International audience. The aim of this study was to search for hematopoietic potential in the liver of non-human primates. Lethally irradiated (2 x 5 Gy gamma) macaque monkeys were given autologous hepatic mononuclear cells (HMNC) isolated from a liver lobe by perfusion and digestion with 0.1% collagenase. Two monkeys were given intramedullary injections of HMNC (18.6 x 10(6)/kg, 20.4 x 10(6)/kg) and two others were co-transplanted with HMNC (14.35 x 10(6)/kg, 96.5 x 10(6)/kg) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (0.42 x 10(6)/kg, 1.16 x 10(6)/kg). All monkeys exhibited a transient neutrophil recovery from day 22 for 10 days, but failed to produce platelets and remained transfusion-dependent. In conclusion, adult liver stem cells from a monkey model show a low level of in vivo hematopoietic potential, suggesting ex vivo manipulation will be required before clinical use of such cells.
