Fructose-bisphosphatase has been isolated from sheep liver using affinity-elution chromatography from carboxymethykellulose as the final purification step. The purified enzyme was homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis.

The gold standard for the identification of sinusoidal endothelial cells (SEC) is the presence of fenestrae organized in sieve plates, which is characteristic of SEC in vivo. One of the methods currently in use to isolate SEC is immunomagnetic sorting for CD31. However, there is evidence to suggest that CD31 is not present on the surface of differentiated SEC. The present study used scanning electron microscopy to image rat hepatic endothelial cells isolated by anti-CD31 and immunomagnetic sorting and cells isolated by gradient centrifugation and centrifugal elutriation. Cells isolated by elutriation had well-developed fenestrae and sieve plates, whereas cells isolated by anti-CD31 and immunomagnetic sorting had significantly fewer fenestrae organized in sieve plates. In conclusion, cells isolated by anti-CD31 and immunomagnetic sorting lacked the hallmark features of SEC.

Activation of endothelin (ET) receptors in the liver causes vasoconstriction, glucose production, and lipid and peptide mediator synthesis. In the intact rat, a bolus infusion of endotoxin into a mesenteric vein served as an acute exposure model of endotoxemia. In response to this challenge, a ninefold increase in hepatic ET-1 mRNA occurred within 3 h. The plasma level of immunoreactive ET-1 (irET-1) increased correspondingly by 8.5-fold within 6 h. ET-1 mRNA levels in liver endothelial cells (EC) isolated from livers of endotoxin-treated rats at various times after endotoxin challenge showed a more gradual increase. Northern blot analyses of the major liver cell types demonstrated that ET-1 mRNA was most abundant in the EC. The present results document a significant increase in the circulating level of irET-1 during episodes of endotoxemia. The increased hepatic ET-1 production in response to endotoxin infusion suggests that ET-1 produced in the liver could make a significant contribution to the plasma irET-1 and may be an important component in the hepatic responses to systemic trauma.
