Attenuating Hypoxia-Induced Apoptosis and Autophagy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells: the Potential of Sitagliptin in Stem Cell-Based Therapy

Background/Aims: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have pleiotropic effects on cardiovascular protection beyond the antidiabetic property. However, it remains unknown that the impact of one DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin on the survival of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in hypoxia and serum depr...
