The effect of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) on graft mucosal cell proliferation and apoptosis after rat small bowel transplantation
Objective: To study the effect of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) on mucosal cell of small bowel isograft. Methods: Total small bowel transplantation was made with inbred Wistar(RT1k) rats heterotopically
either total patenteral nutrition(TPN group
n=10) or hepatocyte growth factor supplemented TPN(HGF group
n=10) was used in recipients from POD2 to POD10. Proliferative index and apoptotic index were studied. Results: There were no apparent difference between proliferative index and apoptotic index in two groups before small bowel transplantation(SBT); PI decreased greatly and AI increased significantly in TPN group after SBT. There were no significant change in both PI and AI in HGF group after transplantation. Conclusion:Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) can significantly enhance mucosal cell proliferation and inhibit cell apoptosis of isotransplanted small bowel graft.
