Popis: ObjectiveThe monocyte–macrophage system is central to the host’s innate immune defense and in resolving injury. It is reported to be dysfunctional in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). The disease-associated alterations in ACLF monocytes are not fully understood. We investigated the mechanism of monocytes’ functional exhaustion and the role of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (ucMSCs) in re-energizing monocytes in ACLF.DesignMonocytes were isolated from the peripheral blood of ACLF patients (n = 34) and matched healthy controls (n = 7) and patients with compensated cirrhosis (n = 7); phagocytic function, oxidative burst, and bioenergetics were analyzed. In the ACLF mouse model, ucMSCs were infused intravenously, and animals were sacrificed at 24 h and day 11 to assess changes in monocyte function, liver injury, and regeneration.ResultsPatients with ACLF (alcohol 64%) compared with healthy controls and those with compensated cirrhosis had an increased number of peripheral blood monocytes (p < 0.0001) which displayed significant defects in phagocytic (p < 0.0001) and oxidative burst capacity (p < 0.0001). ACLF patients also showed a significant increase in the number of liver macrophages as compared with healthy controls (p < 0.001). Bioenergetic analysis showed markedly reduced oxidative phosphorylation (p < 0.0001) and glycolysis (p < 0.001) in ACLF monocytes. Patients with monocytes having maximum mitochondrial respiration of
