[Effect of a lysosome triton WR 1339 load on distribution of C14-albumin in the livers of rats with chronic hepatitis]. 1976

T A Korolenko, and V G Titova

A possible mechanism of the protective effect of Triton WR1339 during chronic CC14-hepatitis was considered. Supposing that the improvement of the process was due to the intensification of the lysosome heterophage function the authors studied the intensity of the C14-albumin uptake by the liver and its subcellular distribution in the liver of rats in the administration of the detergent to the animals with chronic CCI4-hepatitis, Preliminary administration of the detergent failed to influence the intensity of C14-albumin uptake; subsequent administration of triton WR1339 to rats with toxic hepatitis decrease the protein uptake which reached the values in intact rats. In chronic hepatitis C14-albumin was concentrated in the lysosome fraction. Administration of trition WR1339 to CCI4-treated animals was not accompanied by any coincidence in the peaks of labeled protein and lysosome enzymes. The selective participation of lysosomes of the Kupffer cells providing a more rapid restoration of the liver in chronic hepatitis is discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007728	Kupffer Cells	Specialized phagocytic cells of the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM found on the luminal surface of the hepatic sinusoids. They filter bacteria and small foreign proteins out of the blood and dispose of worn out red blood cells.	Kupffer Cell,Cell, Kupffer,Cells, Kupffer
D008099	Liver	A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances.	Livers
D008247	Lysosomes	A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.

D011092	Polyethylene Glycols	Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.

D002908	Chronic Disease	Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
