Methods Ninety rats were included in the study and were divided equally into Control group rats which received MSCs only rats which received MSCs vehicle only HCC group induced by diethylnitroseamine DENA and CCl4 rats which received MSCs after HCC induction rats which received MSCs before HCC induction. Histopathological examination and gene expression of Wnt signaling target genes by real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR in rat liver tissue in addition to serum levels of ALT AST and alpha fetoprotein were performed in all groups. Results Histopathological examination of liver tissue from animals which received DENA-CCl4 only revealed the presence of anaplastic carcinoma cells and macro-regenerative nodules type II with foci of large and small cell dysplasia. Administration of MSCs into rats after induction of experimental HCC improved the histopathological picture which showed minimal liver cell damage reversible changes areas of cell drop out filled with stem cells. Gene expression in rat liver tissue demonstrated that MSCs downregulated b-catenin proliferating cell nuclear antigen PCNA cyclin D and survivin genes expression in liver tissues after HCC induction.
