Abstract
To study the effects of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) modified umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on chronic liver injury in rats, adenovirus carrying human KGF gene (Ad-KGF) was used. Rat liver injury model was established by subcutaneous injection of CCl4 - olive oil solution; 56 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control, model, MSC, KGF, and KGF/MSC groups. Of all three treatments, KGF/MSC had the most obvious therapeutic effects on liver injury, and cell injections did not cause adverse reaction. The experiment provides new data for clinical research of KGF/MSC and possible methods for liver injury treatment.
