Abstract
Primary hepatocytes are widely used as a tool for studying metabolic function and regulation in the liver. However, the metabolic properties of primary hepatocytes are gradually lost after isolation. Here, we illustrated that fatty acid metabolism is the major compromised metabolic process in isolated primary hepatocytes, along with drastically decreased GSH and ROS content, while lipid peroxidation is increased. Gain- and loss-of-function studies revealed that Slc7a11 expression is critical in maintaining fatty acid metabolism and facilitating hormone-induced fatty acid metabolic events, which is synergistic with dexamethasone treatment. Intriguingly, Slc7a11 expression and dexamethasone treatment cooperatively upregulated AKT and AMPK signaling and mitochondrial complex expression in primary hepatocytes. Furthermore, direct treatment with reduced GSH or inhibition of ferroptosis is sufficient to drive protective effects on fatty acid metabolism in primary hepatocytes. Our results demonstrate that Slc7a11 expression in isolated primary hepatocytes induces GSH production, which protects against ferroptosis, to increase fatty acid metabolic gene expression, AKT and AMPK signaling and mitochondrial function in synergy with dexamethasone treatment, thereby efficiently preserving primary hepatocyte metabolic signatures, thus providing a promising approach to better reserve primary hepatocyte metabolic activities after isolation to potentially improve the understanding of liver biological functions from studies using primary hepatocytes.

Manufacturing and Functional Characterization of Bioengineered Liver Grafts for Extracorporeal Liver Assistance in Acute Liver Failure. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1201. [PMID: 37892931 PMCID: PMC10604724 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10101201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute Liver Failure (ALF) is a life-threatening illness characterized by the rapid onset of abnormal liver biochemistries, coagulopathy, and the development of hepatic encephalopathy. Extracorporeal bioengineered liver (BEL) grafts could offer a bridge therapy to transplant or recovery. The present study describes the manufacture of clinical scale BELs created from decellularized porcine-derived liver extracellular matrix seeded entirely with human cells: human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and primary human liver cells (PHLCs). Decellularized scaffolds seeded entirely with human cells were shown to adhere to stringent sterility and safety guidelines and demonstrated increased functionality when compared to grafts seeded with primary porcine liver cells (PPLCs). BELs with PHLCs were able to clear more ammonia than PPLCs and demonstrated lower perfusion pressures during patency testing. Additionally, to determine the full therapeutic potential of BELs seeded with PHLCs, longer culture periods were assessed to address the logistical constraints associated with manufacturing and transporting a product to a patient. The fully humanized BELs were able to retain their function after cold storage simulating a product transport period. Therefore, this study demonstrates the manufacture of bioengineered liver grafts and their potential in the clinical setting as a treatment for ALF.

Abstract
Decellularization of organs creates an acellular scaffold, ideal for being repopulated by cells. In this work, a low-cost perfusion system was created to be used in the process of liver decellularization and as a bioreactor after recellularization. It consists of a glass chamber to house the organ coupled to a peristaltic pump to promote liquid flow through the organ vascular tree. The rats' liver decellularization was made with a solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The recellularization was made with 108 mesenchymal stromal/stem cells and cultivated for seven days. The decellularized matrices showed an absence of DNA while preserving the collagen and glycosaminoglycans quantities, confirming the efficiency of the process. The functional analyses showed a rise in lactate dehydrogenase levels occurring in the first days of the cultivation, suggesting that there is cell death in this period, which stabilized on the seventh day. Histological analysis showed conservation of the collagen web and some groups of cells next to the vessels. It was possible to establish a system for decellularization and a bioreactor to use for the recellularization method. It is easy to assemble, can be ready to use in little time and be easily sterilized.

Abstract
End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is a term used clinically in reference to a group of liver diseases with liver transplantation as the choice of treatment. Due to the limitations of liver transplantation, alternative treatments are needed. The use of primary human hepatocytes represents a valid alternative treatment, but the limitations related to hepatocyte quality, viability, function, conservation, and storage need to be overcome. Transplanted hepatocytes have only been followed for 6–9 months. Therefore, long-term causes of failures are not yet established, including rejection, apoptosis, or other causes. Other alternative therapies to replace liver transplantation include plasmapheresis, hemodiafiltration, and artificial livers. Unfortunately, these methods are highly limited due to availability, high cost, anaphylaxis reaction, development-deposition of immune-complexes, and restricted functionality. Liver organoids, which utilize stem cells instead of ‘impractical’ adult hepatocytes, may be a solution for the development of a complex bioartificial liver. Recent studies have explored the benefits of differentiating mature hepatocytes from stem cells inside a bioreactor. When the use of human-induced Hepatocytes (hiHeps) was investigated in mouse and pig models of liver failure, liver failure markers were decreased, hepatocyte function indicated by albumin synthesis improved, and survival time increased. Bioartificial liver treatment may decrease the infiltration of inflammatory cells into liver tissue by down-regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The process of liver organogenesis has served as a paradigm for organ formation. However, there remains a lack of understanding regarding early mouse and human liver bud morphogenesis and early liver volumetric growth. Elucidating dynamic changes in liver volumes is critical for understanding organ development, implementing toxicological studies, and for modeling hPSC-derived liver organoid growth. New visualization, analysis, and experimental techniques are desperately needed. RESULTS Here, we combine observational data with digital resources, new 3D imaging approaches, retrospective analysis of liver volume data, mathematical modeling, and experiments with hPSC-derived liver organoids. Mouse and human liver organogenesis, characterized by exponential growth, demonstrate distinct spatial features and growth curves over time, which we mathematically modeled using Gompertz models. Visualization of liver-epithelial and septum transversum mesenchyme (STM) interactions suggests extended interactions, which together with new spatial features may be responsible for extensive exponential growth. These STM interactions are modeled with a novel in vitro human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived hepatic organoid system that exhibits cell migration. CONCLUSIONS Our methods enhance our understanding of liver organogenesis, with new 3D visualization, analysis, mathematical modeling, and in vitro models with hPSCs. Our approach highlights mouse and human differences and provides potential hypothesis for further investigation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The liver is in charge of more than 500 functions in the human body, which any damage and failure to the liver can significantly compromise human life. Numerous studies are being carried out in regenerative medicine, as a potential driving force, toward alleviating the need for liver donors and fabrication of a 3D-engineered transplantable hepatic tissue. Liver tissue engineering brings three main factors of cells, extracellular matrix (ECM), and signaling molecules together, while each of these three factors tries to mimic the physiological state of the tissue to direct tissue regeneration. Signaling molecules play a crucial role in directing tissue fabrication in liver tissue engineering. When mimicking the natural in vivo process of regeneration, it is tightly associated with three main phases of differentiation, proliferation (progression), and tissue maturation through vascularization while directing each of these phases is highly regulated by the specific signaling molecules. The understanding of how these signaling molecules guide the dynamic behavior of regeneration would be a tool for further tailoring of bioengineered systems to help the liver regeneration with many cellular, molecular, and tissue-level functions. Hence, the signaling molecules come to aid all these phases for further improvements toward the clinical use of liver tissue engineering as the goal.

Abstract
The field of organoid engineering promises to revolutionize medicine with wide-ranging applications of scientific, engineering, and clinical interest, including precision and personalized medicine, gene editing, drug development, disease modelling, cellular therapy, and human development. Organoids are a three-dimensional (3D) miniature representation of a target organ, are initiated with stem/progenitor cells, and are extremely promising tools with which to model organ function. The biological basis for organoids is that they foster stem cell self-renewal, differentiation, and self-organization, recapitulating 3D tissue structure or function better than two-dimensional (2D) systems. In this review, we first discuss the importance of epithelial organs and the general properties of epithelial cells to provide a context and rationale for organoids of the liver, pancreas, and gall bladder. Next, we develop a general framework to understand self-organization, tissue hierarchy, and organoid cultivation. For each of these areas, we provide a historical context, and review a wide range of both biological and mathematical perspectives that enhance understanding of organoids. Next, we review existing techniques and progress in hepatobiliary and pancreatic organoid engineering. To do this, we review organoids from primary tissues, cell lines, and stem cells, and introduce engineering studies when applicable. We discuss non-invasive assessment of organoids, which can reveal the underlying biological mechanisms and enable improved assays for growth, metabolism, and function. Applications of organoids in cell therapy are also discussed. Taken together, we establish a broad scientific foundation for organoids and provide an in-depth review of hepatic, biliary and pancreatic organoids.

Abstract
The hepatocytes were cultivated in the presence of lithium carbonate (LC) for drugs testing or possible source for transplantation in the treatment of hereditary or terminal liver diseases. The LC, as an inducer of autophagy, is a promising drug for maintaining cell homeostasis and has a significant effect on the ultrastructural organization of hepatocyte cells. Within current investigation, new mechanisms of the biological effects of lithium and the ultrastructural analysis of the primary culture of hepatocytes were studied via flow cytofluorometry, light, and electron microscopy methods. Obtained results demonstrate the absence of the toxic effect of 5 mM of LC on the primary hepatocyte culture. In addition, LC does not block the cell cycle at the G0/G1 stage after 24 h of hepatocyte cultivation and promotes the preservation of their viability by 48 h of the experiment. Moreover, LC does not stimulate hepatocyte apoptosis, induces autophagy and the preserves the proliferative activity of hepatocytes.

Abstract
In this report, a strategy for constructing three-dimensional (3D) cellular architectures comprising viable cells is presented. The strategy uses a redox-responsive hydrogel that degrades under mild reductive conditions, and a confluent monolayer of cells (i.e., cell sheet) cultured on the hydrogel surface peels off and self-folds to wrap other cells. As a proof-of-concept, the self-folding of fibroblast cell sheet was triggered by immersion in aqueous cysteine, and this folding process was controlled by the cysteine concentration. Such folding enabled the wrapping of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) spheroids, human umbilical vein endothelial cells and collagen beads, and this process improved cell viability, the secretion of metabolites and the proliferation rate of the HepG2 cells when compared with a two-dimensional culture under the same conditions. A key concept of this study is the ability to interact with other neighbouring cells, providing a new, simple and fast method to generate higher-order cellular aggregates wherein different types of cellular components are added. We designated the method of using a cell sheet to wrap another cellular aggregate the 'cellular Furoshiki'. The simple self-wrapping Furoshiki technique provides an alternative approach to co-culture cells by microplate-based systems, especially for constructing heterogeneous 3D cellular microstructures.

Abstract
The reshaping of the world's aging population has created an urgent need for therapies for chronic diseases. Regenerative medicine offers a ray of hope, and its complex solutions include material, cellular, or tissue systems. We review basics of regenerative medicine/stem cells and describe how the field of molecular imaging, which is based on quantitative, noninvasive, imaging of biological events in living subjects, can be applied to regenerative medicine in order to interrogate tissues in innovative, informative, and personalized ways. We consider aspects of regenerative medicine for which molecular imaging will benefit. Next, genetic and nanoparticle-based cell imaging strategies are discussed in detail, with modalities like magnetic resonance imaging, optical imaging (near infra-red, bioluminescence), raman microscopy, and photoacoustic microscopy), ultrasound, computed tomography, single-photon computed tomography, and positron emission tomography. We conclude with a discussion of "next generation" molecular imaging strategies, including imaging host tissues prior to cell/tissue transplantation.

Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for quantitative assessment of liver organ damage after partial hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury: correlation with histology and serum biomarkers of liver cell injury. Eur Radiol 2018; 28:4455-4464. [PMID: 29713782 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-018-5380-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2017] [Revised: 01/22/2018] [Accepted: 02/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for quantitative assessment of liver organ damage after hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in mice. METHODS Partial hepatic IRI was induced in C57Bl/6 mice (n = 31) for 35, 45, 60 and 90 min. Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI was performed 1 day after surgery using a 3D-FLASH sequence. A subgroup of n = 9 animals with 60 min IRI underwent follow-up with MRI and histology 7 days after IRI. The total liver volume was determined by manual segmentation of the entire liver. The volume of functional, contrast-enhanced liver parenchyma was quantified by a region growing algorithm (visual threshold) and an automated segmentation (Otsu's method). The percentages of functional, contrast-enhanced and damaged non-enhanced parenchyma were calculated according to these volumes. MRI data was correlated with serum liver enzyme concentrations and histologically quantified organ damage using periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. RESULTS The percentage of functional (contrasted) liver parenchyma decreased significantly with increasing ischaemia times (control, 94.4 ± 3.3%; 35 min IRI, 89.3 ± 4.1%; 45 min IRI, 87.9 ± 3.3%; 60 min IRI, 68 ± 10.5%, p < 0.001 vs. control; 90 min IRI, 55.9 ± 11.5%, p < 0.001 vs. control). The percentage of non-contrasted liver parenchyma correlated with histologically quantified liver organ damage (r = 0.637, p < 0.01) and serum liver enzyme elevations (AST r = 0.577, p < 0.01; ALT r = 0.536, p < 0.05). Follow-up MRI visualized recovery of functional liver parenchyma (71.5 ± 8.7% vs. 84 ± 2.1%, p < 0.05), consistent with less histological organ damage on day 7. CONCLUSION We demonstrated the feasibility of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for non-invasive quantification of damaged liver parenchyma following IRI in mice. This novel methodology may refine the characterization of liver disease and could have application in future studies targeting liver organ damage. KEY POINTS • Prolonged ischaemia times in partial liver IRI increase liver organ damage. • Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI at hepatobiliary phase identifies damaged liver volume after hepatic IRI. • Damaged liver parenchyma quantified with MRI correlates with histological liver damage. • Hepatobiliary phase Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI enables non-invasive assessment of recovery from liver injury.
