Aberrant Metaplastic Biliary Phenotype Acquired by the Transplanted Hepatocytes in Bilharzial and non Bilharzial Hamsters Spleens
Background: Hepatocytes transplantation (HCTx) is an alternative method to orthotopic liver transplantation used in treatment of several liver injuries. It can be used either fresh or as encapsulated hepatocytes. Expression of Hep Par 1, CK7 and Albumin were performed to identify and analyze the transplanted isolated adult hepatocytes in hamsters spleens. Aim: This work aimed to study the expre...
متن کاملRevisiting Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Liver Fibrosis: Clues for a Better Understanding of the “Reactive” Biliary Epithelial Phenotype
Whether liver epithelial cells contribute to the development of hepatic scarring by undergoing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a controversial issue. Herein, we revisit the concept of EMT in cholangiopathies, a group of severe hepatic disorders primarily targeting the bile duct epithelial cell (cholangiocyte), leading to progressive portal fibrosis, the main determinant of liver d...
متن کاملPeribiliary myofibroblasts in biliary type liver fibrosis.
Biliary type liver fibrosis develops as part of the wound healing response to bile duct injury in chronic cholestatic liver diseases. The origin of myofibroblasts accumulating together with extracellular matrix around proliferating bile duct structures (referred to as ductular reaction) in the setting of cholestatic injury, has been investigated mostly in the rat bile duct ligation model. Evide...
متن کاملMurine embryonic stem cell-derived hepatocytes correct metabolic liver disease after serial liver repopulation.
Although embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived hepatocytes have the capacity for liver engraftment and repopulation, their in vivo hepatic function has not been analyzed yet. We aimed to determine the metabolic function and therapeutic action of ES cell-derived hepatocytes after serial liver repopulations in fumaryl acetoacetate hydrolase knockout (Fah(-/-)) mice. Albumin expressing (Alb(+)) cells w...
متن کاملAnimal Models Of Liver Cirrhosis And Fibrosis
Animal modeling is a crucial necessity in clinical studies of liver diseases. Authenticity of the data which are produced using this tool under different conditions and accuracy of the analyses and assessments which would be based on such data sets is completely dependent on the adoption of a standardized methodology for analyzes and assessment of these data sets. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis are amo...
