Differential Effects of Allyl Alcohol on Hepatocytes and Fibroblasts Demonstrated in Roller Chamber Co-Cultures

Differential Effects of Allyl Alcohol on Hepatocytes and Fibroblasts Demonstrated in Roller... A roller incubation procedure was used to co-cultivate primary cultures of chick hepatocytes with a human fibroblast-like cell line (HFB). When HFB cells alone were incubated, in the presence of allyl alcohol, an increased rate of protein synthesis was observed. In the hepatocyte-fibroblast co-cultures, allyl alcohol caused a dose-dependent decrease in the rate of protein synthesis in the cells of both types. This effect was much more pronounced in the hepatocytes. It was concluded that in the co-cultures allyl alcohol was oxidised to acrolein, which exerted its toxic action primarily on the hepatic cells. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Alternatives to Laboratory Animals SAGE

Abstract

A roller incubation procedure was used to co-cultivate primary cultures of chick hepatocytes with a human fibroblast-like cell line (HFB). When HFB cells alone were incubated, in the presence of allyl alcohol, an increased rate of protein synthesis was observed. In the hepatocyte-fibroblast co-cultures, allyl alcohol caused a dose-dependent decrease in the rate of protein synthesis in the cells of both types. This effect was much more pronounced in the hepatocytes. It was concluded that in the co-cultures allyl alcohol was oxidised to acrolein, which exerted its toxic action primarily on the hepatic cells.
