Studies on the ethanol-induced decrease of fatty acid oxidation in rat and human liver slices 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the acute ethanol-induced liver triglyceride accumulation, the oxidation, esterification and β-keto acid formation have been studied in rat and human liver slices after incubation with albumin bound, long chain fatty acids (palmitic. oleic and linoleic acids).The addition of alcohol to rat and human liver slices depressed the formation of 14CO2 from palmitic acid-1-14C, oleic acid-1-14C and linoleic acid-1-14C. The esterification to triglycerides and phospholipids was increased and the formation of β-keto acids was decreased by alcohol.Addition of 4-methylpyrazole, an inhibitor of liver alcohol dehydrogenase, almost prevented the alcohol effect on the lipid metabolism of the liver slices. The oxidation of alcohol is thus obligatory for the decreased β-oxidation of fatty acids, the increased esterification and for the decreased formation of β-keto acids. The results suggest that ethanol oxidation inhibits β-oxidation of fatty acids and that this primary effect leads to accumulation of liver triglycerides by increased esterification of plasma free fatty acids. 相似文献

Liver slices from control and inflamed rats were incubated in McCoy's medium and incorporation of [3H]leucine into liver and medium proteins and into albumin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein was monitored over 48 hr. The release of the new acute phase reactant, sialyltransferase was also monitored in this system. Earlier observations in which liver slices were incubated for 6 hr showed that increased leucine incorporation into liver and medium proteins and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, coupled with decreased incorporation into albumin, correlated with the acute phase response of these proteins. Increased incorporation of leucine into these proteins was found following 48 hr incubation in McCoy's medium showing that slices were able to express the changes characteristic of the acute phase response over this longer time period of incubation. Sialyltransferase was released into medium in a linear fashion up to 15 hr and continued to increase for 30 hr in this system; there was a substantial increase in release of enzyme activity from slices from inflamed rats when compared to controls. Monokine-conditioned medium prepared from peritoneal exudate cells isolated from rats at various times after lipopolysaccharide administration was used to induce the acute phase response by intraperitoneal injection. Slices were prepared from these rats and sialyltransferase release from slices was monitored. Monokines prepared from peritoneal exudate cells isolated from rats at about 30 hr were most effective in stimulating sialyltransferase release from liver slices. 相似文献

Summary A technique for the organ culture of postnatal and adult rat liver has been developed. Liver slices, 0.3 mm thick, were maintained
in Conway units at the interphase between medium and a 95% O2:5% CO2 atmosphere. Postnatal liver in culture for up to 72 h had healthy hepatocytes throughout the explants; if adult liver was
used the upper 0.2 mm was healthy after 24 h. These slices incorporated tritiated orotate and leucine into trichloroacetic
acid-precipitable material. Incorporation of orotate was shown to be spread over the entire slice of neonatal liver. Culturing
did not alter the potassium ion content of postnatal liver. Tyrosine aminotransferase activity in liver slices from postnatal,
adult, and adrenalectomized adult rats was stimulated by glucocorticoids and dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Cycloheximide and actinomycin
D prevented this response. Further, cortisol exerted a permissive effect on the stimulation of tyrosine aminotransferase activity
by dibutyryl cyclic AMP in slices from adrenalectomized rats. Induction of urea cycle enzymes by cortisol was demonstrated
in cultures of liver from adrenalectomized adult animals.

The cryopreservation of human liver slices is a promising way to enhance the ability to test the metabolism of drug candidates. This study demonstrates the use of a novel technique for the cryopreservation of both rat and human liver slices. In this technique the slices are treated with Me2SO and sandwiched between aluminum plates separated by a thin gasket. The device is then submerged in liquid nitrogen to freeze the slices, which can then be stored until use. To thaw the slices, the apparatus is submerged in a water bath at 37 degrees C. Slices frozen and thawed in this manner were compared to those frozen in conventional cryovials. The viability of the slices was determined by incubating them in 12-well plates and measuring urea synthesis, ethoxycoumarin metabolism, and cytosolic enzyme leakage (LDH and ALT). The viability of rat slices frozen between plates approached that of fresh slices and was consistently higher than slices frozen in cryovials. Slices from two human samples gave similar results. The technique was found to work over a wide range of Me2SO concentrations (4.5 to 22% was tested) with an optimal concentration between 10 and 15%. 相似文献

Methodological difficulties limit studies on cell protein catabolism both in intact animals and in vitro. We have studied the rate of protein degradation by measuring in vitro the release of acid-soluble radioactivity from rat liver slices and tested some factors that control the process. We found a rate of protein degradation of 6.5, or 2% per hr after 1 or 15 hrs of labelling in vivo during the first 90 min. These results indicate that a correlation exists between the rate of production of acid-soluble radioactivity by liver slices and the fast-or slow-turnover rate of the liver proteins. Cyanide and fluoride greatly inhibit the production of acid-soluble radioactivity from both slow- and fast-turnover proteins. Glucagon increases this production while insulin shows an opposite effect. Our preliminary investigations show that liver slices are a suitable surviving medium to study protein catabolism and its modifications under physiological and pathological stimuli. 相似文献
