AbstractBackground Hepatic resection is not applicable to the majority ofhepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients due to insufficient liverfunction reserve. Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), a member of the inter-leukin-6 family, has demonstrated protective and pro-proliferativeeffects in the myocytes and hepatocytes.Aim The present study aimed to investigate the potential role ofCT-1 in rescuing marginal cirrhotic liver remnant in a rat orthotopicHCC model.Materials and Methods Liver cirrhosis was induced by subcuta-neous injection of CCL4 for 8 weeks. The rat orthotopic HCC model was generated by injecting HCC cells into the left lobe of the liver.Animals received the following treatments: 1) hepatectomy only, n =6; 2) CT-1 (2 µg/kg) intraportal vein injection (i.pv) right after hepa-tectomy, n = 6; 3) CT-1 (2 µg/kg) i.pv right after hepatectomy, and 1µg/kg intraperitoneal injection (i.p) 24 hr after hepatectomy, n = 6; 4)CT-1 (2 µg/kg) i.p 24 hr before hepatectomy, n = 6; 5) CT-1 (2 µg/kg)i.p 24 hr before hepatectomy, and 1 µg/kg i.p 24 hr after hepatectomy,n = 6.Results The double-dose CT-1 significantly improved animal survival, and all the surviving animals did not present with tumorrecurrence. CT-1 administration decreased the plasma AST and ALT levels, augmented the number of Ki-67+and gp130+cells, andrestored the ATP levels. CT-1 culture enhanced the viability of pri-marily isolated hepatocytes. CT-1 treatment increased the expressionof Akt and PI3K in the liver remnant.Conclusions A short-term administration of CT-1 could improveanimal survival after major hepatectomy, through promoting cell pro-liferation and restoring cell survival.
