of repro
ductive system, liver and kidneys was observed when
using the organotypic culture and cryoextract of pla
centa. The use of MSCs derived from various sources
led to a slower recovery. Sensitivity to chemotherapy
and treatment in individuals depended on the specific
characteristics of an organism.
