PG - 2541-2552 LID - 10.1002/cbin.11461 [doi] AB - Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) characterized by endothelial cell dysfunction is one of the serious complications after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation or chemotherapeutic drug application. The mortality of HVOD patients with multiorgan dysfunction is as high as 80%. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether the infusion of human umbilical cord-derived endothelial colony forming cells (hUC-ECFCs) could mitigate HVOD injury and investigate the underlying mechanism. We found that the expression of chemokine C-X-C chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) was markedly increased in the livers of HVOD mice. Meanwhile, hUC-ECFCs infusion could significantly ameliorate liver injury in HVOD mice, which was accompanied by hUC-ECFCs recruitment in the liver, reduced liver pathological alterations, and decreased serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activity. Besides, CXCL12-induced migration in hUC-ECFCs was partly impeded by chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7) silence or CXCR4 blockage. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that hUC-ECFCs could mitigate HVOD through homing to the injured liver via the CXCL12-CXCR4/CXCR7 signaling pathway.
