| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We newly established the well-differentiated liver cell line which has ammonia metabolism from human iPS cells. The metabolic detoxification ability is one of the highest specific liver functions, therefore, this cell line is thought to be the leading cell source at the time of clinical application of the artificial liver support system.
The ultimate hybrid artificial liver should be a “dropper type” rather than an extracorporeal type, therefore, we used the decellularized liver as a scaffold. Because of the vulnerability of the outer wall of the decellularized liver, the reinforcement using the “polyglycolic acid sheet + fibrin/thrombin solution” was performed. We succeeded the extracorporeal circulation for approximately one hour of rat decellularized liver. Using this experimental system, we evaluated the functions of the rat decellularized liver implanted with rat primary hepatocytes, and confirmed the high rate of ammonia metabolism.
