Abstract:Generation of hepatocytes from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) could be a promising alternative source of human hepatocytes. However, mechanisms to differentiate hepatocytes from hADSCs are not fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the role of nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) in differentiation of hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs). We used our established three-step differentiation protocol to develop HLCs from hADSCs. Significant nuclear translocation of Nrf2 occu… Show more
