1 Future of stem cell therapy in liver disease Domenico ALVARO, MD Sapienza, University of Rome, Italy AISF, 17 th Pre Meeting Future Scenarios in Hepatology,

2 CELL THERAPY and LIVER DISEASES The cell therapy for treatment of liver diseases is the object of extensive investigations Targets: 1. Liver cirrhosis 2. Acute Liver Failure, Acute on Chronic 3. Congenital/metabolic diseases

3 CELL THERAPY and LIVER DISEASES Issues and problems to be addressed - Cell sources - Route of cell administration - Homing and liver engraftment of administered cells - Immunogenicity - Tracking in vivo the infused cells - Cryopreservation - Teratogenesis and cancerogenesis

4 CELL THERAPY and LIVER DISEASES Cell Sources: Adult cells: Hepatocytes Stem-cells: 1. Embrionic stem cells 2. Fetal stem cells 3. Adult hepatic stem cells 4. Mesenchymal stem cells 5. Amniotic fluid-derived stem cells 6. Induced pluripotent stem cells

5 Required liver replacement by transpl. Hep. > 5%! Discouraging results! In general, only short-term benefits! Replacement level < 1% in clinical hepatocyte There is need for another transplantation since : Current indications source of congenital/metabolic cells! diseases (urea cycle defects, Crigler-Najjar..)! A. most donor hepatocytes cleared.! B. Total proliferation 34 pts treated of surviving donor cells not observed! (22OLT, functional transient improvement)

6 The main features of stem cells (Potten et al. ) 1. Self-renewal; 2. Indefinite proliferative capacity; 3. Production of large number of differentiate progeny; 4. Ability of regenerating injured tissues; 5. Low immunogenicity, scarce rejection.

7 CELL THERAPY and LIVER DISEASES Cell Sources: Adult Hepatocytes Stem/progenitor-cells: 1. Embrionic stem cells 2. Fetal stem cells 3. Adult hepatic stem cells 4. Mesenchymal stem cells 5. Amniotic fluid-derived stem cells 6. Induced pluripotent stem cells (ips)

8 Menstrual blood derived Fetal/adult Hepatic progenitors Fetal/adult stem cells Ethical. Teratoma risk!

9 CELL THERAPY and LIVER DISEASES Cell Sources: Adult cells: Hepatocytes Stem-cells: 1. Embrionic stem cells 2. Fetal stem cells 3. Adult hepatic stem cells 4. Mesenchymal stem cells 5. Amniotic fluid-derived stem cells 6. Induced pluripotent stem cells

14 Currently, the paracrine effects of MSCs in liver regeneration are widely recognized and research is focusing on the soluble factors reprogramming (change of potential) involved! rather than differentiation(expression of potential)!

23 CELL THERAPY and LIVER DISEASES Issues and problems to be addressed - Cell sources - Route of cell administration - Homing and liver engraftment of administered cells - Immunogenicity - Teratogenesis and cancerogenesis - Cryopreservation - Tracking in vivo the infused cells

24 CELL THERAPY and LIVER DISEASES Route of cell administration - Hepatic artery, Portal vein, Splenic Artery, Intrasplenic, Peripheral vein, Others??? * Portal vein cell spreading outside the liver via collateral veins; cells into hepatic sinudoids * Hepatic artery.cell in portal spaces *Complications (emboli portal vein > hepatic artery) Administration through the hepatic artery safer than the portal vein route (reviewed in Lanzoni G. et al. Stem Cells. 2013; 31(10): ).

25 CELL THERAPY and LIVER DISEASES Issues and problems to be addressed - Cell sources - Route of cell administration - Immunogenicity - Homing and liver engraftment of administered cells - Teratogenesis and cancerogenesis - Cryopreservation - Tracking in vivo the infused cells

26 Low or null Immunogenicity of BTSCs (Riccio M. et al. J. Hepatol. 2014)

27 T-Cells apoptosis in hbtscs/t-cells co-cultures (Riccio M. et al. J. Hepatol. 2014). hbtscs are able to modulate the immune response playing an active role in the interactions with microenvironment that promotes their expansion, proliferation and differentiation. Live confocal imaging of hbtscs- T-Cells double labelled with anti-cd4/ AnnexinV or anti-cd8/annexinv. White arrowheads indicate CD4+/annexinV+ T cells; yellow arrowheads indicate CD8+/annexinV+ T cells.
