Background:

In recent years, the incidence rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) have increased significantly. Currently developed therapeutic approaches (e.g., pharmacotherapy) exhibit limited efficacy in the treatment of T2DM and OA, failing to fully restore joint function and pancreatic islet function. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated substantial potential in repairing cartilage damage, reducing blood glucose levels, and other related aspects.

Objective:

This review aims to evaluate whether MSC therapy represents a potential therapeutic strategy for T2DM complicated with OA.

Summary:

This review highlights the association between OA and T2DM and summarizes the applications of MSCs in the treatment of OA and T2DM, the potential mechanisms of MSCs, as well as relevant therapeutic strategies.

Conclusion:

MSC therapy may exert therapeutic effects in models of T2DM complicated with OA. This approach is expected to serve as an innovative and effective therapeutic method, promoting research on stromal cells and their applications. However, further studies are still required to verify its safety and feasibility.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their...

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...
