TLDR
A review of available human hepatic cell types for in vitro toxicology analysis and their usage in established and emerging three-dimensional (3D) culture systems can be found in this paper.Abstract:
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the major reason for failures in drug development and withdrawal of approved drugs from the market. Two-dimensional cultures of hepatocytes often fail to reliably predict DILI: hepatoma cell lines such as HepG2 do not reflect important primary-like hepatic properties and primary human hepatocytes (pHHs) dedifferentiate quickly in vitro and are, therefore, not suitable for long-term toxicity studies. More predictive liver in vitro models are urgently required in drug development and compound safety evaluation. This review discusses available human hepatic cell types for in vitro toxicology analysis and their usage in established and emerging three-dimensional (3D) culture systems. Generally, 3D cultures maintain or improve primary hepatic functions (including expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes) of different liver cells for several weeks of culture, thus allowing long-term and repeated-dose toxicity studies. Spheroid cultures of pHHs have been comprehensively tested, but also other cell types such as HepaRG benefit from 3D culture systems. Emerging 3D culture techniques include usage of induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived hepatocytes and primary-like upcyte cells, as well as advanced culture techniques such as microfluidic liver-on-a-chip models. In-depth characterization of existing and emerging 3D hepatocyte technologies is indispensable for successful implementation of such systems in toxicological analysis.read more

TL;DR: Investigations of recently established CYP-overexpressing hepatoblastoma cell lines (HepG2) revealed time-dependent degradation of the intact radiotracers, as well as CYP isoform- and substrate-specific differences in their metabolic profiles, and HepG2 CYP2C19 proved to be the cell line showing the highest metabolic turnover for each Radiotracer studied here.

Controlled synthesis of HBsAg in a differentiated human liver carcinoma-derived cell line
TL;DR: This work reports the derivation and characterisation of two additional cell lines from primary liver carcinomas which retain the capacity to synthesise many human plasma proteins, including both albumin and α-fetoprotein (AFP), and presents evidence that HBsAg synthesis and secretion in this cell line are correlated with the growth state of the culture.
