Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that reside in almost all postnatal tissues where, due to the potent regenerative, pro-angiogenic and immunomodulatory properties, regulate tissue homeostasis. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) induces oxidative stress, inflammation and ischemia which recruit MSCs from their niches in inflamed and injured tissues. Through the activity of MSC-sourced anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic factors, MSCs reduce hypoxia, suppress inflammation, prevent fibrosis and enhance regeneration of damaged cells in OSA-injured tissues. The results obtained in large number of animal studies demonstrated therapeutic efficacy of MSCs in the attenuation of OSA-induced tissue injury and inflammation. Herewith, in this review article, we emphasized molecular mechanisms which are involved in MSC-based neo-vascularization and immunoregulation and we summarized current knowledge about MSC-dependent modulation of OSA-related pathologies.
