摘要
Aims: Toevaluate the effects of EPCs on liver injury in mice after HSCT. Methods: Mice received HSCT without or with EPCs infusion(HSCT+EPCs). Untreated mice were used as control. Liver and whole blood were collected post HSCT and used for the analysis of pathology of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells(LSECs) and hepatocytes, liver ultrastructure, function, level of IL-6, TNF-a and platelet activation. Results: Severe LSECs injury,hepatocyte damage, abnormal liver function was observed in HSCT group. In addition, increased P-selectin expression and secretion of IL-6, TNF-a was also found. However, all the above changes were alleviated in HSCT+EPCs at all the time points and normalized at the endpoint. Meanwhile, EPCs-induced repair of LSECs and hepatocytes was totally inhibited by the addition of anti-VE-cadherin antibody.Conclusions: EPCs infusion ameliorated the damage to LSECs and hepatocytes as well asreducedsecretion of IL-6, TNF-a and inhibited platelet activation after HSCT, leading to improved liver function, suggesting EPCsmight be a new therapeutic strategy in the prophylaxis of liver injury after HSCT.
