摘要:The incidence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis-related liver cirrhosis is increasing. We used a steatohepatitis murine model fed a choline-deficient, l -amino acid-defined (CDAA) diet with a single injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) to evaluate the efficacy of trans-portal hepatic infusion of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for liver fibrosis, liver steatosis, and oxidative stress. Mice were fed a CDAA diet and injected with a single intraperitoneal dose of CCl 4 (0.5 ml/kg) after 4 weeks of CDAA diet. After 12 weeks of CDAA diet, 1 × 10 6 luciferase-positive syngeneic BMSCs (Luc-BMSCs) were infused into the animal spleen. An in vivo imaging system was used to confirm Luc-BMSC accumulation in the liver via the portal vein, and at 4 weeks after infusion, we compared liver fibrosis, liver steatosis, and oxidative stress. After the BMSC-infusion, serum albumin and serum total bilirubin were significantly improved. Liver fibrosis assessed by Sirius red staining, α-smooth muscle actin protein, and collagen 1A1 mRNA expression was significantly suppressed. Furthermore, liver steatosis area was significantly lower, the 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine-positive cells were significantly fewer, and superoxide dismutase 2 protein expression of the liver was significantly increased. In conclusion, our data confirmed the efficacy of trans-portal hepatic infusion of BMSCs in a steatohepatitis murine model.
