Abstract

The present study assessed human hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) as a potential source of biological material for bioartificial liver (BAL) systems. The histological characteristics of HCA tissues from 8 patients were examined using hematoxylin and eosin staining. The glycogen synthesis capacity of HCA cells was assessed using Periodic Acid‑Schiff (PAS) staining and the expression of genes involved in liver function were examined using immunohistochemical staining (IHC) and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. Primary cells from HCA tissues were subsequently isolated and cultured in vitro. Cells within HCA tissues from 8 patients exhibited a polygonal shape, similar to that of cells in adjacent normal liver tissues. PAS staining of HCA tissues indicated the capacity of these cells to synthesize and store glycogen. Furthermore, IHC and PCR analyses revealed that the expression of liver function genes in HCA tissues were similar to those observed within normal adjacent liver tissues. Primary cells isolated from HCA tissues exhibited an irregular polygonal shape and positive in vitro growth. The current study demonstrated that HCA tissues exhibit histological and functional characteristics matching those of normal human liver tissue and may therefore be a promising alternative to hepatocytes as a source of biological material for BAL systems.
