Mitotic responsiveness of cultured adult human hepatocytes to epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor alpha, and human serum.

Abstract:

:The present study was undertaken to evaluate the ability of human hepatocytes to respond in culture to various mitotic agents including epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha), or serum from patients with fulminant hepatitis. Human hepatocytes were maintained in culture on collagen-coated plates in a chemically and hormonally defined serum-free medium at low cell density. Twelve hours after plating, cultures were treated with increasing amounts of EGF (1-100 ng/mL), TGF-alpha (1-100 ng/mL), or human serum (1%-10%) for 0-96 hours. Proliferative response was assessed by determining against time the rate of DNA synthesis by [3H]thymidine incorporation in DNA, the labeling index, the expression of cyclin A, the amount of DNA, and the number of cells. The rate of DNA synthesis reached a maximum after 48 hours of treatment with 20 ng/mL EGF, 40 ng/mL TGF-alpha, or 5%-10% of human serum (fulminant hepatitis); the average increase with respect to untreated cells was 4.35 times with EGF, 5.4 times with TGF-alpha, and 4-6 times with serum from patients with fulminant hepatitis. The maximum expression of cyclin A coincided with the maximum of DNA synthesis. After 72 hours of treatment with EGF or human serum (fulminant hepatitis), the amount of DNA increased by 75%-100% (P less than 0.001) and the number of cells by 50% (P less than 0.001). These results show that adult human hepatocytes respond to mitogens, as expected from previous studies on animal hepatocytes, and provide experimental basis for future investigations in the field of human liver regeneration.
