间充质干细胞的炎症调控作用及其在心力衰竭中的应用前景

    Regulatory role of mesenchymal stem cells in inflammation and application prospects in heart failure

    • 摘要: 我国心力衰竭的患病率仍持续增高,且死亡率居高不下。心力衰竭患者的心脏存在持续的低度炎症,但目前尚无针对心脏炎症的干预策略。间充质干细胞因具有抗炎及免疫调节作用,可通过多种途径调控先天性免疫(如调节巨噬细胞、中性粒细胞、自然杀伤细胞、树突状细胞等)和适应性免疫(如调节T淋巴细胞和B淋巴细胞等),从而维持免疫稳态,有助于改善衰竭心脏的结构和功能,从而在多种炎症性疾病的治疗中展示出临床应用前景。大量临床研究表明间充质干细胞治疗可以调控心脏炎症、有效逆转心室重构、改善心衰患者的心脏功能,将有望改变心力衰竭的治疗现状。

       

      Abstract: The incidence of heart failure in our country continues to rise, with a high and persistent mortality rate. Patients with heart failure have a constant low-level inflammation in the heart, but currently there is no intervention strategy specifically targeting cardiac inflammation. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), owing to their anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory properties, possess the capability to regulate both innate immunity (comprising of macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells and dendritic cells, etc.) and adaptive immunity (encompassing T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes) via diverse signaling pathways. This regulation plays a pivotal role in preserving immune homeostasis and potentially enhancing the structure and function of compromised hearts, thus highlighting the promising clinical applications of MSCs in treating a wide range of inflammatory ailments. Numerous clinical studies have shown that MSCs therapy can regulate cardiac inflammation, effectively reverse ventricular remodeling and improve cardiac function in patients with heart failure, and MSCs therapy is expected to change the current treatment status of heart failure.
