Background: Although the beneficial role of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) in acute liver injury has been addressed by numerous studies employing different liver injury inducers, the role of rat AD-MSCs (rAD-MSCs) in diclofenac sodium (DIC) - induced acute liver injury has not yet been clarified.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether rat adipose- rAD-MSCs injected intraperitoneal could restore the DIC-induced hepatoxicity.
Methods: Hepatotoxicity was induced by DIC in a dose-based manner, after which intraperitoneal injection of rAD-MSCs was performed.
Results: Here, the transplanted cells migrated to the injured liver, and this was evidenced by detecting the specific SRY in the liver samples. After administering DIC, a significant decrease in body weight, survival rate, serum proteins, antioxidants, anti-apoptotic gene expression, and certain growth factors, whereas hepatic-specific markers, pro-inflammatory mediators, and oxidative, pro-apoptotic, and ER-stress markers were elevated. These adverse effects were significantly recovered after engraftment with rAD-MSCs. This was evidenced by enhanced survival and body weight, improved globulin and albumin values, increased expression of SOD, GPx, BCL-2, VEGF, and FGF-basic expression, and decreased serum ALT, AST, ALP, and total bilirubin. rAD-MSCs also reduced liver cell damage by suppressing the expression of MDA, IL-1B, IL-6, BAX, JNK, GRP78/BiP, CHOP, XBP-1, and cleaved caspase 3/7. Degenerative hepatic changes and multifocal areas of fatty change within liver cells were observed in DIC-received groups. These changes were improved with the transplantation of rAD-MSCs.
Conclusions: We could conclude that targeted AD-MSCs could be applied to reduce hepatic toxicity caused by NSAIDs (DIC).

The lack of in vivo accurate human liver models hinders the investigation of liver-related diseases, injuries, and drug-related toxicity, posing challenges for both basic research and clinical applications. Traditional cellular and animal models, while widely used, have significant limitations in replicating the liver's complex responses to various stressors. Liver organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells, adult stem cells primary cells, or tissues can mimic diverse liver cell types, major physiological functions, and architectural features.

This paper reviews the important role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in the patho mechanism of liver fibrosis and its potential as a potential target for the treatment of liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis is the result of sustained inflammation and injury to the liver due to a variety of factors, triggering excessive deposition of extracellular matrix and fibrous scar formation, which in turn leads to loss of liver function and a variety of related complications. Endoplasmic reticulum stress is one of the characteristics of chronic liver disease and is closely related to the pathological process of chronic liver disease, including alcohol-related liver disease, viral hepatitis, and liver fibrosis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cholestatic liver injury (CLI) is a pathophysiological syndrome characterized by the accumulation of bile acids (BAs), which leads to significant hepatic dysfunction. This condition is frequently associated with disturbances in BAs homeostasis and the induction of oxidative stress. Ribes diacanthum Pall (RDP), a conventional folk medicinal plant, has been employed in Mongolia, the Inner Mongolia region of China, and other areas for the remediation of hepatic disorders.

Ferroptosis is a novel type of programmed cell death characterized by radical-driven lipid peroxidation accumulation, which is involved in various diseases, including acute organ injury and neurodegenerative disorders. Pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis is a promising strategy for treating these diseases. In this study, 16 benzo[b][1,4]oxazine derivatives were synthesized and assayed for their antiferroptotic activity.

Callistephus chinensis Nees is an herbaceous plant in the Asteraceae family that has various traditional effects, especially in preventing liver disease. Callistephus A (CA) is a sesquiterpene compound with a rare 6/7 ring skeleton, which has been isolated only from the Callistephus chinensis Nees, but whether CA protects the liver is unknown. Immunological liver injury (ILI) is a common liver disease mediated by the immune system.
