Electron microscopy applied in experiments on white mice has demonstrated the presence of vacuoles containing collagen fibers in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes during reverse development of liver cirrhosis. As the organ regenerated, the number of vacuoles with decomposing collagen in the hepatocytes and the number of phagocytosing hepatocytes increased. Based on the data obtained the conclusion is made that during reverse development of liver cirrhosis one can observe the phenomenon of intracellular resorption of collagen by hepatocytes by means of collagen phagocytosis. 相似文献

The distribution of acid phosphatase in liver cirrhosis, as well as in its reverse development, was investigated in mice using histochemistry and electron histochemistry methods. Histochemistry demonstrated a sharp activity increase of acid phosphatase (as compared with the same in the material of partial hepatectomy) in liver cells (especially hepatocytes) during liver cirrhosis regression 10 days after a partial hepatectomy. Electron histochemistry has shown the enzyme withdraw out of hepatocytes and connective tissue cells of fibrotic stratum in the extra-cell medium. The reaction product localized on the neighbouring collagen fibres giving evidence that during reverse development of liver cirrhosis the lisosomal enzyme release from specified cells by means of exocytosis and they are involved in the lysis of collagen. 相似文献

Electron microscopy and electron histochemistry (exposure to acid phosphatase) were used to study the mechanisms of extracellular degradation of collagen in the liver during involution of experimental cirrhosis. The following results were obtained: extracellular secretion of lysosomal enzymes from hepatocytes and connective tissue cells takes place in liver cirrhosis and its involution; partial hepatectomy during liver cirrhosis stimulates the activity of acid phosphatase in the liver cells; the lysosomal enzymes, excreted from hepatocytes and connective tissue cells by means of exocytosis take an active part in collagen extracellular degradation in vivo; at initial stages of cirrhosis involution extracellular degradation of collagen in the liver occurs at the expense of lysosomal enzymes from hepatocytes and connective tissue cells. Subsequently, as cirrhosis regresses, the principal role in the lysis of collagen gradually passes to lysosomal enzymes of hepatocytes. 相似文献

Changes in the total activity of acid phosphatase in the liver as well as changes in the enzyme activity in hepatocytes and connective tissue cells of fibrosis layers were investigated, using quantitative histochemical method, in the process of mouse cirrhosis involution. After discontinuation of CCl4 injection, the animals with cirrhosis were divided into two groups. In the first group the resection of the left lobe of the liver was performed. The animals of the second group were not subject to operation. The results demonstrate that there is a close correlation between lysosomal hydrolase activity of hepatocytes and connective tissue cells of the liver and collagen resorption during cirrhosis involution. The most intensive lysis of collagen takes place within the first three weeks of cirrhosis involution in both experimental groups. Partial resection in cirrhosis has no significant effect on the changes and level of total activity of lysosomal hydrolase enzymes in the liver during cirrhosis involution. 相似文献

Intracellular and extracellular activity of cathepsin D in the liver in cirrhosis and its involution
V V Ryvniak V S Gudumak E S Onia 《Biulleten' eksperimental'no? biologii i meditsiny》1990,109(2):199-200
The distribution of cathepsin D in liver with CCl4 induced cirrhosis and its involution in rats was investigated by ultrastructural cytochemistry. Besides intracellular, it was revealed the extracellular activity of cathepsin D. The reaction product was on collagen fibers near the hepatocytes and connective tissue cells as well as on the hepatocytes microvilli and on the outside part of cellular membrane of connective tissue cells (macrophage, fibroblast, Ito cells). Hence the source of extracellular cathepsin D in liver are the parenchymatous as well as nonparenchymal cell elements. The results testify that under the cirrhosis and its involution, the cathepsin D takes part in intracellular proteolysis and is secreted by hepatocytes and connective tissue cells in the intracellular space; it also takes part in extracellular catabolism of connective tissue. 相似文献

Experiments on mice have demonstrated ultrastructural changes in collagen and hepatocytes during reverse development of liver cirrhosis. Progressive lysis of collagenous fibers has been noted. Changes in hepatocytes point to a rise in the synthetic and endocytosis activity in these cells. It is suggested that exocellular lysis of collagen in the process under consideration is initiated by collagenase whereas subsequently it takes place under the action of lysosomal enzymes secreted by hepatocytes to the exocellular space. 相似文献

In order to explore the cellular source(s) and the behaviour of the collagenolytic activity previously described in rat liver homogenates, in the reversibility of experimental cirrhosis of the liver, enriched suspensions of hepatocytes and of sinusoidal liver cells were obtained by a procedure which employs low EDTA concentrations and no bacterial collagenase. Cell suspensions were prepared from three different groups of animals: 1) normal controls, 2) rats with CCl4-induced cirrhosis of the liver, and 3) rats with swine serum-induced cirrhosis of the liver. Animals were sacrificed in each group upon completion of treatment and also after 3, 6 and 12 months. In each liver wet weight and collagen concentration were determined, and collagenolytic activity of both enriched cell suspensions was measured separately. In addition, histological studies of liver tissue and ultrastructural examination of cell suspensions were performed by standard procedures. Enriched suspensions of both normal hepatocytes and sinusoidal liver cells display Ca2(+)-dependent collagenolytic activities. Both cell suspensions obtained from each of the two types of cirrhotic livers show normal or slightly increased average levels of collagenase activity at the time of treatment discontinuation, when average liver collagen content ranges from 6 to 10-fold over normal, suggesting that the normal collagenase/collagen ratio is disturbed and that collagenolytic activity is deeply decreased in relation to the actual liver collagen load.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The contents of type I, type III and type V collagen and the collagen type specific distributions in liver under normal and cirrhotic conditions were examined. In CCl4 injected rat, the increasing amount of type V collagen was a specific event during the progression of cirrhosis. In normal liver, immunohistochemical observation showed that type V collagen was localized on the fine fibrils, while type I was localized on the thick fibril. Type V collagen was partially colocalized with type IV collagen. In the cirrhotic liver, type V collagen was localized on the margin of the thick fibrous septa along with type IV collagen. Type I collagen existed in the core region of fibrous septa where the stellate cells were prominent. To elucidate the mechanism of the type specific deposition of collagen in the liver, we constructed a coculture system using both stellate cells and hepatocytes. In this system, type V collagen was mainly deposited on hepatocyte colonies not on stellate cells, while type I collagen fibrils were localized on stellate cells. The spatial positioning of type I and type V collagens in vitro was similar to that in the liver. In the cell adhesion assay, the adhesion of stellate cells to type V collagen was poorer than that of the hepatocytes. The collagen type-specific affinity of the stellate cells and hepatocytes may explain the specific localization of type V collagen in the liver and coculture system. These results suggested that the functions of type V collagen are not only to connect type IV collagen with type I collagen fibril, but also to protect the parenchyma from excess type I collagen deposition produced by stellate cells under pathological conditions. 相似文献

Cirrhosis is a life-threatening condition that is generally attributed to overproduction of collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix that mechanically stiffens the liver. Chronic liver injury due to causes including viral hepatitis, inherited and metabolic liver diseases and external factors such as alcohol abuse can result in the development of cirrhosis. Progression of cirrhosis leads to hepatocellular dysfunction. While extensive studies to understand the complexity underlying liver fibrosis have led to potential application of anti-fibrotic drugs, no such FDA-approved drugs are currently available. Additional studies of hepatic fibrogenesis and cirrhosis primarily have focused on the extracellular matrix, while hepatocyte biomechanics has received limited attention. The role of hepatocyte biomechanics in liver cirrhosis remains elusive, and how the cell stiffness is correlated with biological functions of hepatocytes is also unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that the biomechanical properties of hepatocytes are correlated with their functions (e.g., glucose metabolism), and that hepatic dysfunction can be restored through modulation of the cellular biomechanics. Furthermore, our results indicate the hepatocyte functionality appears to be regulated through a crosstalk between the Rho and Akt signaling. These novel findings may lead to biomechanical intervention of hepatocytes and the development of innovative tissue engineering for clinical treatment to target liver cells rather than exclusively focusing on the extracellular matrix alone in liver cirrhosis. 相似文献

Ultrastructural peculiarities of hepatocytes and Kupffer's cells in rats during the spontaneous reversibility of the experimental cirrhosis of the liver under the usual conditions and also under the influence of exogenous RNA, administered by different methods, were studied. The changes in cell ultrastructure proved to correlate with those of the quantitative indices of the protein synthesizing the liver function during the hepatic cirrhosis reversibility. A positive role of the RNA influence of short duration on the intracellular reparative hepatocytes regeneration, and a negative one in case of RNA influence of long duration was revealed. Participation in the resorption of collagen both of the parenchymal cells and of the stroma was shown. 相似文献

By cytofluorometric method, a study was made of the total glycogen and its two fractions in liver parenchymal cells both in the donors (20 men) and in patients with cirrhosis of different etiology (39 men). The examination was performed on preparations--smears of isolated hepatocytes, obtained from the live functional liver biopsies. The quantitative analysis has shown an increase in the total glycogen content in hepatocytes of patients with cirrhosis by 3 times compared to the norm, and this increase is independent on the etiology of liver cirrhosis. To study the mechanism of the discovered glycogenosis, the activity of key enzymes of glycogenolyses was determined. It was shown that glucose-6-phosphatase and glycogen-phosphorylase activity in the liver with cirrhosis was lower than in the norm. The most considerable changes were shown in hepatocytes of patients with liver cirrhosis in fractional glycogen composition and, even more significant, in the content of a hard soluble fraction. The hard soluble fraction portion was higher in hepatocytes of the patients with liver cirrhosis of alcohol etiology. The quantitative analysis of glycogen fraction contents in liver cells may be the best marker in the differential diagnosis of symptomless elapsing liver cirrhosis. 相似文献

Rat hepatocytes were transformed by simian virus 40 (SV40). Hepatocytes from two different strains of rats and a temperature-sensitive mutant (SV40tsA 1609), as well as wild-type virus were used. In all cases, transformed cells arose from approximately 50% of the cultures containing hepatocytes on collagen gels or a collagen gel-nylon mesh substratum. Cells did not proliferate in mock-infected cultures. SV40-transformed hepatocytes were epithelial in morphology, retained large numbers of mitochondria, acquired an increased nucleus to cytoplasm ratio, and contained cytoplasmic vacuoles. Evidence that these cells were transformed by SV40 came from the findings that transformants were 100% positive for SV40 tumor antigen expression, and that SV40 was rescued when transformed hepatocytes were fused with monkey cells. All SV40-transformed cell lines tested formed clones in soft agarose. Several cell lines transformed by SV40tsA 1609 were temperature dependent for colony formation on plastic dishes. Transformants were diverse in the expression of characteristic liver gene functions. Of eight cell lines tested, one secreted 24% of total protein as albumin, which was comparable to albumin production by freshly plated hepatocytes; two other cell lines produced 4.2 and 5.7%, respectively. Tyrosine aminotransferase activity was present in five cell lines tested but was inducible by dexamethasone treatment in only two. We conclude from these studies that adult, nonproliferating rat hepatocytes are competent for virus transformation. 相似文献

L-Proline supplementation of the medium for collagen gel cultures of hepatocytes has been shown to improve albumin secretion. A study was made as to whether L-proline is also essential for the maintenance of xenobiotic biotransformation capacities in collagen gel sandwich and immobilisation cultures of rat and human hepatocytes. Key phase I (cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase [CYP)] and microsomal epoxide hydrase [mEH]) and phase II (glutathione S-transferase [GST]) biotransformation enzyme activities and the secretion of albumin in the culture medium were assessed in the absence and presence of L-proline. CYP and mEH activities were not affected by the addition of L-proline, whereas phase II alpha-Class GST activity of rat hepatocytes in collagen cultures was decreased. Species differences were demonstrated, as human hepatocytes showed a better maintenance of GST activities than their rat counterparts in the presence of L-proline. Albumin secretion, often considered to be a marker for differentiated cell function, does not parallel the biotransformation capacities of the hepatocytes in culture. Additional results demonstrated an L-proline-mediated enhancement of the proliferation rate of contaminating stellate cells in conventional monolayer culture. Transdifferentiation of stellate cells to proliferating myofibroblasts, along with an increased albumin secretion and collagen synthesis, are characteristic of fibrotic liver. Since the last two phenomena have been observed in L-proline-supplemented collagen gel cultures, it can be concluded that when stable collagen gel cultures of rat hepatocytes are needed for long-term pharmacotoxicological studies, it is preferable to use an L-proline-free culture medium. Further studies on medium optimisation are required for hepatocytes from species other than rat. 相似文献

Human urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene administration via an adenoviral (Ad)-vector induced cirrhosis regression and ameliorated hepatic dysfunction in a model of experimental liver cirrhosis. The administration of a single dose of 6 x 10(11) viral particles per kilogram of a clinical-grade Ad-vector was evaluated after the onset of rat liver cirrhosis via degradation of deposited collagen and a substantial decrease of alpha-sma-positive cells. Also, gene expression for pro-fibrogenic molecules (Col I, III, IV, TIMP-1 and PAI-1) was clearly down-regulated. In contrast, gene expression for collagen-degrading enzymes such as MMP-13 and MMP-2 was up-regulated. These events correlated with increased amounts of proteic free-TIMP-1, i.e. non-complexed with metalloproteinases (MMPs), indicating the presence of higher amounts of active MMPs inside the liver of cirrhotic animals treated with Ad-huPA. The harmonized and concerted expression of HGF and c-met resulted in exacerbated hepatocyte proliferation, although these events did not induce an abnormal liver growth. Angiogenesis, i.e. formation of new blood vessels, was evaluated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression which was notably detected to be 10 times higher during the first 6 days after Ad-huPA-treatment in cirrhotic animals as compared with controls. These events provide a clearer rationale as to how Ad-huPA-induced liver regeneration on CCl(4)-induced liver fibrosis takes place. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the morphology and matrix synthesis of embryonic rat liver cells (day 18 of gestation) in organoid cultures (high density cultures) with electron microscopic and immunomorphological techniques. For this purpose the cells of embryonic rat livers were isolated enzymatically and grown in an organoid culture (high density culture) for 3 weeks in a Trowell system. During the first 48 h a sorting-out process took place, i.e. liver and blood-forming cells met to form aggregates. In between mesenchymal cells were seen. Vessel-like cavities developed. Electron microscopic inspection of the hepatocytes did not reveal any lesions of the cell organelles after 14 days in culture. As late as after a 3-week culture period mitochondrial swellings and an increased number of autophagic vacuoles were observed. A rim of collagenous fibrils or fibrillar bundles and granular matrix structures was perceptible as early as after 7 days in culture. Immunofluorescence microscopic techniques revealed collagen types III, IV and VI as well as laminin, nidogen, heparansulfate-proteoglycan and fibronectin in these areas. Thus, the composition of the matrix in this culture system corresponds (apart from the absence of collagen type I) to the embryonic situation. Therefore, the organoid culture appears to be an appropriate technique to study the behaviour of hepatocytes in vitro. It is especially suited to demonstrate the formation of matrix components in liver cells and their extracellular occurrence. 相似文献

Summary The hepatocytes of 15 liver biopsies from 13 patients suffering from nonhemolytic constitutional jaundice were studied with respect to the presence of mitochondria with fibrillary inclusions or with vacuoles and to the presence of «paracrystalline cytoplasmic inclusions».Intramitochondrial fibrillary inclusions were found in all cases in quite various proportions, from 1 to 45% of the observed organelles. Intramitochondrial vacuoles were less frequent: they were observed only in three cases, and in one case only in more than 10% of the organelles. Mugnaini's paracrystalline inclusions, dispersed in the cytoplasm of the hepatocytes without outer membranes, were abundant in two cases.None of these morphological characters could be considered as pathognomonic and their origin is unknown: nevertheless their repartition in human liver in pathological conditions seems worthy of further study.

Saikosaponin-d attenuates the development of liver fibrosis by preventing hepatocyte injury. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Treatment of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis remains a challenging field. Hepatocyte injury and the activation of hepatic stellate cells are the 2 major events in the development of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. It is known that several Chinese herbs have significant beneficial effects on the liver; therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of saikosaponin-d (SSd) on liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. A rat model of liver fibrosis was established using the dimethylnitrosamine method. Liver tissue and serum were used to examine the effect of SSd on liver fibrosis. A hepatocyte culture was also used to investigate how SSd can protect hepatocytes from oxidative injury induced by carbon tetrachloride. The results showed that SSd significantly reduced collagen I deposition in the liver and alanine aminotransferase level in the serum. Moreover, SSd decreased the content of TGF-beta1 in the liver, which was significantly elevated after dimethylnitrosamine induced liver fibrosis. Furthermore, SSd was able to alleviate hepatocyte injury from oxidative stress. In conclusion, SSd could postpone the development of liver fibrosis by attenuating hepatocyte injury. 相似文献

The ultrastructural localization of copper, zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn-SOD) in the liver of patients with acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and alcoholic fatty liver was studied by means of the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. In hepatocytes Cu, Zn-SOD was found to be localized in perinuclear cisternae, rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), vesicles and Golgi apparatus. The Cu, Zn-SOD was also detected around the lipid droplets in hepatocytes as well as on the cytoplasmic membrane in cases of liver cirrhosis. These findings suggest that Cu, Zn-SOD is produced in the rER in hepatocytes and protects the cells from cellular injury caused by superoxide anion radical in various disorders of the liver. 相似文献

We have employed in situ hybridization to evaluate the molecular mechanisms responsible for hypoalbuminemia and increased liver collagen content in murine schistosomiasis. Results were compared using a simplified method of hybridizing isolated hepatocytes from Schistosoma mansoni-infected and normal mouse liver with mouse albumin (pmalb-2) and chick pro-alpha 2(l) collagen (pCg45) probes. Whereas hepatocytes from infected mice showed significantly less albumin mRNA than hepatocytes from control, there were more grains of procollagen mRNA in hepatocytes from infected as compared with control liver. Hybridization of infected liver tissue sections with the collagen probe showed more grains per field in granulomas than in liver regions, whereas with the albumin probe there was more hybridization in liver tissue than in granulomas. These results suggest that in murine schistosomiasis a reduction in albumin mRNA sequence content may be associated with decreased albumin synthesis and ultimately leads to hypoalbuminemia. In addition, although the granuloma seems to be the primary source of type I collagen synthesis, hepatocytes are also capable of synthesizing collagen, especially under fibrogenic stimulation. 相似文献
