Excretion of glutathione conjugates by primary cultured rat hepatocytes.
Conjugation of xenobiotics with glutathione occurs commonly within the liver, and these glutathione conjugates are then preferentially excreted into bile. We have characterized this excretory process using primary cultured hepatocytes (24 h). 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene rapidly entered the cells and formed a glutathione conjugate, S-(dinitrophenyl)glutathione, irrespective of the temperature of...
متن کامل[The mechanism of iron uptake by primary cultured rat hepatocytes].
The mechanism of iron uptake in isolated hepatocytes of Wistar strain female rats was investigated by primary monolayer culture for 24h at 37•Ž. The results were as follows: 1) Iron uptake from diferric transferrin (diFeTf) showed different processes dependent on the ligand concentrations. Namely, the receptor-mediated transport was observed in a lower concentration of diFeTf from 0 to 0.2ƒÊmol...
متن کاملThe Unreliability of MTT Assay in the Cytotoxic Test of Primary Cultured Glioblastoma Cells
MTT assay is commonly used to assess the cellular cytotoxicity caused by anticancer drugs in glioblastomas. However, there have been some reports insisting that MTT assay exhibited non-specific intracellular reduction of tetrazolium which led to underestimated results of cytotoxicity. Here, we examine whether or not MTT assay can lead to incorrect information regarding alcohol-induced cytotoxic...
متن کاملAn in vitro assay to assess transporter-based cholestatic hepatotoxicity using sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes.
Drug-induced cholestasis can result from the inhibition of biliary efflux of bile acids in the liver. Drugs may inhibit the hepatic uptake and/or the biliary efflux of bile acids resulting in an increase in serum concentrations. However, it is the intracellular concentration of bile acids that results in hepatotoxicity, and thus serum concentrations may not necessarily be an appropriate indicat...
متن کاملEffects of the Amino Acid Constituents of Microcystin Variants on Cytotoxicity to Primary Cultured Rat Hepatocytes
Microcystins, which are cyclic heptapeptides produced by some cyanobacterial species from algal blooms, strongly inhibit serine/threonine protein phosphatase and are known as hepatotoxins. Microcystins have many structural variations, yet insufficient information is available on the differences in the cytotoxic potentials among the structural variants. In this study, the cytotoxicities of 16 mi...
