Effects of organic anions on biliary lipid secretion in rats. Importance of association with biliary lipid structures.

ABSTRACT: This study was performed to determine the effects of various organic anions on biliary lipid secretion in rats. We infused bile-salt-pool-depleted rats with sodium taurocholate at a constant rate, with or without various organic anions: Indocyanine Green (ICG), bromosulphophthalein (BSP), BSP-glutathione and Phenol Red (PR). BSP decreased biliary secretion of cholesterol and phospholipids in a dose-dependent manner without affecting bile salt secretion (uncoupling), and this change was fully reversible. In contrast, ICG, BSP-glutathione and PR did not cause such an uncoupling of biliary lipids. In addition, the distribution pattern of each organic anion to various lipid particles was determined by gel-permeation chromatography. BSP was predominantly associated with bile salt micelles, whereas vesicular association was dominant for ICG, and both BSP-glutathione and PR formed only self-aggregations. From these data, we concluded that the uncoupling of biliary lipids from bile salt secretion by BSP resulted from the interaction between BSP and bile salt micelles in the bile canaliculus, and that this interaction inhibited the capacity of bile salts to induce the secretion of phospholipids and cholesterol.

Passive Permeability of Planar Lipid Bilayers to Organic Anions.

Project description:The membrane permeability P of organic ions was reported to be governed by the structure of the permeating molecule. Thus far, it is unclear whether the ion structure alters membrane partition or translocation proper across the membrane. Here, we obtained P values for 24 anionic compounds (18 concrete values, 6 upper limits) measuring the current that they carry through folded planar lipid bilayers. The P values range over more than 10 log units. Our measured permeability values correlate well (r = 0.95; logRMSE 0.74) with the hexadecane/water partition coefficients of the respective chemicals predicted by the COSMO-RS theory. Other attempts to predict P from the partition coefficient of the neutral molecule and from the solvation energy (Born energy) that opposes transfer into the membrane once the molecule is charged were unsuccessful. The uncertainties in assigning an effective radius to nonspherical molecules were much too large. The observation underlines that the actual structure of the molecules needs to be considered to predict partition and thus P by the solubility-diffusion model.

Biliary lipid secretion and its control. Effect of taurodehydrocholate.

Project description:Multiple short pulses of taurocholate (TC) brought about, in isolated perfused rat livers, the secretion of phospholipid and cholesterol into bile; the lipids showed an appreciable lag period behind the bile-salt secretion, and there was considerable variability in response, both between low and high dose pulses of TC and, at the higher dose, even between individual livers. When a background continuous infusion of taurodehydrocholate (a hydrophilic non-micelle-forming bile-salt analogue) was superimposed upon the short TC pulses, the lipid secretion showed much better control, and the lipid peaks were of more uniform size, following more closely, or more coincident with, the bile-salt output peaks. Taurodehydrocholate may provide a signal for the control of the supply and delivery of lipid vesicles to the bile-canalicular membrane, from where the lipid vesicles are then removed by the action of the pulses of TC.

Partial characterization of regulation of biliary lecithin hydrophobicity: association with organic anion-induced solute cholestasis in rats.

Project description:We examined the effects of the depletion of bile salts and of the intravenous infusion of sodium taurocholate (STC) with or without bromosulphophthalein (BSP) in rats on the biliary secretion of lipids to clarify the regulatory mechanism(s). Each rat was equipped with a bile-duct cannula to collect bile. After the endogenous bile salt pool was depleted, STC was infused at a constant rate (160 nmol/min per 100 g body wt.) with or without BSP (50, 100, or 150 nmol/min per 100 g body wt.). BSP reduced the biliary secretion of cholesterol and phospholipids dose-dependently without affecting the secretion of bile salts (uncoupling phenomenon). Compared with the physiological and STC-infused condition, the biliary cholesterol/phospholipid ratio and saturated/unsaturated fatty acid ratio increased under the bile salts depletion and uncoupling phenomenon. Data indicate that the hydrophobicity of biliary lecithin increases with a decrease in the bile salt micelle capacity to induce biliary lipid secretion, resulting in a higher packing density of biliary vesicle. The cholesterol-holding capacity of the biliary vesicle is therefore enhanced during the depletion of bile salts and the uncoupling phenomenon.

Species variations in the threshold molecular-weight factor for the biliary excretion of organic anions.

Project description:1. The excretion in the bile and urine after intravenous injection of 16 organic anions having molecular weights between 355 and 752 was studied in female rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. 2. These compounds were mostly excreted unchanged, except for three of them, which were metabolized to a slight extent (<7% of dose). 3. The rat excreted all the compounds extensively (22-90% of dose) in the bile. 4. In guinea pigs four of the compounds with mol.wt. 355-403 were excreted in the bile to the extent of 7-16% of the dose, four with mol.wt. 407-465 to the extent of 25-44% and eight compounds with mol.wt. 479-752 to the extent of 44-100%. 5. In rabbits four compounds with mol.wt. 355-465 were excreted in the bile to the extent of 1-8% of the dose, two compounds with mol.wt. 479 and 495 to the extent of 24 and 22%, and six compounds with mol.wt. 505-752 to the extent of 31-94%. 6. These results, together with those of other investigations from this laboratory, are discussed and the conclusion is reached that there is a threshold molecular weight for appreciable biliary excretion (i.e. more than 10% of dose) of anions, which varies with species: about 325+/-50 for the rat, 400+/-50 for the guinea pig and 475+/-50 for the rabbit. 7. Anions with molecular weights greater than about 500 are extensively excreted in the bile of all three species. 8. That proportion of the dose of these compounds which is not excreted in the bile is excreted in the urine, and in the three species, bile and urine are complementary excretory pathways, urinary excretion being greatest for the compounds of lowest molecular weight and tending to decrease with increasing molecular weight. 9. Some implications of this interspecies variation in the molecular-weight requirement for extensive biliary excretion are discussed.

Modulation of biliary lipid secretion by forskolin and cyclic AMP analogues.

Project description:Exposure of isolated perfused rat livers to either 100 microM-forskolin, a potent activator of adenylate cyclase, or to 0.5 mM-concentrations of the cAMP analogues chlorophenylthio cAMP (CPTcAMP), dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) and 8-bromo cAMP (8BrcAMP), to provoke increases in intracellular concentrations of cAMP, resulted in marked changes in bile volume and composition. Bile flow reached a peak after 10 min, before declining towards control levels, and an increase in several secretory parameters was also observed at this time. At 20 min, a substantial decrease in the output of both phospholipid and cholesterol was evident, and this suppression of secretion was maintained throughout the remainder of the experiment. The order of effectiveness of the cAMP-elevating agents at decreasing biliary lipid output was CPTcAMP greater than forskolin greater than dbcAMP greater than 8BrcAMP. Biliary output of bile acids was essentially unaltered compared with controls; similarly, no decrease in the secretion of protein and triacylglycerols into the perfusion medium was observed. This suggests that the elevation of intracellular levels of cAMP may cause a selective inhibition of biliary lipid output rather than a more general inhibition of hepatic secretion.

Partial characterization of mechanism(s) by which sulphobromophthalein reduces biliary lipid secretion.

Project description:This study was performed to explore the mechanisms by which sulphobromophthalein (BSP) reduces the secretion of biliary lipid using Sprague-Dawley rats (SDR) and mutant rats with congenital conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia bred from SDR (EHBR). We infused the bile-salt-pool-depleted rats with sodium taurocholate at a constant rate of 160 nmol/min per 100 g body wt. with BSP (12.5, 25 and 50 nmol/min per 100 g body wt.) or BSP-GSH (12.5, 25 and 50 nmol/min per 100 g body wt.). The biliary secretion of BSP and BSP-GSH was markedly impaired in EHBR as compared with that in SDR. BSP reduced the biliary secretion of cholesterol and phospholipids in a dose-dependent manner without affecting the secretion of bile salts and composition of fatty acids in phospholipids in SDR, but had no effect on lipid secretion in EHBR. In contrast, BSP-GSH had no such effect on biliary lipids, either in the SDR or EHBR. In addition, the amount of BSP in the liver of EHBR was in the same range as that of SDR. Therefore it is unlikely that an intracellular mechanism is involved in the phenomenon of uncoupling by BSP. We conclude that the uncoupling of biliary lipids from bile-salt secretion by BSP occurs at the level of the bile canaliculus following the secretion of unconjugated BSP.

Selective biliary lipid secretion at low bile-salt-output rates in the isolated perfused rat liver. Effects of phalloidin.

Project description:At high bile-salt-secretion rates the biliary secretion of phospholipids and cholesterol is dependent on that of the bile salts. However, at low bile-salt outputs some secretion remains. Isolated perfused rat livers were used in these experiments in order to study the bile-salt-independent secretion of biliary lipids. The livers were isolated and saline (0.9% NaCl), or phalloidin dissolved in saline, was added to the perfusion fluid after 1 h of liver isolation. The concentration and output of cholesterol was significantly decreased in phalloidin-treated livers compared with the controls, whereas there was no significant decrease in phospholipids; the secretion of cholesterol and phospholipids can thus be uncoupled from each other by the action of phalloidin. These experiments suggest that a proportion of cholesterol gets into bile independently of bile salts and phospholipids. These findings are discussed in relation to the supersaturation of some biles with cholesterol and its relationship to the bile-salt-independent fraction of cholesterol.

Effects of Caffeine Treatment on Hepatopulmonary Syndrome in Biliary Cirrhotic Rats.

Project description:Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a lethal complication of cirrhosis characterized by hypoxia and overt intrapulmonary shunting. In this study, we investigated the effect of caffeine in rats with common bile duct ligation (CBDL)-induced liver cirrhosis and HPS. CBDL rats were randomly allocated to receive caffeine or vehicle for 14 days. On the 28th day after CBDL, mortality rate, hemodynamics, liver, and renal biochemistry parameters and arterial blood gas analysis were evaluated. Lung and liver were dissected for the evaluation of inflammation, angiogenesis and protein expressions. In another series with parallel groups, the intrapulmonary shunting was determined. Caffeine significantly reduced portal pressure (caffeine vs. control: 10.0 ± 3.7 vs. 17.0 ± 8.1 mmHg, p < 0.05) in CBDL rats. The mortality rate, mean arterial pressure, biochemistry data and hypoxia were similar between caffeine-treated and control groups. Caffeine alleviated liver fibrosis and intrahepatic angiogenesis but intrapulmonary inflammation and angiogenesis were not ameliorated. The hepatic VEGF/Rho-A protein expressions were down-regulated but the pulmonary inflammation- and angiogenesis-related protein expressions were not significantly altered by caffeine. Caffeine did not reduce the intrapulmonary shunting, either. Caffeine has been shown to significantly improve liver fibrosis, intrahepatic angiogenesis and portal hypertension in cirrhotic rats, however, it does not ameliorate HPS.

Sleeve gastrectomy in rats improves postprandial lipid clearance by reducing intestinal triglyceride secretion.

Project description:Postprandial hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for atherosclerotic heart disease and is associated with the consumption of high-fat diets and obesity. Bariatric surgeries result in superior and more durable weight loss than dieting. These surgeries are also associated with multiple metabolic improvements, including reduced plasma lipid levels. We investigated whether the beneficial effects of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) on plasma lipid levels are weight independent.VSG was performed on Long-Evans rats with diet-induced obesity. Controls were sham-operated animals who were either pair-fed or ad libitum-fed. We measured fasting and postprandial levels of plasma lipid. To determine hepatic and intestinal triglyceride secretion, we injected the lipase inhibitor poloxamer 407 alone or before oral lipid gavage. (13)C-Triolein was used to estimate postprandial uptake of lipid in the intestine.Rats that received VSG and high-fat diets had markedly lower fasting levels of plasma triglyceride, cholesterol, and phospholipid than obese and lean (pair-fed) controls that were fed high-fat diets. Rats that received VSG had a marked, weight-independent reduction in secretion of intestinal triglycerides. VSG did not alter total intestinal triglyceride levels or size of the cholesterol storage pool nor did it affect the expression of genes in the intestine that control triglyceride metabolism and synthesis. VSG did not affect fasting secretion of triglyceride, liver weight, hepatic lipid storage, or transcription of genes that regulate hepatic lipid processing.VSG reduced postprandial levels of plasma lipid, independently of body weight. This resulted from reduced intestinal secretion of triglycerides following ingestion of a lipid meal and indicates that VSG has important effects on metabolism.

Anions for Near-Infrared Selective Organic Salt Photovoltaics.

Project description:Organic molecular salts are an emerging and highly tunable class of materials for organic and transparent photovoltaics. In this work, we demonstrate novel phenyl borate and carborane-based anions paired with a near-infrared (NIR)-selective heptamethine cation. We further explore the effects of anion structures and functional groups on both device performance and physical properties. Changing the functional groups on the anion significantly alters the open circuit voltage and yields a clear dependence on electron withdrawing groups. Anion exchange is also shown to selectively alter the solubility and film surface energy of the resulting molecular salt, enabling the potential fabrication of solution-deposited cascade or multi-junction devices from orthogonal solvents. This study further expands the catalog and properties of organic salts for inexpensive, and stable NIR-selective molecular salt photovoltaics.
