Typical models include 2D planar primary hepatocytes, hepatocyte spheroids, hepatocyte organoids, and liver-on-a-chip. Liver-on-a-chip has emerged as the mainstream model for drug development because it recapitulates the liver microenvironment and has good assay robustness such as reproducibility. Liver-on-a-chip with human primary cells can potentially correlate clinical testing. Liver-on-a-chip can not only predict drug hepatotoxicity and drug metabolism, but also connect other artificial organs on the chip for a human-on-a-chip, which can reflect the overall effect of a drug.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

Expression and localization of the SE-1 antigen in the liver tissues of 13- to 21-day-old fe- tuses were immunofluorescently and immunoelectron microscopically examined. The first positive fluorescence was observed in the immature liver of 15-day-old fetuses. The initial positive staining was randomly distrib- uted in the liver parenchyma and showed no direct relation to the large vessels which may be derived from the fetal vitelline veins. The positive linear staining increased in number and connected with each other during the course of development. The SE-1 staining pattern and the sinusoidal arrangement became similar to those of the adult liver after 20th day of gestation. Immunoelectron microscopically, the immature SEC showed a weak positive reaction for the SE-1 antigen at their membraneand was observed together with immature hepato- cytes and hematopoietic cells in the 15-day-old fetal liver.

The intricate functional units of the liver called the sinusoids are of immense interest as they are early targets of many drugs and toxicants as well as have been reported to play a significant role in initiating liver regeneration and contribute to the pathophysiology of many liver diseases.

We compared portal vein alone, hepatic artery alone, and dual perfusion through portal vein together with hepatic artery perfusion techniques in rat livers analyzed in histology. Rat livers were treated for 30 min in situ warm ischemia and excised and directly placed to mimic conventional cold storage for 4 hours followed by different routes of cold perfusion. In three experimental groups, five livers were given portal vein perfusion in group one. In group two, five livers were subjected to hepatic artery perfusion and in group three five livers received both portal vein and hepatic artery perfusion. Histological samples were taken before the beginning of the perfusion, 30 min- utes, and 60 minutes after starting of the perfusion. Rat livers, received portal vein perfusion in group one, revealed remarkable sinusoidal dilatation increasingly with augmented perfusion time.

  • Hepatic Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells 5
    CHAPTER 5 Hepatic Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells 5 Roman E. Perri, Vijay Shah 5.1 Development and Structure Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC) are a morphologically distinct population of cells that form the lining of liver sinusoids. Features that dis- tinguish HSEC from endothelial cells in other or- gans and in larger liver vessels are the presence of multiple fenestrae throughout the cells and the lack of an underlying basement membrane [3, 7, 60, 72]. The sinusoids are positioned between hepato- cyte plates and initiate at the portal tract and termi- nate at the central vein. Sinusoids carry blood that converges in the liver from the portal venous sup- ply, as well as from the hepatic artery [76] (Fig. 5.1). Sinusoids are separated from adjacent hepatocytes by the perisinusoidal space, also known as the space of Disse. Due to their position, HSEC are the first cells in contact with blood flow into the sinusoids and serve to compartmentalize the vascular sinu- soidal channels from the hepatic parenchyma [60, 72]. The hepatic sinusoids range in diameter from Fig. 5.1. Vasculature architecture of the liver. Blood flow enters 4 µm near the portal triad to 5.5 µm near the cen- the liver via the portal vein (PVb) as well as the hepatic artery tral vein [30]. Because they are smaller than both (HAb). While portal blood enters directly into the sinusoids (S), red and white blood cells, there is distortion of both hepatic arterial blood perfuses into distinct anatomic locations cells and the sinusoids during passage of blood cells prior to re-entering the sinusoids.

LSEC have unique functions, such as fluid filtration, blood vessel tone modulation, blood clotting, inflammatory cell recruitment, and metabolite and hormone trafficking. Different subtypes of liver endothelial cells are also known to control liver zonation and hepatocyte function. Here, we have reviewed the origin of LSEC, the different subtypes identified in the liver, as well as their renewal during homeostasis. The liver has the exceptional ability to regenerate from small remnants. The past decades have seen increasing awareness in the role of non-parenchymal cells in liver regeneration despite not being the most represented population. While a lot of knowledge has emerged, clarification is needed regarding the role of LSEC in sensing shear stress and on their participation in the inductive phase of regeneration by priming the hepatocytes and delivering mitogenic factors.

CARSON Fromn the Department of Pathology, School of MIedicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514 Received( for publication Junie 15, 1976 Summary.-The ultrastructure of pores and fenestrations in hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells was examined following partial surgical occlusion of the supra- hepatic portion of the inferior vena cava. Within 12 h after partial obstruction of hepatic venous outflow, endothelial pores ( < 0-1 [km in diameter) and sieve plates in the distal halves of sinusoids were greatly reduced in number or were totally absent, and they were replaced by large fenestrations ( < 1 0 um in diameter). These results suggest that pores forming sieve plates may fuse to form large fenestrations. The findings also indicate that sinusoidal hypertension and hypoxia associated with obstruction of hepatic venous outflow alter the distribution of pores and fenestrations in sinusoidal endothelium.

  • Hepatic Artery
    Ingegneria delle tecnologie per la salute Fondamenti di anatomia e istologia aa. 2019-20 Lesson 7. Digestive system and peritoneum Liver • hepatic artery delivers oxygenated blood from heart to liver, hepatic portal vein delivers partially deoxygenated blood containing nutrients (+ drugs and toxins) absorbed from the small intestine and actually supplies more oxygen to liver than do much smaller hepatic arteries; after processing bloodborne nutrients and toxins, liver releases nutrients needed by other cells back into the blood, which drains into central vein and then through hepatic vein to inferior vena cava. • hepatic portal circulation = all blood from alimentary canal passes through liver (explaining liver most common site for alimentary canal cancers metastasis) Liver: Histology = 3 main components: 1 hepatocytes [liver’s main cell type, accounting for around 80% of liver's volume, playing a role in a wide variety of secretory, metabolic, and endocrine functions; plates of hepatocytes called hepatic laminae radiate outward from portal vein in each hepatic lobule] = from their central position, hepatocytes process nutrients, toxins, and waste materials carried by blood: materials such as bilirubin processed and excreted into bile canaliculi, other materials including proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates processed and secreted into sinusoids or just stored in cells until called upon. Liver: Histology = 3 main components: 2 bile canaliculi [grooves in cell membranes between adjacent hepatocytes accumulating bile produced by hepatocytes:
