The uptake and metabolism of chylomicron-remnant lipids by rat liver parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells in vitro.

ABSTRACT: The uptake and metabolism of chylomicron-remnant lipids by individual liver cell types was examined by incubating remnants with monolayer cultures of hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, and endothelial cells from rat liver. Remnants were prepared in vitro from radiolabelled mesenteric-lymph chylomicra, utilizing either purified lipoprotein lipase from bovine milk, or plasma isolated from heparinized rats. The resulting particles contained [3H]phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol, and [14C]oleate in the acylglycerol, phospholipid, fatty-acid and cholesterol-ester fractions. The capacities of the three cell types for uptake of both [3H]lipids and [14C]lipids were determined to be, on a per-cell basis, in the order: Kupffer greater than hepatocytes greater than endothelial. The relative proportions of [3H]phospholipid and total [3H]cholesterol taken up by hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells remained constant with time. The uptake of [14C]oleoyl lipids by all three cell types was slightly greater than that of the total [3H]cholesterol and [3H]phospholipid components. There was evidence of cholesterol-ester hydrolysis and turnover of [14C]oleate in the phospholipid fraction in hepatocytes and Kupffer cells, but not endothelial cells, over the first 2 h. With both remnant preparations, these observations indicate that significant differences exist between the three major liver cell types with respect to the uptake and metabolism of remnant lipid components.

Uptake and degradation of iodine-labelled chylomicron remnant particles by monolayers of rat hepatocytes.

Project description:1. Rat chylomicrons were labelled with 125I with 69--72% of the iodine in the protein moiety. Less than 1 nmol of iodine was incorporated per nmol of protein. Of the peptide radioactivity 44--56% was in apolipoprotein A-1, 30--40% in the C peptides and 11--15% in apolipoprotine B. The arginine-rich peptide, which accounted for about 14% of the chylomicron protein mass as determined by scanning of sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels, contained very little radioactivity. 2. Chylomicron remnants generated with postheparin plasma from iodine-labelled chylomicrons showed a relative increase in the percentage of the arginine-rich peptide (76--90% of the apolipoprotein mass according to gel scanning). The major portion of the peptide iodine label was present in apolipoprotein A-1 (43--57%), B (22--32%) and C peptides (17--35%). 3. When iodine-labelled chylomicron remnants were added to rat hepatocytes in primary culture, labelled peptides were taken up and degraded by the hepatocytes by a saturable process. The Vmax. for the uptake was calculated to the 300ng of protein/h per mg of cell protein and the apparent Km as 7.7 microgram of protein/mg of cell protein. A larger proportion of the 125I-labelled lipids of the remnants (mainly polar lipids) was taken up. This suggest that these may also enter the cells by a mechanism that does not involve particulate uptake, such as phospholipid exchange. 4. The degradation of labelled peptides was inhibited by colchicine, concanavalin A, chloroquine and NH4Cl, which also inhibit degradation of the cholesteryl ester portion. All these drugs exerted their inhibition mainly after the uptake of labelled peptide. No degradation occurred at 4 degrees C, and also the uptake was markedly decreased. 5. The uptake of labelled chylomicron remnant peptide was 77 times as effective as that of labelled sucrose, which is likely to be taken up randomly by pinocytosis.

An In Vitro Human Liver Model by iPSC-Derived Parenchymal and Non-parenchymal Cells.

Project description:During liver development, hepatoblasts and liver non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) such as liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) constitute the liver bud where they proliferate and differentiate. Accordingly, we reasoned that liver NPCs would support the maturation of hepatocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), which usually exhibit limited functions. We found that the transforming growth factor β and Rho signaling pathways, respectively, regulated the proliferation and maturation of LSEC and HSC progenitors isolated from mouse fetal livers. Based on these results, we have established culture systems to generate LSECs and HSCs from hiPSCs. These hiPSC-derived NPCs exhibited distinctive phenotypes and promoted self-renewal of hiPSC-derived liver progenitor cells (LPCs) over the long term in the two-dimensional culture system without exogenous cytokines and hepatic maturation of hiPSC-derived LPCs. Thus, a functional human liver model can be constructed in vitro from the LPCs, LSECs, and HSCs derived from hiPSCs.

Nucleoside uptake in rat liver parenchymal cells.

Project description:Rat liver parenchymal cells express Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)- independent nucleoside transport activity. The Na(+)-dependent component shows kinetic properties and substrate specificity similar to those reported for plasma membrane vesicles [Ruiz-Montasell, Casado, Felipe and Pastor-Anglada (1992) J. Membr. Biol. 128, 227-233]. This transport activity shows apparent K(m) values for uridine in the range 8-13 microM and a Vmax of 246 pmol of uridine per 3 min per 10(5) cells. Most nucleosides, including the analogue formycin B, cis-inhibit Na(+)-dependent uridine transport, although thymidine and cytidine are poor inhibitors. Inosine and adenosine inhibit Na(+)-dependent uridine uptake in a dose-dependent manner, reaching total inhibition. Guanosine also inhibits Na(+)-dependent uridine uptake, although there is some residual transport activity (35% of the control values) that is resistant to high concentrations of guanosine but may be inhibited by low concentrations of adenosine. The transport activity that is inhibited by high concentrations of thymidine is similar to the guanosine-resistant fraction. These observations are consistent with the presence of at least two Na(+)-dependent transport systems. Na(+)-dependent uridine uptake is sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide treatment, but Na(+)-independent transport is not. Nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBTI) stimulates Na(+)-dependent uridine uptake. The NBTI effect involves a change in Vmax, it is rapid, dose-dependent, does not need preincubation and can be abolished by depleting the Na+ transmembrane electrochemical gradient. Na(+)-independent uridine transport seems to be insensitive to NBTI. Under the same experimental conditions, NBTI effectively blocks most of the Na(+)-independent uridine uptake in hepatoma cells. Thus the stimulatory effect of NBTI on the concentrative nucleoside transporter of liver parenchymal cells cannot be explained by inhibition of nucleoside efflux.

Endocytosis of lysosomal enzymes by non-parenchymal rat liver cells. Comparative study of lysosomal-enzyme uptake by hepatocytes and non-parenchymal liver cells.

Project description:Cultured non-parenchymal rat liver cells internalize human urine alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase, human skin beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and pig kidney alpha-mannosidase. Different heat-stabilities of endocytosed and endogenous alpha-mannosidase activity provided indirect evidence that the increase in intracellular activity resulted from uptake. The high efficiency and the saturation kinetics of uptake indicated that these enzymes become internalized by adsorptive endocytosis. Competition experiments with glycoproteins bearing known carbohydrates at their non-reducing terminals, with mannans, methyl glycosides and monosaccharides, established that the uptake of these three lysosomal enzymes is mediated by the binding to cell-surface receptors that recognize mannose and N-acetylglucosamine residues. The decreased uptake after treatment of these enzymes with either beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase or alpha-mannosidase was in accordance with the results of the inhibition experiments. Removal of oligosaccharides of the high-mannose type by treatment with endoglucosaminidase H inhibited uptake almost completely, suggesting that the sugars recognized by cell-surface receptors of non-parenchymal liver cells are located in the outer core of these oligosaccharides. A comparison of the uptake of these three lysosomal enzymes by parenchymal and non-parenchymal rat liver cells indicates that infused alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase is taken up preferentially by hepatocytes, whereas alpha-mannosidase and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase are localized predominantly in non-parenchymal rat liver cells.

Isolation and co-culture of rat parenchymal and non-parenchymal liver cells to evaluate cellular interactions and response.

Project description:The liver is a central organ in the human body, and first line of defense between host and external environment. Liver response to any external perturbation is a collective reaction of resident liver cells. Most of the current in vitro liver models focus on hepatocytes, the primary metabolic component, omitting interactions and cues from surrounding environment and non-parenchymal cells (NPCs). Recent studies suggest that contributions of NPCs are vital, particularly in disease conditions, and outcomes of drugs and their metabolites. Along with hepatocytes, NPCs-Kupffer (KC), sinusoidal endothelial (LSEC) and stellate cells (SC) are major cellular components of the liver. Incorporation of primary cells in in vitro liver platforms is essential to emulate the functions of the liver, and its overall response. Herein, we isolate individual NPC cell fractions from rat livers and co-culture them in a transwell format incorporating primary rat hepatocytes with LSECs, SCs, and KCs. Our results indicate that the presence and contributions of multiple cells within the co-culture capture the interactions between hepatocytes and NPC, and modulates the responses to inflammatory stimulus such as LPS. The isolation and co-culture methods could provide a stable platform for creating in vitro liver models that provide defined functionality beyond hepatocytes alone.

The uptake of lipids by rat liver cells.

Project description:1. Unesterified cholesterol, cholesterol esters and triglycerides of chylomicrons were taken up at the same rate by isolated hepatic parenchymal cells. 2. On incubation of hepatic cells, isolated 2min. after the injection of chylomicrons in vivo, the chylomicron triglyceride associated with the cells underwent hydrolysis. 3. In cells isolated 5min. after the injection of chylomicrons, the chylomicron triglyceride bound to the hepatic cells was accessible to added clearing factor lipase. 4. ;Ghost' hepatic cells had the same binding capacity and lipolytic activity per cell as intact cells. 5. Of all subcellular fractions studied, the ;plasma membrane' fraction showed the greatest capacity per unit weight for non-esterified fatty acid and chylomicron triglyceride binding and for triglyceride hydrolysis. 6. Once non-esterified fatty acids entered the hepatic cell, they were apparently metabolized in the same manner, whether taken up from the circulation as such or derived from chylomicron triglyceride.

Chylomicron- and VLDL-derived lipids enter the heart through different pathways: in vivo evidence for receptor- and non-receptor-mediated fatty acid uptake.

Project description:Lipids circulate in the blood in association with plasma lipoproteins and enter the tissues either after hydrolysis or as non-hydrolyzable lipid esters. We studied cardiac lipids, lipoprotein lipid uptake, and gene expression in heart-specific lipoprotein lipase (LpL) knock-out (hLpL0), CD36 knock-out (Cd36(-/-)), and double knock-out (hLpL0/Cd36(-/-)-DKO) mice. Loss of either LpL or CD36 led to a significant reduction in heart total fatty acyl-CoA (control, 99.5 ± 3.8; hLpL0, 36.2 ± 3.5; Cd36(-/-), 57.7 ± 5.5 nmol/g, p < 0.05) and an additive effect was observed in the DKO (20.2 ± 1.4 nmol/g, p < 0.05). Myocardial VLDL-triglyceride (TG) uptake was reduced in the hLpL0 (31 ± 6%) and Cd36(-/-) (47 ± 4%) mice with an additive reduction in the DKO (64 ± 5%) compared with control. However, LpL but not CD36 deficiency decreased VLDL-cholesteryl ester uptake. Endogenously labeled mouse chylomicrons were produced by tamoxifen treatment of β-actin-MerCreMer/LpL(flox/flox) mice. Induced loss of LpL increased TG levels >10-fold and reduced HDL by >50%. After injection of these labeled chylomicrons in the different mice, chylomicron TG uptake was reduced by ∼70% and retinyl ester by ∼50% in hLpL0 hearts. Loss of CD36 did not alter either chylomicron TG or retinyl ester uptake. LpL loss did not affect uptake of remnant lipoproteins from ApoE knock-out mice. Our data are consistent with two pathways for fatty acid uptake; a CD36 process for VLDL-derived fatty acid and a non-CD36 process for chylomicron-derived fatty acid uptake. In addition, our data show that lipolysis is involved in uptake of core lipids from TG-rich lipoproteins.

Hepatic lipase may act as a ligand in the uptake of artificial chylomicron remnant-like particles by isolated rat hepatocytes.

Project description:Active and heat-inactivated hepatic lipase stimulated to a statistically comparable extent the uptake of chylomicron remnant-like particles by isolated rat hepatocytes by 3-fold and 2.3-fold respectively and, likewise, their binding to hepatic plasma membranes by 5-fold and 4-fold respectively. Hepatic lipase may facilitate uptake of these particles, not only as a lipolytic enzyme, but also as a ligand anchored to extracellular glycosaminoglycans.

Comparison of cadmium-metallothionein synthesis in parenchymal and non-parenchymal rat liver cells.

Project description:The time course of cadmium-metallothionein synthesis was studied in non-parenchymal and parenchymal cells, isolated by a cell-separation technique from the livers of rats after the simultaneous injection of CdCl2 (0.05 mg of Cd/kg) and a 10-fold molar excess of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol. Under these conditions of dosing, in contrast with the injection of CdCl2 alone, both cell types accumulate similar concentrations of Cd and synthesize equivalent concentrations of metallothionein. It is concluded that both cell types have a similar capacity to synthesize the metalloprotein, and that the limiting factor under normal cadmium exposure is the relatively inefficient metal uptake into the non-parenchymal cells.
