ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation in the treatment of hepatolenticular degeneration of liver fibrosis. Methods Sixty cases with confirmed hepatolenticular degeneration of liver fibrosis were randomly divided into 3 groups penicillamine group [40 mg/(kg·d)], BMSCs group and BMSCs + penicillamine group. Autologous BMSCs (2 mL) were injected into vein with normal saline (100 mL). Liver tissue pathology biopsy was inspected and the changes in HA, PCⅢ, LN, CⅣ, TIMP-1 and MMP-1 were observed at 0, 4th, 8th and 12th week during the therapeutic process. Results The level of serum fibrotic markers were reduced in every group , while the changes in BMSCs + penicillamine group were especially obvious (P < 0.05). Conclusion Penicillamine combined with BMSCs was effective in the therapy of hepatolenticular degeneration of liver fibrosis.
