Reconstitution Properties of Thymus Stem Cells in Murine Fetal Liver
Injection of day-12 murine fetal liver cells into thymus lobes of Thy-1 congenic adult recipients results in a wave of thymocyte development. The kinetics of repopulation by donor cells reaches a peak after 20-25 days. The frequency of thymic stem cells (TSC) in day-12 fetal liver was estimated, by limit dilution, as 1 in 4 x 10(4) cells. Within 8 hr of injection into a thymus lobe, fetal liver...
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 کاملEffect of Transplanted Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Liver Functions in Experimental Liver Fibrosis in Rats
Liver failure is a potentially life-threatening condition for which organ transplantation is the only definitive therapy. The idea of stem cells suggests the probability of renewable sources of new tissues to treat many kinds of diseases, conditions, and disabilities. The present study aims to investigate the effect of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on liver functions and degree of ...
متن کاملLiver Cancer Stem Cells
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary malignancy of the liver in adults. It is also the fifth most common solid cancer worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Recent research supports that liver cancer is a disease of adult stem cells. From the models of experimental hepatocarcinogenesis, there may be at least three distinct cell lineages with progenitor pro...
متن کاملAutophagy-Modulated Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Accelerate Liver Restoration in Mouse Models of Acute Liver Failure
Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recently received increasing attention for cell-based therapy, especially in regenerative medicine. However, the low survival rate of these cells restricts their therapeutic applications. It is hypothesized that autophagy might play an important role in cellular homeostasis and survival. This study aims to investigate the regenerative potentia...
