Hepatocytes are an important physiological model for in vitro studies of drug metabolism and toxicity. However, fresh hepatocytes are not always available and hence cyopreservation is needed to preserve large quantities until they are needed for these applications. Hepatocytes are extremely sensitive to damage induced by the freeze–thaw process, even after addition of traditional cryoprotectants such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Furthermore, they do not proliferate in culture. We previously demonstrated that a crude wheat extract protects rat hepatocytes during cryopreservation and could provide a promising alternative to DMSO. We have considerably improved this novel cryopreservation procedure by using wheat extracts that are partially purified by either ammonium sulphate or acetone precipitation, or by using recombinant wheat freezing tolerance‐associated proteins such as WCS120, TaTIL, WCS19, and TaIRI‐2. These improved procedures enhance long‐term storage (2–12 months) and recovery of large quantities of healthy cells after cryopreservation, and maintain the differentiated functions of rat hepatocytes, compared to freshly isolated cells, as judged by viability (77–93%), adherence (77%) and metabolic functions of major cytochrome P450 isoforms CYP1A1/2, CYP2C6, CYP2D2, and CYP3A1/2. The advantage of using wheat proteins as cryopreservants is that they are non‐toxic, natural products that do not require animal serum, and are economical and easy to prepare. Biotechnol.

Transplantation of pancreatic islets for the treatment of diabetes mellitus is widely anticipated to eventually provide a cure once a means for preventing rejection is found without reliance upon global immunosuppression. Long-term storage of islets is crucial for the organization of transplantation, islet banking, tissue matching, organ sharing, immuno-manipulation and multiple donor transplantation. Existing methods of cryopreservation involving freezing are known to be suboptimal providing only about 50% survival. The development of techniques for ice-free cryopreservation of mammalian tissues using both natural and synthetic ice blocking molecules, and the process of vitrification (formation of a glass as opposed to crystalline ice) has been a focus of research during recent years. These approaches have established in other tissues that vitrification can markedly improve survival by circumventing ice-induced injury. Here we review some of the underlying issues that impact the vitrification approach to islet cryopreservation and describe some initial studies to apply these new technologies to the long-term storage of pancreatic islets. These studies were designed to optimize both the pre-vitrification hypothermic exposure conditions using newly developed media and to compare new techniques for ice-free cryopreservation with conventional freezing protocols. Some practical constraints and feasible resolutions are discussed. Eventually the optimized techniques will be applied to clinical allografts and xenografts or genetically-modified islets designed to overcome immune responses in the diabetic host. 相似文献

The action of substances with non-permeable cryoprotectant potential, besides glucose, has not yet been studied for the species Prochilodus brevis. The objective of this work was to evaluate the action of four non-permeable cryoprotectants on this species sperm cryopreservation. Five pools were cryopreserved in a solution of 5% glucose and 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) associated or not (control) with cryoprotectants egg yolk (5, 10 or 12%), soy lecithin (2.5, 7.5 or 10%), sucrose (5, 10 or 20%) and lactose (5, 8 or 15%). After thawing, samples were evaluated for sperm kinetics (total motility, motility duration, velocities, and wobble - WOB), morphology and membrane and DNA integrity. The treatments containing egg yolk improved significantly (P<0.05) results when compared the control for the membrane integrity parameter. When compared to other treatments, egg yolk, at any concentration, presented higher results (P<0.05) for membrane integrity, total motility, curvilinear velocity (VCL) and average path velocity (VAP) parameters. Egg yolk also showed the best results for WOB, but it did not differ from 5% and 8% lactose and 5% and 20% sucrose. Soy lecithin had the lowest percentages of morphologically normal sperm (P<0.05), while the other treatments did not differ from each other. There was no difference regarding DNA integrity data. Thus, 5% egg yolk is indicated as a non-permeable cryoprotectant for P. brevis, in association with 5% glucose and 10% Me2SO. 相似文献

Summary A simple yet effective method (iso-density percoll centrifugation) has been developed for consistently preparing isolated
rat liver parenchymal cells with over 98% initial viability. The method has been applied to cells isolated by a variety of
collagenase digestion techniques. This procedure involves the low-speed centrifugation (50 ×g) of the initial cell suspension through a percoll medium having a density of 1.06 g/ml and results in the separation of single
and viable parenchymal cells from cell aggregates, debris, and nonparenchymal cells. The enriched parenchymal cells have been
shown to be superior to untreated cells by a number of criteria including: preparation homogeneity, cell morphology, maintenance
of cytochrome P-450, hormonal responsiveness (measured by the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase after treatment with
glucagon or dexamethasone, or both), plasma membrane integrity (determined by both trypan blue exclusion and leakage of glutamic-oxaloacetic
transaminase), and the DNA repair capability after treatment with benzo[a]pyrene or 2-acetylaminofluorene.

The effects of cryopreservation and long-term storage on substrate-specific cytochrome P45O-dependent activities and unscheduled DNA synthesis were studied in freshly isolated and cryopreserved hepatocytes derived from adult male Fischer 344 and Sprague-Dawley rats. Primary rat hepatocytes were isolated via an in situ collagenase perfusion technique, cryopreserved at –196°C, and thawed at 5 weeks and 104 and 156 weeks post-freezing. In Fischer 344 and Sprague-Dawley rats, cryopreserved hepatocytes were equivalent or similar to freshly isolated hepatocytes in substrate-specific activities for 7-ethoxyresorufin-0-deethylase and dimethylnitrosamine-N-demethylase and unscheduled DNA synthesis responses. No significant differences in activities toward 7-ethoxyresorufin-0-deethylase and dimethylnitrosamine-N-demethylase, the substrate-specific activities for cytochromes P4501A1 and P4501A2 and cytochrome P4502E1, respectively, were observed between freshly isolated and cryopreserved hepatocytes. Similar unscheduled DNA synthesis responses, a measure of DNA damage and repair, were observed after exposure to the genotoxic carcinogens 2-acetylaminofluorene, 7,12-dimethyEbenz[a]anthracene, and dimethylnitrosamine; although some decreases were also observed in Fischer 344 hepatocytes after 104 weeks and Sprague-Dawley hepatocytes after 156 weeks in the highest concentrations tested. These results suggest that cryopreserved hepatocytes, stored for extended periods of time in liquid nitrogen, are metabolically equivalent to freshly isolated hepatocytes in their ability to activate precarcinogens.Abbreviations 2-AAF

Aldehyde dehydrogenase was measured in primary cultures of hepatocytes obtained with a two-step collagenase perfusion either from human hepatic tissue or from livers of Fisher rats. Basal enzyme activity declines gradually as a function of time in culture, but remains at all times higher when measured with propionaldehyde and NAD (P/NAD) than with benzaldehyde and NADP (B/NADP). Treatment of the cultures with 2 M of 3-methylcholanthrene for four days significantly increased the B-NADP activity of human and rat hepatocytes (tenfold and eightfold respectively). In human hepatocytes 3-methylcholanthrene increases also the P/NAD activity, but to a lesser extent (twofold), compared to the B/NADP activity. Due to the significant enhancement of B/NADP activity in cultures of human and rat hepatocytes after application of 3-methylcholanthrene, the initial difference in the basal activity levels between the P/NAD and B/NADP forms diminishes or, in the case of human hepatocytes, is even inverted. These results show for the first time that aldehyde dehydrogenase activity is increased in cultured human hepatocytes. This biochemical property is preserved in human and rat hepatocyte cultures, despite the rather quick loss of the basal aldehyde dehydrogenase activity.Abbreviations ALDH

A simple non-enzymatic method for the isolation of high yields of functional rat hepatocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A method for isolation of rat hepatocytes using liver perfusion by ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA)-containing sucrose solution and mechanical tissue disaggregation by controlled vibration (MVD) is described. The yields of hepatocytes produced by this method were similar to those obtained using collagenase perfusion. The cells had well preserved membrane integrity as judged by the trypan blue staining test (91 +/- 4%), ATP contents, rates of endogenous respiration and enzyme leakage that indicated they were functional cells. There was little evidence of expression of latent damage when the cells were stored either at 37 degrees C (by pre-incubation) or at 4 degrees C. This method can be used to isolate high yields of functional cells from rat liver if the collagenase perfusion technique is not available. 相似文献

Investigation of Functional and Morphological Integrity of Freshly Isolated and Cryopreserved Human Hepatocytes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
There is a pressing need for alternative therapeutic methods effective in the treatment of patients with liver insufficiency. Isolated human hepatocytes may be a viable alternative or adjunct to orthotopic liver transplantation in such patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability and functional integrity of freshly isolated and cryopreserved human hepatocytes, in preparation for a multi-center human hepatocyte transplantation trial. We are currently processing transplant-grade human parenchymal liver cells from nondiseased human livers that are obtained through a network of organ procurement organizations (OPOs). Thus far, sixteen hepatocyte transplants have been performed using hepatocytes processed by our methods. At the time of referral all specimens were deemed unsuitable for transplantation due to anatomical anomalies, high fat content, medical history, etc. Hepatocytes were isolated from encapsulated liver sections by a modified two-step perfusion technique. Isolated cells were cryopreserved and stored in liquid nitrogen for one to twelve months. The total yield of freshly isolated hepatocytes averaged 3.7×107 cells per gram of wet tissue. Based on trypan blue exclusion, fresh preparations contained an average of 85% viable hepatocytes vs. 70% in cryopreserved samples. The plating efficiencies of cells seeded immediately after isolation ranged from 87% to 98%, while those of cryopreserved/thawed cells were markedly lower. Flow cytometry analysis of cells labeled with 5,6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) showed that there was no significant difference in viability compared with trypan blue staining. Both freshly isolated hepatocytes and those recovered from cryopreservation showed typical and intact morphology as demonstrated by light and electron microscopy. The product of the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) reaction was always expressed more intensely in cultures of freshly isolated hepatocytes. Measurements of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage were inversely correlated with trypan blue exclusion and CFSE labeling. Energy status, evaluated by the intracellular ATP concentration measurements, and various liver-specific functions such as urea synthesis and metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin were maintained both in fresh and cryopreserved/thawed hepatocytes. However, the activities were expressed at different levels in thawed cells. These data illustrate the importance and feasibility of human hepatocyte banking. In addition, it is clear that further refinements in the methods of hepatocyte isolation and cryopreservation are needed to utilize more fully these valuable cells in the clinic. 相似文献

Viability and drug metabolism capacity of alginate-entrapped hepatocytes after cryopreservation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In the present study we evaluated viability and detoxifying enzyme capacity of cryopreserved hepatocytes from various species,
including man, immobilized in calcium alginate gels. Ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, phenacetin deethylase, pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylase, tolbutamide hydroxylase, S-mephenytoin hydroxylase, dextromethorphan demethylase, and nifedipine oxidation corresponding to the major cytochromes P450
(CYP) involved in xenobiotic metabolism as well as whole glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity were measured using specific substrates and after exposure or not to prototypical inducers. After
deep-freeze storage, viability of immobilized hepatocytes was only slightly reduced and most CYP-related monooxygenase activities
were well preserved, being expressed at levels close to those measured in unfrozen hepatocyte monolayers. By contrast, total
GST activity was decreased by around 50%. However, as did CYP1A- and 3A-related enzymes, rat GST remained capable of responding
to prototypical inducers. The fold increases were comparable in unfrozen and frozen immobilized hepatocytes and in unfrozen
hepatocyte monolayers. The duration of storage, even when exceeding one year, did not affect viability and functions. In conclusion,
after cryopreservation, alginate-entrapped hepatocytes remain highly viable and capable of expressing most detoxifying enzymes
at levels close to those expressed in corresponding unfrozen hepatocyte monolayers and of responding to prototypical inducers.

AIMS: To study the viability of Diploplastron (Metadinium) affine after its cryopreservation at two cooling rates, and the effect of procedure conditions on viability. METHODS AND RESULTS: There were differences in viability between cooling rates (1 and 4 degrees C min(-1)) at 15 or 5 degrees C, but not after thawing. When the equilibrium temperature (25 or 5 degrees C), the cryopreservant (glycerol or dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO]) and the use of membrane protector were tested, there were no differences caused by the cryopreservant or the membrane protector. However, the equilibrium at 25 degrees C increased the viability (P = 0.005) compared with 5 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: Viability after thawing was 0.10-0.19. Adding the cryopreservant (either glycerol or DMSO) at 25 degrees C instead of 5 degrees C improves viability of D. affine after thawing. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Conditions of cryopreservation are largely dependent on the species of rumen protozoa. Number of viable cells after thawing would indicate the possibility of culture recovery for D. affine. 相似文献

AIMS: To study the viability of a culture of the rumen protozoon Entodinium caudatum after a cryopreservation procedure by a fluorescence microscopy staining method. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fluorescence method is based on the different colour of cells depending on their membrane integrity. When the temperature effect was studied either by fluorescence or motility, the techniques were correlated (r = 0.727) and their slopes and intercepts were not different (P > 0.05). However, motility showed a higher variation coefficient (0.40 vs 0.12). There were no differences between cooling rates at cryopreservation (1 and 4 degrees C min-1) at 38, 15 or 5 degrees C, nor after thawing. CONCLUSIONS: Fluorescence staining is more accurate than motility for assessing protozoal viability. Viability after thawing was 0.50, and the number of viable cells per 250 microl straw was 320 and 420 for 1 and 4 degrees C min-1. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This cryopreservation procedure seems to ensure culture recovery for E. caudatum. 相似文献

In this study we used a peroxidase model system (glucose/glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase) to investigate the effect of extracellularly generated reactive metabolites of 3,5-Me2-acetaminophen on cell viability and on cellular thiol levels. Incubation of hepatocytes with 3,5-Me2-acetaminophen in the presence of glucose/glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase caused a concentration-dependent loss of cell viability. Loss of viability was associated with decreased protein thiol levels. Addition of the reducing agent DTT, but not catalase, during the incubation restored cellular protein thiol levels and arrested the cell killing. Protein thiol depletion occurred selectively to the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions and was specific for a very limited number of protein bands. The data suggest that the oxidative modification of individual protein cysteine residues within the latter two organelle fractions is critically involved in the mechanism of toxicity. 相似文献

Summary The specific performance of the adult hepatic parenchymal cell is maintained and controlled by factors deriving from the stromal
bed; the chemical nature of these factors is unknown. This study aimed to develop a serum-free hierarchical hepatocyte-nonparenchymal
(stromal) cell coculture system. Hepatic stromal cells proliferated on crosslinked collagen in serum-free medium with epidermal
growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and hepatocyte-conditioned medium; cell type composition changed during the
2-wk culture period. During the first wk, the culture consisted of proliferating sinusoidal endothelial cells with well-preserved
sieve plates, proliferating hepatic stellate cells, and partially activated Kupffer cells. The number of endothelial cells
declined thereafter; stellate cells and Kupffer cells became the prominent cell types after 8 d. Hepatocytes were seeded onto
stromal cells precultured for 4–14 d; they adhered to stellate and Kupffer cells, but spared the islands of endothelial cells.
Stellate cells spread out on top of the hepatocytes; Kupffer cell extensions established multiple contacts to hepatocytes
and stellate cells. Hepatocyte viability was maintained by coculture; the positive influence of stromal cell signals on hepatocyte
differentiation became evident after 48 h; a strong improvement of cell responsiveness toward hormones could be observed in
cocultured hepatocytes. Hierarchial hepatocyte coculture enhanced the glucagon-dependent increases in phosphoenolpyruvate
carboxykinase activity and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) content three- and twofold, respectively; glucagon-activated
urea production was elevated twofold. Coculturing also stimulated glycogen deposition; basal synthesis was increased by 30%
and the responsiveness toward insulin and glucose was elevated by 100 and 55%, respectively. The insulin-dependent rise in
the glucokinase mRNA content was increased twofold in cocultured hepatocytes. It can be concluded that long-term signals from
stromal cells maintain hepatocyte differentiation. This coculture model should, therefore, provide the technical basis for
the investigation of stroma-derived differentiation factors. 相似文献

A cooperative method was developed for collecting semen from a Magellanic penguin. Ejaculate parameters and semen production during a breeding season were characterized. Experiments were performed to study the effect on penguin spermatozoa of two temperatures (4°C and 21°C) for short‐term storage, and two cryoprotectants (dimethylsulfoxide [DMSO] and ethylene glycol [EG]) for long‐term storage (cryopreservation). All dilutions were made using modified Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender. Sperm quality was assessed by evaluating motility and forward progression (sperm motility index [SMI]), viability, and morphology. A total of 39 ejaculates was collected over the 40‐day study period. Thirty‐eight ejaculates contained spermatozoa, but semen quality decreased toward the end of the study period. Varying levels of urate contamination were present in all ejaculates. Sperm quality parameters were similar for diluted samples held at 4°C and 21°C, and samples maintained high numbers of viable (77.8 ± 5.4%) and morphologically normal (67.9 ± 2.5%) spermatozoa at 3 hr. SMI and percentage of viable sperm decreased (P < 0.05) and the number of spermatozoa with a bent head or midpiece increased (P < 0.05) for both temperature groups over the 3‐hr storage interval. DMSO and EG were equally effective in maintaining penguin sperm quality parameters during the cryopreservation and thawing process. Frozen‐thawed semen maintained 69 ± 5 and 78 ± 3% of its pre‐freeze SMI and viability, respectively. SMI and viability decreased slightly during the cooling and equilibration phases but remained relatively stable during the 3‐hr storage interval post‐thaw. Frozen‐thawed semen also exhibited an increase (P < 0.05) in spermatozoa with a bent head or midpiece over time. The pre‐freeze SMI was higher (P < 0.05) for ejaculates with low levels of urates (clean ejaculates) compared with ejaculates with high levels of urate contamination, but sperm viability and morphology were similar (P > 0.05). Both SMI and viability of frozen‐thawed spermatozoa were higher (P < 0.05) for clean than for contaminated ejaculates. This is the first report on penguin ejaculate parameters, semen production, and preliminary methods for short‐ and long‐term semen storage. Zoo Biol 18:199–214, 1999. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Summary Rat hepatocytes were isolated and then maintained in serum-free cell culture medium for 24 h. The amount of malondialdehyde
(MDA) accumulated in the medium was assayed and used as a measure of lipid peroxidation. The acivity of lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH) and urea were measured in the medium and used as indicators of hepatocellular viability and function. The effects of
iron; desferrioxamine mesylate (Desferal), an iron chelator; and mannitol, a hydroxyl free radical scavenger were investigated.
The addition of iron, Fe2 resulted in a three-fold increase in the levels of MDA. Desferal inhibited the production of MDA and blocked the effect of
Fe2+. Neither iron nor Desferal had any effect on LDH or urea levels. Mannitol had no effect on MDA or urea production, but caused
a 4 to 8-fold increase in the LDH levels in the medium. The results show that iron is involved in the mechanism of lipid peroxidation
in hepatocyte cultures but suggest that as a pathologic event lipid peroxidation is not expressed in terms of viability during
the first 24 h of hepatocyte culture. 相似文献

The activity of chemical-induced unscheduled DNA synthesis was evaluated in hepatocyte primary cultures from Fischer 344 and Sprague-Dawley rats over a period of two years. In this two-year study hepatocytes from both sexes and strains were prepared from animals 2, 8, 14, 20 and 25 months of age and UDS was measured by autoradiography following treatment with N-methyl-AP-vitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and 2-acetylaminofluorine. A dose-related positive response occurred for both compounds throughout the study in hepatocytes from male and female Fischer rats and male Sprague-Dawley rats. The magnitude of the response was greatest in hepatocytes from male Fischer rats and a markedly lower response in unscheduled DNA synthesis occurred in all cultures prepared from animals of both strains and sexes at 20 and 25 months of age. Hepatocytes from female Sprague-Dawley rats showed a low level of unscheduled DNA synthesis with N-methylN-vitro-N-nitrosoguanidine throughout the study. The most striking finding was the absence of a UDS response to 2-acetylaminofuorene by hepatocytes from Sprague-Dawley females at the 8, 14, 20 or 25 month periods. The results indicate an age-related decrease in chemical-induced unscheduled DNA synthesis activity among rats.Abbreviations 2AAF

Primary rat hepatocytes were cryopreserved in hormonally-defined medium (HDM) containing 40% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS)
and 10% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in liquid N2 for 6 months. After thawing, the cells were immobilized using 2% (w/v) alginate and 0.5% (w/v) chitosan solutions. The capacities
of ammonia removal and urea synthesis of the immobilized-thawed hepatocytes were similar to those of immobilized hepatocytes
without cryopreservation. This result shows that immobilized hepatocytes after cryopreservation are useful for the development
of a bioartificial liver system. 相似文献

Many potential applications of primary hepatocytes cultured on microcarriers, such as an artificial liver or hepatocyte transplantation, would benefit from having a large number of hepatocytes attached to each microcarrier. In addition, the supply of primary hepatocytes is usually limited, so the efficient utilization of hepatocytes during attachment to microcarriers is necessary. Several physical parameters involved in the attachment process have been investigated, and the number of cells attached per microcarrier and the fraction of hepatocytes which attach have been quantitatively monitored. Variation of the partial pressure of gas phase oxygen in the incubation flask produced significant effects on the attachment of hepatocytes to microcarriers, with higher partial pressures of oxygen found to be necessary for attachment. In addition, variation of fluid depth and cell number, both of which influence the partial pressure of oxygen at the cell surface, affected hepatocyte attachment. The partial pressure of oxygen at the cell surface as a function of the physical parameters was analyzed using a simple one-dimensional theoretical model. Variations in the cell-to-microcarrier ratio used for incubation indicate that a compromise must be made in terms of maximizing the number of cells per microcarrier and the fraction of total hepatocytes which attach. The maximum number of hepatocytes per microcarrier obtained in this work was approximately 100. The best attachment fraction, defined as the ratio of the number of hepatocytes attached to the total number added to the incubation, was approximately 90%. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Artificial insemination (AI) with cryopreserved boar semen is limited to no more than 1% of the total number of inseminations due to low conception rates and litter sizes. Cryopreservation causes a dramatic decrease in the viability, motility and fertility of spermatozoa, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, mRNA expression and protein levels of epigenetic-related genes (Dnmt3a, Dnmt3b, Jhdm2a, Kat8, Prm1, Prm2 and IGF2) in fresh and cryopreserved boar spermatozoa were evaluated using qRT-PCR and ELISA. The results showed that cryopreservation or freezing, which drastically alter the environmental stimuli, can induce epigenetic changes of boar spermatozoa. Dramatic changes of mRNA expression of epigenetic-related genes were observed before and after cryopreservation, and low protein levels of multiple genes were mainly found in program freezing groups with or without LEY. The addition of different cryoprotective agents to the freezing extender can provide better protective effects for boar spermatozoa to avoid freezing or cryopreservation-induced expression changes of epigenetic-related genes. 相似文献
