Background. We have previously demonstrated that CD133 and CD39 are expressed by hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), which are mobilized after liver injury and target sites of injury, limit vascular inflammation, and boost hepatic regeneration. Plasma microparticles (MP) expressing CD39 can block endothelial activation. Here, we tested whether CD133(+) MP might be shed in a CD39-dependent manner in a model of liver injury and could potentially serve as biomarkers of liver failure in the clinic.Methods. Wild-type and Cd39-null mice were subjected to acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Mice were sacrificed and plasma MP were isolated by ultracentrifugation. HSC and CD133(+) MP levels were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Patients were enrolled with acute (n=5) and acute on chronic (n=5) liver injury with matched controls (n=7). Blood was collected at admission and plasma CD133(+) and CD39(+) MP subsets were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting.Results. HSC and CD133(+) MP levels were significantly increased only in the plasma of wild-type mice with acetaminophen hepatotoxicity (P
