Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The characteristics of laminin that can promote the proliferation of stem cells have been widely concerned. OBJECTIVE: To review the interactions between laminin and many different stem cells, and provide reliable theoretical basis for chondrogenic research and application of stem cells. METHODS: Wanfang, CNKI, PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for articles related to mechanism of laminin, changes in stem cell behaviors, and cartilage regeneration published from January 2010 to October 2019. The retrieval terms were “laminin” and “steam cells” in Chinese and English. Duplicated and poorly related articles were excluded, and finally 57 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The structural characteristics of laminin were summarized. The spatiotemporal changes of laminin during cartilage development and degradation were analyzed. At the same time, the distribution of laminin expression in natural cartilage tissue and tissue engineered cartilage tissue was compared. (2) The effects of laminin on the proliferation of various stem cells, including embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and adult stem cells, were described. (3) The possible hotspots on the combination of laminin and stem cells for cartilage regeneration were proposed, with the attempt of providing theoretical basis for cartilage repair and regeneration in the future.
