General description
HepaRG is a human hepatoma cell line originally derived from a female patient diagnosed with hepatocarcinoma and hepatitis C. The cells possess a pseudodiploid karyotype and have been characterized as an oval ductular bipotent hepatic cell line that has the ability to differentiate into both biliary and hepatocyte lineages in the presence of DMSO. HepaRG cells are useful as an alternative to human primary cells as they retain the major functional activities of these cells. HepaRG cells express functional levels of the major xenobiotic sensors (PXR, CAR and AhR), drug transporters, phase I and II drug metabolizing enzymes as well as key hepatic transcription factors involved in stress response pathways. HepaRG cells are fully differentiated and ready to use upon receipt.
Application
See user guide for detailed protocols.
Features and Benefits
HepaRG cells are useful for many in vitro ADME applications, including drug metabolism,reactive metabolite formation, clearance, CYP inhibition and induction assays. They are also suitable for a variety of in vitro toxicity assays, including general hepatotoxicity, cholestasis,and viral infection. HepaRG cells have recently been grown in bioreactors, used for the generation of hepatic spheroids and been implanted into animals to produce humanized livers. The potential range of applications for HepaRG cells continues to expand at a rapid pace.
