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.

AbstractHepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 alpha (HNF4α) is critical for hepatic differentiation. Recent studies have highlighted its role in inhibition of hepatocyte proliferation and tumor suppression. However, the role of HNF4α in liver regeneration is not known. We hypothesized that hepatocytes modulate HNF4α activity when navigating between differentiated and proliferative states during liver regeneration. Western blot analysis revealed a rapid decline in nuclear and cytoplasmic HNF4α protein levels accompanied with decreased target gene expression within 1 hour after 2/3 partial hepatectomy (post-PH) in C57BL/6J mice. HNF4α protein expression did not recover to the pre-PH levels until day 3. Hepatocyte-specific deletion of HNF4α (HNF4α-KO) in mice resulted in 100% mortality post-PH despite increased proliferative marker expression throughout regeneration. Sustained loss of HNF4α target gene expression throughout regeneration indicated HNF4α-KO mice were unable to compensate for loss of HNF4α transcriptional activity. Deletion of HNF4α resulted in sustained proliferation accompanied by c-myc and cyclin D1 over expression and a complete deficiency of hepatocyte function after PH. Interestingly, overexpression of degradation-resistant HNF4α in hepatocytes did not prevent initiation of regeneration after PH. Finally, AAV8-mediated reexpression of HNF4α in hepatocytes of HNF4α-KO mice post-PH restored HNF4α protein levels, induced target gene expression and improved survival of HNF4α-KO mice post-PH. In conclusion, these data indicate that HNF4α reexpression following initial decrease is critical for hepatocytes to exit from cell cycle and resume function during the termination phase of liver regeneration. These results reveal the role of HNF4α in liver regeneration and have implications for therapy of liver failure.
