Müller cells (MCs), the major type of glial cell of the vertebrate retina, have a vital role in retinal physiology and pathology. They provide structural and functional support for retinal neurons, including photoreceptors, and are implicated in various retinal diseases. Primary and immortalized MCs are important experimental tools for MC research. Here we present high throughput RNA sequencing data of 3 populations of cultured rat MCs: primary cells, the spontaneously immortalized rat MC line, SIRMu-1, and the SV40-transformed rat MC line, rMC-1. These data were deposited in NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO ID: GSE123161). For data analysis, interpretation and discussion, please refer to the research article, "Characterization of the novel spontaneously immortalized rat Müller cell line SIRMu-1" (Kittipassorn et al., 2019). This dataset is valuable for gaining insight into gene expression profiles of different types of cultured MCs and the roles of MCs in health and disease.

Metabolism in Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure: The Solution More than the Problem.
Arch Med Res

Chronic inflammatory liver disease with an acute deterioration of liver function is named acute-on-chronic inflammation and could be regulated by the metabolic impairments related to the liver dysfunction. In this way, the experimental cholestasis model is excellent for studying metabolism in both types of inflammatory responses. Along the evolution of this model, the rats develop biliary fibrosis and an acute-on-chronic decompensation.

Introduction: Splanchnic mast cells increase in chronic liver and in acute-on-chronic liver diseases. We administered Ketotifen, a mast cell stabilizer, and measured the mast cells in the splanchnic organs of cholestatic rats.
Material And Methods: These groups were studied: sham-operated rats (S; n = 15), untreated microsurgical cholestasic rats (C; n = 20) and rats treated with Ketotifen: early (SK-e; n = 20 and CKe; n = 18), and late (SK-l; n = 15 and CK-l; n = 14).

Mast cells are involved in various liver diseases and appear to play a broader pathogenic role than originally thought. They may participate in the splanchnic alterations related to a porto-systemic shunt. To verify this hypothesis we studied the serum and hepatic histological changes in rats four weeks after an end-to-side portacaval shunt.

The use of an operating microscope in rat liver surgery makes it possible to obtain new experimental models and improve the already existing macrosurgical models. Thus, microsurgery could be a very valuable technique to improve experimental models of hepatic insufficiency. In the current review, we present the microsurgical techniques most frequently used in the rat, such as the portacaval shunt, the extrahepatic biliary tract resection, partial and total hepatectomies and heterotopic and orthotopic liver transplantation.

Hepatectomies in the rat can be improved using microsurgical techniques. The distribution variations of the vascular and biliar lobular branches of the liver are observed under magnification with an operative microscope and, therefore their dissection, ligation and section are more accurate. The vascularization and bile drainage of the caudate process, a liver sector located between the right lateral and the caudate lobes, can be identified using microsurgery.
