| 1 | Evidence against a role for platelet-derived molecules in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in humans显示文摘Background and Aim:Blood platelets have been shown to stimulate liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in animal models and humans,but the molecular mechanisms involved are unclear.It has been proposed that growth factors and angiogenic molecules stored within platelets drive platelet-mediated liver regeneration,but little direct evidence in support of this mechanism is available.Methods:We assessed levels of relevant platelet-derived proteins(vascular endothelial growth factor,hepatocyte growth factor,fibroblast growth factor,platelet-derived growth factor,thrombospondin,and endostatin)in platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma taken at various perioperative time points from patients undergoing a(extended)right partial hepatectomy(n=17)or a pylorus-preserving pancreatico-duodenectomy(n=10).In addition,we collected intraoperative samples from the efferent and afferent liver veins prior to and after completion of liver resection.Twenty-four healthy controls were included to establish reference ranges for the various tests.Results and Conclusions:Although we demonstrate perioperative changes in platelet and plasma levels of the proteins assessed,the changes observed in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy largely mirror the changes observed in patients undergoing a pylorus-preserving pancreatico-duodenectomy.In addition,no change in the growth factor levels in platelet-rich plasma between afferent and efferent liver veins was observed.Thus,the absence of an intra-or postoperative consumption of platelet-derived proteins in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy argues against a role of release of these molecules in stimulation of liver regeneration.Relevance for patients:In depth knowledge of the mechanism underlying platelet-mediated liver regeneration may facilitate development of targeted therapeutic interventions for patients with failing liver regeneration,which for example may occur following a partial hepatectomy.Although the prevailing dogma is that platelet stimulate liver regeneration by release of growth factors stored within platelets,data in this manuscript argue against this mechanism and suggest other pathways to be responsible. | Marc Kirschbaum Jelle Adelmeijer Edris M.Alkozai Robert J.Porte Ton Lisman | 2016 | Journal of Clinical & Translational Research2016，2，3： | 0 |
