Abstract: | Significant levels of collagenase activity have been found in extracts of isolated rat hepatocytes, but not in extracts of rat liver. Hepatocytes prepared by perfusion of liver with 125I-clostridial collagenase and washed repeatedly retained significant amounts of the radiolabeled proteases. During the first 24–48 hours of primary culture of the hepatocytes, the contaminating clostridial collagenase was rapidly inactivated and degraded as judged first, by loss of collagenase activity from both cell extracts and culture medium; and second, by release of 125I into the medium largely in the form of iodinated small peptides. |
