Abstract Although the beneficial role of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) in acute liver injury has been addressed by numerous studies employing different liver injury inducers, the role of rat AD-MSCs (rAD-MSCs) in diclofenac sodium (DIC) – induced acute liver injury has not yet been clarified. Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether rat adipose- rAD-MSCs injected intraperitoneal could restore the DIC-induced hepatoxicity. Methods: Hepatotoxicity was induced by DIC in a dose-based manner, after which intraperitoneal injection of rAD-MSCs was performed. Results: Here, the transplanted cells migrated to the injured liver, and this was evidenced by detecting the specific SRY in the liver samples. After administering DIC, a significant decrease in body weight, survival rate, serum proteins, antioxidants, anti-apoptotic gene expression, and certain growth factors, whereas hepatic-specific markers, pro-inflammatory mediators, and oxidative, pro-apoptotic, and ER-stress markers were elevated. |
