肝卵圆细胞与肝脏疾病

肝卵圆细胞(Ｈｅｐａｔｉｃｏｖａｌｃｅｌｌ,ＨＯＣ)是在慢性肝病患者的肝脏中出现的一种具有多分化潜能的原始细胞,可分化为过渡细胞小肝细胞和成熟肝细胞,也可向胆管细胞分化[１,２]。ＨＯＣ参与了肝组织的再生,与肝肿瘤的发生有密切的关系。下面就ＨＯＣ与慢性肝病和肝肿瘤的关系作一综述。     

肝脏再生过程中干细胞分化调控机制的研究进展

肝干细胞属于专能干细胞,为肝内胆管系统源性具有多分化潜的细胞群。肝干细胞既可以向肝细胞分化,又可以向胆管细胞分化,是肝脏组织再生的"种子细胞"。自体肝干细胞移植不会发生免疫排斥,故肝脏干细胞移植理论上可以成为终末期肝病细胞治疗的理想来源,有效解决肝脏供体严重缺乏的临床现状。本文就肝干细胞的生物学特性及其在肝脏损伤再生中的作用及调控机制综述如下。     

肝脏再生的分子机制

肝再生模型有两种。其一为部分肝切除，须切除75％以上才有再生效应；另一为CCl4的中毒性肝损伤。两者的肝再生的基本步骤相仿，但效应启动时间有差异。某些中毒性肝损伤有细胞因子与干细胞参与，干细胞受激活分化为肝细胞，而部分肝切除无这些变化。     

肝干细胞的研究进展与临床应用

干细胞是指在适当的条件下 ,具有无限自我复制、自我更新以及全能或多能分化能力的细胞群 ,可以分化成多种细胞系并形成各种具有明确功能的组织、器官 ,是形成器官和组织的基础细胞。干细胞分为胚性干细胞和存在于各种组织中的干细胞 ,能在培养液中不断分裂 ,发育成功能各异的细胞 ,如肌肉细胞、神经细胞、心肌细胞、血细胞和其他种类的细胞。一般认为只有取自胚胎的干细胞才有分化成为不同组织的潜力 ,而成年人体内特定部位的干细胞只能发育成为特定组织。干细胞不仅是胚胎细胞必要的组成部分 ,在大多数成熟个体的组织器官中也发现了一定数…

肝卵圆细胞分子标志物的研究进展

肝干细胞是一类具有自我更新与增殖分化能力的细胞,能产生表现型与基因型和自己完全相同的子细胞.起源于前肠内胚层,在胚胎发育过程中以肝细胞的形式存在,在成年哺乳动物肝中以小卵圆细胞存在,表现为核大而胞质小并具有特殊的细胞标记.正常情况下这类细胞处于静止期,增生分裂非常慢.当切除或药物损伤后,这类细胞开始活化增生,迅速从静止期进入增殖期.近年来的研究已经证实,肝卵圆细胞在肝细胞严重受损和分裂增生受抑制时呈现出向肝细胞和胆管上皮细胞双向分化的潜能,是一种肝脏的干细胞,目前已经成为热点.肝卵圆细胞不仅在急慢性肝功能不良、晚期肝硬化等肝脏病变,在胰腺病变引起的糖尿病等疾病研究中也开始引起兴趣.但如何发现和获得肝卵圆细胞始终是解决此类问题的关键.本文就肝卵圆细胞的分子标志物的研究进展作一综述.

Differentiation of rat bone marrow stem cells in liver after partial hepatectomy

AIM: To investigate the differentiation of rat bone marrow stem cells in liver after partial hepatectomy. METHODS: Bone marrow cells were collected from the tibia of rat with partial hepatectomy, the medial and left hepatic lobes were excised. The bone marrow stem cells (Thy CD3-CD45RA- cells) were enriched from the bone marrow cells by depleting red cells and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The sorted bone marrow stem cells were labeled by PKH26-GL in vitro and autotransplanted by portal vein injection. After 2 wk, the transplanted bone marrow stem cells in liver were examined by the immunohistochemistry of albumin (hepatocyte-specific marker). RESULTS: The bone marrow stem cells (Thy CD3-CD45RA- cells) accounted for 2.8% of bone marrow cells without red cells. The labeling rate of 10μM PKH26-GL on sorted bone marrow stem cells was about 95%. There were sporadic PKH26-GL-labeled cells among he-patocytes in liver tissue section, and some of the cells expressed albumin. CONCLUSION: Rat bone marrow stem cells can differentiate into hepatocytes in regenerative environment and may participate in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy.

Liver structural transformation after partial hepatectomy and repeated partial hepatectomy in rats: A renewed view on liver regeneration

BACKGROUND The phenomenon of liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy(PH) is still a subject of considerable interest due to the increasing frequency of half liver transplantation on the one hand, and on the other hand, new surgical approaches which allow removal of massive space-occupying hepatic tumors, which earlier was considered as inoperable. Interestingly, the mechanisms of liver regeneration are extensively studied after PH but less attention is paid to the architectonics of the regenerated organ. Because of this, the question "How does the structure of regenerated liver differ from normal, regular liver?" has not been fully answered yet. Furthermore, almost without any attention is left the liver's structural transformation after repeated hepatectomy(of the re-regenereted liver).To compare the architectonics of the lobules and circulatory bed of normal, regenerated and re-regenerated livers.METHODS The livers of 40 adult, male, albino Wistar rats were studied. 14 rats were subjected to PH-the 1st study group(SG_1); 10 rats underwent repeated PH – the 2nd study group(SG2); 16 rats were subjected to sham operation-control group(CG); The livers were studied after 9 months from PH, and after 6 months from repeated PH. Cytological(Schiff reaction for the determination of DNA concentration), histological(HE, Masson trichrome, CK8 Immunohistochemical marker, transparent slides after Indian Ink injection,), morphometrical(hepatocytes areas, perimeters and ploidy) and Electron Microscopical(Scanning Electron Microscopy of corrosion casts) methods were used.RESULTS In the SG_1 and SG_2, the area of hepatocytes and their perimeter are increased compared to the CG(P 0.05). However, the areas and perimeters of the hepatocytes of the SG_1 and SG_2 groups reveal a lesser difference. In regenerated(SG_1) and re-regenerated(SG_2) livers, the hepatocytes form the remodeled lobules, which size(300-1200 μm) exceeds the sizes of the lobules from CG(300-600 μm). The remodeled lobules(especially the "mega-lobules" with the sizes 1000-1200 μm) contain the transformed meshworks of the sinusoids, the part of which is dilated asymmetrically. This meshwork might have originated from the several portal venules(interlobular and/or inlet). The boundaries between the adjacent lobules(including mega-lobules) are widened and filled by connective tissue fibers, which gives the liver parenchyma a nodular look. In SG_2 the unevenness of sinusoid diameters, as well as the boundaries between the lobules(including the mega-lobules) are more vividly expressed in comparison with SG_1. The liver tissue of both SG_1 and SG_2 is featured by the slightly expressed ductular reaction.CONCLUSION Regenerated and re-regenerated livers in comparison with normal liver contain hypertrophied hepatocytes with increased ploidy which together with transformed sinusoidal and biliary meshworks form the remodeled lobulli.

Expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy

AIM：To study the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme （TACE） and evaluate its significance in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in vivo.
METHODS： Male SD rats underwent 70% partial hepatectomy. The remaining liver and spleen tissue samples were collected at indicated time points after hepatectomy. TACE expression was investigated by Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and serial section immunostaining.
RESULTS： Expression of TACE in liver and spleen tissues after partial hepatectomy was a time-dependent alteration, reaching a maximal level between 24 and 48 h and remaining elevated for more than 168 h. TACE protein was localized to mononuclear cells （MNC）, which infiltrated the liver from the spleen after hepatectomy. The kinetics of TACE expression was in accordance with the number of TACE-staining MNCs and synchronized with those of transforming growth factor-α （TGFα）. In addition, TACE-staining MNC partially overlapped with CD3^＋ T lymphocytes.
CONCLUSION： TACE may be involved in liver regeneration by pathway mediated with TGFα-EGFR in the cellcycle progressive phase in vivo. TACE production and effect by paracrine may be a pathway of involvement in liver regeneration for the activated CD3^＋ T lymphocytes.     

Expressed genes in regenerating rat liver after partial hepatectomy

AIM: To reveal the liver regeneration (LR) and its control as well as the occurrence of liver disease and to study the gene expression profiles of 551 genes after partial hepatectomy (PH) in regenerating rat livers. METHODS: Five hundred and fifty-one expressed sequence tags screened by suppression subtractive hybridization were made into an in-house cDNA microarray, and the expressive genes and their expressive profiles in regenerating rat livers were analyzed by microarray and bioinformatics. RESULTS: Three hundred of the analyzed 551 genes were up- or downregulated more than twofolds at one or more time points during LR. Most of the genes were up- or downregulated 2-5 folds, but the highest reached 90 folds of the control. One hundred and thirty-nine of them showed upregulation, 135 displayed downregulation, and up or down expression of 26 genes revealed a dependence on regenerating livers. The genes expressed in 24-h regenerating livers were much more than those in the others. Cluster analysis and generalization analysis showed that there were at least six distinct temporal patterns of gene expression in the. regenerating livers, that is, genes were expressed in the immediate early phase, early phase, intermediate phase, early-late phase, late phase, terminal phase. CONCLUSION: In LR, the number of down-regulated genes was almost similar to that of the upregulated genes; the successively altered genes were more than the rapidly transient genes. The temporal patterns of gene expression were similar 2 and 4 h, 12 and 16 h, 48 and 96 h, 72 and 144 h after PH. Microarray combined with suppressive subtractive hybridization can effectively identify the genes related to LR.
