August 2020 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” The study investigated the therapeutic potential of SIRT1-modified human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) for treating peritoneal fibrosis, a complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis. By overexpressing SIRT1, these modified cells showed a stronger anti-fibrosis effect compared to regular hUCMSCs by significantly inhibiting fibrotic gene expression, suppressing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, increasing ultrafiltration volume, and restoring the balance of bioincompatible factors in dialysis solutions. The mechanism involved reducing peritoneal inflammation and inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway. The study involved 8 rats per group and demonstrated that SIRT1-modified hUCMSCs could be a promising therapeutic strategy for peritoneal dialysis-induced peritoneal damage and fibrosis.
