Abstract
The design of glycogen phosphorylase (GP) inhibitors targeting the catalytic site of the enzyme is a promising strategy for a better control of hyperglycaemia in the context of type 2 diabetes. Glucopyranosylidene-spiro-heterocycles have been demonstrated as potent GP inhibitors, and more specifically spiro-oxathiazoles. A new synthetic route has now been elaborated through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an aryl nitrile oxide to a glucono-thionolactone affording in one step the spiro-oxathiazole moiety. The thionolactone was obtained from the thermal rearrangement of a thiosulfinate precursor according to Fairbanks' protocols, although with a revisited outcome and also rationalised with DFT calculations. The 2-naphthyl substituted glucose-based spiro-oxathiazole 5h, identified as one of the most potent GP inhibitors (Ki = 160 nM against RMGPb) could be produced on the gram-scale from this strategy. Further evaluation in vitro using rat and human hepatocytes demonstrated that compound 5h is a anti-hyperglycaemic drug candidates performing slightly better than DAB used as a positive control. Investigation in Zucker fa/fa rat model in acute and subchronic assays further confirmed the potency of compound 5h since it lowered blood glucose levels by ∼36% at 30 mg kg-1 and ∼43% at 60 mg kg-1. The present study is one of the few in vivo investigations for glucose-based GP inhibitors and provides data in animal models for such drug candidates.

Abstract
Growth factors have key roles in liver physiology and pathology, particularly by promoting cell proliferation and growth. Recently, it has been shown that in mouse hepatocytes, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a crucial role in the activation of the xenosensor constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) by the antiepileptic drug phenobarbital. Due to the species selectivity of CAR signaling, here we investigated epidermal growth factor (EGF) role in CAR signaling in primary human hepatocytes. Primary human hepatocytes were incubated with CITCO, a human CAR agonist, or with phenobarbital, an indirect CAR activator, in the presence or absence of EGF. CAR-dependent gene expression modulation and PXR involvement in these responses were assessed upon siRNA-based silencing of the genes that encode CAR and PXR. EGF significantly reduced CAR expression and prevented gene induction by CITCO and, to a lower extent, by phenobarbital. In the absence of EGF, phenobarbital and CITCO modulated the expression of 144 and 111 genes, respectively, in primary human hepatocytes. Among these genes, only 15 were regulated by CITCO and one by phenobarbital in a CAR-dependent manner. Conversely, in the presence of EGF, CITCO and phenobarbital modulated gene expression only in a CAR-independent and PXR-dependent manner. Overall, our findings suggest that in primary human hepatocytes, EGF suppresses specifically CAR signaling mainly through transcriptional regulation and drives the xenobiotic response toward a pregnane X receptor (PXR)-mediated mechanism.

Abstract
The accumulation of lipid droplets (LD) is frequently observed in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and represents an important risk factor for the development of liver steatosis and cirrhosis. The mechanisms of LD biogenesis and growth remain open questions. Here, transcriptome analysis reveals a significant upregulation of septin 9 in HCV-induced cirrhosis compared with the normal liver. HCV infection increases septin 9 expression and induces its assembly into filaments. Septin 9 regulates LD growth and perinuclear accumulation in a manner dependent on dynamic microtubules. The effects of septin 9 on LDs are also dependent on binding to PtdIns5P, which, in turn, controls the formation of septin 9 filaments and its interaction with microtubules. This previously undescribed cooperation between PtdIns5P and septin 9 regulates oleate-induced accumulation of LDs. Overall, our data offer a novel route for LD growth through the involvement of a septin 9/PtdIns5P signalling pathway.

Abstract
Hepatocyte transplantation is a promising alternative therapy for the treatment of hepatic failure, hepatocellular deficiency, and genetic metabolic disorders. Hypothermic preservation of isolated human hepatocytes is potentially a simple and convenient strategy to provide on-demand hepatocytes in sufficient quantity and of the quality required for biotherapy. In this study, first we assessed how cold storage in three clinically safe preservative solutions (UW, HTS-FRS, and IGL-1) affects the viability and in vitro functionality of human hepatocytes. Then we evaluated whether such cold-preserved human hepatocytes could engraft and repopulate damaged livers in a mouse model of liver failure. Human hepatocytes showed comparable viabilities after cold preservation in the three solutions. The ability of fresh and cold-stored hepatocytes to attach to a collagen substratum and to synthesize and secrete albumin, coagulation factor VII, and urea in the medium after 3 days in culture was also equally preserved. Cold-stored hepatocytes were then transplanted in the spleen of immunodeficient mice previously infected with adenoviruses containing a thymidine kinase construct and treated with a single dose of ganciclovir to induce liver injury. Engraftment and liver repopulation were monitored over time by measuring the blood level of human albumin and by assessing the expression of specific human hepatic mRNAs and proteins in the recipient livers by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Our findings show that cold-stored human hepatocytes in IGL-1 and HTS-FRS preservative solutions can survive, engraft, and proliferate in a damaged mouse liver. These results demonstrate the usefulness of human hepatocyte hypothermic preservation for cell transplantation.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3a infection poses a serious health problem worldwide. A significant association has been reported between HCV genotype 3a infections and hepatic steatosis. Nevertheless, virological characterization of genotype 3a HCV is delayed due to the lack of appropriate virus cell culture systems. In the present study, we established the first infectious genotype 3a HCV system by introducing adaptive mutations into the S310 strain. HCV core proteins had different locations in JFH-1 and S310 virus-infected cells. Furthermore, the lipid content in S310 virus-infected cells was higher than Huh7.5.1 cells and JFH-1 virus-infected cells as determined by the lipid droplet staining area. CONCLUSION This genotype 3a infectious cell culture system may be a useful experimental model for studying genotype 3a viral life cycles, molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis, and genotype 3a-specific antiviral drug development.

Abstract
The wingless-type MMTV integration site family (WNT)/β-catenin/adenomatous polyposis coli (CTNNB1/APC) pathway has been identified as a regulator of drug-metabolizing enzymes in the rodent liver. Conversely, little is known about the role of this pathway in drug metabolism regulation in human liver. Primary human hepatocytes (PHHs), which are the most physiologically relevant culture system to study drug metabolism in vitro, were used to investigate this issue. This study assessed the link between cytochrome P450 expression and WNT/β-catenin pathway activity in PHHs by modulating its activity with recombinant mouse Wnt3a (the canonical activator), inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase 3β, and small-interfering RNA to invalidate CTNNB1 or its repressor APC, used separately or in combination. We found that the WNT/β-catenin pathway can be activated in PHHs, as assessed by universal β-catenin target gene expression, leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 5. Moreover, WNT/β-catenin pathway activation induces the expression of CYP2E1, CYP1A2, and aryl hydrocarbon receptor, but not of CYP3A4, hepatocyte nuclear factor-4α, or pregnane X receptor (PXR) in PHHs. Specifically, we show for the first time that CYP2E1 is transcriptionally regulated by the WNT/β-catenin pathway. Moreover, CYP2E1 induction was accompanied by an increase in its metabolic activity, as indicated by the increased production of 6-OH-chlorzoxazone and by glutathione depletion after incubation with high doses of acetaminophen. In conclusion, the WNT/β-catenin pathway is functional in PHHs, and its induction in PHHs represents a powerful tool to evaluate the hepatotoxicity of drugs that are metabolized by CYP2E1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adult primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) support the complete infection cycle of natural HCV from patients' sera. The molecular details underlying sera infectivity towards these cells remain largely unknown. Therefore, we sought to gain a deeper comprehension of these features in the most physiologically relevant culture system. DESIGN Using kinetic experiments, we defined the optimal conditions to infect PHH and explored the link between cell organisation and permissivity. Based on their infectivity, about 120 sera were classified in three groups. Concentration of 52 analytes was measured in 79 selected sera using multiplexed immunobead-based analyte profiling. RESULTS PHH permissivity towards HCV infection negatively correlated with cell polarisation and formation of functional bile canaliculi. PHH supported HCV replication for at least 2 weeks with de novo virus production. Depending on their reactivity, sera could be classified in three groups of high, intermediate or low infectivity toward PHH. Infectivity could not be predicted based on the donors' clinical characteristics, viral load or genotype. Interestingly, highly infectious sera displayed a specific cytokine profile with low levels of most of the 52 tested analytes. Among them, 24 cytokines/growth factors could impact hepatocyte biology and infection efficiency. CONCLUSIONS We identified critical factors leading to efficient PHH infection by HCV sera in vitro. Overall, we showed that this cellular model provides a useful tool for studying the mechanism of HCV infection in its natural host cell, selecting highly infectious isolates, and determining the potency of drugs towards various HCV strains.

Abstract
Background In Huntington’s disease (HD), the ratio between normal and mutant Huntingtin (polyQ-hHtt) is crucial in the onset and progression of the disease. As a result, addition of normal Htt was shown to improve polyQ-hHtt-induced defects. Therefore, we recently identified, within human Htt, a 23aa peptide (P42) that prevents aggregation and polyQ-hHtt-induced phenotypes in HD Drosophila model. In this report, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of P42 in a mammalian model of the disease, R6/2 mice. Results To this end, we developed an original strategy for P42 delivery, combining the properties of the cell penetrating peptide TAT from HIV with a nanostructure-based drug delivery system (Aonys® technology), to form a water-in-oil microemulsion (referred to as NP42T) allowing non-invasive per mucosal buccal/rectal administration of P42. Using MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry, we verified the correct targeting of NP42T into the brain, after per mucosal administration. We then evaluated the effects of NP42T in R6/2 mice. We found that P42 (and/or derivatives) are delivered into the brain and target most of the cells, including the neurons of the striatum. Buccal/rectal daily administrations of NP42T microemulsion allowed a clear improvement of behavioural HD-associated defects (foot-clasping, rotarod and body weights), and of several histological markers (aggregation, astrogliosis or ventricular areas) recorded on brain sections. Conclusions These data demonstrate that NP42T presents an unprecedented protective effect, and highlight a new therapeutic strategy for HD, associating an efficient peptide with a powerful delivery technology.

Abstract
One of the main challenges for neurodegenerative disorders that are principally incurable is the development of new therapeutic strategies, which raises important medical, scientific and societal issues. Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseases are rare neurodegenerative fatal disorders which today remain incurable. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the down-regulation of the prion protein (PrP) expression using siRNA delivered by, a water-in-oil microemulsion, as a therapeutic candidate in a preclinical study. After 12 days rectal mucosa administration of Aonys/PrP-siRNA in mice, we observed a decrease of about 28% of the brain PrPC level. The effect of Aonys/PrP-siRNA was then evaluated on prion infected mice. Several mice presented a delay in the incubation and survival time compared to the control groups and a significant impact was observed on astrocyte reaction and neuronal survival in the PrP-siRNA treated groups. These results suggest that a new therapeutic scheme based an innovative delivery system of PrP-siRNA can be envisioned in prion disorders.

Abstract
It has been shown that the liver of immunodeficient mice can be efficiently repopulated with human hepatocytes when subjected to chronic hepatocellular damage. Mice with such chimeric livers represent useful reagents for medical and clinical studies. However all previously reported models of humanized livers are difficult to implement as they involve cross-breeding of immunodeficient mice with mice exhibiting genetic alterations causing sustained hepatic injury. In this paper we attempted to create chimeric livers by inducing persistent hepatocellular damage in immunodeficient Rag2(-/-) γc(-/-) mice using an adenovirus encoding herpes virus thymidine kinase (AdTk) and two consecutive doses of ganciclovir (GCV). We found that this treatment resulted in hepatocellular damage persisting for at least 10 weeks and enabled efficient engraftment and proliferation within the liver of either human or allogenic hepatocytes. Interestingly, while the nodules generated from the transplanted mouse hepatocytes were well vascularized, the human hepatocytes experienced progressive depolarization and exhibited reduced numbers of murine endothelial cells inside the nodules. In conclusion, AdTk/GCV-induced liver damage licenses the liver of immunodeficient mice for allogenic and xenogenic hepatocyte repopulation. This approach represents a simple alternative strategy for chimeric liver generation using immunodeficient mice without additional genetic manipulation of the germ line.

Abstract
Inflammation and infection have long been known to affect the activity and expression of enzymes involved in hepatic and extrahepatic drug clearance. Significant advances have been made to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex cross-talk between inflammation and drug-metabolism alterations. The emergent role of ligand-activated transcriptional regulators, belonging to the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily, is now well established. The NRs, pregnane X receptor, constitutive androstane receptor, retinoic X receptor, glucocorticoid receptor, and hepatocyte nuclear factor 4, and the basic helix-loop-helix/Per-ARNT-Sim family member, aryl hydrocarbon receptor, are the main regulators of the detoxification function. According to the panel of mediators secreted during inflammation, a cascade of numerous signaling pathways is activated, including nuclear factor kappa B, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription pathways. Complex cross-talk is established between these signaling pathways regulating either constitutive or induced gene expression. In most cases, a mutual antagonism between xenosensor and inflammation signaling occurs. This review focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms implicated in this cross-talk.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3a is widespread worldwide, but no replication system exists for its study. We describe a subgenomic replicon system for HCV genotype 3a. We determined the consensus sequence of an HCV genome isolated from a patient, and constructed a subgenomic replicon using this clone. The replicon was transfected into HuH-7 cells and RNA replication was confirmed. We identified cell culture-adaptive mutations that increased colony formation multiple-fold. We have therefore established a genotype 3a replicon system that can be used to study this HCV genotype.

Abstract
In vitro production of human hepatocytes is of primary importance in basic research, pharmacotoxicology and biotherapy of liver diseases. We have developed a protocol of differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (ES) towards hepatocyte-like cells (ES-Hep). Using a set of human adult markers including CAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBPalpha), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4/7 ratio (HNF4alpha1/HNF4alpha7), cytochrome P450 7A1 (CYP7A1), CYP3A4 and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), and fetal markers including alpha-fetoprotein, CYP3A7 and glutathione S-transferase P1, we analyzed the expression of a panel of 41 genes in ES-Hep comparatively with human adult primary hepatocytes, adult and fetal liver. The data revealed that after 21 days of differentiation, ES-Hep are representative of fetal hepatocytes at less than 20 weeks of gestation. The glucocorticoid receptor pathway was functional in ES-Hep. Extending protocols of differentiation to 4 weeks did not improve cell maturation. When compared with hepatocyte-like cells derived from adult liver non parenchymal epithelial (NPE) cells (NPE-Hep), ES-Hep expressed several adult and fetal liver makers at much greater levels (at least one order of magnitude), consistent with greater expression of liver-enriched transcription factors Forkhead box A2, C/EBPalpha, HNF4alpha and HNF6. It therefore seems that ES-Hep reach a better level of differentiation than NPE-Hep and that these cells use different lineage pathways towards the hepatic phenotype. Finally we showed that lentivirus-mediated expression of xenoreceptor CAR in ES-Hep induced the expression of several detoxification genes including CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, UDP-glycosyltransferase 1A1, solute carriers 21A6, as well as biotransformation of midazolam, a CYP3A4-specific substrate.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), one of the most common mycotoxins found in human foods and animal feed, is principally hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic. The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of AFB1 on messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of pregnane X receptor (PXR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and some of their target cytochromes using primary cultures of human hepatocytes. Our results showed that AFB1, at noncytotoxic increasing concentrations, caused a significant upregulation of cytochrome P 2B6 (CYP2B6), CYP3A5, and to a lesser extent CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Pregnane X receptor and CAR mRNA expression increased in the 3 treated livers. Aflatoxin B1 was found also to induce an overexpression of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes accompanied by an increase in AhR mRNA expression. These findings suggest that AFB1 could activate PXR, CAR, and AhR; however, further investigations are needed to confirm nuclear receptor activation by AFB1.

Abstract
The mycotoxin, patulin (PAT), which is frequently found in apples, grapes, oranges, pear, peaches, and in apple juices, has previously been shown to be cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic. In this study, we have investigated the effect of PAT on mRNA level of pregnane X receptor (PXR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and their corresponding target cytochrome P450s. Using primary cultures of adult human hepatocytes, we evaluated PAT cytotoxicity on hepatocytes after 24 hours of treatment. Real time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction procedure was employed to determine the effect of PAT on receptors (PXR, CAR, and AhR) and cytochrome (CYP3A4, 2B6, 3A5, 2C9, 1A1, and 1A2) genes. Our results showed that PAT reduced hepatocyte viability. At a noncytotoxic range of PAT concentrations, PAT induced an upregulation of the PXR gene in the three treated hepatocytes cultures, whereas CAR was overexpressed in only 1 treated liver. PXR gene induction was accompanied by the enhancement of CYP2B6, 3A5, 2C9, and 3A4 expression. PAT was also found to induce an overexpression of AhR and CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression. These findings suggested that PAT may activate PXR and/or CAR and AhR. However, further investigations are needed to confirm nuclear receptor activation by PAT and to elucidate the molecular mechanism of PAT action.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by fungi of two genera: Penicillium and Aspergillus. OTA has been shown to be nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, teratogenic, and immunotoxic to several species of animals and to cause kidney and liver tumors in mice and rats. Biotransformation of OTA has not been entirely elucidated. Several metabolites have been characterized in vitro and/or in vivo, whereas other metabolites remain to be characterized. At present, data available regarding OTA metabolism and cytochrome inductions concern only rodents or in vitro systems. The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of OTA on mRNA expression of some cytochromes known to be regulated by pregnane X receptor (PXR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), using primary cultures of human hepatocytes. Our results showed that OTA reduced hepatocyte viability in a dose-dependent manner. Using quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, our study showed that treatment of primary cultured human hepatocytes with noncytotoxic increasing concentrations of OTA for 24 hours caused a significant upregulation of CYP3A4, CYP2B6, and, to a lesser extent, CYP3A5 and CYP2C9. PXR mRNA expression increased in only 1 treated liver, whereas CAR mRNA expression was not affected. OTA was found also to induce an overexpression of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes accompanied by an increase in AhR mRNA expression. These findings suggest that OTA could activate PXR and AhR; however, further investigations are needed to confirm nuclear-receptor activation by OTA.

Abstract
Down-regulation of detoxification genes, notably cytochrome P450 (CYPs), in primary hepatocyte cultures is a long-standing and major concern. We evaluated the influence of medium flow in this model. Hepatocytes isolated from 12 different liver donors were cultured either in a multichamber modular bioreactor (MCmB, flow rate 250-500 μL/min) or under standard/static conditions, and the expression of 32 genes, enzyme activities and biological parameters were measured 7-21 days later. mRNA expression of genes involved in xenobiotic/drug metabolism and transport, including CYP1A1, 1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 3A4 (and activities for some of them), UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1, UGT2B4, UGT2B7, glutathione S-transferase (GSTα), and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) and MRP2, were specifically up-regulated by medium flow as compared with static controls in all cultures tested. In 2-week-old cultures, expression of detoxification genes reached levels close to or higher than those measured in freshly isolated hepatocytes. In contrast, CYP2D6 and most of other tested genes were not affected by medium flow. We conclude that medium flow specifically interferes with, and up-regulates, the activity of xenosensors and/or the expression of detoxification genes in primary human hepatocytes. Down-regulation of detoxification genes in conventional (static) cultures is therefore partly a consequence of the absence of medium circulation.

Abstract
The mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) is found worldwide as a contaminant in cereals and grains. ZEN subchronic and chronic toxicities are dominated by reproductive disorders in different mammalian species which have made ZEN established mammalian endocrine disrupter. Over the last 30 years of ZEN biotransformation study, the toxin was thought to undergo reductive metabolism only, with the generation in several species of α- and β-isomers of zearalenol. However, recent investigations have noticed that the mycoestrogen is prone to oxidative metabolism leading to hydroxylation of ZEN though the involvement of different cytochromes P450 (CYPs) isoforms. The aim of the present study was to further explore the effect of ZEN on regulation of some CYPs using primary cultures of human hepatocytes. For this aim, using real time RT-PCR, we monitored in a first time, the effect of ZEN on mRNA levels of pregnane X receptor (PXR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), nuclear receptors known to be involved in the regulation of some CYPs. In a second time, we looked for ZEN effect on expression of PXR, CAR and AhR corresponding phase I target genes (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP1A1 and CYP1A2). Finally, we realised the luciferase assay in HepG2 treated with the toxin and transiently transfected with p-CYP3A4-Luc in the presence of a hPXR vector or transfected with p-CYPA1-Luc.Our results clearly showed that ZEN activated human PXR, CAR and AhR mRNA levels in addition to some of their phase I target genes mainly CYP3A4, CYP2B6 and CYP1A1 and at lesser extent CYP3A5 and CYP2C9 at ZEN concentrations as low as 0.1 μM.

Abstract
Drugs for weight loss have been in use for nearly hundred years. Orlistat (Xenical) is a non-centrally acting anti-obesity drug that inactivates gastric and intestinal lipases, thus, preventing absorption of dietary triglycerides. There are reports indicating that Orlistat reduces bioavailability of Cyclosporin to a clinically relevant degree. Since Cyclosporin is metabolized by cytochrome P450 CYP3A4, we examined whether interaction between Orlistat and Cyclosporin involves induction of CYP3A4. Human Caucasian colon adenocarcinoma cells LS174T and primary cultures of human hepatocytes were used, as in vitro models of intestinal and hepatic cells, respectively. Treatment of LS174T cells for 24h with Orlistat (1-100mg/L) did not cause induction of CYP3A4 mRNA levels as compared to control cells while Orlistat (100mg/L) slightly induced CYP3A4 mRNA in human hepatocytes. Rifampicin, a model CYP3A4 inducer, significantly induced CYP3A4 mRNA in both types of cells. The level of CYP3A4 protein in human hepatocytes was increased by Orlistat after 48h, while rifampicin strongly induced CYP3A4 protein level. In addition, Orlistat moderately dose-independently activated pregnane X receptor (PXR) in LS174T cells transiently transfected with p3A4-luc reporter construct containing the basal promoter (-362/+53) with proximal PXR response element and the distal xenobiotic responsive enhancer module (-7836/-7208) of the CYP3A4 gene 5'-flanking region. In conclusion, we report here that Orlistat is weak PXR activator and CYP3A4 inducer in human hepatocytes, but it has no effect on CYP3A4 in intestinal cells, implying no role of CYP3A4 induction in the interaction between Orlistat and Cyclosporin in absorption process.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that the alkaloid colchicine (COL) inhibits glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transcriptional activity. In addition, we described proteasome-mediated degradation of GR in COL-treated HeLa cells. While these effects were previously attributed to cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase, this explanation is not applicable for nonproliferating cells such as human hepatocytes (HH). In the current study, we compared COL-mediated microtubule disruption and cell cycle arrest with selected GR functions in HeLa cells and HH as models of proliferating and quiescent cells, respectively. Microtubule disruption led to irreversible decrease in GR binding capacity and protein level in HeLa cells. None of the parameters was restored 24 hours after COL withdrawal. In contrast, dexamethasone (DEX) binding was increased in HH at the beginning of the treatment, with following transient activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). The findings of these investigations emphasize the GR-signaling differences between primary and transformed cells.

Abstract
The pregnane X receptors (PXRs) and the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) were initially isolated as nuclear receptors regulating xenobiotic metabolism and elimination, alleviating chemical insults. However, recent works suggest that these xenoreceptors play an endobiotic role in modulating hepatic lipid metabolism. In this study, we show that CAR activators]phenobarbital and 6-(4-chlorophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole-5-carbaldehyde O-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)oxime] induce the lipogenic gene thyroid hormone-responsive spot 14 protein (THRSP) (or Spot14, S14) expression in human hepatocytes. In addition, we report that treatment of wild-type mice with mCAR activators (phenobarbital and 1,4-Bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene) efficiently increases thrsp expression, in contrast to CAR null mice. We demonstrate that CAR directly transactivates THRSP promoter through the direct repeat with 4-bp spacer thyroid hormone and PXR response element. Deletion or point mutations within this PXR response element led to a drastic inhibition of CAR-mediated THRSP transactivation. Gel-shift analysis revealed that the CAR/retinoid X receptor complex binds to this element. In conclusion, our results indicate that THRSP gene is a CAR and PXR target gene. Because THRSP expression correlates with lipogenesis and insulin sensitivity, our data suggest that CAR and/or PXR activating drugs and xenobiotics may promote aberrant hepatic de novo lipogenesis leading potentially to fatty liver diseases and insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection leads to progressive liver disease, frequently culminating in fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The mechanisms underlying liver injury in chronic hepatitis C are poorly understood. This study evaluated the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in hepatocyte polarity and HCV infection. METHODS We used polarized hepatoma cell lines and the recently described infectious HCV Japanese fulminant hepatitis (JFH)-1 cell culture system to study the role of VEGF in regulating hepatoma permeability and HCV infection. RESULTS VEGF negatively regulates hepatocellular tight junction integrity and cell polarity by a novel VEGF receptor 2-dependent pathway. VEGF reduced hepatoma tight junction integrity, induced a re-organization of occludin, and promoted HCV entry. Conversely, inhibition of hepatoma expressed VEGF with the receptor kinase inhibitor sorafenib or with neutralizing anti-VEGF antibodies promoted polarization and inhibited HCV entry, showing an autocrine pathway. HCV infection of primary hepatocytes or hepatoma cell lines promoted VEGF expression and reduced their polarity. Importantly, treatment of HCV-infected cells with VEGF inhibitors restored their ability to polarize, showing a VEGF-dependent pathway. CONCLUSIONS Hepatic polarity is critical to normal liver physiology. HCV infection promotes VEGF expression that depolarizes hepatoma cells, promoting viral transmission and lymphocyte migration into the parenchyma that may promote hepatocyte injury.

Abstract
Coagulation is the complex process by which activation of plasmatic haemostasis proteins ends up with the generation of fibrin. Most of the plasma coagulation proteins are synthesized in hepatocytes. The aim of this chapter is to describe experimental procedures allowing to measure the secretion by primary human hepatocytes and functional activity (including production of fibrillar material from extracellular medium) of haemostasis proteins including factors II, V, VII, VIII, PIVKA-II (protein induced by vitK 1 absence or antagonist II), antithrombin and protein S. In addition, we show how treatments of hepatocyte cultures with vitamin K and/or warfarin affect the secretion of haemostasis proteins. The results demonstrate that primary cultures of human hepatocytes constitute an invaluable model for investigating haemostasis protein expression and activity and therapeutic strategies targeting these proteins.

Abstract
Highly differentiated normal human hepatocytes represent the gold standard cellular model for basic and applied research in liver physiopathology, pharmacology, toxicology, virology, and liver biotherapy. Nowadays, although livers from organ donors or medically required resections represent the current sources of hepatocytes, the possibility to generate hepatocytes from the differentiation of adult and embryonic stem cells represents a promising opportunity. The aim of this chapter is to describe our experience with the isolation from adult human liver and culture of non-parenchymal epithelial cells. Under appropriate conditions, these cells differentiate in vitro in hepatocyte-like cells and therefore appear to behave as liver progenitor cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to identify human liver proteins that are associated with different stages of liver development. METHODS We collected liver samples from 14 fetuses between 14 and 41 weeks of development, one child and four adults. Proteins which exhibited consistent and significant variations during development by two-dimensional differential in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) were subjected to peptide mass fingerprint analysis by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Real-time PCR analysis confirmed, at the transcriptional level, the data obtained by the proteomic approach. RESULTS Among a total of 80 protein spots showing differential expression, we identified 42 different proteins or polypeptide chains, of which 26 were upregulated and 16 downregulated in developing in comparison to adult liver. These proteins could be classified in specific groups according to their function. By comparing their temporal expression profiles, we identified protein groups that were associated with different developmental stages of human fetal liver and suggest that the changes in protein expression observed during the 20- to 36-week time window play a pivotal role in liver development. CONCLUSIONS The identification of these proteins may represent good markers of human liver and stem cells differentiation.

Abstract
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) initially isolated as a nuclear receptor regulating xenobiotic and drug metabolism and elimination, seems to play an endobiotic role by affecting lipid homeostasis. In mice, PXR affects lipid homeostasis and increases hepatic deposit of triglycerides. In this study, we show that, in human hepatocyte, PXR activation induces an increase of de novo lipogenesis through the up-regulation of S14. S14 was first identified as a thyroid-responsive gene and is known to transduce hormone-related and nutrient-related signals to genes involved in lipogenesis through a molecular mechanism not yet elucidated. We demonstrate that S14 is a novel transcriptional target of PXR. In addition, we report an increase of fatty acid synthase (FASN) and adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase genes expression after PXR activation in human hepatocyte, leading to an increase of fatty acids accumulation and de novo lipogenesis. RNA interference of the expression of S14 proportionally decreases the FASN induction, whereas S14 overexpression in human hepatic cells provokes an increase of fatty acids accumulation and lipogenesis. These results demonstrate for the first time that xenobiotic or drug-activated PXR promote aberrant hepatic de novo lipogenesis via activation of the nonclassical S14 pathway. In addition, these data suggest that the up-regulation of S14 by PXR may promote aberrant hepatic lipogenesis and hepatic steatosis in human hepatocytes.

Abstract
In mammals, males and females exhibit anatomical, hormonal, and metabolic differences. A major example of such sex dimorphism in mouse involves hepatic drug metabolism, which is also a noticeable target of circadian timekeeping. However, whether the circadian clock itself contributes to sex-biased metabolism has remained unknown, although several daily output parameters differ between sexes in a number of species, including humans. Here we show that dimorphic liver metabolism is altered when the circadian regulators Cryptochromes, Cry1 and Cry2, are inactivated. Indeed, double mutant Cry1(-/-) Cry2(-/-) male mice that lack a functional circadian clock express a number of sex-specific liver products, including several cytochrome P450 enzymes, at levels close to those measured in females. In addition, body growth of Cry-deficient mice is impaired, also in a sex-biased manner, and this phenotype goes along with an altered pattern of circulating growth hormone (GH) in mutant males, specifically. It is noteworthy that hormonal injections able to mimic male GH pulses reversed the feminized gene expression profile in the liver of Cry1(-/-) Cry2(-/-) males. Altogether, our observations suggest that the 24-h clock paces the dimorphic ultradian pulsatility of GH that is responsible for sex-dependent liver activity. We thus conclude that circadian timing, sex dimorphism, and liver metabolism are finely interconnected.

Abstract
CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes encode members of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes primarily involved in xenobiotic and drug metabolism. In this paper we examined the effects of synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) on aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-mediated regulation of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes and their enzymatic activity in primary cultures of human hepatocytes obtained from 17 donors and prepared in 3 countries. Dexamethasone significantly reduced both basal and inducible CYP1A1/2 ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activities by more than 75 and 50%, respectively. Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist RU486 abolished this effect suggesting the involvement of GR in the process. In contrast, dexamethasone significantly augmented transcriptional activation of CYP1A2 mRNA but not CYP1A1 gene by prototype AhR ligands 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC). Dexamethasone had no effect on basal and TCDD-inducible levels of CYP1As proteins; however, it reduced the levels of AhR and GRalpha mRNAs and AhR protein levels. In addition, using RT(2) Profiler PCR Array, we found the effect of dexamethasone on the expression of several co-activators of AhR and GR nuclear receptors in the primary human hepatocytes. We conclude that dexamethasone controls CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 expression and activity in human hepatocytes via multiple mechanisms, which remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
1. Recent investigations on nuclear receptors and other transcription factors involved in the regulation of genes encoding xenobiotic metabolizing and transport systems reveal that xenobiotic-dependent signalling pathways are embedded in, and establish functional interactions with, a tangle of regulatory networks involving the glucocorticoid and oestrogen receptors, the hypoxia-inducible factor, the vitamin D receptor and other transcription factors/nuclear receptors controlling cholesterol/bile salt homeostasis and liver differentiation. 2. Such functional interferences provide new insight, first for understanding how xenobiotics might exert adverse effects, and second how physiopathological stimuli affect xenobiotic metabolism.

Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) were extensively studied in cancer-derived cell lines; however, studies in non-transformed human cells are scarce. In the current paper, we studied the effect of SB203580, a pharmacological inhibitor of p38 MAPK, on activation and inhibition of p38 MAPK transduction partway in primary human hepatocytes (in vitro model of differentiated cells) in comparison with several tumor cell lines (proliferating non-differentiated in vitro model). In addition, we analyzed the effect of SB203580 on extracellular-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and c-jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways both in primary human hepatocytes and tumor cell lines employing primary antibodies detecting phosphorylated kinases. We show that SB203580 activates ERK and JNK in primary cultures of human hepatocytes. The levels of ERK-P(Thr202/Tyr204), JNK-P(Thr183/Tyr185) and c-Jun-P(Ser63/73), a target down-stream protein of JNK, were increased by SB203580. In contrast, SB203580 activated ERK but not JNK in HepG2, HL-60, Saos-2 and HaCaT human cancer cell lines. We tested, whether the effects of SB203580 are due to metabolism. Using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, we found one minor metabolite in human liver microsomes but not in HepG2 cells. These data imply that biotransformation could be responsible for the effects of SB203580 in human hepatocytes. This study is the first report on the effects of MAPK activators (sorbitol, anisomycin, EGF) and MAPK inhibitors in primary human hepatocytes. We observed differential effects of these compounds in primary human hepatocytes and in cancer cells, implying the cell-type specificity and the essential differences between the role and function of MAPKs in normal and cancer cells.

Abstract
The expression of many genes involved in xenobiotic/drug metabolism and transport is regulated by at least three nuclear receptors or xenosensors: aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), and pregnane X receptor (PXR). These receptors establish crosstalk with other nuclear receptors or transcription factors controlling signaling pathways that regulate the homeostasis of bile acids, lipids, glucose, inflammation, vitamins, hormones, and others. These crosstalks are expected to modify profoundly our vision of xenobiotic/drug disposition and toxicity. They provide molecular mechanisms to explain how physiopathological stimuli affect xenobiotic/drug disposition, and how xenobiotics/drugs may affect physiological functions and generate toxic responses. In addition, the possibility that xenosensors may control other signaling pathways opens the way to new pharmacological opportunities.

Abstract
Xenobiotic and drug metabolism and transport are managed by a large number of genes coordinately regulated by at least three nuclear receptors or xenosensors: aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR, NR1I3), and pregnane X receptor (PXR, NR1I2). Initially characterized as xenosensors, it is now evident that CAR and PXR also trigger pleiotropic effects on liver function. Recent studies have shown the existence of crosstalk between xenosensors and other nuclear receptors or transcription factors controlling endogenous signaling pathways which regulate physiological functions. This review is focused on recent observations showing that activation of CAR and PXR alters lipid metabolism, glucose homeostasis, and inflammation by interfering with HNF4alpha, FoxO1, FoxA2, PGC1alpha, or NFkB p65. Such crosstalks explain clinical observations and provide molecular mechanisms allowing understanding how xenobiotics and drugs may affect physiological functions and provoke endocrine disruptions.

Abstract
Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) has demonstrated antioxidant activity and gene-regulatory properties. d-Galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced cell death is mediated by nitric oxide in hepatocytes, and it is associated with hepatic steatosis. The beneficial properties of alpha-tocopherol and their relation to oxidative stress and gene regulation were assessed in D-GalN-induced cell death. Hepatocytes were isolated from human liver resections by a collagenase perfusion technique. alpha-Tocopherol (50 microM) was administered at the advanced stages (10 h) of D-GalN-induced cell death in cultured hepatocytes. Cell death, oxidative stress, alpha-tocopherol metabolism, and NF-kappaB-, pregnane X receptor (PXR)-, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-alpha)-associated gene regulation were estimated in the hepatocytes. D-GalN increased cell death and alpha-tocopherol metabolism. alpha-Tocopherol exerted a moderate beneficial effect against apoptosis and necrosis induced by D-GalN. Induction (rifampicin) or inhibition (ketoconazole) of alpha-tocopherol metabolism and overexpression of PXR showed that the increase in PXR-related CYP3A4 expression caused by alpha-tocopherol enhanced cell death in hepatocytes. Nevertheless, the reduction in NF-kappaB activation and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and the enhancement of PPAR-alpha and carnitine palmitoyl transferase gene expression by alpha-tocopherol may be relevant for cell survival. In conclusion, the cytoprotective properties of alpha-tocopherol are mostly related to gene regulation rather than to antioxidant activity in toxin-induced cell death in hepatocytes.

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) metabolizes various clinically relevant compounds, including nicotine- and tobacco-specific procarcinogens; however, transcriptional regulation of this gene is poorly understood. We investigated the role of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in transcriptional regulation of CYP2A6. Dexamethasone (DEX) increased CYP2A6 mRNA and protein levels in human hepatocytes in primary culture. This effect was attenuated by the GR receptor antagonist mifepristone (RU486; 17beta-hydroxy-11beta-[4-dimethylamino phenyl]-17alpha-[1-propynyl]estra-4,9-dien-3-one), suggesting that induction of CYP2A6 by DEX was mediated by the GR. In gene reporter assays, DEX caused dose-dependent increases in luciferase activity that was also prevented by RU486 and progressive truncations of the CYP2A6 promoter delineated DEX-responsiveness to a -95 to +12 region containing an hepatic nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) alpha response element (HNF4-RE). Mutation of the HNF4-RE abrogated HNF4alpha- and DEX-mediated transactivation of CYP2A6. In addition, overexpression of HNF4alpha increased CYP2A6 transcriptional activity by 3-fold. DEX increased HNF4alpha mRNA levels by 4-fold; however, the amount of HNF4alpha nuclear protein was unaltered. Electrophoretic mobility shift, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), and streptavidin DNA binding assays revealed that DEX increased binding of HNF4alpha to the HNF4-RE and that an interaction of GR and HNF4alpha occurred at this site. Moreover, ChIP assays indicated that histone H4 acetylation of the CYP2A6 proximal promoter chromatin was increased by DEX that may allow for increased binding of HNF4alpha to the HNF4-RE in human hepatocytes. These findings indicate that increased expression of CYP2A6 by DEX is mediated by the GR via a nonconventional transcriptional mechanism involving interaction of HNF4alpha with an HNF4-RE rather than a glucocorticoid response element.

Abstract
A myristate linked to the N-terminus of the large hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope protein was found to be required for infectivity of the hepatitis delta virus (HDV). Myristoylation of the large HBV envelope protein being known as indispensable for HBV infectivity, this result further demonstrates the similarities between the HBV and HDV entry pathways. In addition, the transfer of the N-myristoylation signal from the large to the middle or the small HBV envelope protein led in both cases to a loss of HDV infectivity. Hence, it is suggested that viral entry could depend on a physical link, or a spatial association, between the N-terminal receptor-binding polypeptide of the large protein and the myristoyl anchor linked to glycine-2.

Abstract
We previously reported that the pregnane X receptor (PXR) interferes with vitamin D receptor (VDR) target genes, notably CYP24, by targeting the same responsive elements. Since PXR and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) share responsive elements in the promoter of their target genes, we wondered whether CAR also interferes with CYP24 expression. The current study shows that: (i) CAR-RXR heterodimer binds to and transactivates the proximal promoter of CYP24 (-1200/+22) and both VDRE-1 and VDRE-2 which control its expression in response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3), (ii) androstanol an inverse agonist of hCAR inhibits transactivation of VDREs by hCAR, (iii) mutations of either VDRE-1 or -2 half sites inhibit hCAR-mediated transactivation, and (iv) in primary human hepatocytes (n =11) CITCO, a specific hCAR agonist, is an inducer of CYP24 as well as of CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 mRNAs. In conclusion, CAR/PXR and VDR bind to and transactivate the same response elements in CYP24 promoter.
