Abstract

A whole-organ regeneration approach, using a decellularised xenogeneic liver as a scaffold for the construction of a transplantable liver was recently reported. Deriving suitable scaffolds was the first step towards clinical application; however, effective recellularisation remains to be achieved. This report presents a strategy for the improvement of the recellularisation process, using novel cell-seeding technique and cell source. We evaluated recellularised liver grafts repopulated through the portal vein or the biliary duct with mice adult hepatocytes or E14.5 foetal hepatocytes. More than 80% of the cells seeded through the biliary tree entered the parenchyma beyond the ductule-lining matrix barrier and distributed throughout the liver lobule. In contrast, about 20% of the cells seeded through the portal tree entered the parenchyma. The gene expression levels of foetal hepatocyte albumin, glucose 6-phosphatase, transferrin, cytokeratin 19, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were increased in three-dimensional cultures in the native liver-derived scaffolds, and the activation of liver detoxification enzymes and formation of biliary duct-like structures were supported. The metabolic functions of liver grafts recellularised with different cell types were similar. These results suggest that biliary tree cell-seeding approach is promising, and that liver progenitor cells represent a good cell source candidate.

  • Perfusion crosslinking via both portal vein and bile duct is beneficial for distributing NGOs evenly throughout dECM scaffolds.

    “perfusion crosslinking via both portal vein and bile duct was beneficial for distributing NGOs evenly throughout dECM scaffolds, according to the previous report27.”

    From Bioengineered liver crosslinked with nano-graphene oxide enables efficient liver regeneration via MMP suppression and immunomodulation (2023) · cites this paper as [27]

    The Results section on seeding routes (page unavailable) compares portal-vein and bile-duct delivery into decellularised liver scaffolds, but finds substantially better parenchymal distribution after bile-duct seeding. The Discussion suggests multiple routes may help arrange cells spatially; neither section evaluates perfusion crosslinking or the even distribution of NGOs. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Organ-specific cell-ECM communication enhanced maturation of reseeded fetal hepatocytes within decellularized rat livers into both hepatocyte and cholangiocyte lineages, without addition of pro-differentiation signals during 7 days of dynamic perfusion.

    “Additionally, Ogiso et al. showed the presence of organ-specific cell–ECM communication that enhanced the maturation of reseeded fetal hepatocytes within decellularized rat livers into both hepatocyte and cholangiocyte lineages, without the addition of any pro-differentiation signals into the culture media during 7 days of dynamic perfusion [217].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
