Проведен анализ динамики синтеза компонентов внеклеточного матрикса (гладкомышечного актина α и фибронектина) и основного активатора панкреатических звездчатых клеток (трансформирующего фактора роста β) в сыворотке крови пациентов с хроническим панкреатитом после клеточной терапии с использованием биомедицинского клеточного продукта на основе аллогенных ММСК. Показано, что ММСК способны подавлять продукцию профиброгенных компонентов в течение 1 года у пациентов с хроническим панкреатитом как при интраоперационном парапанкреатическом, так и при внутривенном введении биомедицинского клеточного продукта. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Cell therapy of chronic pancreatitis complications is a relevant strategy in regenerative medicine. However, the lack of research on the antifibrogenic effects of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) and the limited number of clinical trials leave many open questions regarding the mechanisms by which they regulate fibrogenesis. This article analyzes the dynamics of synthesis of extracellular matrix components (α smooth muscle actin and fibronectin) and of the principal activator of pancreatic stellate cells (transforming growth factor β) in the serum of patients with chronic pancreatitis after cell therapy based on biomedical cell product of allogeneic MMSCs administration. It has been shown that MMSCs were capable of suppressing the profibrogenic components production for 1 year in patients with chronic pancreatitis, both after intraoperative parapancreatic and after intravenous administration of biomedical cell product.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>хронический панкреатит</kwd><kwd>клеточная терапия</kwd><kwd>мультипотентные мезенхимальные стромальные клетки</kwd><kwd>фиброгенез</kwd><kwd>альфа-гладкомышечный актин</kwd><kwd>фибронектин</kwd><kwd>трансформирующий фактор роста бета</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>chronic pancreatitis</kwd><kwd>cell therapy</kwd><kwd>multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells</kwd><kwd>fibrogenesis</kwd><kwd>alpha-smooth muscle actin</kwd><kwd>fibronectin</kwd><kwd>transforming growth factor beta</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Pancreatic stellate cells and the targeted therapeutic strategies in chronic pancreatitis / M.
