An In Vitro Human Liver Model by iPSC-Derived Parenchymal and Non-parenchymal Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
During liver development, hepatoblasts and liver non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) such as liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) constitute the liver bud where they proliferate and differentiate. Accordingly, we reasoned that liver NPCs would support the maturation of hepatocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), which usually exhibit limited functions. We found that the transforming growth factor β and Rho signaling pathways, respectively, regulated the proliferation and maturation of LSEC and HSC progenitors isolated from mouse fetal livers. Based on these results, we have established culture systems to generate LSECs and HSCs from hiPSCs. These hiPSC-derived NPCs exhibited distinctive phenotypes and promoted self-renewal of hiPSC-derived liver progenitor cells (LPCs) over the long term in the two-dimensional culture system without exogenous cytokines and hepatic maturation of hiPSC-derived LPCs. Thus, a functional human liver model can be constructed in vitro from the LPCs, LSECs, and HSCs derived from hiPSCs.

Isolation and Phenotyping of Normal Mouse Liver Dendritic Cells by an Improved Method
Introduction Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived cells, which migrate to lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs via blood. Liver DCs are believed to play an important role in the regulation of hepatic allograft acceptance. However, because of inherent difficulties in isolating adequate numbers of DCs from liver, limited information is available on the phenotype and functions of liver DCs. ...

متن کاملRole of hepatic non-parenchymal cells in the response of rat hepatocytes to the peroxisome proliferator nafenopin in vitro.
Induction of liver cancer by peroxisome proliferators such as nafenopin is frequently associated with increased liver growth, increased DNA synthesis and suppression of apoptosis. The cytokine, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), and non-parenchymal liver cells have been implicated in mediating the hepatic response to peroxisome proliferators. Here, we have investigated the dependency of ...
متن کاملAll-In-One: Advanced preparation of Human Parenchymal and Non-Parenchymal Liver Cells
BACKGROUND & AIMS Liver cells are key players in innate immunity. Thus, studying primary isolated liver cells is necessary for determining their role in liver physiology and pathophysiology. In particular, the quantity and quality of isolated cells are crucial to their function. Our aim was to isolate a large quantity of high-quality human parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells from a single liv...
