摘要：

Background aims. Ischemic-type biliary lesions are severe, graft-threatening complications after orthotopic liver transplantation, and a novel and efficient therapeutic strategy is urgently needed. Due to the immunosuppressive and regenerative properties, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) could be an interesting candidate. Methods. We initiated safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord derived MSC (UC-MSC) transfusions for patients with ischemic-type biliary lesions after liver transplantation. From January 2013 to June 2014, 12 ischemic-type biliary lesions patients were recruited as the MSCs group in this phase I, prospective, single-center clinical study. Patients in this group received six doses of UC-MSCs (about 1.0 x 10(6) MSCs per kilogram body weight through peripheral intravenous infusion). The traditional therapeutic protocol was applied during October 2003 to December 2012 in 70 ischemic-type biliary lesions patients who were treated as the control group. Liver function tests, the need for interventional therapies and graft survival rate were chosen to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of MSC treatment. Adverse events were closely monitored up to 2 years after MSC transfusions. Results. No significant MSC-related adverse events were observed during the trial. Compared with baseline, the levels of total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase were decreased after UC-MSC treatment at week 20 and week 48. Interventional therapies were performed in 64.3% (45/70) of patients in the control group and 33.3% (4/12) of patients in the MSCs groups. MSC therapy significantly decreased the need for interventional therapies (P= 0.046). The 1- and 2-year graft survival rates were higher in the MSCs group (100% and 83.3%, respectively) than in the control group (72.9% and 68.6%, respectively). Conclusions. The UC-MSC transfusions are clinically safe and short-term favorable, which may become a novel treatment for patients with ischemic-type biliary lesions after liver transplantation.
