Composition containing mesenchymal stem cells and vitamins and application thereof in tissue repair
Technical Field
The invention relates to a composition containing mesenchymal stem cells and vitamins and application thereof in tissue repair, belonging to the field of medicine.
Background
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), which are non-hematopoietic stem cells having various differentiation potential, have attracted considerable interest to experts in the field of stem cell therapy and are considered as potential tools for cell regeneration therapy because they are easily isolated from bone marrow, adipose tissue, synovium, periostium, teeth, placenta, umbilical cord, etc., and have high differentiation potential, nutritional activity, immunoregulatory properties, and a huge donor pool. Nevertheless, the source and decontamination procedure of MSCs remains crucial for their therapeutic potential, and standardization of the optimal MSCs isolation procedure undoubtedly contributes to their optimal clinical use. MSCs, in their particular context, not only differentiate into multiple cell lineages, but also have immunosuppressive potency that makes them successful in allogeneic transplantation. In addition, the MSCs have the characteristics of actively tending to inflammatory or tumor tissues, promoting angiogenesis and the like in vivo, and have the advantages of easy separation, culture and amplification, easy transfection and stable expression by exogenous genes and the like in vitro.
Although stem cells always show good prospects in treatment of many diseases, current researches show that the detection rate ratio of transplanted MSCs in target tissues is low, and the repair effect of the MSCs on the target organ tissues is seriously influenced. This may be associated with colonization of MSCs in the target tissue, but a low proportion of MSCs that migrate through the blood vessels to the target tissue and colonize (i.e., home to) is a more important factor. Thus, improving the homing of MSCs to the target organs is critical for the treatment of disease by MSCs. Generally, MSCs are clinically used by infusion routes including vein transplantation, artery transplantation, and local transplantation. The homing rate of vein transplantation is low, but the method is high in safety. The homing rate of arterial grafts is significantly higher than that of venous grafts, but arterial grafts increase the probability of arteriolar occlusion. Local transplantation, although capable of injecting MSCs directly into the target organ, is associated with a high risk in clinical use, and local MSCs often die due to ischemia and malnutrition before they are therapeutically effective.
Liver cirrhosis is the terminal manifestation of various chronic liver diseases, and is characterized by liver fibroplasia and pseudolobule, at the moment, a large amount of normal liver cells are damaged and destroyed, the number of liver parenchymal cells is reduced, and when the damage of the liver exceeds the compensation function of the liver, the liver is seriously deficient in various functions of synthesis, storage, detoxification, immunity and the like, and then a series of corresponding clinical symptoms and manifestations are generated, so that the health of people is seriously threatened. Research and exploration in the stem cell field enable MSCs with the advantages of wide sources, weak immunogenicity, strong proliferation and differentiation capacity and the like to show attractive clinical application values in the aspect of treating end-stage liver diseases, and are expected to bring breakthrough to the treatment of related end-stage liver diseases.
However, in addition to the above-mentioned problem of low homing rate after transplantation, induced differentiation of stem cells after homing presents a problem in the application of MSCs to the treatment of cirrhosis. It has been shown that MSCs differentiate into myofibroblasts after transplantation into an individual, leading to collagen deposition, thus exacerbating liver fibrosis and leading to an increased disease status of the individual. Therefore, how to provide the homing rate of the target organ and induce its differentiation into the target tissue cell is an urgent technical problem to be solved in the art.

It is well known in the art that ALB and AFP are protein markers for the transformation of mesenchymal stem cells into hepatocyte-like cells, and GFAP is a marker for the transformation into hepatic stellate cells; in vivo stellate cells form myofibroblasts by transdifferentiation, which in turn leads to liver fibrosis. Therefore, the stem cells are induced to be transformed into liver-like cells, and the transformation of the stem cells into stellate cells is inhibited. The results show that the added components of the composition can better induce the transformation of the stem cells to the liver-like cells and inhibit the transformation of the stem cells to the stellate cells; although conventional inducers in the art can induce transformation of liver-like cells, a certain proportion of the cells are transformed into stellate cells, which may be an important reason why conventional stem cell compositions cannot perform therapeutic functions in vivo.
