橫濱市立大學教授谷口英樹率領的研究小組，在對小耳癥患者切除的耳軟骨進行分析時發現，覆蓋耳軟骨的膜中存在一種特殊細胞，這一細胞具有發育為軟骨等組織的干細胞性質。 研究人員成功在試管中將這種軟骨干細胞培育為成熟軟骨細胞，然后將其移植到實驗鼠背部皮膚上，最后形成了軟骨。這種再生軟骨在實驗鼠身上維持了約10個月。 研究小組認為，利用這一成果，今后在治療鼻骨骨折、面部骨折等面部變形時，有望從患者耳中采集軟骨干細胞，進行軟骨細胞培養并移植到患者的腹部皮下脂肪，等軟骨細胞發育成一定程度大小的軟骨后，移植到患部。 研究人員計劃在獲得日本厚生勞動省批準后，最早明年開始臨床研究。 Reconstruction of human elastic cartilage by a CD44+ CD90+ stem cell in the ear perichondrium Kobayashi, Shinji; Takebe, Takanori; Inui, Midori; Iwai, Sayaka; Kan, Hiroomi; Zheng, Yun-Wen; Maegawa, Jiro; Taniguchi, Hideki Despite the great demands for treating craniofacial injuries or abnormalities, effective treatments are currently lacking.One promising approach involves human elastic cartilage reconstruction using autologous stem/progenitor populations. Nevertheless,definitive evidence of the presence of stem cells in human auricular cartilage remains to be established. Here, we demonstratethat human auricular perichondrium, which can be obtained via a minimally invasive approach, harbors a unique cell population,termed as cartilage stem/progenitor cells (CSPCs). The clonogenic progeny of a single CD44+ CD90+ CSPC displays a number of features characteristic of stem cells. Highly chondrogenic CSPCs were shown to reconstruct large(>2 cm) elastic cartilage after extended expansion and differentiation. CSPC-derived cartilage was encapsulated by a perichondriumlayer, which contains a CD44+ CD90+ self-renewing stem/progenitor population and was maintained without calcification or tumor formation even after 10 mo. Thisis a unique report demonstrating the presence of stem cells in auricular cartilage. Utilization of CSPCs will provide a promisingreconstructive material for treating craniofacial defects with successful long-term tissue restoration. |

日本研究人員8月8日在美國《國家科學院院刊》（PNAS）網絡版上發表論文說，他們在人耳中發現了可發育為軟骨的干細胞。
