Franklin Delano Roosevelt 2 Acknowledgment Foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Pr. André Guillouzo, for his constant guidance, continuous encouragement, and patience along the thesis preparation. I am grateful to the trust he gave me, and the moral support he provided. I highly appreciate his confidence in my ambitious goals, and his enormous efforts to provide me with all the required facilities. I am so thankful for his priceless advices that will pave the road for my future career. I would like to thank to all jury members: Mme Chantal Housset, Mr Marc Pallardy, Mr Pierre Brissot, and Mr Richard Weaver. Thank you for giving me the honor of judging my thesis work.

Since up to now it is unpredictable in 40% of all cases its accurate prediction represents a major challenge. First, we validated that differentiated HepaRG human liver cells are a suitable in vitro model to study drug-induced cholestasis, by comparing localization of influx and efflux transporters and their functional activity in these cells and primary human hepatocytes. All tested influx and efflux transporters were correctly localized to canalicular (BSEP, MRP2, MDR1, and MDR3) or basolateral (NTCP, MRP3) membrane domains and were functional. In addition, the HepaRG cell line also exhibits bile acids (BAs) metabolizing enzymes and has the capacity to synthesize BAs and to further amidate these BAs with taurine and glycine as well as sulfate, at a rate similar to that of primary hepatocytes. Concentration- dependent changes were observed in total BAs disposition after treatment of HepaRG cells by the cholestatic drug cyclosporine A (CsA). Inhibition of efflux and uptake of taurocholate was evidenced as early as 15 min and 1 h respectively. These early effects were associated with deregulation of cPKC pathway and induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress that preceded generation of oxidative stress. We also showed for the first time intracellular accumulation of endogenous BAs by a cholestatic drug in vitro. In addition, our work brings evidences that motility of bile canaliculi (BC) is essential for BAs clearance where ROCK pathway and actomyosin complex are highly implicated. We provided the first demonstration that ROCK pathway and BC dynamics are major targets of cholestatic compounds. Our data should help in the development of screening methods for early prediction of drug- induced cholestatic side effects. 7 Résumé La cholestase est l’une des manifestations les plus courantes des lésions induites par des médicaments. Dans 40% des cas elle n’est pas prévisible; une meilleure prédictibilité représente donc un défi majeur. Tout d’abord, nous avons démontré que les cellules hépatiques humaines HepaRG différenciées sont un modèle approprié pour étudier la cholestase induite par les médicaments en comparant la localisation et l’activité des transporteurs d’influx et d’efflux avec les hépatocytes humains primaires. Tous les transporteurs d’efflux et d’influx testés ont été correctement localisés au niveau des membranes canaliculaire (BSEP, MRP2, MDR1 et MDR3) et basolatéral (NTCP, MRP3) et sont fonctionnels. En outre, ces cellules expriment également les enzymes qui métabolisent les acides biliaires (ABs) et ont la capacité de les synthétiser et de les conjuguer avec la taurine, la glycine et le sulfate, à un taux similaire à celui des hépatocytes primaires. Des changements ont été observés sur la répartition des ABs totaux après traitements de cellules HepaRG par un médicament cholestatique, la cyclosporine A (CsA), de manière concentration- dépendante. L’inhibition de l’efflux et de l’influx de taurocholate a été observée après 15 min et 1 h respectivement. Ces premiers effets ont été associés à la dérégulation de la voie des cPKC et l’induction d’un stress du réticulum endoplasmique puis d’un stress oxydant. Nous avons également montré pour la première fois une accumulation intracellulaire d’ABs endogènes avec un médicament cholestatique in vitro. En outre, notre travail apporte des preuves que la motilité des canalicules biliaires (BC) est indispensable à la clairance des ABs. La voie ROCK et le complexe actomyosine sont fortement impliqués. Nous avons fourni la première démonstration que la voie ROCK et les dynamiques des BC sont des cibles majeures des composés cholestatiques. Nos données devraient contribuer à l’élaboration de méthodes de screening pour la prédiction précoce des effets secondaires induits par les médicaments cholestatiques.

Previous studies of chronic cholangiopathies such as primary sclerosing cholangitis have focused on the bile ductules. However, little is known about the pathological alterations in bile canaliculi in the early phase of cholangiopathies.

Moreover, the consequences of the complex events involving lipid metabolism in the hepatobiliary system are reviewed, with a focus on the translational value of current basic research in health and disease.

  • Bile Canaliculi Can Be Seen Between the Hepatocytes
    DIGESTIVE GLANDS II Mr. Babatunde D.E Liver ❖ Is the second largest organ in the body. ❖ Is composed of a single type of parenchymal cell, the hepatocyte. Hepatocyte ❖ Possess a myriad of both endocrine and exocrine functions. Figure 16—18. Ultrastructure of a hepatocyte. RER, rough endoplasmic reticulum; SER, smooth endoplasmic reticulum. x10,000. Glisson’s Capsule ❖ Is composed of thin connective tissue that subdivides the liver into lobes and lobules. Blood Supply ❖ Of the liver is derived from two sources: abdominal aorta, via the hepatic artery; portal vein, which brings nutrient-laden blood from the alimentary tract and the spleen. Porta Hepatis ❖ Is the region where the hepatic artery and the portal vein enter and the hepatic ducts leave the liver. Drainage ❖ Of blood is via the hepatic vein. ❖ Hepatic vein is formed by the union of numerous sublobular veins. ❖ Sublobular veins collect blood from the central vein of each classical liver lobule. Bile ❖ Leaves the liver via the hepatic ducts. ❖ Is delivered to the gallbladder. Liver Lobules ❖ There are three types of liver lobules: classical (hexagonal in histologic section); portal lobule (triangular in histological section); liver acinus of Rappaport (liver acinus; diamond shaped in histologic section). CENTRAL VEIN PORTAL CANAL Classical Lobule ❖ Is based on the pig’s liver, where connective tissue elements clearly delineate it. ❖ Portal area (portal canal; triad) is present at each corner of the lobule. ❖ Portal area contains branches of the portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct, and lymph vessel.
