ApoE Treatment for Osteogenesis Imperfecta
- 詳細技術說明
- Clinicians at Nationwide Children's Hospital have found that Apolipoprotein E can be used as a treatment for Osteogenesis Imperfecta without the issues related to mesenchymal stem/stromal cell therapy.
- *Abstract
-
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by bones that break from little to no apparent cause. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) therapy has been found to effectively treat bone growth impairment in OI, but these treatments are not consistently effective and have safety concerns. Clinicians at Nationwide Children's Hospital have found that MSC treatment induces release of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) into the serum, which then stimulates chondrocyte proliferation in the growth plate. This demonstrates that ApoE can be used as a treatment for OI, without the issues related to MSC therapy.
