概括
自主造血干细胞移植 (aHSCT) 和循环胺 (CYC) 在全身性硬化症 (SSc) 中降低了皮肤加厚和内皮转介质转变 (EndMT). 与CYC相比,aHSCT对EndMT和纤维化有更明显的影响.
科学领域:
- 类风湿病学 类风湿病学
- 皮肤病学 皮肤病学
- 细胞生物学 细胞生物学
背景情况:
- 细胞衰老和内皮转介质转变 (EndMT) 是系统性硬化症 (SSc) 中的关键性益纤维化过程.
- 治疗对SSc中这些细胞通路的影响在很大程度上仍然未被描述.
研究的目的:
- 研究自身造血干细胞移植 (aHSCT) 和脉冲环胺 (IV CYC) 对分散皮肤SSc (dcSSc) 细胞衰老和EndMT的影响.
- 为了将治疗反应与特定的细胞标记物和组织病理学发现相关联.
主要方法:
- 在接受aHSCT或IV CYC治疗的dcSSc患者的皮肤活检在治疗前和治疗后6个月被分析.
- 组织病理学检查评估了纤维化,炎症,衰老,EndMT和组织重塑,包括PAR,P21和CTGF等标志物.
主要成果:
- 两种aHSCT和IV CYC治疗都导致皮肤加厚 (修改的罗丹皮肤评分) 和EndMT显著减少.
- 与IV CYC相比,aHSCT显示EndMT和纤维化标志物的下降更明显.
- 治疗反应不佳与CTGF和P21的特定基线水平以及治疗后这些标志物的变化有关.
结论:
- aHSCT和iv CYC有效降低dcSSc患者的皮肤纤维化和减弱EndMT.
- 虽然这两种治疗都影响了EndMT,但细胞衰老在两组之间没有显著改变.

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells
2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

iPS Cell Differentiation
2.6K
The ability of induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs to differentiate into most body cell types has stimulated repair and regenerative medicine research over the past few decades. iPSC-derived blood cells, hepatocytes, beta islet cells, cardiomyocytes, neurons, and other cell types can repair injuries or regenerate damaged tissue in diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells
2.5K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Replicative Cell Senescence
3.6K
Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while preventing excessive proliferation. Replicative senescence is associated with the gradual loss of the telomere — short, repetitive DNA sequences found at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres are bound by a group of proteins to form a protective cap on the ends of chromosomes. Embryonic stem cells express telomerase — an enzyme that adds...
