HUREL® Human™

Co-culture comprised of cryopreserved primary human hepatocytes cultured with cells of non-parenchymal, stromal type.

HUREL® Human™

Substrate Enzyme Concentration (µM) Day 1 Day 4 Day 8
Midazolam CYP3A4 5 0.18 0.25 0.13
Dextromethorphan CYP2D6 20 0.50 0.25 0.21
Tolbutamide CYP2C9 20 0.17 0.14 0.08

Cryopreserved primary human hepatocytes were thawed and plated with HUREL PlatinumHeps™ Media supplemented with 10% serum and subsequently changed 24 hours post-seeding to HUREL PlatinumHeps™ Basal Media. CYP substrate concentrations are given in the table above along with metabolite formation recorded as nmoles/hr/106 cells. All incubations were carried out in triplicate on days 1, 4, and 8 upon cell delivery and incubated for 60 minutes. Reactions took place in a humidified incubator at 37°C, in 5% CO2. Col­lected supernatants were stored at -20°C until further LC/MS/MS analysis.

Day 1 – Morphology

Phase contrast image in a 24-well at a 10X magnification

Day 7 – Morphology

Phase contrast image in a 24-well at a 10X magnification.

Day 7 – Bile Canaliculi

Bile canaliculi assayed via 5-(and-6)-carboxy-2′, 7′ – dichlorofluorescein diacetate (C-DCFDA) stain at a concentration of 5 microns and imaged in the GFP channel in a 96-well at 10X magnifcation with filters EX/EM 492-495/512-527 nm.
