Biosynthesis of complement components by cultured rat hepatocytes.
Hepatocytes which had been isolated from the livers of Charles River rats were cultured in vitro. The cells were shown to synthesize albumin and the complement components C4, C2, C3 and B. Pulse-label studies with [35S]methionine showed that C4 and C3 were synthesized as single polypeptide chains. Pro-C4 did not appear to be converted into the plasma form of C4 intracellularly, whereas cell lys...
متن کاملInhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis in primary cultured rat hepatocytes by artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) extracts.
High-dose aqueous extracts from artichoke leaves were found to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis from 14C-acetate in primary cultured rat hepatocytes in a concentration-dependent biphasic manner with moderate inhibition (approximately 20%) between 0.007 and 0.1 mg/ml and more strong inhibition at 1 mg/ml. Cytotoxic effects detected by lactate dehydrogenase leakage and the 3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol...
متن کاملExcretion 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 کاملRole of insulin in lipoprotein secretion by cultured rat hepatocytes.
To study the effect of insulin on lipoprotein synthesis and secretion by the liver, apoprotein and lipid levels were measured in primary rat liver cell cultures grown on fibronectin-coated dishes. Triglycerides, phospholipids, apoprotein (apo) B, apo-E, and apo-C-III3 all accumulated in culture media linearly for periods up to 20 h. During incubations, cellular triglyceride contents increased s...
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...
