Human ductal plate and its derivatives express antigens of cholangiocellular,hepatocellular,hepatic stellate/progenitor cell,stem cell,and neuroendocrine lineages,and proliferative antigens
Molecular mechanisms of human ductal plate (DP) development and differentiation (DD) are unclear. The author immunohistochemically investigated expressions of cholangiocellular antigens (CEA, CA19-9, EMA, MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC6, mucins, CK7, and CK19), hepatocellular antigens (HepPar1, AFP, CK8, and CK18), hepatic stellate/progenitor cell (HSC) antigens or stem cell (SC) antigens (C-erbB2, CD56, chromogranin, synaptophysin, bcl2, NSE, NCAM, KIT, and PDGFRA), and proliferating antigen (Ki67) in 32 human fetal livers (HFL). The DD of human intrahepatic bile duct (IBD) could be categorized into four stages: DP, remodeling DP, remodeled DP, and immature IBD. All the molecules examined were expressed in the DP and DP derivatives. These results suggest that human DP or DP derivatives have capacities to differentiate into cholangiocellular, hepatocellular, HSC, SC, and neuroendocrine lineages. The data also suggest that NCAM, KIT/SC factor-signaling, NSE, HGF/MET signaling, PDGFa/PDGFRA signaling, chromogranin, synaptophysin, and CD56 play important roles in DD of DP and biliary cells of HFL. DP, DP derivatives, and IBD in HFL have proliferative capacity.
