The hepatotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride (CC14) was evaluated in vitro in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes and in the human hepatoma cell line, Hep G2. Toxicity was assessed by the leakage of cytosolic enzymes (lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase) and cell viability (trypan blue exclusion). The established human cells were less sensitive to CCl4-induced injury; higher doses of the toxic agent and longer incubation times were necessary to elicit cell damage. Micromolar concentrations of prostaglandin E2 significantly decreased enzyme leakage in both Hep G2 cells and rat hepatocytes challenged with CC14; a stable derivative of prostacyclin (ZK 36374) was ineffective. These results suggest that human hepatoma Hep G2 cells may represent a valid alternative to isolated rat hepatocytes for an initial approach to the in vitro evaluation of cell toxicity.

Objectives: The present study was aimed to investigate the in vitro activity of Murraya koenigii extracts through various carbohydrate metabolic pathways in the isolated rat hepatocyte models.Methods: Different doses of metformin, aqueous and methanol extracts of M. koenigii leaves were evaluated in the MTT, glucose, and glycogen content assays in the cultured in vitro rat hepatocytes.Results: The study showed that there was a significant increase in activity with respect to the increased concentration of extracts. Slight effect was observed in the isolated rat hepatocytes culture, M. koenigii leaves extract may exert cytoprotective and hypoglycemic action.Conclusion: It may be needed to determine the effect of ex vivo rat hepatocytes isolated from diabetic rats. Effects of the plant or isolated compounds on the genes expression of signaling pathways should be investigated in further studies.
