However, in situations of mild fat malabsorption, considerable interindividual variation in the results of the 13C-MTG breath test occurs, which 13 may be explained by a shift in the rate-limiting step in the overall process of CO2 production. (DIT PROEFSCHRIFT) The continuing fat malabsorption in cystic fibrosis patients on enzyme replacement therapy is not likely due to insufficient lipolytic enzyme activity, but rather due to either incomplete intraluminal solubilization and/or reduced mucosal uptake of long-chain fatty acids.

The causes underlying the development of cholestasis in patients can be extremely varied. This thesis describes the relationship between bile production and composition, levels and activity of specific hepatic transport proteins involved in bile formation and the diagnostic value of cholestatic serum markers like bile salts and bilirubin in differentexperimental models. 1. Bile formation The formation of bile is an important function of the liver. Bile contains bile salts, phospholipids cholesterol, a variety of proteins and bilirubin as its main organic constituents. Electrolytes and a number of trace elements are also present in bile. Bile serves many functions in the body. In the first place, the biliary pathway represents the major route for elimination of endogenous and exogenous waste products. Bilirubin, which gives bile its bright yellow colour is produced during the breakdown of hemoglobin fromsenescent red blood cells and of other heme-containing proteins and is secreted into bile after the coupling of sugar groups, which renders this hydrophobic compound more water­ soluble. Bile also plays a role in disposition from the body of a wide variety of xenobiotics, including drugs and heavy metals. Secondly, bile formation is important in the maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis. Cholesterol leaves the body almost exclusively after its excretion into bile, either as the freecompound or after its conversion to bile salts. Thirdly, bile is essential forthe solubilization by bile salts of dietary lipid and lipid-soluble vitamins in the small intestine and for the assembly of chylomicrons by the enterocytes: both processes are required for efficient intestinal absorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Therefore, maintenance of bile formation is not only essential for functioning of the liver but also of the organism as a whole. Bile is formed by the liver parenchymal cells, or hepatocytes, which represent the major cell type in the liver in quantitative terms (1). Hepatocytes are polarized cells with their basolateral or sinusoidal membrane facing the blood and their apical or canalicular membrane facing the bile (figure 1). To maintain this polarization, the canalicular domain of adjacent cells is sealed from the blood compartment by means of tight junctions, through which large molecules can not pass, but which are permeable for electrolytes and water. In order to be secreted into bile, most compounds therefore have to pass through the hepatocytes. The hepatocytes are arranged in one cell thick layers that line the sinusoids in the liver-lobules, the smallest structural units of the liver according to the model of Rappaport (figure2). This lobule receives blood via branches of the portal vein and the hepatic artery. Via the sinusoids the blood then flows to the central vein. Along the sinusoids there is a functional division of the hepatocytes into three zones, i.e. the periportal, the central or intermediate and the perivenous zone. A morphological and functional heterogeneity of hepatocytes exists along these differentzones with respect to metabolic- and transport functions (2,3). 11 Chapter 1 Figure 1.

  • Mechanisms of Drug-Induced Liver Injury: the Role of Hepatic Transport Proteins
    MECHANISMS OF DRUG-INDUCED LIVER INJURY: THE ROLE OF HEPATIC TRANSPORT PROTEINS Kyunghee Yang A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Kim L.R. Brouwer Paul B. Watkins Dhiren Thakker Harvey J. Clewell III Brett A. Howell ©2014 Kyunghee Yang ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kyunghee Yang: Mechanisms of Drug-Induced Liver Injury: The Role of Hepatic Transport Proteins (Under the direction of Kim L.R. Brouwer) The objectives of this research were to investigate mechanisms of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) that involve drug-bile acid (BA) interactions at hepatic transporters, and develop a novel strategy to reliably predict human DILI. Troglitazone (TGZ), an antidiabetic withdrawn from the market due to severe DILI, was employed as a model hepatotoxic drug. Pharmacokinetic modeling of taurocholic acid (TCA, a model BA) disposition data from human and rat sandwich-cultured hepatocytes (SCH) revealed that species differences exist in TCA hepatocellular efflux pathways; in human SCH, TCA biliary excretion predominated, whereas biliary and basolateral excretion contributed equally to TCA efflux in rat SCH. This finding explains, in part, why rats are less susceptible to DILI compared to humans after administration of drugs that inhibit BA biliary excretion. The present study also revealed for the first time that TGZ sulfate (TS), a major TGZ metabolite, inhibits BA basolateral efflux in addition to biliary excretion. These findings support the hypothesis that TS is an important mediator of altered hepatic BA disposition; increased hepatic TS exposure due to impaired canalicular transport function might predispose a subset of patients to hepatotoxicity.

Abstract: Glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide particularly concentrated in the liver, is the most important thiol reducing agent involved in the modulation of redox processes. It has also been demonstrated that GSH cannot be considered only as a mere free radical scavenger but that it takes part in the network governing the choice between survival, necrosis and apoptosis as well as in altering the function of signal transduction and transcription factor molecules. The purpose of the present review is to provide an overview on the molecular biology of the GSH system; therefore, GSH synthesis, metabolism and regulation will be reviewed. The multiple GSH functions will be described, as well as the importance of GSH compartmentalization into distinct subcellular pools and inter-organ transfer. Furthermore, we will highlight the close relationship existing between GSH content and the pathogenesis of liver disease, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcoholic liver disease (ALD), chronic cholestatic injury, ischemia/reperfusion damage, hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatocellular carcinoma.

  • Ursodeoxycholic Acid Improves Liver Function Via Phenylalanine/Tyrosine
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ursodeoxycholic acid improves liver function via phenylalanine/ tyrosine pathway and microbiome Received: 8 June 2018 Accepted: 27 July 2018 remodelling in patients with liver Published: xx xx xxxx dysfunction Da Jung Kim 1, Seonghae Yoon2, Sang Chun Ji1, Jinho Yang3, Yoon-Keun Kim3, SeungHwan Lee1, Kyung-Sang Yu1, In-Jin Jang1, Jae-Yong Chung2 & Joo-Youn Cho 1,4 Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a metabolic by-product of intestinal bacteria, showing hepatoprotective efects. However, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the action mechanisms underlying the protective efects of UDCA and vitamin E against liver dysfunction using metabolomics and metagenomic analysis. In this study, we analysed blood and urine samples from patients with obesity and liver dysfunction. Nine patients were randomly assigned to receive UDCA (300 mg twice daily), and 10 subjects received vitamin E (400 IU twice daily) for 8 weeks. UDCA signifcantly improved the liver function scores after 4 weeks of treatment and efectively reduced hepatic deoxycholic acid and serum microRNA-122 levels. To better understand its protective mechanism, a global metabolomics study was conducted, and we found that UDCA regulated uremic toxins (hippuric acid, p-cresol sulphate, and indole-derived metabolites), antioxidants (ascorbate sulphate and N-acetyl-L-cysteine), and the phenylalanine/tyrosine pathway. Furthermore, microbiome involvement, particularly of Lactobacillus and Bifdobacterium, was demonstrated through metagenomic analysis of bacteria-derived extracellular vesicles. Meanwhile, vitamin E treatment did not result in such alterations, except that it reduced uremic toxins and liver dysfunction. Our fndings suggested that both treatments were efective in improving liver function, albeit via diferent mechanisms.
