Effects of Chinese medicine on proliferation, differentiation and aging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells regulating ischemia-hypoxia microenvironment / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Traditional Chinese medicine has certain value and significance in the treatment of ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by regulating the ischemia-hypoxia microenvironment and improving the survival rate and differentiation rate of stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To sort out and analyze the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine on regulating ischemia-hypoxia microenvironment intervention on proliferation, differentiation, aging and autophagy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in recent years. METHODS: The full-text database of Chinese journals, PubMed and Wanfang were retrieved with the keywords of “bone mesenchymal stem cells, ischemia-hypoxia microenvironment, proliferation, differentiation, aging” in English or “bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, ischemia and hypoxia, proliferation, differentiation, aging” in Chinese for articles regarding effects of ischemia and hypoxia microenvironment on survival rate and differentiation rate of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells published from 2002 to 2019. Fifty-five articles were selected for review, including 22 Chinese articles and 33 English articles. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The ischemia-hypoxia microenvironment is the important reason for the low survival rate and differentiation rate of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. There are many adverse reactions in the intervention of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with gene modification or cell molecules and drugs, which have become difficult problems to be solved in modern medicine. Exploring the internal relationship between microenvironment and stem cells using single or active components of traditional Chinese medicine combined with RNA transcriptomics is a new way to improve the viability of stem cells.
