BACKGROUND AIMS: Cirrhosis is the 11th leading cause of death worldwide. Because of the limitations of liver transplantation, cell- and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-based therapies are considered potential treatment methods. This work analyzes the effectiveness of cell- and G-CSF-based therapies by network meta-analysis.
METHODS: A literature search was performed in four databases from inception to September 10, 2021. Registered randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating cell-based therapies and/or G-CSF-based therapies for cirrhosis patients were included. Traditional and network meta-analyses were analyzed in terms of survival, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score, alanine aminotransferase levels and aspartate aminotransferase levels.
RESULTS: Twenty-four studies were included in this analysis. The results showed that G-CSF-based therapies (odds ratio [OR], 2.38, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.49-3.79, P < 0.01) and cell-based therapies (OR, 1.54, 95% CI, 1.00-2.40, P = 0.048) improved the transplantation-free survival rate compared with standard medical treatment. Network analysis results showed that G-CSF combined with erythropoietin (EPO) and growth hormone (GH) had a therapeutic advantage, and cell-based therapy with mononuclear cell (MNC) hepatic artery injection and intravenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) combined with G-CSF also had a relative advantage in terms of survival outcome. For the MELD score, G-CSF plus GH and MSC portal vein injection had relative advantages. G-CSF plus GH and G-CSF plus EPO had advantages in terms of CTP scores. The included strategies demonstrated no obvious improvement in liver injury indicators.
CONCLUSIONS: Cell-based therapy has potential therapeutic effects for liver cirrhosis. Among cell-based therapies, intravenous MSCs and hepatic artery injection of MNCs have advantageous therapeutic effects. The use of G-CSF was also noted in regimens that improved survival outcomes. However, more well-designed, large-scale RCTs are needed to confirm this conclusion.
