Liver fibrosis is a chronic progressive liver disease, but no established effective treatment exists except for liver transplantation. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of human placenta mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) on carbon tetrachloride- (CCl<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>-) induced liver fibrosis in rats.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Liver fibrosis was induced by subcutaneous injection with CCl<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>; hPMSCs were directly transplanted into rats through the caudal vein. The therapeutic efficacy of hPMSCs on liver fibrosis was measured by liver function tests, liver elastography, histopathology, Masson\u2019s trichrome and Sirius red staining, and immunohistochemical studies. The expression levels of fibrotic markers, transforming growth factor<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>1 (TGF-<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>1) and<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>-smooth muscle actin (<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>-SMA), were assessed using real-time polymerase chain reaction.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. We demonstrated that liver fibrosis was significantly dampened in the hPMSC transplantation group according to the Laennec fibrosis scoring system and histological data. The Sirius red-stained collagen area and the elastography score were significantly reduced in the hPMSC-treated group. Meanwhile, hPMSC administration significantly decreased TGF-<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>1 and<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>-SMA expression and enhanced liver functions in CCl<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>-induced fibrotic rats.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. This study indicates that transplantation of hPMSCs could repair liver fibrosis induced by CCl<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>in rats, which may serve as a valuable therapeutic approach to treat liver diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/1798260","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,12]],"date-time":"2017-04-12T13:10:11Z","timestamp":1492002611000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Therapeutic
