Chemically Induced CD24+ hepatocyte-derived liver progenitor-like cells revert chronic hepatic dysfunction


ABSTRACT: Administration of soluble molecules to induce endogenous adult liver progenitor-like cells may provide a clinically and effectively applicable approach for liver damage repair. Here, we report that HGF in combination with a cocktail of small molecules Y-27632, A-83-01, and CHIR99021 (HACY), which we have previously defined to convert mature hepatocytes (MHs) to liver progenitor-like cells (HepLPCs) in vitro, could induce the replenishment of endogenous HepLPCs and relieve chronic liver dysfunction during persistent injury. The liver progenitor cells surface marker, CD24, was found to be highly expressed in HepLPCs in vitro. Similarly, injection of HACY into mice with carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) treatment also induced conversion of mature hepatocytes to CD24+ progenitor-like cells in vivo, leading to the attenuation of liver fibrosis. Compared to the liver progenitor cells (LPCs) derived from nonparenchymal cells, HACY-induced CD24+ HepLPCs retained an increased hepatic function by RNA sequencing analysis and could promote restoration of liver function by replacing CCL4-impaired liver cells during chronic hepatic damages. And CD24+ liver stem cells could also be observed in human liver fibrosis tissues and expanded in 3D hepatic spheroid in the present of HACY. Together, the results of our study indicated that injection of a cocktail of HACY might be a valuable multiple targets therapy for patients with chronic liver fibrotic pathologies.
