Abstract:
Video file for manuscript "A 3D fish liver model for aquatic toxicology: Morphological changes and Cyp1a induction in PLHC-1 microtissues after repeated benzo(a)pyrene exposuresPMID: 28282620 and PMCID: PMC5436724. Version of Record is Published in Edited Form as: Aquatix Toxicology. 2017 May;186:134-144. doi:10.1016/j.aquatox.2017.02.018. This study characterizes a novel fish liver microtissue model, produced with the cell line PLHC-1, as an in vitro aquatic toxicity testing platform. These 3D microtissues remain viable and stable throughout the 8-day testing period and relative to 2D monolayers, show increased basal expression of the xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 1A (Cyp1a). Imaged with 1μm z-slices. Nuclei stained with Hoechst 33342. Nuclear staining of whole microtissues demonstrates that the dense packing of cells observed in sections is representative of the entire 3D spheroid.
