Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Encapsulated cell therapy might be a promising approach to enable cell transplantation without immunosuppression. This study investigates the viability and hepatic function of hepatocytes encapsulated with alginate/poly-L-lysine in vitro and the effect of the intrasplenic transplantation of cultured encapsulated hepatocytes on survival in 90% hepatectomized rats as a preliminary step toward allogeneic hepatocyte transplantation without immunosuppression. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Rat hepatocytes were isolated and encapsulated using alginate/poly-L-lysine. Encapsulated hepatocytes were cultured for 28 days to measure cell viability, liver function, and morphology. Rats were treated with a 90% partial hepatectomy and then immediately underwent the intrasplenic transplantation of the cultured encapsulated hepatocytes, the capsule alone, or the allogeneic hepatocytes without the capsule. The survival rate, liver function, and cell morphology were assessed after transplantation. RESULTS:The cultured encapsulated hepatocytes maintained their viability and showed better metabolic activity than day 0 cultured encapsulated hepatocytes. The encapsulated cells strongly expressed albumin and were positive for periodic acid-Schiff staining. Electron microscopy demonstrated that the microencapsulated hepatocytes retained the structural elements of hepatic cytoplasm and nuclei. Intrasplenic transplantation of the encapsulated hepatocytes increased the survival rate and improved the hepatic function. Encapsulated hepatocytes transplanted into rat spleen survived well and retained their hepatic function. Moreover, dramatic liver regeneration was observed 48 hr after transplantation in the group that received intrasplenic transplantations of encapsulated hepatocytes. CONCLUSIONS:The intrasplenic transplantation of cultured encapsulated hepatocytes improved the survival rate of an acute liver failure rat model induced by a 90% partial hepatectomy.

TRANSPLANTATION文献大全abstract::As a consequence of its large volume, a microencapsulated islet graft can be implanted only into the peritoneal cavity. The graft volume can be reduced by using small capsules. However, reduction of the diameter of the capsules holds a certain risk, because with smaller capsules, more islets may be found to protrude f...
