Hepatic uptake and bilialy excretion of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled polystyrene microspheres with a particle size of 50 nm (MS-50) were studied in rats. Liver perfusion studies revealed that not only apo-E-mediated but also asialoglycoprotein receptor-mediated uptake is involved in the mechanism of the serum protein-dependent uptake of MS-50 in the liver. The uptake of MS-50 mediated by apo-E contributes more to the total uptake of MS-50 by the hepatocytes than that via asialoglycoprotein receptor in the presence of serum in the perfusate. Furthermore, it was found that MS-50 is substantially excreted into the bile by transcytosis. The extent of exocytosis of MS-50 taken up by the hepatocytes was much higher after MS-50 was endocytosed via asialoglycoprotein receptor than after taken up via the process mediated by apo-E. On the basis of these results, a possible regulation of the intracellular sorting of ligands, depending on the receptor-mediated uptake mechanism, was inferred. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
