Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common disorder in men and lacks effective treatment. Stem cell (SC) possess the potential in self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation, and secrete a variety of active substances. Stem cell therapy, as a promising option for the treatment of ED, is a focus in regenerative medicine research. However, the effect of stem cell therapy alone on ED is limited due to the complexity of the condition and the limitations of SC. Gene modification can enhance the performance of SC in multiple aspects and play the role of targeted genes, and therefore can better improve ED and its related pathological changes than SC therapy alone. In recent years, gene-modified stem cell therapy has become a hotspot in andrological research. This review summarizes the advances in the studies of gene-modified SC in the treatment of ED, aiming to provide some ideas for further research.
勃起功能障碍(ED)是一种常见的男性疾病,缺乏有效的治疗方法。干细胞(SC)具有自我更新和多向分化的潜能,并能分泌多种活性物质。干细胞疗法作为治疗男性性功能障碍的一种有前景的选择,是再生医学研究的一个重点。然而,由于 ED 病情的复杂性和干细胞疗法的局限性,单纯的干细胞疗法对 ED 的治疗效果有限。基因修饰能从多方面提高干细胞的性能,发挥靶向基因的作用,因此比单纯的干细胞疗法能更好地改善ED及其相关病理改变。近年来,基因修饰干细胞疗法已成为生殖医学研究的热点。本综述总结了基因修饰干细胞治疗ED的研究进展,旨在为进一步的研究提供一些思路。
