Liver Progenitor Cells, Cancer Stem Cells and Hepatocellular Carcinoma
There is great interest in the biology of liver progenitor cells (LPCs) because of their stem cell-like ability to regenerate the liver when the hepatocyte pool is exhausted. Barely detectable in healthy tissue, they emerge upon chronic insult in periportal regions, proliferate and migrate to injury sites in the parenchyma and eventually differentiate into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes to rest...
متن کاملExpansion of Non-Enriched Cord Blood Stem/Progenitor Cells CD34+ CD38- Using Liver Cells
Many investigators have used xenogeneic, especially murine stromal cells and fetal calf serum to maintain and expand human stem cells. The proliferation and expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells in ex vivo culture were examined with the goal of generating a suitable protocol for expanding hematopoietic stem cells for patient transplantation. Using primary fetal liver cells, we established...
متن کاملInterleukin-22 ameliorates liver fibrosis through miR-200a/beta-catenin
IL-22 ameliorates liver fibrosis by inhibiting hepatic stellate cells (HSC), and loss of miR-200a is associated with the development of liver fibrosis. The study aimed to investigate the interplay between IL-22 and miR-200a in regulating liver fibrosis in vivo and in vitro. We observed that IL-22 significantly reduced the proliferation of HSC and increased the expression of p-STAT3. β-catenin w...
متن کاملRe-evaluation of liver stem/progenitor cells
Liver stem/progenitor cells (LPCs) are defined as cells that supply two types of liver epithelial cells, hepatocytes and cholangiocytes, during development, cellular turnover, and regeneration. Hepatoblasts, which are fetal LPCs derived from endoderm stem cells, robustly proliferate and differentiate into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes during fetal life. Between mid-gestation and the neonatal p...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 regulates hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells in the midgestation mouse fetal liver.
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic progenitors are generated in the yolk sac and aorta-gonad-mesonephros region during early mouse development. At embryonic day 10.5 the first hematopoietic stem cells emerge in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros. Subsequently, hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors are found in the fetal liver. The fetal liver is a potent hematopoietic site, playing an important role in the e...
