Rat liver epithelial cell cultures in a serum-free medium: primary cultures and derived cell lines expressing differentiated functions
Abstract
Rat liver epithelial cells explanted in a serum-free medium (SFM) composed of Ham's F10 basal medium plus free fatty acids adsorbed on bovine albumin gave successful rise to primary cultures and then to long-term cell lines that expressed liver functions; induction of L-tyrosine aminotransferase by glucocorticoids, hepatic pattern of progesterone metabolism, and biosynthesis of murine primary bile acids; chenodeoxycholic and cholic acid common to higher vertebrates and alpha-muricholic acid specific of the rat bile.
