摘要

Fibrosis is a disease that negatively affects liver regeneration, resulting in severe complications after liver surgery. However, there is still no clinically effective treatment for promoting fibrotic liver regeneration because the underlying hepatocellular mechanism remains poorly understood. Through microRNA microarrays combined with the application of AAV6, we found that high expression of miR-181a-5p in activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) suppressed the expression of hepatic growth factor (HGF) and partially contributed to impaired regeneration potential in mice with hepatic fibrosis that had undergone two-thirds partial hepatectomy. As nanotherapeutics, mesenchymal stem-cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have been verified as effective treatments for liver regeneration. Here we observe that MSC-EVs can also promote fibrotic liver regeneration via enriched lncEEF1G, which acts as a competing endogenous RNA to directly sponge miR-181a-5p, leading to the upregulated expression of HGF in HSCs. Finally, engineered MSC-EVs with high expression of lncEEF1G (lncEEF1GOE-EVs) were constructed, suggesting greater potential for this model. In summary, our findings indicate that lncEEF1GOE-EVs have a nanotherapeutic effect on promoting regeneration of fibrotic livers by modulating the miR-181a-5p/HGF pathway in HSCs, which highlights the potential of extracellular vesicle engineering technology for patients with hepatic fibrosis who have undergone hepatic surgery.
