Background & Aims: Hepatocyte-like cells have been observed in the pancreas of the rat. We examined the bile acid biosynthetic function of these cells to determine whether they are real hepatocytes. This study investigated the gene expression of two liver-specific enzymes regulating bile acid biosynthesis (cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase and ΔィイD14ィエD1-3-ketosteroid 5β-reductase) in the hepatocyte-like cells.Methods : Hepatocyte-like cells were induced in the rat pancreas by a copper depletion-repletion regimen. The expression of messenger RNA for cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase and ΔィイD14ィエD1-3-ketosteroid 5β-reductase was detected using the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The initial amount of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase messenger RNA was quantified using the competitive polymerase chain reaction method.Results: Messenger RNA was expressed in the pancreatic hepatocyte-like cells for cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase and ΔィイD14ィエD1 -3-ketosteroid 5β-reductase. A circadian rhythm of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase messenger RNA expression was identified.Conclusions: This study confirms that the hepatocyte-like cells produce bile acids.

背景与目的：大鼠胰腺中存在肝细胞样细胞。我们检测了这些细胞的胆汁酸生物合成功能，以确定它们是否是真实的肝细胞。本研究旨在探讨肝细胞样细胞中两种肝脏特异性调节胆汁酸生物合成的酶（胆固醇7α-羟化酶和Δ β-胆固醇D14 β-D1-3-酮甾体5β-还原酶）的基因表达。逆转录聚合酶链反应检测胆固醇7α-羟化酶和Δ β-D 14 β-D 1 -3-酮甾5β-还原酶mRNA的表达。结果：胆固醇7 α-羟化酶和Δ β-D 14 β-D 1 - 3-酮甾5β-还原酶在胰腺肝细胞样细胞中表达。胆固醇7α-羟化酶信使RNA的表达存在昼夜节律。结论：本研究证实了肝细胞样细胞产生胆汁酸。
