Abstract: Objective To explore the possibility of repairing chemically induced acute hepatic injuries with allogeneic bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) transplantation. Methods A SD rat model of CCl4-induced acute hepatic injury was established, which received transplantation of BMSCs (2.0 ml, 1×106/ml) or normal saline injection into the local liver parenchyma, respectively. The rats were sacrificed at 6 h before and 6 h, 1, and 5 weeks after transplantation, and the livers were prepared for microscopic examination. Results Cellular necrosis, bridging necrosis, congestion in the hepatic sinusoid, and inflammatory cell infiltration were seen in the chemically injured livers 6 h after model establishment, and these changes were ameliorated in rats receiving BMSC transplantation. Conclusions Allogeneic BMSC transplantation can repair chemically induced acute liver injuries.
