Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are life-threatening diseases in critically ill patients. Although pathophysiology of ALI/ARDS has been investigated in many studies, effective therapeutic strategies are still limited. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy is emerging as a promising therapeutic intervention for patients with ALI. During the last two decades, researchers have focused on the efficacy and mechanism of MSC application in ALI animal models. MSC derived from variant resources exhibited therapeutic effects in preclinical studies of ALI with different mechanisms. Based on this, clinical studies on MSC treatment in ALI/ARDS has been tried recently, especially in COVID-19 caused lung injury. Emerging clinical trials of MSCs in treating COVID-19-related conditions have been registered in past two years. The advantages and potential of MSCs in the defense against COVID-19-related ALI or ARDS have been confirmed. This review provides a brief overview of recent research progress in MSC-based therapies in preclinical study and clinical trials in ALI treatment, as well as the underlying mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Cell and Tissue Banking provides a forum for disseminating information to scientists and clinicians involved in the banking and transplantation of cells and tissues. Cell and Tissue Banking is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original papers in the following areas:
basic research concerning general aspects of tissue banking such as quality assurance and control of banked cells/tissues, effects of preservation and sterilisation methods on cells/tissues, biotechnology, etc.; clinical applications of banked cells/tissues; standards of practice in procurement, processing, storage and distribution of cells/tissues; ethical issues; medico-legal issues.
