| Research Abstract |
CD34 expression is alteration by condition of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). And we demonstrated HSC mobilization from bone marrow (BM) to peripheral blood (PB) via disruption between c-kit and SCF as the mechanism. However, it was not known that PB cells mobilized by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) can differentiate Into hepatocytes. We tested the hypothesis by transplanting a clonal population of PB cell mobilized by G-CSF and HSC in BM can be mobilized into hepatic injury to induce to repopulate hepatocytes. C57BL6 female-mice were conditioned with intraperitoneal retrorsine injection and CCL before PB transplantation. We prepared single lineage-Sca-1+ c-kit+ CD34+ PB cell sorted from transgenic enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) male-mice injected with G-CSF. And then we transplanted single PB Into the each mouse with hepatic injury through spleen. Markers for Y chromosome, GFP-antigen were used to identify liver cells of PB origin. Liver was examined 2 months later. Single Lin-Sca-1+ c-kit+ CD34+ PB cell from G-CSF-treated mice generated liver cells. In the next experiment, we first transplanted single Lin-Sca-1+ c-kit+ CD34-BM cell from EGFP male donor mice into lethally irradiated B6 female mice. Two months later, transplanted single EGFP+ HSC reconstituted hematopoiesis. The mice were treated with retrorsine-CCL protocol and finally G-CSF was administered. EGFP+ HSC in BM were recruited to the injured liver by G-CSF and generated liver cells. These data demonstrate that G-CSF can mobilize HSC from BM into PB without losing the capability to differentiate to liver cells and strongly suggest that HSC alone have capacity to effect the self-repair of injured livers.
