中文摘要： 输注间充质干细胞(MSCs)治疗溃疡性结肠炎(UC)显示出诱人前景，然而存在MSCs归巢不足等瓶颈问题，因此如何促进MSCs向UC肠道归巢，并放大其对炎症局部免疫调节作用，是MSCs治疗UC亟待解决的两个核心问题。现已知SDF-1/CXCR4信号轴决定MSCs归巢能力,IL-35是近年发现调控Treg分化、具有免疫抑制功能的重要细胞因子。前期研究已构建CXCR4、IL-35转染的MSCs并能高表达CXCR4、IL-35，并发现上调CXCR4可促进MSCs向UC肠道归巢。基于此我们设计：对MSCs进行联合基因修饰使其过表达CXCR4和IL-35，上调CXCR4并采用清热燥湿凉血方协同增加MSCs向UC肠道靶向归巢，归巢的MSCs在炎症局部高表达IL-35，发挥免疫调节及修复功能，从而放大MSCs的治疗作用。本研究将为临床有效利用 MSCs及清热燥湿凉血方治疗UC提供理论依据。

英文摘要： Infusion of MSCs to treat ulcerative colitis has shown attractive prospect. However, insufficient homing of MSCs reduces its efficacy. So promoting homing of MSCs and enlarge its immunomodulatory effects on inflammatory topical focus are two core issues to be solved in the MSCs treatment of ulcerative colitis. Previous studies have suggested that the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis plays an important role in the regulation of homing of MSCs. IL-35 is an important cytokine that can regulate the differentiation of Treg and has function of immune suppression. Preliminary studies have been successfully constructed CXCR4, IL-35-transfected MSCs and could stably express CXCR4 and IL-35. Upregulating the expression of CXCR4 could promote MSCs homing to inflammatory colon. Based on this we designed: To make MSCs overexpress CXCR4 and IL-35 by joint genetically modifying. And use Qingrezaoshiliangxue formula to synergistically promote MSCs homing to inflamed intestinal tract. Thus MSCs could high express IL-35 in inflammatory topical focus and exert immunomodulatory and repair function. And the therapeutic effect of MSCs will be amplified. This study will provide a theoretical reference for effective use of MSCs and Qingrezaoshiliangxue formula to treat UC.
