Abstract

Liver transplantation is currently the only option for patients with end-stage liver disease. Thus, other alternate therapeutic strategies are needed. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are nonhematopoietic cells present in the bone marrow stroma that serve as precursors cells for various other cells. In this study, we evaluated the differentiation of porcine BM-MSCs into hepatocyte-like cells using three types of culture systems: hepatic induction medium (HIM), HIM/primary hepatocyte culture supernatant (HCS; 1:1 ratio), and a hepatocyte coculture system (HCCS; primary hepatocytes in the upper chamber, and BM-MSCs in the lower chamber). Primary hepatocytes were isolated from anesthetized healthy 1-month-old pigs by enzymatic digestion. Hepatic-specific marker expression (albumin [ALB], transferrin [TF], α-fetoprotein [AFP]), glycogen storage, low-density lipoprotein, and indocyanine green uptake were evaluated. Upregulation of hepatic-specific markers (ALB, TF, and AFP) was observed by real-time polymerase chain reaction in the HCCS group. Periodic acid-Schiff staining revealed enhanced glycogen storage in hepatocyte-like cells from the HCCS group compared with that from the HIM/HCS group. Furthermore, hepatocyte lik...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
