Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a prevalent source for stem cell therapy and play a crucial role in modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by the accumulation of triglycerides in liver cells and involves immune system activation, leading to histological changes, tissue damage, and clinical symptoms. A recent publication by Jiang , highlighted the potential of MSCs to mitigate in NAFLD progression by targeting various molecular pathways, including glycolipid metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and fibrosis. In this editorial, we comment on their research and discuss the efficacy of MSC therapy in treating NAFLD.
间充质干细胞(MSCs)是干细胞治疗的常见来源,在调节先天性和适应性免疫反应中发挥关键作用。非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)的特征是肝细胞中甘油三酯的积累,并涉及免疫系统激活,导致组织学变化、组织损伤和临床症状。蒋等人最近发表的一篇文章强调了间充质干细胞通过靶向各种分子途径(包括糖脂代谢、炎症、氧化应激、内质网应激和纤维化)来减轻NAFLD进展的潜力。在这篇社论中,我们对他们的研究进行评论,并讨论间充质干细胞疗法在治疗NAFLD中的疗效。
