Abstract
AIMS The developmental origin of health and disease (DOHaD) theory postulates that poor nutrition during fetal life increases the risk of disease later in life. Excessive fructose intake has been associated with obesity, diabetes, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and maternal fructose intake during pregnancy has been shown to affect offspring health. In this study, we investigated the effects of high maternal fructose intake on the liver stem/progenitor cells of offspring. MAIN METHOD A fructose-based DOHaD model was established using Sprague-Dawley rats. Small hepatocytes (SHs), which play an important role in liver development and regeneration, were isolated from the offspring of dams that were fed a high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) diet. The gene expression and DNA methylation patterns were analyzed on postnatal day (PD) 21 and 60. KEY FINDINGS Maternal HFCS intake did not affect body weight or caloric intake, but differences in gene expression and DNA methylation patterns were observed in the SHs of offspring. Functional analysis revealed an association between metabolic processes and ion transport. SIGNIFICANCE These results suggest that maternal fructose intake affects DNA methylation and gene expression in the liver stem/progenitor cells of offspring. Furthermore, the prolonged retention of these changes in gene expression and DNA methylation in adulthood (PD 60) suggests that maternal fructose intake may exert lifelong effects. These findings provide insights into the DOHaD for liver-related disorders and highlight the importance of maternal nutrition for the health of the next generation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small hepatocyte-like progenitor cells (SHPCs) are hepatocytic progenitor cells that transiently form clusters in rat livers treated with retrorsine (Ret) that underwent 70% partial hepatectomy (PH). We previously reported that transplantation of Thy1+ cells obtained from D-galactosamine-treated livers promotes SHPC expansion, thereby accelerating liver regeneration. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by Thy1+ cells induce sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) and Kupffer cells (KCs) to secrete IL17B and IL25, respectively, thereby activating SHPCs through IL17 receptor B (RB) signaling. This study aimed to identify the inducers of IL17RB signaling and growth factors for SHPC proliferation in EVs secreted by Thy1+ cells (Thy1-EVs). METHODS Thy1+ cells isolated from the livers of rats treated with D-galactosamine were cultured. Although some liver stem/progenitor cells (LSPCs) proliferated to form colonies, others remained as mesenchymal cells (MCs). Thy1-MCs or Thy1-LSPCs were transplanted into Ret/PH-treated livers to examine their effects on SHPCs. EVs were isolated from the conditioned medium (CM) of Thy1-MCs and Thy1-LSPCs. Small hepatocytes (SHs) isolated from adult rat livers were used to identify factors regulating cell growth in Thy1-EVs. RESULTS The size of SHPC clusters transplanted with Thy1-MCs was significantly larger than that of SHPC clusters transplanted with Thy1-LSPCs (p = 0.02). A comprehensive analysis of Thy1-MC-EVs revealed that miR-199a-5p, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-2 (CINC-2), and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) were candidates for promoting SHPC growth. Additionally, miR-199a-5p mimics promoted the growth of SHs (p = 0.02), whereas CINC-2 and MCP-1 did not. SECs treated with CINC-2 induced Il17b expression. KCs treated with Thy1-EVs induced the expression of CINC-2, Il25, and miR-199a-5p. CM derived from SECs treated with CINC-2 accelerated the growth of SHs (p = 0.03). Similarly, CM derived from KCs treated with Thy1-EVs and miR-199a-5p mimics accelerated the growth of SHs (p = 0.007). In addition, although miR-199a-overexpressing EVs could not enhance SHPC proliferation, transplantation of miR-199a-overexpressing Thy1-MCs could promote the expansion of SHPC clusters. CONCLUSION Thy1-MC transplantation may accelerate liver regeneration owing to SHPC expansion, which is induced by CINC-2/IL17RB signaling and miR-199a-5p via SEC and KC activation.

Abstract
Small hepatocyte-like progenitor cells (SHPCs) transiently form clusters in rat livers treated with retrorsine (Ret)/70% partial hepatectomy (PH). When Thy1+ cells isolated from d-galactosamine-treated rat livers were transplanted into the livers of Ret/PH-treated rats, the mass of the recipient liver transiently increased during the first 30 days after transplantation, suggesting that liver regeneration was enhanced. Here we addressed how Thy1+ cell transplantation stimulates liver regeneration. We found that the number and size of SHPC clusters increased in the liver at 14 days after transplantation. GeneChip analysis revealed that interleukin 17 receptor b (IL17rb) expression significantly increased in SHPCs from livers transplanted with Thy1+ cells. We subsequently searched for ligand-expressing cells and found that sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) and Kupffer cells expressed Il17b and Il25, respectively. Moreover, extracellular vesicles (EVs) separated from the conditioned medium of Thy1+ cell culture induced IL17b and IL25 expression in SECs and Kupffer cells, respectively. Furthermore, EVs enhanced IL17rb expression in small hepatocytes (SHs), which are hepatocytic progenitor cells; in culture, IL17B stimulated the growth of SHs. These results suggest that Thy1-EVs coordinate IL17RB signaling to enhance liver regeneration by targeting SECs, Kupffer cells, and SHPCs. Indeed, the administration of Thy1-EVs increased the number and size of SHPC clusters in Ret/PH-treated rat livers. Sixty days post-transplantation, most expanded SHPCs entered cellular senescence, and the enlarged liver returned to its normal size. In conclusion, Thy1+ cell transplantation enhanced liver regeneration by promoting the proliferation of intrinsic hepatic progenitor cells via IL17RB signaling. Stem Cells 2017;35:920-931.
