Department of Pharmacology, The effect of medium formulation, composition of extracellular
matrix overlay, and culture dish material on liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 2B induction by phenobarbital (PB) was investigated in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. When hepatocytes were maintained on Permanox dishes with an overlay of either collagen (type I) or Matrigel, Williams' E medium was superior to other medium formulations in terms of the magnitude of induction of CYP2B on
a per milligram microsomal protein basis. Modified Chee's medium (MCM)
and hepatocyte culture medium were intermediate in their capacity to
sustain induction of CYP2B by PB, and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's
medium was slightly less effective. The overall induction of CYP2B
activity by PB was, on average, 50% lower in hepatocytes cultured on
polystyrene dishes (LUX). Little or no difference was observed
between hepatocytes overlaid with collagen and those overlaid with
Matrigel. MCM was superior to Williams' E medium in terms of the yield
of microsomal protein and the ultrastructural features of the
hepatocyte monolayers. CYP2B induction by PB was optimal after 3 days
of treatment in either medium. CYP1A, CYP3A, and CYP4A activities could
be induced in vitro by prototypical inducing agents in hepatocytes
cultured on Permanox dishes with MCM and a Matrigel overlay to
comparable levels observed in vivo. The results of these studies show
that medium formulation and culture vessel material, but not the type
of extracellular matrix overlay, have significant effects on the
induction of CYP enzymes in cultured rat hepatocytes maintained in a
sandwich configuration.
