Hepatocyte couplets.
Hepatocyte couplets, by retaining functional and morphological polarity similar to that of hepatocytes in situ, are a valuable in vitro model to study mechanisms of bile secretion, cholestasis and hepatocellular injury. They have been useful in studies of the hormonal control of bile formation and are suitable for morphological studies. The availability of periportal- and perivenous-enriched co...
متن کاملPurification and use of hepatocyte couplets.
Partial digestion of liver with collagenase can provide a cell population composed of single cells (singlets), pairs of cells (couplets) or larger groupings (multiplets) [l]. The individual cells within the couplets and multiplets possess both gap junction and tight junction function. Studies with these polarised primary cells can be aimed, for example, at the biliary pole without a requirement...
متن کاملLymphocyte cytotoxicity in human liver disease using rat hepatocyte monolayer cultures.
Isolated rat hepatocytes were used to determine the cytotoxicity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) from patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and chronic active hepatitis (CAH). The specificity of the cytotoxic effect on liver cells was monitored using rat kidney cells. PBM from patients with CAH and ALD showed increased spontaneous cell-mediated cytolysis (SCMC) for hepatocytes...
متن کاملInteractions of dietary fat and 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol on energy metabolism in isolated rat hepatocytes.
The fructose analog 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol (2,5-AM) stimulates feeding in rats by reducing ATP content in the liver. These behavioral and metabolic effects occur with rats fed a high-carbohydrate/low-fat (HC/LF) diet, but they are prevented or attenuated when the animals eat high-fat/low-carbohydrate (HF/LC) food. To examine the metabolic bases for this effect of diet, we assessed the actions o...
متن کاملHepatocyte surface molecule involved in the adhesion of TA3 mammary carcinoma cells to rat hepatocyte cultures.
To identify adhesion molecules involved in the formation of liver metastases, we prepared monoclonal antibodies against rat liver plasma membranes, that inhibited the adhesion of mouse metastatic TA3 mammary carcinoma cells to rat hepatocytes in vitro. Two such antibodies (designated OPAR-1 and OPAR-2) were obtained, that inhibited by over 70%. As assessed with gel electrophoresis and immunoblo...
