Hepatoprotective and hepatotoxic actions of oleanolic acid-type triterpenoidal glucuronides on rat primary hepatocyte cultures.
The protective effects of oleanolic acid-type saponins and their derivatives on in vitro immunological liver injury of primary cultured rat hepatocytes were studied. A known antihepatotoxic saponin (chikusetsusaponin IVa, 1) showed hepatoprotective activity in this model. Although a rhamnosyl derivative (2) of 1 similarly showed hepatoprotective activity, its prosapogenin (5) did not show any h...
متن کاملTranscriptional induction of heme oxygenase-1 gene expression by okadaic acid in primary rat hepatocyte cultures.
Heme oxygenase (HO) catalyzes the rate-limiting enzymatic step of heme degradation and regulates the cellular heme content. The gene expression of the inducible isoform of HO, HO-1, is up-regulated in response to various agents causing oxidative stress. To investigate the regulatory role of protein phosphatases in the hepatic regulation of HO-1 gene expression, primary cultures of rat hepatocyt...
متن کاملConditions of Prooxidant Activity of Cistus and Pomegranate Polyphenols in V79 Cell Cultures.
Polyphenol rich extracts obtained from cistus herb (Cistus incanus L.) and pomegranate peels (Punica granatunm L.) added at high concentrations (25-100 pg/mL) to V79 (Chinese hamster lung fibroblast) cell cultures, markedly increased intracellular level of ROS (reactive oxygen species). Also in cells exposed to the exogenous oxidant - H₂0₂, [100 μM, 30 min., 37'C] intracellular ROS level was au...
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...
متن کاملCharacterization of spontaneous network-driven synaptic activity in rat hippocampal slice cultures
A particular characteristic of the neonatal hippocampus is the presence of spontaneous network-driven oscillatory events, the so-called giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs). GDPs depend on the interplay between GABA and glutamate. Early in development, GABA, acting on GABAA receptors, depolarizes neuronal membranes via a Cl- efflux. Glutamate, via AMPA receptors, generates a positive feedback n...
