Differentiation of bone marrow stem cells into hepatocytes and their curative roles in liver fibrosis have gained increasing popularity recently. However, further investigation has shown a opposite idea that the bone marrow stem cells don't have this ability. Some researchers have proposed that bone marrow stem cells can differentiate into stellate cells or fibroblasts, hence serving as a participator of hepatic fibrosis. This article aims to review the role of bone marrow cells in hepatic fibrosis.
Petersen et al[10]于1999年最早提出大鼠骨髓干细胞中的某个细胞群体具有转化成为肝卵圆细胞, 并能够进一步分化为肝细胞和胆管上皮细胞的潜能. Theise et al[11]对临床移植男性骨髓的女性患者和移植女性肝脏的男性患者的肝脏标本进行研究发现: 约4%-43%的肝细胞和4%-38%的胆管细胞来源于骨髓干细胞的横向分化, 并且他们发现这种骨髓来源的细胞最多的是1例肝移植后再发丙肝的患者. 对此其他的研究者在他们的研究中也有相同的发现[12-16], 并且Idilman et al[13]认为髓源性的肝细胞出现在肝脏损伤的过程的早期.
