摘要
Hepatic cells isolated from an adult rat Liver, consisting of small hepatocytes (SHs), mature hepatocytes (MHs), liver epithelial cells (LECs), Kupffer cells, sinusoidal endothelial cells, and stellate cells, were cultured in a medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 10 mmol/L nicotinamide, 1 mmol/L ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, 10 ng/mL epidermal growth factor, and 1% dimethyl sulfoxide. The SHs rapidly proliferated and formed a colony. About 10% of cytokeratin 8 (CK8)-positive cells formed SH colonies. All SHs at day 10 immunocytochemically showed positivity for albumin, transferrin, CK8, and CK18, which are markers for hepatocytes. In contrast, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-, CK14-, OC2-, and glutathione S-transferase placental type (GST-P)positive cells, which are thought to be markers for hepatic immature cells, were rarefy observed. At day 20 some cells in the colonies were positive for AFP, CK7, CK19, and GST-P LECs and stellate cells proliferated and surrounded the colonies. About 2 weeks after plating, piled up cells were often observed on the SH colonies. In those colonies LECs and stellate cells invaded under the colonies, The invasion of the cells and gradual deposits of extracellular matrix (ECM) such as type I collagen, type TV collagen, and laminin induced alteration of the shape of the SHs from relatively flat to cuboidal or rectangular. With the cellular structural changes, the expression of albumin, connexin 32 (Cx32), and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TO) messenger RNAs increased. In addition, overlapping nonparenchymal cells (NPCs) on the piled up cells induced the formation of duct- or cyst-like structures consisting of MHs. In the present experiment we showed that SHs could differentiate to MI-Is by interacting with NPCs and ECM. Thus, SHs may be "committed progenitor cells" that can further differentiate into MHs.
