Abstract

We previously showed that human hepatocytes (PXB-cells®) freshly isolated from chimeric mice with humanized livers (PXB-mice®) could be maintained expressing major hepatic genes up to 3 weeks.

In this study, we evaluated whether an in vitro model using PXB-cells can be used to predict the risk of drug-induced steatosis. PXB-cells were treated with valproic acid (VPA) in a medium supplemented with fatty acids. VPA induced lipid accumulation in PXB-cells at 3 days after treatment. It was suggested that PXB-cells would be useful in predicting the risk of drug-induced steatosis.
