The hepatic uptake of polymeric immunoglobulin A (IgA) is mediated by secretory component; the resulting secretory IgA is excreted intact into bile. To define the hepatic metabolism of polymeric IgA, we quantitated the uptake and transport of human polymeric IgA1 after a single pass through the perfused rat liver. Uptake of polymeric IgA1 was compared with that of asialoorosomucoid, a glycoprotein whose uptake is mediated by the asialoglycoprotein receptor. Single-pass hepatic uptake of 125I-polymeric IgA1 and of 125I-asialoorosomucoid averaged 18.0 +/- 3.1% (SE) and 71.8 +/- 2.8%, respectively. The uptake of 125I-polymeric IgA1 was inhibited by excess unlabeled polymeric IgA1 but not by asialoorosomucoid. Only 13.0 +/- 1.6% of the 125I-polymeric IgA1 extracted by the liver was excreted into bile, whereas three-fourths was released into the hepatic venous effluent in degraded form. Thus, both the uptake and biliary excretion of polymeric IgA1 by the rat liver are inefficient processes. Polymeric IgA1 follows two distinct pathways after uptake by the liver: a small proportion is excreted intact into bile, while the majority is degraded and released back into the circulation.

SummaryThe influence of changes in liver blood flow on the clearance of rt-PA was studied both in healthy subjects and in a perfused rat liver model. Liver blood flow in healthy subjects was documented indirectly by the clearance of indocyanine green (ICG). Exercise reduced liver blood flow on average by 57% with a 95% confidence interval (95% Cl) ranging from 51% to 62% (n = 5) and increased plasma levels of rt-PA activity (after an i. v. infusion of 18 mg of rt-PA over 120 min) by 119% (95% Cl, 58% - 203%) and rt-PA antigen by 91% (95% Cl, 30% - 140%). In the perfused rat liver model it was shown that halving or doubling of the physiological flow rate of a perfusate, containing rt-PA caused a proportional change in the clearance of rt-PA, while the extraction of rt-PA by the liver remained similar. In conclusion, liver blood flow is a major determinant of the clearance of rt-PA. This may have important implications for dosage of rt-PA in patients with myocardial infarction.

SummaryOf the two cell types it was possible to culture from the dissociated rat liver, hepatocytes and Kupffer cells, only the former were fibrinolytically active. Rat hepatocytes during the first 24 hr in culture secreted two plasminogen activators with molecular weights identical to those found in rat plasma, an 80,000-dalton form (PA-80) and a 45,000-dalton form (PA-45). Partially purified preparations of plasminogen activators from both sources were subjected to isoelectric focusing (IEF) to compare characteristics further. There were three distinct peaks of PA-45 in each preparation with isoelectric points of 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4; all electrophoretic forms had the same low affinity to fibrin. PA-80 from both sources displayed similar IEF profiles with forms ranging from pH values of 7 to 8, all with the same high affinity to fibrin. The major form of PA-80 in the plasma preparation had an isoelectric point of 7.9 whereas that in the hepatocyte preparation had an isoelectric point of 7.6. The isolated perfused rat liver was also shown to produce both PA-80 and PA-45 emphasizing the physiological relevance of the findings with hepatocytes. It is concluded that in the rat hepatocytes contribute to the plasma profile with regard to the plasminogen activator content.
