Influence of combined transplantation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells and stellate liver cells on its morphofunctional state after partial hepatectomy

Abstract

The aimof the study was to study the changes in the morphofunctional state of the liver after the combined transplantation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal (MMSC) and stellate liver cells (ZCP) in animals with partial hepatectomy.Materials and methods.The MMSC culture was isolated from the placental chorion of 5 laboratory animals f female mice aged 3-4 months, weighing 22-23 g, gestation period of 18 days. The mononuclear fraction of the cells was obtained by sequential mechanical and enzymatic treatment of the placental tissue. The cultivation of MMSCs was carried out in a CO2 incubator at a temperature of 370C with a carbon dioxide content of 5% and a humidity of 90%. ZCP was isolated by collagenase-pronase perfusion of the liver, followed by cell separation in the histodense density gradient. MMSCs of the 3rd passage were introduced, and ZKP was introduced immediately after isolation. MMSCs at a dose of 4 million cells/kg and ZCP at a dose of 9 million cells/ kg were used for transplantation to labotory animals. The cells were injected 1 hour after partial hepatectomy. The biochemical parameters of peripheral blood and morphometric parameters of the liver were evaluated on the 3rd, 7th day after the administration of MMSC.Results.As a result of the study, it was found that the combined transplantation of MMSC and ZCP after partial hepatectomy leads to the restoration of the level of enzymes that characterize cytolysis and cholestasis, normalization of the protein-synthetic function of the liver, normalization morphometric parameters of the liver. A significant mechanism for restoring the morphofunctional state of the liver can be considered the influence of transplanted MMSCs and ZCP on the cell repair system, which leads to a decrease in the severity of programmed cell death of hepatocytes and the level of pathological mitoses.Discussion.Combined transplantation of MMSCs and HCP after partial hepatectomy leads to an increase in the level of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), thus contributing to an se in the mitotic activity of hepatocytes and the restoration of liver mass. The transplanted cells also, by increasing the activity of DNA repair enzymes of the PARP family, lead to a decrease in the level of pathological mitoses, inhibition of their programmed cell death.Conclusions.The conducted studies demonstrate the ability of combined MMSC and PCR transplantation to restore the morphofunctional state of the liver after partial hepatectomy and provide the basis for conducting pilot clinical studies
