摘要:

背景:沃顿胶体间充质干细胞是一类具有高度自我更新能力和多向分化潜能的围产期干细胞,具有增殖能力强,免疫原性低,来源丰富,易于采集和制备,无伦理争议等诸多优点。
目的:综述沃顿胶体间充质干细胞的生物学特性及在心血管领域的研究进展。
方法:以“沃顿胶体,脐带,间充质干细胞,Wharton’s jelly,umbilical cord,mesenchymal stem cell”为关键词应用计算机检索维普数据库和PubMed数据库的文章。所有选用的69篇文献均为相关性较强,并具有代表性和权威性,能及时准确反映和报道人脐带沃顿胶体间充质干细胞的生物学特性及在心血管领域研究的新进展。
结果与结论:沃顿胶体间充质干细胞不仅有与胚胎干细胞的相似性,而且还保持着骨髓间充质干细胞的特性,其细胞形态与其强大的增殖、迁移、分化功能相适应。沃顿胶体间充质干细胞表达更多的与血管生成和生长相关的基因,更适于治疗缺血性病变及减轻纤维化和瘢痕形成。沃顿胶体间充质干细胞在细胞治疗上具有巨大的潜能,它们既不诱发肿瘤也不在移植时发生排斥反应。但是,目前在沃顿胶体间充质干细胞的分离、体外培养、体内生长和分化以及临床应用等方面仍存在许多亟待进一步解决的问题。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells are one type of perinatal stem cells which are capable of self-renewal and multi-differentiation. They are characterized by strong proliferative capability, low immunogenicity, abundant source, ease of production in industry, and free of ethical restriction.
OBJECTIVE: To review the biological characteristics of Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells and the application in cardiovascular disease treatment.
METHODS: A computer-based online retrieval of Weipu database and PubMed database was performed to search papers using the key words “Wharton’s jelly, umbilical cord, mesenchymal stem cell" both in Chinese and English. All included 69 papers can accurately reflect and describe the biological characteristics of Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells and the application in cardiovascular disease treatment. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells bear a striking resemblance to embryonic stem cells while maintaining the properties of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. In addition, the morphology of Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells fits itself for the strong capacities for proliferation, migration and differentiation. Furthermore, Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells, which express more angiogenesis- and growth-related genes, are more suitable to treating ischemic lesions and reducing fibrosis and scarring. Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells, being hypoimmunogenic and non-tumorigenic, have the potential for safe cell-based therapies. However, there have been still some problems to be solved in the research of Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells, such as cell isolation, culture in vitro, grow/differentiation in vivo and clinical applications.
