Induction of Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes by Phenobarbital in Layered Co-culture of a Human Liver Cell Line and Endothelial Cells
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Primary human hepatocytes are extensively used to study the potential of drugs to induce cytochrome P450 (CYP). However, the activities of these enzymes decrease rapidly during culture. Previously we reported that in a layered co-culture system with HepG2 and bovine endothelial cells, the expression levels of various CYP genes were significantly increased compared with the monolayer cultured HepG2 cells. Here, we...
