		<li>留出两个不育的结晶皿。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
</ol>2. 动物做法
<ol><li>预热 pbs 和缓冲2解决方案到42°c 在水浴和流通 PBS 至少20毫升/分钟在管道中的封闭电路, 以保持液体线温暖。浸入水浴中的任何多余油管保持尽可能接近42摄氏度。将油管的男性端排入含有 PBS 的1升烧瓶中。</li>
	<li>将一个棉球放在吸水垫上, 并添加约2毫升30% 异氟醚 (由聚乙烯乙二醇200组成, 通过转移吸管降低了异氟醚的蒸发率)。</li>
	<li>拿起鼠标的尾巴, 把它放在一个结晶的菜肴, 然后迅速翻转到棉花球的菜, 使鼠标有一个小的空间, 其中吸入麻醉。观察鼠标的呼吸速度, 确保鼠标在麻醉下有效。 注: 呼吸速率应较慢和更深, 尾部松弛, 爪子响应麻醉下的捏试验;有关其他详细信息, 请参阅 IACUC 指南。</li>
	<li>当鼠标在麻醉下 (这需要1-2 分钟), 准备一个10毫升注射器的桶, 拔出活塞和插入一个小棉球。将30% 异氟醚的一毫升, 用转移吸管添加到枪管内的棉球上, 并将枪管放在桌子上, 等待老鼠变得不省人事。</li>
	<li>快速摘下结晶盘, 翻转鼠标背部, 把注射器桶放在鼻子上。双检查呼吸率, 脚趾捏, 和松弛的尾巴。任何对脚趾捏和松弛的尾巴的反应表明, 老鼠没有完全在麻醉下。把注射器桶放在鼻子上保持无意识。</li>
	<li>把拇指钉通过鼠标的爪子, 四肢伸出仰卧位。用70% 异丙醇或乙醇将腹部和肋骨保持湿润。</li>
	<li>用直钳一只手, 抬起靠近腹部底部的皮肤。另一方面用剪刀剪帐篷的皮肤和腹膜。切口应该是水平的或在帐篷皮肤的底部。一定要切开所有层的皮肤和腹膜, 以获得进入肠道。侧面切开在腹部附近由肋骨笼子在两边没有偷任何器官。</li>
	<li>通过下肋笼切开皮瓣。用镊子的背部将肠道向右移动, 以暴露门静脉。 注: 动物出血应尽量少;该动物仍应呼吸和深度麻醉。</li>
	<li>将闭合的弯曲钳放置在肝与上级十二指肠静脉之间的门静脉 (图 3箭头)。</li>
	<li>在门静脉下方打开镊子。抓住线程, 仔细拉它通过, 使它在门静脉的中心。在门静脉周围系上一个上手结, 而不紧。</li>
	<li>将弯曲钳放在门静脉下, 轻轻地将其拉向鼠标尾部, 以理顺静脉 (图 4A)。</li>
	<li>另一方面, 用导管, 将针面的斜角与镊子附近的门静脉下部平行 (图 4B)。</li>
	<li>用针轻轻穿刺静脉 (图 4C)。确保针的斜角在静脉腔内。收回弹簧针, 继续通过静脉推入聚合物导管, 直到斜面靠近静脉分支区域。这是肝脏内的如果导管正确放置, 血液的回流就会可见。(图 4D)。</li>
	<li>拧紧的上手结和拉它在导管, 以帮助稳定它。立即将泵浦率从20毫升/分钟降低到4毫升/分, 并切开另一条主要的血管进行引流。切除主动脉腹型紫癜以获得最佳结果。</li>
	<li>将油管的雄性末端置于导管的母端 (图 5A)。确保生产线上没有气泡。小心, 导管不是被推入肝脏或静脉。线程的放置并不重要, 但它有助于防止从静脉回流, 并有助于保持导管在正确的位置 (图 5B, C)。</li>
	<li>使用屏蔽胶带将油管固定在垫上。使用直钳挤压出水血管, 使肝脏膨胀几次, 以确保血液耗尽 (图 5D)。 注: 标准实验室胶带可能无法正常工作;然而, 即使在潮湿的情况下, 屏蔽胶带仍会粘在垫上。</li>
</ol>3. 肝脏灌注
<ol><li>当肝脏冲洗与 PBS, 测量出约24毫克胶原酶 IV 型, 并把它放在含有45毫升缓冲2在水浴瓶。一定要旋流的液体在瓶中, 使胶原酶完全溶解, 并把瓶子放回钳, 使含有部分的液体瓶被完全淹没在水中。</li>
	<li>观察肝脏的颜色变化, 因为它是由 PBS 冲洗。将流出油管从1升烧瓶改为125毫升烧瓶。不要让气泡流入肝脏。</li>
	<li>一旦灌注缓冲到达肝脏, 简单地挤压排出的流出血管, 在血管内积聚一些压力, 让这个液体填满肝脏的所有裂片。确保不要把引流时间过长, 因为这可能会爆裂肝脏周围的薄结缔组织 (Glisson 的胶囊), 并破坏肝脏毛细血管床内的液体灌注或流动。</li>
	<li>允许缓冲2与胶原酶灌注通过肝脏, 直到所有45毫升已经流经组织。 注: 如果成功, Glisson 的胶囊应分离的实质或肝脏组织和肝脏本身应该出现无定形。</li>
	<li>增加约10毫升的缓冲1到其他结晶皿和放置在鼠标旁边。</li>
	<li>取出导管并关闭泵。</li>
	<li>用直钳和剪刀, 从老鼠身上切下肝脏。如果胶原酶消化非常有效, 可能需要有一个干净的, 不育的勺子手从老鼠舀肝, 并把它放在缓冲1。</li>
</ol>4. 肝细胞纯化
注意: 在无菌组织培养罩中进行细胞的操纵, 以限制细胞在所有后续步骤中的培养。
<ol><li>采用无菌技术, 用镊子抓肝, 轻轻摇动肝细胞。撕裂或拉回 Glisson 的胶囊: 当细胞从肝脏中摇动时, 缓冲会变得不透明。</li>
	<li>将细胞溶液倒入50毫升圆锥, 用100µm 过滤器放置在顶部。</li>
	<li>增加更多的缓冲1到肝脏残余和继续震动细胞。继续, 直到肝脏似乎没有细胞, 或当未消化的部分肝脏不再产生细胞。</li>
	<li>将细胞液倒入另一50毫升圆锥, 其中含有40µm 过滤器。</li>
	<li>离心机圆锥在摆动斗转子在 100 x g 3 分钟。 注: 不要使用最大刹车, 因为这可能会去除细胞颗粒。使用刹车在 80%, 这是足够的所有剩余的离心步骤在4°c</li>
	<li>倒出上清 (含有 npc 和死肝细胞) 成一个干净的圆锥状, 并把它放在冰上。确保这是在一个议案, 以观察颗粒附着。</li>
	<li>并用重悬40毫升的缓冲液中的颗粒1。重复步骤4.5 和4.6。并用重悬40毫升的缓冲液中的颗粒3。重复步骤4.5 和4.6 两次。</li>
	<li>并用重悬的纯化肝细胞在温暖的 DMEM + 10% 血清 + 2x 青霉素-链霉素 (笔/链球菌)。</li>
	<li>如果细胞被培养在胶原涂层板上, 允许他们坚持1小时, 并更换培养基至少一次, 因为这将防止任何新生的细菌污染。<ol>
<li>用0.05% 胶原蛋白在0.001% 醋酸中孵化出胶原膜, 至少1小时37摄氏度, 然后用 1x PBS 进行洗涤。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>如果肝细胞生存能力低, 并且渴望获得纯化的高活性肝细胞, 那么请使用从克瑞默et al10中适应的以下协议。<ol>
<li>混合9卷 pvp 溶液 (Percoll, 23% 瓦特/w 溶液的水和 15-30 纳米胶体二氧化硅粒子涂在 polyvinylpyrrolidone 的密度离心) 和1体积 10x HBSS, 使 iso 渗透 PVP 解决方案 (SIP)。</li>
		<li>将24毫升的 SIP 添加到一个不育的50毫升圆锥锥, 可储存在这些条件下长达2月, 在4摄氏度。</li>
		<li>将肝细胞浓度调整为 5-10 x 106细胞/mL, 其培养基如步骤4.8 所述。</li>

作者没有什么可透露的。

此协议突出显示了可用的工具, 这将使用户在该过程中获得很高的成功率。在使用主单元格时, 成功的灌注是任何下游应用程序的基础。
确定成功的过程有几个关键步骤。首先, 导管提示放置在门静脉内必须是正确的。如果放置在肝脏太远, 只有小裂片将被灌注。提示应位于门静脉的右、左分支下方。在针上使用高分子复合导管的优点是, 针的倒钩比导管在灌注过程中更容易撕裂静脉。其次, 胶原酶的质量和数量决定了肝脏的消化效率。在这个过程中, 使用了预合格的胶原酶4型, 它是悬浮在0.5 毫克/毫升的缓冲 2, 如果要测定的胶原酶活性大于900。
在胶原酶灌注的最后, 肝脏应该保留一个有点暗褐色到褐色的颜色。如果它是浅褐色的颜色, 那么大部分的肝细胞都死了。当从老鼠身上剪下来时, 肝脏就会崩溃。在最好的条件下, 肝脏可以用小勺子从老鼠的体腔里挖出来。肝脏在这种情况下总是给予非常高的细胞活力。如果要花很大力气把细胞分开, 如果肝脏在萃取过程中仍然牢固, 或者如果有大量的力量需要通过过滤器移动肝细胞, 那么肝细胞的生存能力就会降低。肝细胞用微绒毛覆盖, 使它们具有很高的表面面积 (图 10)。不完全消化会保留肝细胞之间的胞细胞连接, 而机械剪切则会撕裂细胞膜。原位灌注胶原酶是分离细胞和维持高生存能力的最佳方法。在图 11中, 进行了两种肝细胞制剂, 在缓冲1中进行少量洗涤后, 对细胞颗粒进行比较。左侧的颗粒较轻, 其细胞活力约为50%。右侧的颗粒较暗, 其生存能力为92%。类似地, 当液体从50毫升锥形中倒入时, 深色颗粒在管内是固定的, 与打火机颗粒形成对比, 在液体被浇掉时, 它会在管子中滑动。当肝脏有高硬化程度时, 可能发生低细胞活力或低效显影。
由于活肝细胞的密度高于死肝细胞, 离心过程将导致在可行的肝细胞中高度纯净的准备工作15。如果有大量的死亡肝细胞 (通常发生在条件是次优), 活细胞可以进一步丰富, 并与死细胞分离使用 PVP 梯度。此外, 由于活肝细胞颗粒比死肝细胞快, 3 号球团的顶部rd的吸入也会增加颗粒中活细胞与死体细胞的比值。这些步骤是快速简便的方法, 在需要时将活体与死肝细胞和细胞碎片分开,10,16。这是特别有用的, 如果样品是珍贵的, 只有数以百万计的细胞是必要的实验。
总之, 这是一个简单而有效的方法来收获肝细胞和秒。按目前的价格, 执行这一程序的成本, 包括所有试剂和一次性耗材是低于 75 USD 每准备。如果需要多只老鼠, 最好是进行肝细胞纯化, 并保持在冰上的 NPC 分数, 直到所有的老鼠被处理。npc 通常在冰上稳定至少5小时, 但更长的时间没有被测试在这个实验室。

胶原酶灌注肝脏获得肝细胞已执行自二十世纪五十年代代初, 并不断改善后,1,2,3,4。在迈耶et al5中, 对许多用于肝细胞纯化的方法学、技术和试剂进行了非常好的回顾。获得令人满意的高活性肝细胞产量和秒是技术上的挑战。分离细胞的机械力, 包括胶原酶的质量, 是一些难以控制的变量。由于肝细胞对机械力的敏感性, 在亚优条件下它们的生存能力明显降低, 这促使需要一个描述最佳隔离条件的协议。秒似乎不像对机械剪切敏感。原位灌注胶原酶消化是迄今为止最好的方法来破坏细胞连接, 以获得单细胞制剂从肝脏和其他器官, 如肠道和脾脏6。该协议演示了一种简单的方法, 通过使用可伸缩的塑料导管, 而不是切口, 可以导致门静脉崩溃, 在门静脉中引入灌注缓冲, 如 Smedsrød et al7中所述。
这篇手稿的目的是为了证明在肝脏丰富的程序中成功所需的最关键的步骤。这些步骤包括导管放置, 灌注液体的流动和消化后组织的处理。流速调节在血液流量的自然速率之上, 但足够低, 以保持 Glisson 的胶囊完好无损。一旦肝脏被正确地消化, 细胞在溶液中分离, 细胞纯化就比较简单, 无论是通过差异离心、板粘连还是通过磁珠提纯。活肝细胞密度较高, 易于从非实质细胞 (npc) 和慢速离心死肝细胞中纯化。对于大多数应用来说, 分离枯否细胞 (KCs) 和秒的板粘连是一种常见的方法8, 但有报告说它不产生秒9的最佳纯度。KCs 有倾向坚持坚实刚性表面迅速和培养皿 (标准聚苯乙烯) 是最常用的材料为这个做法。SEC 或 KC 使用抗体共轭磁性珠子进行纯化无疑是对这些细胞进行显著纯化的最佳方法, 尽管该程序在该协议上增加了 3-4 h, 但总产量减少了9。本报告详细说明了最佳肝脏灌注的过程, 通常产生大量可行细胞。

purification of hepatocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells from mouse liver perfusion

本协议说明了一种获得高产量和生存能力的小鼠肝细胞和正弦内皮细胞 (秒) 适合培养或获得细胞裂解物。在这个协议中, 门静脉被用作插管的部位, 而不是腔静脉, 因为这限制了最终肝脏制剂中其他可能的细胞类型的污染。在整个过程中不需要特殊的仪器。水浴作为热的来源, 以保持所有的缓冲和解决方案的温度。采用标准蠕动泵来驱动流体, 离心过程中需要一个冷冻台式离心机。这种技术的唯一限制是在门静脉内放置导管, 这对 18-25 克大小范围内的一些小鼠具有挑战性。这种技术的优点是只有一条静脉用于灌注, 而静脉的通路是快速的, 这可以最大限度地减少肝脏缺血和再灌注, 从而降低肝细胞的活力。这项协议的另一个优点是, 由于离心过程中细胞密度的不同, 人们很容易将活体与死肝细胞的视力区分开来。此协议中的单元格可以用于任何下游应用的细胞培养, 也可用于任何生化评估。

本文介绍了肝脏灌注和肝细胞和秒的纯化/富集的演示、精制方法, 为最佳细胞纯化/浓缩提供了与本参考文献中编写的其他打印报告类似的详细提示。复查5。确定细胞纯化成功的关键步骤出现在胶原酶灌注过程的路线和技术细节中, 并在本议定书中概述。与其他已发布11 (图 1) 的系统相比, 该设备的设置相当简单, 而且成本效益与标准的实验室仪器相对应。在这个设置中, 抱着鼠标的托盘坐在水浴中, 水浴中的一些多余的油管, 以保持在肝脏内的液体灌注的温度。这里所示的仪器可以用于小鼠和大鼠, 对大鼠肝脏灌注有稍微不同的几何12 (图 2)。
在这个过程中, 肝脏通过门静脉灌注而不是腔静脉 (这是另一种流行的灌注途径), 因为它在腹部内容易进入, 并且静脉直接流入肝脏。观察者应该知道, 门静脉有几个小分支, 可能短路的灌流液, 和导管应该被放置在这些分支的最佳成功13(图 3)。一旦门静脉被确定, 弯曲钳被用来绘制手术缝合或涤纶线下的门静脉在肝和上胰十二指肠静脉。该钳也用于理顺门静脉的积极血压 (图 4A)。导管内的针应平行放置在静脉旁 (图 4B), 斜面应轻轻插入静脉腔内 (图 4C)。正确的放置将显示沿导管出现的血液。一旦针被收回, 导管应稳定的线程绑在它和血压将迫使血液通过导管。建议将导管连接至泵浦油管, 然后血液泄漏 (图 4D)。一旦泵管连接, 立即切断一个主要的血管, 如腔静脉或主动脉腹型紫癜为血液/流体引流(图 5 a).通常需要切开老鼠腹壁的一侧, 以充分引流, 因为腹部的血液积聚使得难以想象灌注过程, 血液可以进行细胞纯化 (图 5 B). 一旦 PBS 开始灌注肝脏, 肝脏就会因缺血而漂白 (图 5C)。如果只有少数的裂片漂白, 那么可能的原因是导管被放置在肝脏太远, 需要慢慢地后退。一旦放置导管被确认, 使用防水胶带, 以确保油管到位。一般实验室胶带通常是不够的。为了确认导管的正确放置, 挤压血管以停止引流, 观察肝脏内的增加压力。这样做将有助于从肝脏冲洗血液 (图 5D)。当胶原酶溶液最初进入肝脏以确保所有裂片接触胶原酶时, 也应做到这一点。胶原酶溶液耗尽后, 良好的胶原酶消化是 Glisson 胶囊与软组织分离的指示。
细胞纯化的一般程序概述在图 6和图 7中, 其中肝细胞在低速旋转过程中早期就被收获, 在含 BSA 的缓冲区中4洗涤后非常纯净 (图8).秒与 KCs 在 PVP 梯度上 (图 9a) 进行了联合纯化, 然后通过选择性粘附在胶原涂层聚苯乙烯培养皿上进行分离。使用这种方法的秒纯度是 83-90% 纯, 主要取决于胶原酶消化的整体效果 (图 9B)。使用光显微镜进行定量测量 (肝细胞和秒都有区别于其他细胞的特征) 表明, 在一个代表性的制剂中, 肝细胞的纯度几乎是 100%, 而秒则仅为89% 纯 (表 1)。另外, 在 PVP 梯度后, 磁柱分离可以获得更高的秒富集, 尽管这超出了本协议的范围。关于秒和 KCs 的磁性分离的更多信息可能会在迈耶et . 中找到。9和刘et 。14应该记住的是, 肝细胞的生存能力在未充分消化的肝脏中迅速减少, 但对于 npc 来说, 这并不必要. 未充分消化的肝脏也产生更多的细胞碎片, 这不是完全在离心步骤中被淘汰。

Isolation of Tissue Extracellular Vesicles from the Liver

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be released from many different cell types and detected in most, if not all, body fluids. EVs can participate in cell-to-cell communication by shuttling bioactive molecules such as RNA or protein from one cell to another. Most studies of EVs have been performed in cell culture models or in EVs isolated from body fluids. There is emerging interest in the isolation of EVs from tissues to study their contribution to physiological processes and how they are altered in disease. The isolation of EVs with sufficient yield from tissues is technically challenging because of the need for tissue dissociation without cellular damage. This method describes a procedure for the isolation of EVs from mouse liver tissue. The method involves a two-step process starting with in situ collagenase digestion followed by differential ultra-centrifugation. Tissue perfusion using collagenase provides an advantage over mechanical cutting or homogenization of liver tissue due to its increased yield of obtained EVs. The use of this two-step process to isolate EVs from the liver will be useful for the study of tissue EVs.

This is a protocol to isolate tissue extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the liver. The protocol describes a two-step process involving collagenase perfusion followed by differential ultracentrifugation to isolate liver tissue EVs.

In vivo Liver Endocytosis Followed by Purification of Liver Cells by Liver Perfusion

The liver is the metabolic center of the mammalian body and serves as a filter for the blood. The basic architecture of the liver is illustrated in figure 1 in which more than 85% of the liver mass is composed of hepatocytes and the remaining 15% of the cellular mass is composed of Kupffer cells (KCs), stellate cells (HSCs), and sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs). SECs form the blood vessel walls within the liver and contain specialized morphology called fenestrae within in the cytoplasm. Fenestration of the cytoplasm is the appearance of holes (&tilde;100 &mu;m) within the cells so that the SECs act as a sieve in which most chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants and macromolecules, but not cells, pass through to the hepatocytes and HSCs 1 (Fig. 1). Due to the lack of a basement membrane, the gap between the SECs and hepatocytes form the Space of Disse. HSCs occupy this space and play a prominent role in regulation and response to injury, storage of retinoic acid and immunoregulation of the liver 2.
SECs are among the most endocytically active cells of the body displaying an array of scavenger receptors on their cell surface 3. These include SR-A, Stabilin-1 and Stabilin-2. Generally, small colloidal particles less than 230 nm and macromolecules in buffer phase are taken up by SECs, whereas, large particles and cellular debris is endocytosed (phagocytosed) by KCs 4. Thus, the bulk clearance of extracellular material such as the glycosaminoglycans from blood is largely dependent on the health and endocytic functions of SECs 5,6. For example, an increase in blood hyaluronan levels is indicative of liver disease ranging from mild to more severe forms 7.
With the exception of one report 8, there are no immortalized SEC cell lines in existence. Even this immortalized cell line is de-differentiated in that it does not express scavenger receptors that are present on primary SECs (our data, not shown). All cell biological studies must be performed on primary cells obtained freshly from the animal. Unfortunately, SECs dedifferentiate under standard culture conditions and must be used within 1 or 2 days upon isolation from the animal. Differentiation of SECs is marked by the expression of Stabilin-2 or HARE receptor 9 , CD31, and the presence of cytoplasmic fenestration 1. Differentiation of SECs can be extended by the addition of VEGF in culture media or by culturing cells in hepatocyte conditioned medium 10,11.
In this report, we will demonstrate the endocytic activity of SECs in the intact organ using radio-labeled heparin for hyaluronan for the SEC-specific Stabilin-2 receptor. We will then purify hepatocytes and SECs from the perfused liver to measure endocytosis.

In vivo Liver Endocytosis Followed by Purification of Liver Cells by Liver Perfusion

The study of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) must be performed with primary cells obtained from the animal as no cell lines exist. This method relies on liver digestion and differential centrifugation for SEC purification for subsequent culturing and experimentation.

Electroporation-Mediated Delivery of Cas9 Ribonucleoproteins and mRNA into Freshly Isolated Primary Mouse Hepatocytes

This protocol describes a fast and effective method for isolating primary mouse hepatocytes followed by electroporation-mediated delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 as ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) and mRNA. Primary mouse hepatocytes were isolated using a three-step retrograde perfusion method resulting in high yields of up to 50 &#215; 106 cells per liver and cell viability of &#62;85%. This protocol provides detailed instructions for plating, staining, and culturing hepatocytes. The results indicate that electroporation provides a high transfection efficiency of 89%, as measured by the percentage of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-positive cells and modest cell viability of &#62;35% in mouse hepatocytes.
To demonstrate the utility of this approach, CRISPR-Cas9 targeting the hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase gene was electroporated into primary mouse hepatocytes as proof-of-principle gene editing to disrupt a therapeutic gene related to an inherited metabolic disease (IMD) of the liver. A higher on-target edit of 78% was observed for RNPs compared to 47% editing efficiency with mRNA. The functionality of hepatocytes was evaluated in vitro using an albumin assay that indicated that delivering CRISPR-Cas9 as RNPs and mRNA results in comparable cell viability in primary mouse hepatocytes. A promising application for this protocol is the generation of mouse models for human genetic diseases affecting the liver.

This protocol describes techniques for isolating primary mouse hepatocytes from the liver and electroporating CRISPR-Cas9 as ribonucleoproteins and mRNA to disrupt a therapeutic target gene associated with an inherited metabolic disease of the liver. The methods described result in high viability and high levels of gene modification after electroporation.

Isolation of Regenerating Hepatocytes after Partial Hepatectomy in Mice

Partial hepatectomy has been widely used to investigate liver regeneration in mice, but the isolation of high yields of viable hepatocytes for downstream single-cell applications is challenging. A marked accumulation of lipids within regenerating hepatocytes is observed during the first 2 days of normal liver regeneration in mice. This so-called transient regeneration-associated steatosis (TRAS) is temporary but partially overlaps the major proliferative phase. Density-gradient purification is the backbone of most existing protocols for the isolation of primary hepatocytes. As gradient purification relies on the density and size of cells, it separates non-steatotic from steatotic hepatocyte populations. Therefore, fatty hepatocytes often are lost, yielding non-representative hepatocyte fractions. 
The presented protocol describes an easy and reliable method for the in vivo isolation of regenerating hepatocytes regardless of their lipid content. Hepatocytes from male C57BL/6 mice are isolated 24-48 h after hepatectomy by a classic two-step collagenase perfusion approach. A standard peristaltic pump drives the warmed solutions via the catheterized inferior vena cava into the remnant, using a retrograde perfusion technique with outflow through the portal vein. Hepatocytes are dissociated by collagenase for their release from the Glisson's capsule. After washing and careful centrifugation, the hepatocytes can be used for any downstream analyses. In conclusion, this paper describes a straightforward and reproducible technique for the isolation of a representative population of regenerating hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy in mice. The method may also aid the study of fatty liver disease.

Lipid-laden hepatocytes are inherent to liver regeneration but are usually lost upon density-gradient centrifugation. Here, we present an optimized cell isolation protocol that retains steatotic hepatocytes, yielding representative populations of regenerating hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy in mice.

Isolation and 3D Collagen Sandwich Culture of Primary Mouse Hepatocytes to Study the Role of Cytoskeleton in Bile Canalicular Formation In Vitro

Hepatocytes are the central cells of the liver responsible for its metabolic function. As such, they form a uniquely polarized epithelium, in which two or more hepatocytes contribute apical membranes to form a bile canalicular network through which bile is secreted. Hepatocyte polarization is essential for correct canalicular formation and depends on interactions between the hepatocyte cytoskeleton, cell-cell contacts, and the extracellular matrix. In vitro studies of hepatocyte cytoskeleton involvement in canaliculi formation and its response to pathological situations are handicapped by the lack of cell culture, which would closely resemble the canaliculi network structure in vivo. Described here is a protocol for the isolation of mouse hepatocytes from the adult mouse liver using a modified collagenase perfusion technique. Also described is the production of culture in a 3D collagen sandwich setting, which is used for immunolabeling of cytoskeletal components to study bile canalicular formation and its response to treatments in vitro. It is shown that hepatocyte 3D collagen sandwich cultures respond to treatments with toxins (ethanol) or actin cytoskeleton altering drugs (e.g., blebbistatin) and serve as a valuable tool for in vitro studies of bile canaliculi formation and function.

Presented here is a protocol for the isolation of mouse hepatocytes from adult mouse livers using a modified collagenase perfusion technique. Also described is the long-term culture of hepatocytes in a 3D collagen sandwich setting as well as immunolabeling of the cytoskeletal components to study bile canalicular formation and its response to treatment.

An Improved Time- and Labor- Efficient Protocol for Mouse Primary Hepatocyte Isolation

Primary hepatocytes are used extensively in liver in vitro research, especially in glucose metabolism studies. A base technique has been adapted based on different needs, like time, labor, cost, and primary hepatocyte usage, resulting in various primary hepatocyte isolation protocols. However, the numerous steps and time-consuming reagent preparations in primary hepatocyte isolation are major drawbacks for efficiency. After comparing different protocols for their pros and cons, the advantages of each were combined, and a rapid and efficient primary hepatocyte isolation protocol was formulated. Within only ~35 min, this protocol could yield as much, if not more, healthy primary hepatocytes as other protocols. Further, glucose metabolism experiments performed using the isolated primary hepatocytes validated the usefulness of this protocol in in vitro liver metabolism studies. We also extensively reviewed and analyzed the significance and purpose of each step in this study so that future researchers can further optimize this protocol based on needs.

Primary hepatocytes are a valuable tool to study liver response and metabolism in vitro. Utilizing commercially available reagents, an improved time- and labor-efficient protocol for mouse primary hepatocyte isolation was developed.

Isolation of Primary Rat Hepatocytes with Multiparameter Perfusion Control

Primary hepatocytes are widely used in basic research on liver diseases and for toxicity testing in vitro. The two-step collagenase perfusion procedure for primary hepatocyte isolation is technically challenging, especially in portal vein cannulation. The procedure is also prone to occasional contamination and variations in perfusion conditions due to difficulties in the assembly, optimization, or maintenance of the perfusion setup. Here, a detailed protocol for an improved two-step collagenase perfusion procedure with multiparameter perfusion control is presented. Primary rat hepatocytes were successfully and reliably isolated by taking the necessary technical precautions at critical steps of the procedure, and by reducing the operational difficulty and mitigating the variability of perfusion parameters through the adoption of a special intravenous catheter, standardized sterile disposable tubing, temperature control, and real-time monitoring and alarm system. The isolated primary rat hepatocytes consistently exhibit high cell viability (85%-95%), yield (2-5 x 108 cells per 200-300 g rat) and functionality (albumin, urea and CYP activity). The procedure was complemented by an integrated perfusion system, which is compact enough to be set up in the laminar flow hood to ensure aseptic operation.

This protocol details the use of a special intravenous catheter, standardized sterile disposable tubing, temperature control complemented by real-time monitoring, and an alarm system for two-step collagenase perfusion procedure to improve the consistency in the viability, yield, and functionality of isolated primary rat hepatocytes.

Isolation and Characterization of Mouse Primary Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are specialized endothelial cells located at the interface between the circulation and the liver parenchyma. LSECs have a distinct morphology characterized by the presence of fenestrae and the absence of basement membrane. LSECs play essential roles in many pathological disorders in the liver, including metabolic dysregulation, inflammation, fibrosis, angiogenesis, and carcinogenesis. However, little has been published about the isolation and characterization of the LSECs. Here, this protocol discusses the isolation of LSEC from both healthy and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) mice. The protocol is based on collagenase perfusion of the mouse liver and magnetic beads positive selection of nonparenchymal cells to purify LSECs. This study characterizes LSECs using specific markers by flow cytometry and identifies the characteristic phenotypic features by scanning electron microscopy. LSECs isolated following this protocol can be used for functional studies, including adhesion and permeability assays, as well as downstream studies for a particular pathway of interest. In addition, these LSECs can be pooled or used individually, allowing multi-omics data generation including RNA-seq bulk or single cell, proteomic or phospho-proteomics, and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), among others. This protocol will be useful for investigators studying LSECs&#39; communication with other liver cells in health and disease and allow an in-depth understanding of the role of LSECs in the pathogenic mechanisms of acute and chronic liver injury.

Here we outline and demonstrate a protocol for primary mouse liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC) isolation. The protocol is based on liver collagenase perfusion, nonparenchymal cell purification by low-speed centrifugation, and CD146 magnetic bead selection. We also phenotype and characterize these isolated LSECs using flow cytometry and scanning electron microscopy.

Rat Liver Perfusion and Primary Hepatocytes Isolation: An Old Procedure Crucial for Cutting-Edge 3D Organoids Culture

Primary hepatocytes are a commonly used tool for in vitro liver-related studies. However, the maintenance of these cells has always been a challenge due to the rapid loss of morphology, viability, and functionality in culture. A recent approach to long-term culture is the generation of three-dimensional (3D) organoids, an in vitro tool that can recapitulate tissues in a dish based on the marvelous ability of the liver to regenerate itself. Published protocols have been designed to obtain long-term functional 3D organoids from primary adult hepatocytes (Hep-Orgs). The 3D organoid cutting-edge tool requires the ability to isolate cells from adult tissue, and this initial step is crucial for a high-quality final result. The two-step collagenase perfusion, introduced in the 1970s, is still a valid procedure to obtain single hepatocytes. The present article aims to describe all the crucial steps of the surgical procedure, thereby optimizing the primary hepatocytes isolation procedure in the rat model. Moreover, particular attention is paid to the PREPARE guidelines to increase the likelihood of successful procedures and ensure high-quality results. A detailed protocol allows researchers to speed up and optimize the downstream work to establish 3D organoids from primary adult rat hepatocytes. Compared to 2D hepatocytes, Hep-Orgs were still viable and in active proliferation at Day 15, demonstrating a long-term potential.

This protocol presents an optimized two-step collagenase liver perfusion technique in a rat model and shows the use of isolated hepatocytes for in vitro long-term culture of 3D organoids.
