摘要
Abstract: The conditions required for hepatocyte cultures is a main topic in the development of bioreactors for hybrid liver support systems. The detoxification of ammonia and the synthesis of urea due to primary isolated hepatocytes was measured in order to compare two different models of gas supply in bioreactors: (a) indirect medium oxygenation and (b) direct membrane‐contact oxygenation of the hepatocytes using polypropylene membranes. Increasing oxygen pressure promoted cell function. At day 6 of culture, urea synthesis was 0.8 ± 0.3 raM in 21% of 02 cultures and 1.5 ± 0.1 mM in oxygenated cultures. Alkalosis due to C02 loss decreased ammonia metabolism. The direct membrane‐contact oxygenation resulted in enhanced cell metabolism in comparison to medium oxygenation: urea synthesis at day six was 1.42 ± 0.2 mM in 21% O2 cultures. Polypropylene oxygenation membranes proved to be sufficient for hepatocyte adhesion. Two functions can be integrated in one element in liver support systems using the investigated polypropylene membrane and the direct membrane‐contact oxygenation: oxygenation with physiological oxygen pressure in bioreactors due to gas supply across the membrane and adhesion of hepatocytes in bioreactors on the membrane. © 1990 International Society for Artificial Organs
