Hepatocyte transplantation attenuates the course of acute liver failure induced by thioacetamide in Lewis rats

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a clinical syndrome resulting from widespread damage of hepatocytes, with extremely high mortality rate. Urgent orthotopic liver transplantation was shown to be the most effective therapy for ALF but this treatment option is limited by scarcity of donor organs. Therefore, hepatocyte transplantation (Tx) has emerged as a new therapeutical measure for ALF, however, the first clinical applications proved unsatisfactory. Apparently, extensive preclinical studies are needed. Our aim was to examine if hepatocytes isolated from transgenic "firefly luciferase" Lewis rats into the recipient liver would attenuate the course of thioacetamide (TAA)-induced ALF in Lewis rats. Untreated Lewis rats after TAA administration showed a profound decrease in survival rate; no animal survived 54 h. The rats showed marked increases in plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities, in plasma level of bilirubin and ammonia (NH(3)), and in a significant decrease in plasma albumin. Hepatocyte Tx attenuated the course of TAA-induced ALF Lewis rats which was reflected by improved survival rate and reduced degree of liver injury showing as lowering of elevated plasma ALT, AST, NH(3) and bilirubin levels and increasing plasma albumin. In addition, bioluminescence imaging analyses have shown that in the TAA-damaged livers the transplanted hepatocyte were fully viable throughout the experiment. In conclusion, the results show that hepatocyte Tx into the liver can attenuate the course of TAA-induced ALF in Lewis rats. This information should be considered in attempts to develop new therapeutic approaches to the treatment of ALF.
