膝关节骨性关节炎间充质干细胞治疗方案

目前针对膝关节骨性关节炎,推荐使用低剂量间充质干细胞(约2500万个细胞)进行关节内注射,每次治疗一剂,可根据临床反应考虑6-12个月后重复治疗。1

剂量建议

  • 低剂量(少于3000万个细胞)比高剂量更有效,研究显示在疼痛评分和功能改善方面有更好的效果1
  • 临床研究中常用剂量为2500万至4000万个细胞2, 3
  • 单次注射剂量通常不超过4×10^6/kg体重,以避免血栓形成风险4

给药频次

  • 通常采用单次关节内注射,根据临床反应可在6-12个月后考虑重复治疗3
  • 大多数临床研究采用单次注射方案,随访观察至少12个月2, 5
  • 美国骨科医师学会(AAOS)指出目前尚无标准化的给药频次方案6, 7

细胞来源选择

  • 脂肪来源的间充质干细胞(AT-MSCs)在临床研究中表现出更好的疗效1
  • 骨髓来源的间充质干细胞也被广泛应用,但可能需要更大量的取材5
  • 脐带来源的干细胞也是可选择的来源1

安全性注意事项

  • 间充质干细胞治疗总体安全性良好,不良反应发生率与对照组无显著差异8
  • 应避免使用冷冻保存的细胞,因其可能导致更多不良事件4
  • 治疗前应进行干细胞产品的血液相容性测试4
  • 在使用高剂量细胞时,可考虑使用低剂量抗凝剂如肝素,以控制免疫介导的血液反应4

临床应用限制

  • 美国风湿病学会(ACR)和关节炎基金会(AF)目前强烈反对在膝关节骨性关节炎中常规使用干细胞注射治疗4
  • 美国骨科医师学会(AAOS)强调,目前尚无MSCs治疗骨关节炎的FDA批准7
  • 干细胞制剂的异质性和缺乏标准化是临床应用的主要障碍4

治疗效果评估

  • 治疗后应使用视觉模拟评分量表(VAS)和西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数(WOMAC)评估疼痛和功能改善8, 1
  • 可通过MRI T2图像评估软骨质量变化2
  • 治疗后患者通常在6-12个月内达到65-78%的功能改善2
