Abstract | The placenta and the extraembryonic tissues represent a valuable source of cells for regenerative medicine. In particular, the amniotic membrane possesses cells with stem cells characteristics that have attracted research attention. Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) have unique and desirable features that position them over other stem cells, not only because of the unlimited potential supplied of, the easy access to placental tissues, and the minimal ethical and legal barriers associated, but also due to the embryonic stem cells markers expression and their ability to differentiate into the three germ layers. In addition, they are non-tumorigenic and have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Hepatic failure is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Organ transplantation is the best way to treat acute and chronic liver failure, but there are several associated obstacles. Stem cells have been highlighted as alternative hepatocytes source because of their potential for hepatogenic differentiation. HAECs, in particular, have some properties that make them suitable for hepatocyte differentiation. In this work, we review the general characteristics of the epithelial stem cells isolated from human amniotic membrane as well as their ability to differentiate to hepatic cells. We also revise their regenerative properties, with the focus on their potential application in the liver disease treatment. |
