Biliary copper excretion by hepatocyte lysosomes in the rat. Major excretory pathway in experimental copper overload.

Abstract: We investigated the hypothesis that lysosomes are the main source of biliary copper in conditions of hepatic copper overload. We used a rat model of oral copper loading and studied the relationship between the biliary output of copper and lysosomal hydrolases. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given tap water with or without 0.125% copper acetate for up to 36 wk.

“…Lysosomes play a pivotal role in intracellular digestion and storage of various macromolecules (LaRusso 1989; Yamazaki and LaRusso 1989) and, in he- LaRusso 1989) and the alterations of this pathway have been extensively studied in experimental copper overload (Gross et al 1989;Harada et al 1993). In contrast, the studies on lysosomal exocytosis into bile during spontaneous copper accumulation have been limited mainly due to the rarity of the disease, the difficulty in obtaining bile samples from patients, and the limited access to animal model.…”
