摘要：The role of the hepatocyte microtubular system in the transport and excretion of bile salts and biliary lipid has not been defined. In this study the effects of microtubule inhibition on biliary excretion of micelle- and non-micelle-forming bile salts and associated lipid were examined in rats. Low-dose colchicine pretreatment had no effect on the baseline excretion of biliary bile salts and phospholipid in animals studied 1 hr after surgery (basal animals), but slightly retarded the excretion of tracer [14C]taurocholate relative to that of lumicolchicine-pretreated (control) rats. However, colchicine pretreatment resulted in a marked reduction in the excretion of 2 mumol/100 g doses of a series of four micelle-forming bile salts of differing hydrophilicity, but had no significant effect on the excretion of the non-micelle-forming bile salt, taurodehydrocholate. Continuous infusion of 0.2 mumol of taurocholate/(100 g.min) following 24 hr of biliary drainage (depleted/reinfused animals) resulted in physiologic bile flow with biliary excretion rates of bile salts, phospholipid, and cholesterol that were markedly inhibited (mean 33, 39, and 42%, respectively) by colchicine or vinblastine pretreatment. Excretion of tracer [14C]taurocholate also was markedly delayed by colchicine in these bile salt-depleted/reinfused animals. In contrast, colchicine did not inhibit bile salt excretion in response to reinfusion of taurodehydrocholate. Thus, under basal conditions, the microtubular system appears to play a minor role in hepatic transport and excretion of bile salts and biliary lipid. However, biliary excretion of micelle-forming bile salts and associated phospholipid and cholesterol becomes increasingly dependent on microtubular integrity as the transcellular flux and biliary excretion of bile salts increases, in both bile salt-depleted and basal animals. We postulate that cotransport of micelle-forming bile salts and lipids destined for biliary excretion, via an intracellular vesicular pathway, forms the basis for this microtubule dependence.
