骨髓间充质干细胞修复系膜增生性肾炎：作用及机制

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are likely to repair renal injury by differentiating into renal parenchymal cells.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect and mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the renal repair after mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.METHODS: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into normal group, model group and treatment group (n=10 per group). Model group and treatment group were treated with tail vein injection of mouse anti-rat monoclonal antibody Thy1.1 to prepare mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis models. One week after modeling, rats in the treatment group were given 2×106 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via the tail vein, and rats in the other two groups were given the same volume of normal saline. Two weeks after transplantation, urinary protein, urea nitrogen, creatinine levels were detected; hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for observing pathological changes of the renal tissue under microscope; and the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 was detected by immunohistochemistry method.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The levels of urinary protein, urea nitrogen and creatinine as well as the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 in the renal tissue arranged in descending order were listed as follows: model group > treatment group > control group, and there were significant differences among three groups (P < 0.05). In the model group, diffuse glomerular hyperplasia was observed with the presence of increased extracellular matrix, partial glomerular sclerosis, and interstitial infiltration of inflammatory cells; in the treatment group, glomerular hyperplasia, mesangial proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration were all mitigated compared with the model group. Therefore, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation may contribute to renal repair after mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, by inhibiting overexpression of transforming growth factor beta 1 in the kidney.中国组织工程研究杂志出版内容重点：干细胞；骨髓干细胞；造血干细胞；脂肪干细胞；肿瘤干细胞；胚胎干细胞；脐带脐血干细胞；干细胞诱导；干细胞分化；组织工程
