Model

Mechanism

hESC

Unknown

CCl4-induced mouse model

Increased the expression of NF-κB and STAT3 transcription factors and initiated liver regeneration by activating NF-κB and IL-6 dependent pathways [144].

hypoxic MSC

miR-182-5p

PHx mouse model

Regulated the forkhead box transcription factor 1 (FOXO1)/toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway to enhance macrophage polarization during liver regeneration [145].

CP-MSC

miR-125b

CCl4-induced mouse model

Regulates the expression of the Hh signaling pathway, promotes fibrosis regression, and ultimately promotes liver regeneration [65].

hucbMSC

miR-124

PHx mouse model

Promote liver regeneration after PHx in rats by down-regulating the transcription Foxg1 [146].

PD-MSC

unknown

BDL rat model

Upregulate CRP and promote angiogenesis by activating the Wnt pathway, and play a direct role in liver regeneration of hepatocytes [149].
