Stem Cells Transplantation

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive source for regenerative medicine because they are easily accessible through minimally invasive methods and have the potential to enhance liver regeneration (LG) and improve liver function, following partial hepatectomy (PH) and acute or chronic liver injury. A systematic review of the literature was conducted for articles published up to September 1st, 2016, using the MEDLINE database. The keywords that were used in various combinations were as follows: “Mesenchymal stem cells”, “transplantation”, “stem cells”, “adipose tissue derived stem cells”, “bone marrow-derived stem cells”, “partial hepatectomy”, “acute liver failure”, “chronic liver failure”, “liver fibrosis”, “liver cirrhosis”, “rats”, “mice”, and “liver regeneration”. All introduced keywords were searched for separately in MeSH Database to control relevance and terminological accuracy and validity. A total of 41 articles were identified for potential inclusion and reviewed in detail. After a strict selection process, a total of 28 articles were excluded, leaving 13 articles to form the basis of this systematic review. MSCs transplantation promoted LG and improved liver function. Furthermore, MSCs had the ability to differentiate in hepatocyte-like cells, increase survival, and protect hepatocytes by paracrine mechanisms. MSCs transplantation may provide beneficial effects in the process of LG after PH and acute or chronic liver injury. They may represent a new therapeutic option to treat posthepatectomy acute liver failure.

Abstract Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and human umbilical cord endothelial progenitor cells (UC-EPCs) have several benefits for liver regeneration. We speculate huge impacts of rat BM-MSCs and UC-EPCs on reversal of hepatic injury and improvement of liver function in liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Methods Forty adult rats were divided into 4 groups; control group, CCl4 group, CCl4/BM-MSCs group and CCl4/UCEPCs group. Blood samples were driven from rats at 1, 2 and 3months to measure serum concentration of albumin and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Quantitative expression of HGF,TGF-β, MMP-2, and VEGF were assessed by polymerase chain reaction. Histological examination of the liver tissue was performed. α-SMA immunohistochemistry to identify the myoepithelial cells (MECs) and Ki-67 to identify cell prolifration immunohistochemistry are detected in groups injected with cells to confirm cells regeneration. Results Regarding liver function, there was elevating albumin (P < 0.05) and reducing ALT (P < 0.05) concentrations in groups treated with BM-MSCs and UC-EPCs effect compared to untreated CCL4 group. Concerning gene expression, UC-EPCs treated group have significantly higher MMP-2 and VEGF (P < 0.01) genes expression than BM-MSCs treated group. Furthermore, UC-EPCs were more valuable than BM-MSCs in increasing gene expression of HGF (P < 0.05) and immunohistochemistry of α-SMA and Ki-67 (P < 0.01). BM-MSCs have significantly lower TGF- β (P < 0.00) compared to UC-EPCs. Conclusion This study highlighted on liver regeneration role of both human UC-EPCs and BM-MSCs in liver fibrosis by different signaling mechanistic.
