Summary of results from studies using hAEC-based therapies in models of liver disease.

Study Injury model hAEC treatment Main results
Manuelpillai et al. [22] C57BL/6 mice administered CCl4 twice weekly for 4 weeks Intraperitoneal injection of whole hAECs Decreased liver injury, inflammation, and fibrosis
Sant'Anna et al. [105] Bile duct ligation in Wistar rats for 6 weeks Amniotic membrane place over ligation site Reduced liver fibrosis
Manuelpillai et al. [36] C57BL/6 mice administered CCl4 twice weekly for 12 weeks Single and double dose of whole hAECs by intraperitoneal injection Decrease fibrosis, decreased macrophage infiltration, increased M2 polarisation, and reduced T-cell infiltration
Ricci et al. [106] Bile duct ligation in Sprague Dawley rats for 6 weeks Fresh or cryopreserved amniotic membrane place over ligation site Fresh and cryopreserved amniotic membrane produced the same antifibrotic effects
Alhomrani et al. [24] C57BL/6 mice administered CCl4 twice weekly for 12 weeks Tail vein injection of hAEC-CM or hAEC-derived exosomes hAEC-CM and exosomes derived from hAECs reduce liver inflammation and fibrosis
Kuk et al. [45] C57BL/6J mice on a Western fast food diet for 42 weeks Multiple intraperitoneal injections of either whole hAECs or hAEC-CM hAEC-CM reduces inflammation and fibrosis

CCl4: carbon tetrachloride; hAEC: human amnion epithelial cell; hAEC-CM: human amnion epithelial cell-conditioned medium.
