摘要:Our previous study demonstrated that reticuloendothelial system function can be monitored by in vivo clearance of chondroitin sulfate iron colloid [Ishida, H. et al . (1991): J. Biochem. Biophys. Methods ; Ishida, H. et al (1992): J. Biochem. Biophys. Methods ; Tsujinaka, T. et al . (1993): JPEN ]. In the present study hepatic clearance of radiolabeled chondroitin sulfate iron colloid (CS59Fe) was investigated in detail. When administered intravenously, CS59Fe was taken up by not only Kupffer cells but also liver endothelial cells and liver parenchymal cells. Radioactivity per 106 cells was highest in Kupffer cells. When binding of CS59Fe to isolated liver cells was examined at 4°C, the association of CS59Fe showed a good linearity on a double-reciprocal plot, giving N r (number of receptors) and K p (membrane-particle constant). N r was greatest of all for Kupffer cells. When CS59Fe was pretreated with plasma, the N r increased and K p decreased in Kupffer cells and liver endothelial cells, whereas K p increased in liver parenchymal cells. However, no influence was found as a result of pre-treatment of CS59Fe with fibronectin or heated plasma. The addition of mannan had no effect. This in vitro chondroitin sulfate iron colloid binding assay may be useful to evaluate effects of various mediators on phagocytosis of hepatic cells.
