Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have shown that mesenchymal stem cells administered via portal vein is effective in terms of amelioration of ischemia-reperfusion injury. We also established the technique with which we can extract exosome from supernatant of culture media of MSCs. Exosome from MSCs was shown to have immuno-moduratory effect and suppress immunological reaction between allogeneic cells. In order to evaluate the effect of exosome we esbalished rat liver transplantation model. The tentative results showed that the exosome have a potential to improve rat survival after partial liver transplantation.
