Cholesterol crystal formation and growth in model bile solutions.

Abstract:

:Cholesterol monohydrate crystal formation was studied in supersaturated model bile solutions, containing unlabeled cholesterol, sodium cholate and soybean phosphatidylcholine, and tracer amounts of [3H]cholesterol. Solutions were either seeded with cholesterol crystals to initiate growth, or not seeded to allow self-nucleation and subsequent crystal growth to occur. Crystal growth at 37 degrees C was measured by two methods. First, radioactive cholesterol crystals were isolated by filtration, and the mass of cholesterol that had precipitated was calculated. In unseeded solutions, there was a long lag period before crystal growth was detected. This lag time was decreased by increases in the cholesterol concentration, temperature, and lipid concentration. In seeded solutions, crystal growth also was dependent on the cholesterol concentration, temperature, and lipid concentration. The second method used to measure crystal growth involved the Coulter Counter. At 37 degrees C, reproducible results were not obtained using unseeded solutions due to blocking of the counter aperture with large crystals. In seeded solutions, crystal growth could be measured as an increase in total particle volume. However, comparison of growth rate estimates from the Coulter Counter with those obtained radiochemically revealed poor agreement between the two methods. It is probable that the Coulter Counter is inaccurate in measuring the volume of cholesterol monohydrate crystals due to their anisometric shape.
