Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It was revealed that the activation and differentiation of hepatic stellate cells were facilitated by the canine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. These alterations could be induced by the soluble factor secreted from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The differentiation and invasion abilities of canine hepatic carcinoma cells also were up-regulated by soluble factor secreted from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Moreover, mRNA expression levels of factors related to the tumor development were significantly higher in canine hepatic carcinoma cells co-cultured with soluble factor secreted from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. These findings suggest that soluble factors from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells promote the proliferation and invasion of canine hepatocellular carcinoma cells including tumor microenviroment.
