Résumé

Liver fibrosis is a common pathological process of chronic liver disease, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been found to have potential therapy effect on liver fibrosis, but the mechanism involved was still unclear. The objective of this study is to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) on the treatment of liver fibrosis, with particular emphasis on elucidating the underlying mechanism of action through which ADMSCs inhibit the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). ADMSCs were isolated from adipose tissue and injected intravenously into hepatic fibrosis model of rats. The histopathological changes, liver function, collagen deposition, the expression of fibroin and Hippo pathway were evaluated. In vitro, ADMSCs were co-cultured with HSCs activated by transforming growth factor beta The results showed that after the transplantation of ADMSCs, the liver function of rats was improved, the degree of liver fibrosis and collagen deposition were reduced, and the Hippo signaling pathway was activated. In vitro, ADMSCs can effectively inhibit the proliferation and activation of HSCs induced by TGF-β ADMSCs inhibit HSCs activation by regulating YAP/TAZ, thereby promoting functional recovery after liver fibrosis. These findings lay a foundation for further investigation into the precise mechanism by which ADMSCs alleviate liver fibrosis.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Liver fibrosis is a common pathological process of chronic liver disease, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been found to have potential therapy effect on liver fibrosis, but the mechanism involved was still unclear. The objective of this study is to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) on the treatment of liver fibrosis, with particular emphasis on elucidating the underlying mechanism of action through which ADMSCs inhibit the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).
METHODS METHODS
ADMSCs were isolated from adipose tissue and injected intravenously into hepatic fibrosis model of rats. The histopathological changes, liver function, collagen deposition, the expression of fibroin and Hippo pathway were evaluated. In vitro, ADMSCs were co-cultured with HSCs activated by transforming growth factor beta
RESULTS RESULTS
The results showed that after the transplantation of ADMSCs, the liver function of rats was improved, the degree of liver fibrosis and collagen deposition were reduced, and the Hippo signaling pathway was activated. In vitro, ADMSCs can effectively inhibit the proliferation and activation of HSCs induced by TGF-β
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
ADMSCs inhibit HSCs activation by regulating YAP/TAZ, thereby promoting functional recovery after liver fibrosis. These findings lay a foundation for further investigation into the precise mechanism by which ADMSCs alleviate liver fibrosis.
