Abstract

Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) are an essential cell type in the hematopoietic microenvironment. The question of whether MSCs from patients with different leukemias have cytogenetic abnormalities is controversial. In this study, we attempted to review the cytogenetic profiles of MSCs in patients with leukemia, and verify whether these profiles were related to different ex vivo culture conditions or to chronic or acute disease states. This information could be useful in clarifying the origin of MSCs and developing clinical applications for this cell type.
