Abstract

Phosphatase of regenerating liver-1 (PRL-1) controls various cellular processes and liver regeneration. However, the roles of PRL-1 in liver regeneration induced by chorionic-plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CP-MSCs) transplantation remain unknown. Here, we found that increased PRL-1 expression by CP-MSC transplantation enhanced liver regeneration in a bile duct ligation (BDL) rat model by promoting the migration and proliferation of hepatocytes. Engrafted CP-MSCs promoted liver function via enhanced hepatocyte proliferation through increased PRL-1 expression in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, higher increased expression of PRL-1 regulated CP-MSC migration into BDL-injured rat liver through enhancement of migration-related signals by increasing Rho family proteins. The dual effects of PRL-1 on proliferation of hepatocytes and migration of CP-MSCs were substantially reduced when PRL-1 was silenced with siRNA-PRL-1 treatment. These findings suggest that PRL-1 may serve as a multifunctional enhancer for therapeutic applications of CP-MSC transplantation.

Figure 7. A proposed model of CP‐MSC‐induced hepatic regeneration through regulation of PRL‐1 expression. Migration of transplanted CP‐MSCs to the damaged liver tissues was regulated by a PRL‐1‐mediated Rho family signaling pathway. Engrafted CP‐MSCs stimulated hepatic regenera‐ tion in damaged liver tissues through increased PRL‐1 expression and enhanced hepatic prolifera‐ tion. in damaged liver tissues through increased PRL-1 expression and enhanced hepatic proliferation.
