Objective To explore the curative effectiveness of transplantation of bone marrow-derived liver stem cells (BDLSCs) transfected with rat interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene in the treatment of liver fibrosis in rats. Methods β2m-/Thy-1+BDLSCs isolated from Wistar rats were transfected with adenovirus-mediated rat IL-10 gene Wistar rats were subcutaneously injected with CCl4 to induce liver fibrosis, and randomly divided into three groups as follows: (1) the model group, infused with 1 ml normal saline (NS); (2) the BDLSC group, infused with NS containing untreated β2m-/Thy-1+BDLSCs (2×105 cells); (3) the IL-10 group, infused with NS containing β2m-/Thy-1+ BDLSCs transfected with IL-10 gene (2×105 cells). Infusion was done via the portal vein. Rats subcutaneously injected with olive oil served as control (the normal group). The BDLCs labeled with diamidine phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) in the liver were localized. Pathological changes and collagen area in liver tissues were observed. Liver function and blood blotting function were tested. Results β2m-/Thy-1+ BDLSCs labeled with DAPI were observed in liver tissues of rats. Significant pathological changes of liver tissues were observed in the model group. Compared with the model group, pathological changes were alleviated to some extent in the BDLSC group. The morphology of liver tissue in the IL-10 group was mostly close to that in the normal group. Collagen deposition of liver tissues was increased obviously in the model group. However, transplantations of untreated and IL-10-transfected BDLSCs both reduced collagen area. Compared with the BDLSC group, collagen deposition was significantly suppressed in the IL-10 group. Transplantation of IL-10-transfected BDLSCs suppressed obviously the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, TBIL, PT and APTT as compared with the model group (P<0. 05). The levels of ALT, TBIL, PT and APTT in the IL-10 group were significantly reduced to the normal levels as compared with those in the BDLSC group (P<0. 05).Conclusions Transplantation of BDLSCs transfected with rat IL-10 gene was effective in treating liver fibrosis in rats. This combined strategy of IL-10 gene and BDLSCs may represent a feasible, effective and safe therapy form for liver fibrosis.

BACKGROUND: Neural stem cells are always derived from animals, and unsuitable for human transplantation treatment. OBJECTIVE: To explore the in vitro culture methods of human embryonic striatum-derived neural stem cells, and to observe the biological characteristics. METHODS: The human embryonic striatum were separated from the embryo at a gestational age of 8-16 weeks that received induction of labor with water bag, and then the embryonic striatum was in vitro cultured in the serum-free Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium. The cells were passaged after neurospheres formation, and then the cells were induced to differentiation with the Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/F12 containing 10% fetal bovine serum. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The in vitro cultured human embryonic striatum-derived neural stem cells grew rapidly and could express nestin. Colony formation assay showed the cel clone formation rate was 6.0%-7.0%. 5-Bromodeoxyuridine incorporation assay showed the cel proliferation rate was 37.9%. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the cells after induction and differentiation could express Tuj-1, glial fibril ary acidic protein and nestin, but not express myelin basic protein. The results indicate that human embryonic striatum-derived neural stem cells cultured in the serum-free medium can maintain their biological characteristics and have self-renewal capacity, and the cells can differentiate into the neurons and astrocytes induced by the fetal bovine serum.
