摘要

摘要: 体外诱导肝样细胞(HLC)是获取大量具有应用价值的肝细胞的有效途径之一，这些HLC可以用于构建疾病模型、药物设计和药物毒理学评价等。目前，HLC的体外诱导主要通过引入外源转录因子、细胞因子或小分子化合物组合的处理。小分子化合物因其结构多样性、时间和剂量的可控性及操作上的便利和安全等优势，让科学家们致力于筛选小分子化合物来取代外源转录因子和细胞因子，其在再生医学领域的应用前景广阔。本文主要对体外诱导多能干细胞及其他成体细胞分化成HLC的研究进行概述，并总结了小分子化合物在体外诱导HLC中的应用，以期为HLC的体外诱导研究提供思路和借鉴。

Abstract: The induction of hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) in vitro is one of the effective ways to obtain a large number of useful hepatocyte, and these HLCs can be used in disease modeling, drug design, and toxicological evaluation. At present, the induction of HLCs in vitro is mainly achieved by introducing exogenous transcription factors, cytokines or small-molecule compounds. Since small-molecule compounds have the advantages of structural diversity, controllable time and dose, and convenient and safe operation, scientists are devoted to screening out the small-molecule compounds to replace exogenous transcription factors and cytokines, and such compounds have a promising application prospect in the field of regenerative medicine. This article reviews the studies on the in vitro induction of HLCs from pluripotent stem cells and other adult stem cells and summarizes the application of small-molecule compounds in the in vitro induction of HLCs, in order to provide ideas and references for the in vitro induction of HLCs.
