Crude liver membrane fractions and extracellular matrix components as substrata regulate differentially the preservation and inducibility of cytochrome P‐450 isoenzymes in cultured rat hepatocytes

The influence of cell-substrata interactions on the preservation of basal or in-vivo-
induced micro-somal cytochrome P-450 isoenzyme contents in cultured rat hepatocytes and
on the adaptive responses after exposure to phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene in vitro,
was investigated. Hepatocytes from untreated or phenobarbital-treated rats were cultured in
serum-free, aprotinin-supplemented culture medium in 96-well microtiter plates coated with
collagen type I (COL), laminin, fibronectin or crude liver membrane fractions/collagen type ...
