干细胞治疗终末期肝病的进展

许多致病因素都能导致肝功能极度减退甚至衰竭,从而进入终末期肝病阶段,常规治疗手段对于终末期肝病的疗效始终不理想。原位肝移植虽较为有效,但是因为费用高、肝源不足、免疫排斥等因素,不能大规模应用于临床,细胞治疗一直为临床所期待。肝疾病细胞治疗细胞来源以及利用胚胎干细胞和人诱导性多能干细胞向肝细胞诱导的研究近年来有了长足进展。随着干细胞技术的兴起与发展以及诱导技术的逐步成熟,解决了肝细胞来源稀缺的问题,为治疗终末期肝病提供了新的思路。

Progress of the application of stem cell therapy for#br#end-stage liver disease

Many risk factors lead to hypohepatia and hepatic failure, causing people suff ering from end-stageliver disease. Th e conventional treatment for end-stage liver disease is not good enough. Orthotopicliver transplantation is eff ective. However, the high cost, lack of liver source, immune rejection andother factors limit the large-scale clinical application. Th us, cell therapy is a good option. Studieson common cell sources for the treatment of liver disease and the induction of hepatocytes byembryonic stem cells or pluripotent stem cells have made progress. With the development of stemcell technology, cell transplantation has become a new option, which brings hope to people withend-stage liver diseasetransplantation has become a new option. It brings hope to people with endstageliver disease.
