Therapeutic effect of gelADSC after hepatectomy for normal liver. (a) Intraoperative photograph showing gelADSC placed on the surface of the remnant liver (black arrows). (b) The liver to body weight ratio was significantly higher on POD 2 in the gelADSC group than in the control group. (c) Representative images of the histological evaluation of remnant liver showing the accumulation of lipid in the control group on H&E staining, whereas such accumulation is decreased in the ivADSC and gelADSC groups. Immunohistochemistry for PCNA showed a significant increase in PCNA-positive cells in the gelADSC group compared with the control group. Scale bar = 100 μm. (d) A triglyceride assay revealed that the liver triglyceride content in the gelADSC group was significantly higher than in the control group but comparable to the ivADSC group. The cholesterol content was comparable between the three groups. (e) mRNA expression in the liver was evaluated by real-time PCR. The expression of Acc, Fasn, and Srebp-1c was comparable between the three groups, whereas that of Cpt-1a, Crot, and Pparα was significantly upregulated in the gelADSC group, the ivADSC group, and the control group in that order. (f) The liver to body weight ratio on POD 2 was comparable between the gelADSC group and the ivADSC group. *p < 0.05.
