Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) are the most promising seed cells for cell transplant therapy. Hypoxia is a known stimulus of autophagy. Recent studies showed that hypoxia promotes autophagy of human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CP-MSCs). However, whether hypoxia affects autophagy of bmMSCs has not been examined. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of hypoxia on autophagy of mouse bmMSCs and the underlying mechanisms.
