Research Abstract |
We used Long Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rats as recipients, a model of Wilson disease and liver carcinogenesis. GFP-expressing BMCs were injected into newborn LEC rats through the spleen. At 18 months after injection, we found some green fluorescent protein-expressing areas macroscopically in the liver of treated LEC rats. The oxidative activity of ceruloplasmin increased. Moreover, we confirmed that the BMDHs were generated by cell fusion and was not detected in any of the neoplastic lesions or cholngiofibrotic regions. Our results suggest that this novel strategy for creating BMDHs is effective and safe.
