  • Experimental Study on Establishment of Cell Proliferation Model and Isolated Method in Vitro of Hepatic Oval Cells in Adult Rat

    Objective To explore the proper dosage of establishment of stable hepatic oval cells (HOC) prolif-eration model by using 2-acetaminofluorene (2-AAF) combined with two-third partial hepatectomy (2/3 PH) surgery, and to explore isolated and cultured method of HOC in vitro. Methods The 174 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups (each group enrolled 30 rats), saline group (n=30), and untreated group (n=24). Rats of 4 experi-mental groups were underwent gavage of 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/(kg ? d) 2-AAF, corresponding to the groups from No.1 to No.4 group. Rats of saline group received saline gavage and rats of untreated group didn’t received any treatment. A standard 2/3 PH surgery was performed on the 5th day after gavage, then the same gavage method was still administrated as preoperation untill rats were sacrificed. The liver tissues of 6 selected rats were adopted and identified by HE staining and immunohistochemical staining on 4, 8, 12, and 16 days after PH for observation of the proliferation of HOC in every group, on 4 days, levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were tested in addition. HOC were isolated and purified by collagenase perfusion method and percoll gradient centrifugation. Results The surv-ival rates of untreated group,saline group,No.1 group,No.2 group,No.3 group,and No.4 group were 100% (24/24),93% (28/30),93% (28/30),90% (27/30),90% (27/30),and 80% (24/30) respectively. Compared with the saline group and untreated group, the levels of serum ALT and AST increased significantly in No.2, No.3, and No.4 group on the 4th day after PH (P<0.05). The results of HE staining showed that No.2, No.3, and No.4 group were observed visibly different level of damage at liver tissue, and the proliferation level of HOC were most obviously in No.3 and No.4 group. The results of immunohistochemical staining revealed that proliferation cells were positively expressed oval cell marker-6 (OV-6). The number of OV-6 positive cells were increased significantly with the increase of dosage of 2-AAF between 4 days and 12 days after operation, and proliferation levels were related with dosages of 2-AAF (P<0.05). In all cultured cells, 80% of cells were OV-6 positive cells after isolation and culture by using collagenase perfusion method and percoll gradient centrifugation. Conclusions The methods of gavage of 2-AAF at 15 mg/(kg ? d) combined with 2/3 PH surgery can establish the HOC proliferation model on the 12th day, as well as the rats have lower mortality and better tolerance, especially. The collagenase perfusion method and percoll gradient centrifugation can be used to isolate HOC effectively.
