Intracellular pH regulation in isolated rat bile duct epithelial cells.
To evaluate ion transport mechanisms in bile duct epithelium (BDE), BDE cells were isolated from bile duct-ligated rats. After short-term culture pHi was measured with a single cell microfluorimetric set-up using the fluorescent pHi indicator BCECF, and calibrated with nigericin in high K+ concentration buffer. Major contaminants were identified using vital markers. In HCO3(-)-free media, basel...
متن کاملHepatocyte 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 کاملCyclosporin A induced internalization of the bile salt export pump in isolated rat hepatocyte couplets.
Isolated rat hepatocyte couplets were used to perform the comparative study of two widely used immunosuppressors, cyclosporin A (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK506) on hepatocanalicular function. We assessed canalicular function by counting the percentage of couplets that were able to accumulate the fluorescent cholephile, cholyl-lysyl-fluorescein (CLF), into the canalicular vacuole between the two cel...
متن کاملCoordination of hormone-induced calcium signals in isolated rat hepatocyte couplets: demonstration with confocal microscopy.
Excitable cells often display rapid coordination of hormone-induced intracellular calcium signals. Calcium elevations that begin in a single epithelial cell also may spread to adjacent cells, but coordination of hormone-induced signals among epithelial cells has not been described. We report the use of confocal microscopy to determine the inter- and intracellular distribution of cytosolic calci...
متن کاملEffect of varying PCO2 on intracellular pH and lactate consumption in the isolated perfused rat liver.
1. The effects of varying PCO2 on lactate uptake and intracellular pH (pHi) were studied in the isolated rat liver perfused with differing concentration of lactate. 2. In general, pHi and lactate uptake are inversely related to PCO2, and pHi and lactate uptake are directly related to each other, but the quantitative aspects and significance of these relationships vary with the availability of l...
