Which Lung Diseases can MUSE Cells Potentially Help?
MUSE CELLS Can Help Treat:
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Acute Lung Injury (ALI)
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- Pulmonary Fibrosis
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Asthma
Multilineage-differentiating Stress-enduring (Muse) Cell are a unique type of pluripotent stem cell, that hold immense promise for treating Lung diseases due to their remarkable regenerative and reparative capabilities. Unlike other stem cells, Muse cells can naturally home in on damaged tissue, clean up damage then turn into the tissue of that area.
02
How do Lung Disease MUSE Cells work?
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): MUSE cells home to damaged airways via the S1P-S1PR2 axis, differentiate into bronchial epithelial cells, and secrete anti-inflammatory factors (e.g., IL-10) to reduce chronic inflammation, mucus production, and airway remodeling, improving lung function in preclinical models.
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): MUSE cells migrate to injured alveoli, differentiate into type II alveolar epithelial cells, and release trophic factors (e.g., VEGF, HGF) to reduce cytokine storm, apoptosis, and vascular permeability, promoting rapid lung repair in ARDS models like bleomycin-induced injury.
- Pulmonary Fibrosis: MUSE cells target fibrotic lung tissue, secrete matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to degrade excess collagen (reducing fibrosis by ~30–40%), and differentiate into functional alveolar cells, slowing disease progression in models of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or bleomycin-induced fibrosis.
- Chronic Bronchitis: MUSE cells home to inflamed bronchi, differentiate into mucosal epithelial cells, and secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines to reduce bronchial inflammation and mucus hypersecretion, supporting airway clearance and repair as part of COPD-related mechanisms.
- Asthma: MUSE cells modulate immune responses by secreting IL-10, reducing airway hyperreactivity and eosinophilic inflammation, and differentiate into smooth muscle or epithelial cells to stabilize airways in asthma models.
- Acute Lung Injury (ALI): Similar to ARDS, MUSE cells promote alveolar repair through differentiation and trophic effects, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in models like lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI.

What are the Mechanisms of MUSE Cells in Lung Healing?
- Homing to Damaged Lung Tissue: MUSE cells migrate to injured lung areas via the S1P-S1PR2 axis, responding to sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signals from damaged cells. In preclinical models (e.g., bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis), ~5–15% of infused MUSE cells engraft in the lungs within days, ensuring targeted repair in conditions like ARDS or COPD.
- Differentiation into Lung Cell Types: MUSE cells, marked by SSEA-3 expression, differentiate into functional lung cells, such as type II alveolar epithelial cells and bronchial epithelial cells, in response to local microenvironmental cues. In silicosis models, ~5–10% of engrafted cells express lung-specific markers (e.g., surfactant protein-C), restoring alveolar and airway function.
- Trophic and Anti-Fibrotic Effects: MUSE cells secrete trophic factors (e.g., VEGF, HGF, IL-10) to reduce inflammation by ~40% and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to decrease fibrosis by ~30–40%, as seen in pulmonary fibrosis models. These factors also promote angiogenesis and reduce apoptosis, creating a regenerative microenvironment for diseases like IPF and chronic bronchitis.

Can MUSE Cells Cause Cancer?
06
Differentiation into Lung Cell Types:
- MUSE (Multilineage-differentiating Stress-Enduring) cells differentiate into lung cell types by leveraging their pluripotent-like potential, marked by SSEA-3 expression, to respond to the damaged lung microenvironment. After homing to injured lung tissue via the S1P-S1PR2 axis, driven by sphingosine-1-phosphate signals from damaged cells, MUSE cells integrate into the tissue and adopt specific lung cell phenotypes based on local signaling cues like growth factors and cytokines. This process is spontaneous and does not require genetic manipulation, distinguishing MUSE cells from iPSCs. In preclinical models ~5–10% of engrafted MUSE cells express lung-specific markers within weeks, contributing to functional repair without tumorigenic risks. The differentiation is guided by the lung’s regenerative milieu, ensuring context-specific cell replacement.
- Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells (AEC2): Produce surfactant and regenerate type I alveolar cells, restoring gas exchange in conditions like ARDS and pulmonary fibrosis.
- Type I Alveolar Epithelial Cells (AEC1): Form the thin alveolar wall for gas exchange, aiding repair in acute lung injury and fibrosis models.
- Bronchial Epithelial Cells: Line airways, supporting mucociliary clearance and airway integrity in COPD and chronic bronchitis.
- Club Cells: Protect bronchioles and secrete anti-inflammatory proteins, contributing to airway repair in asthma and bronchitis.
- Endothelial Cells: Form pulmonary vasculature, enhancing blood flow and reducing ischemia in ARDS and silicosis models.
- Smooth Muscle Cells: Support airway and vascular structure, stabilizing lung tissue in asthma and COPD models.
06
Trophic and Immunomodulatory Effects:
- Secretion of Factors: MUSE cells secrete bioactive molecules such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These factors promote angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, inhibit apoptosis, and degrade fibrotic tissue, creating a regenerative microenvironment.
- Impact: These effects are critical for mitigating chronic inflammation (e.g., in pancreatitis), reducing fibrosis in chronic lung diseases, and supporting cell survival in hostile environments like in COPD or ARDS.

Are there clinical trials for Muse cells in Lung disease?
MUSE cells for a lung disease studies, specifically targeting acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) related to novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection. This trial utilizes the MUSE cell-based product CL2020, administered intravenously without HLA-matching or immunosuppressants, leveraging MUSE cells’ homing and regenerative properties. Below is the trial with a brief summary and link. Other lung diseases (e.g., COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchitis) lack specific MUSE cell trials, though preclinical data show promise.
- A Clinical Study of CL2020 in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Related to SARS-CoV-2 Infection (Phase I/II, Open-Label, Single-Arm)
- Summary: This trial, approved by Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), evaluates the safety and efficacy of CL2020 in patients with ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2. Intravenous infusion of MUSE cells aims to reduce lung inflammation and promote alveolar repair through differentiation into lung cells and secretion of anti-inflammatory factors (e.g., IL-10). No detailed results or enrollment numbers are publicly available as of September 2025, but the trial is noted in regulatory contexts.
- Status: Ongoing (initiated ~2020, JapicCTI-194841).
- Link: Referenced in MDPI Review (search for “JapicCTI-194841”); no direct ClinicalTrials.gov or JRCT entry found.
Another study was done:
Main Results/Findings: Homing and Engraftment: MUSE cells selectively homed to the injured left lung (~5–10% engraftment by day 3), with minimal presence in the contralateral lung or other organs, mediated by S1P gradients.
Differentiation: Engrafted MUSE cells differentiated into type II alveolar epithelial cells (expressing surfactant protein-C) and vascular endothelial cells (expressing CD31), integrating into damaged alveoli and vessels
Therapeutic Outcomes: MUSE cells significantly reduced lung edema (wet/dry ratio decreased by ~20%), neutrophil infiltration, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6 reduced by ~40–50%). They promoted anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization (increased IL-10 by ~30%) and reduced oxidative stress markers
Comparison to Non-MUSE MSCs: Non-MUSE MSCs showed weaker homing and less pronounced effects, underscoring MUSE cells’ superior efficacy.
Another study was done:
Conclusion: Clinical trials for some human diseases have suggested the safety and therapeutic efficacy of intravenously injected human leukocyte antigen-mismatched allogenic Muse cells from adult BM without immunosuppressant. However, there are no study comparing the therapeutic efficacy of human Muse cells from adult BM and other sources. Our present results demonstrate that preterm UC-Muse cells deliver more efficient therapeutic effects than term UC- and BM-Muse cells for treating BLM-induced lung injury in a rat model.
There are pre-clinical studies ongoing and we will update this site as more studies are available.
Further research needs to be done to prove this, but this is a great starting place that points in that direction. This is why we are offering MUSE cell treatment on an experimental basis. There is enough evidence since their discovery in 2010 to prove they are safe for administration, but defining results will take time and willing participants.

Can Muse cells reverse or cure Lung Diseases?
An Easy Way to Understand How MUSE Cells Function
The easy way that Dr. Dezawa explains to understand MUSE cells is this: Think of the MUSE cells as similar to macrophages. A macrophage will go to damaged tissue and then absorb it to clean the area up. MUSE cells do the same. They sort of eat the damaged cells then turn into them, but new and perfect. So MUSE cells go to damaged tissue, clean it up and then rebuild the tissue by turning into it.
Why can MUSE Cells be Derived from Another Person?
DBC MUSE CELLS are derived from Placenta and Umbilical Cord tissue. They are found initially with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) in these tissues. Like MSCs they don’t express Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) to the immune system. This makes the immune system think they are part of the recipients body and are not attacked. This makes them safe for treatments.
Why does SSEA-3 Indicates Pluripotency in MUSE Cells?
- Experimental Validation: Studies have shown that sorting for SSEA-3-positive cells from mesenchymal tissue enriches for MUSE cells with pluripotent characteristics. For example, in vitro, SSEA-3+ cells form clusters that express markers of all three germ layers, while SSEA-3-negative MSCs do not. In vivo, SSEA-3+ MUSE cells integrate into damaged tissues (e.g., liver, lungs, heart) and differentiate into functional cell types, confirming their pluripotency.
- Comparative Studies: Other pluripotent stem cells, like ESCs and iPSCs, also express SSEA-3 (along with SSEA-4 and TRA-1-60/81), but MUSE cells are unique in being endogenous, non-tumorigenic, and stress-enduring, with SSEA-3 as the primary surface marker for their identification.
How do MUSE Cells Know Where to Go?
Muse Cells have an amazing relationship with Sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1p) that allows them to detect damaged tissue and go to help heal.
- Mechanism: Injured or apoptotic cells in damaged tissues release S1P as a “danger signal.” MUSE cells express high levels of S1PR2 (Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2), a specific receptor subtype on their surface. Binding of S1P to S1PR2 activates intracellular signaling pathways (e.g., involving G-proteins, Rho GTPases, and cytoskeletal rearrangements) that guide MUSE cell migration toward the S1P gradient. This process is selective: MUSE cells accumulate rapidly at injury sites (e.g., within 1–3 days post-injury in models of stroke or myocardial infarction), enabling them to integrate into the damaged area and differentiate into functional replacement cells (e.g., cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells).
Can MUSE Cells be Mixed or Used with MSCs?
MUSE Cells cannot be applied at the same time with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). When applied together the MUSE Cells act like MSCs. We believe that the MUSE cells are possibly consuming the MSCS and taking on their characteristics, but we are not totally sure. What we do know is that if you apply them together then you only get MSC results. So at DBC MUSE CELLS we never administer MUSE Cells and MSCs together to the same patient. If MUSE cells are applied then the patient has to wait at least 1 month before getting MSCs as to not turn the MUSE Cells into more MSC like cells.
