BMCs of green fluorescent protein (GFP) mice were transplanted into 4\u2013week carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated C57BL6 mice through the tail vein, and the mice were treated for 4 more weeks with CCl4 (total, 8 weeks). Sirius red and GFP staining clearly indicated migrated BMCs existing along with fibers, with strong expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)\u20139 shown by anti-MMP\u20139 antibodies and<\/jats:bold>\n                      <jats:bold>in situ<\/jats:bold>\n                      <jats:bold>hybridization.

Four weeks after BMC transplantation, mice had significantly reduced liver fibrosis, as assessed by hydroxyproline content of the livers, compared to that of mice treated with CCl4 alone. Subpopulation of Liv8\u2013negative BMCs was responsible for this fibrolytic effect.<\/jats:bold>\n                      <jats:bold>In conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n                      <jats:bold>, mice with BMC transplants with continuous CCl4 injection had reduced liver fibrosis and a significantly improved survival rate after BMC transplantation compared with mice treated with CCl4 alone.
