Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cell (BMSC) Transplantation in Liver Cirrhosis Via Portal Vein

December 3, 2010 updated by: Sun Yat-sen University

Evaluation the Efficacy and Safety of Autologous Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) Transplantation in Patients With Early and Middle Stage of Liver Cirrhosis

The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation via portal vein in patients with early and middle stage of liver cirrhosis on the basis of HBV infection. The evaluation of the efficacy includes the level of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total bilirubin (TB),prothrombin time (PT), albumin (ALB), prealbumin(PA), precollagenⅢ(PCⅢ), collagenⅣ(Ⅳ-C), laminin(LN), hyaluronidase(HN), liver histological improvement before and 1 week to 1 year after transplantation. Child-Pugh scores and clinical symptoms were also observed simultaneously.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Group A(conserved therapy )
Thirty of the enrolled patients were randomly assigned to Group A were received comprehensive treatment including antiviral drugs, lowering aminotransferase and jaundice medicine.
Drug: Conserved therapy
Oral or intravenous administration
Experimental: Group B (BMSC Transplantion)
Thirty of the enrolled patients were randomly assigned to Group B were received comprehensive treatment including antiviral drugs, lowering aminotransferase and jaundice medicine, as well as Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells(BMSC) transplantation via portal vein.
Procedure: Autologous BMSCs transplantation
10 ml autologous BMSCs(7~8log10 cells/ml) were infused to patients using interventional method via portal vein as well as conserved therapy for group B.
