In trout hepatocytes, hypotonic swelling is followed by a compensatory shrinkage called regulatory volume decrease (RVD). It has been postulated that extracellular ATP and other nucleotides may interact with type 2 receptors (P(2)) to modulate this response. In addition, specific ectoenzymes hydrolyze ATP sequentially down to adenosine, which may bind to type 1 receptors (P(1)) and also influence RVD. Accordingly, in this study, we assessed the role of extracellular nucleoside 5'-tri- and diphosphates and of adenosine on RVD of trout hepatocytes. The extent of RVD after 40 min of maximum swelling was denoted as RVD(40), whereas the initial rate of RVD was called v(RVD). In the presence of hypotonic medium (60% of isotonic), hepatocytes swelled 1.6 times followed by v(RVD) of 1.7 min(-1) and RVD(40) of 60.2%. ATP, UTP, UDP, or ATPgammaS (P(2) agonists; 5 microM) increased v(RVD) 1.5-2 times, whereas no changes were observed in the values of RVD(40). Addition of 100 microM suramin or cibacron blue (P(2) antagonists) to the hypotonic medium produced no effect on v(RVD) but a 53-58% inhibition of RVD(40). Incubation of hepatocytes in the presence of either 5 microM [gamma-(32)P]ATP or [alpha-(32)P]ATP induced the extracellular release of [gamma-(32)P]P(i) (0.21 nmol.10(-6) cells(-1).min(-1)) and [alpha-(32)P]P(i) ( approximately 8 x 10(-3) nmol.10(-6) cells(-1).min(-1)), suggesting the presence of ectoenzymes capable of fully dephosphorylating ATP. Concerning the effect of P(1) activation on RVD, 5 microM adenosine, both in the presence and absence of 100 microM S-(4-nitrobenzil)-6-tioinosine (a blocker of adenosine uptake), decreased RVD(40) by 37-44%, whereas 8-phenyl theophylline, a P(1) antagonist, increased RVD(40) by 15%. Overall, results indicate that ATP, UTP, and UDP, acting via P(2), are important factors promoting RVD of trout hepatocytes, whereas adenosine binding to P(1) inhibits this process.

In vitro models based on permanent fish liver cell lines have proven to be versatile tools for examining chemical biotransformation and toxicity. However, their in vivo relevance remains uncertain due to their potentially de-differentiated phenotype. Here, we investigate whether a 3D cell culture environment can restore hepatocyte-like properties of the Rainbow trout liver cell line RTL-W1.

Article Synopsis
- * A study tested a special protein called rFGF1 on rainbow trout to see if it could help fix these problems caused by the high-fat diet.
- * The results showed that rFGF1 lowered sugar levels and improved liver health without causing extra problems, and it also changed the good bacteria in the fish’s guts, which might help with their health.

6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q) is frequently detected in various environmental media, and the environmentally relevant concentrations can be fatal to . Notably, 6PPD-Q has two enantiomers (-6PPD-Q and -6PPD-Q). In this study, was separately exposed to each enantiomer and racemate of 6PPD-Q for 96 h at environmentally relevant concentrations, and livers were collected.

Three-dimensional (3D) fish hepatocyte cultures are promising alternative models for replicating in vivo data. Few studies have attempted to characterise the structure and function of fish 3D liver models and illustrate their applicability. This study aimed to further characterise a previously established spheroid model obtained from juvenile brown trout () primary hepatocytes under estrogenic stimulation.
