The recovery of the injured livers was evaluated histologi- cally. The survival rate of experimental animals was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. RESULTS: hUCMSCs expressed high levels of CD29, CD73, CD13, CD105 and CD90, but did not express CD31, CD79b, CD133, CD34, and CD45. Cultured hUCMSCs displayed adip- ogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential. Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed that transplantation of hUCMSCs reduced hepatic necrosis and promoted liver regeneration. Transplantation of hUCMSCs prolonged the survival rate of mice with fulminant hepatic failure. Polymerase chain reaction for human alu sequences showed the presence of human cells in mouse livers. Positive staining for human albumin, human alpha-fetoprotein and human cytokeratin 18 suggested the for- mation of hUCMSCs-derived hepatocyte-like cells in vivo.CONCLUSIONS: hUCMSC was a potential candidate for stem cell based therapies. After transplantation, hUCMSCs partially repaired hepatic damage induced by GalN/LPS in mice. hUC- MSCs engrafted into the injured liver and differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells.展开更多
