Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Stem cell transplantation can, in theory, rebuild the immune system and regulate immunologic function. In addition, the transplanted stem cells may differentiate into tissues or cells we want. Therefore, this intervention may restore gastrointestinal inflammatory lesion and exert therapeutic effect on inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

OBJECTIVE: To review the application of different kinds of stem cells in IBD treatment.
METHODS: A computer-based search of CNKI, PubMed and FMJS was performed for articles concerning stem cell transplantation and IBD published after January 2002. The key words were “stem cells, inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn’s diseases, ulcerative colitis, cell therapy” in Chinese and English respectively. At last, 49 articles were included in result analysis. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells both have certain therapeutic benefits in IBD. But which kind of stem cell is the safest and most efficacious cannot be confirmed, and at the same time the most effective and the optimal dose and way of transplantation of such cells are still unclear. All in all, there is still a lot of work to do to remove the obstacles.

Key words: Stem Cells, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Crohn Disease, Tissue Engineering
