Growth state-dependent phenotypes of adult hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture.

RESUMO
A proliferation-competent adult rat liver cell monolayer system has been analyzed for tissue-specific functions during its growth cycle. High levels of the adult (L type) form of pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) and glutathione S-transferase B ("ligand," EC 2.5.1.18) are observed during the early lag phase; they decline markedly during the logarithmic phase and reappear during the stationary phase. By contrast, elevated levels of the fetal (K type) form of pyruvate kinase and alpha1-fetoprotein production appear only after proliferation begins; this pattern diminishes slightly during stationary phase as the adult phenotype is restored. Albumin production continues throughout the entire growth cycle. These in vitro findings simulate those observed during hepatoproliferative transitions in the intact animal and, as such, constitute a developmental program for normal epithelial cells in primary culture.
