Cd133+ Cell Infusion in Patients With Colorectal Liver Metastases.

ABSTRACT: Treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma is surgical resection. Only 10-15% of the patients will be candidates for curative resection. After response to chemotherapy this figure rises 10-13% more. To perform the surgery it is necessary to have a sufficient remnant liver volume (RLV), which allows maintaining optimal liver function after resection. If the estimated RLV is insufficient preoperatively, portal venous embolization site (PVE) is performed for compensatory hypertrophy, thus increasing the number of resections 19%. Still, in 20% of these patients surgery can not be performed because RLV is not achieved or because the disease progresses while waiting for growth. Therefore, it is necessary to improve liver regeneration without promoting tumor growth. Studies on liver regeneration, have determined that cells (CD133 +) are involved in the liver hypertrophy that occurs after hepatectomy. CD133 + have been used to induce liver hypertrophy with encouraging results. This population of CD133 +, can be selected from peripheral blood after stimulation with Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), being able to obtain a large number of them. The investigators propose to treat patients who do not meet criteria for surgery because of insufficient volume <40%, with CD133 + and portal embolization in order to carry out a surgical resection in a second place.

Project description:Following parenchymal loss, the liver regenerates restoring normal mass and metabolic function. Prevailing theories on triggering events leading to regeneration include humoral, metabolic and flow-mediated mechanisms, the latter emphasizing the importance of shear stress mediated nitric oxide (NO) regulation. We aimed to investigate whether the grade of resection and hence the portal venous pressure and sinusoidal shear stress increase, would be reflected in the gene expression profiles in the liver remnant by employing a global porcine cDNA microarray chip with approximately 23 000 genes represented. Six pig livers were resected with 62% (Low Portal Pressure Resection, LPPR) and 75% (High Portal Pressure Resection) resulting in a portal venous pressure increase from a baseline of 6.1 mmHg to 8.2 and 12 mmHg respectively. By sampling consecutive biopsies from the liver remnants we found differentially expressed genes in the HPPR group to have functions related primarily to apoptosis, nitric oxide metabolism and oxidative stress, whereas differentially expressed genes in the LPPR group potentially regulate the cell cycle. Common to both groups was the upregulation of genes regulating inflammation, transport, cell proliferation and development and protein metabolism. Also common to both groups was both up- and downregulation of genes regulating cell-cell signaling, signal transduction, cell adhesion and translation. Genes regulating the metabolism of lipids, hormones, amines, and alcohol were downregulated in both groups. Conclusions: The genetic regenerative response in the liver remnant to varies according to the level of resection. Keywords: time course, treatment comparison Three pigs underwent a 62% liver resection (low-pressure resection, LPR) and three underwent a 75% resection (high-pressure resection, HPR). Biopsies from the liver remnant were taken from all animals at time points 1, 30, 90, minutes and 3, 4 and 6 hours after resection. Expression profiling was conducted by hybridising each sample against a common reference, consisting of liver RNA from an unrelated animal.
