摘要
We describe our preclinical studies on the use of bone-marrow stromal cells (MSC; an uncharacterised mixed population of plastic-adherent cells) in the treatment of neural injury. These cells obtained from donor rats or human beings have been directly transplanted into brain or administered intra-arterially or intravenously. MSC selectively target injured tissue and promote functional recovery. Signals that target inflammatory cells to injured tissue probably direct MSC to injury sites. Although some MSC express proteins typical of neural cells, the possibility that benefit is derived by replacement of infarcted tissue with differentiated MSC is highly unlikely. MSC activate endogenous restorative responses in injured brain, which include angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and synaptogenesis. Given the robust therapeutic benefit of these cells in the treatment of experimental neural injury, and the fact that MSC have been used in the treatment of other human disease, there is justification for further preclinical studies leading to clinical trials for the treatment of neural injury such as stroke.
