摘要
Knowledge of the kinetics of cell distribution in vascular beds will help optimize engraftment of transplanted hepatocytes, To noninvasively localize transplanted cells in vivo, we developed conditions for labeling rat hepatocytes with Tc-99m-pertechnetate. The incorporated Tc-99m was bound to intracellular proteins and did not impair cell viability. When Tc-99m hepatocytes were intrasplenically injected into normal rats, cells entered liver sinusoids with time-activity curves demonstrating instantaneous cell translocations. Tc-99m activity in removed organs was in liver or spleen, and lungs showed little activity, However, when cells were intrasplenically transplanted into rats,vith portasystemic collaterals, Tc-99m appeared in both liver sinusoids and pulmonary alveolar capillaries, To further localize cells, we transplanted DPPIV+ F344 rat hepatocytes into syngeneic DPPIV- recipients, Histochemical staining for DPPIV activity demonstrated engraftment of intrasplenically transplanted cells in liver parenchyma, In contrast, when Tc-99m hepatocytes were injected into a peripheral vein, cells were entrapped in pulmonary capillaries but were subsequently broken down with redistribution of Tc-99m activity elsewhere, Intact DPPIV+ hepatocytes were identified in lungs, whereas only cell fragments were present in liver, spleen, or kidneys, These findings indicate that although the pulmonary vascular bed offers advantages of easy accessibility and a relatively large capacity, significant early cell destruction is an important limitation.
