| Abstract | Hepatocytes are an important research tool used for numerous applications. However, a short life span and a limited capacity to replicate in vitro limit the usefulness of primary hepatocyte cultures. We have hypothesized that in vivo priming of hepatocyte could make them more susceptible to growth factors in the medium for continuous proliferation in vitro. Here, a novel approach used to establish hepatocyte cell lines that included hepatocyte priming in vivo prior to culture with a 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine diet was attempted. The cell line grew in a monolayer while maintaining a granular cytoplasm and a round nucleus. Electron microscopy displayed hepatocyte-like features including mitochondria, glycogen granules, and the presence of bile canaliculi. This cell line expressed many mature hepatocyte-specific genes including albumin, alpha1-antitrypsin, glucose 6-phosphatase, and tyrosine aminotransferase. Functional characteristic of hepatocytes like the ability to store glycogen, lipid, and synthesis of urea is well demonstrated by this cell line. These cells demonstrated anchorage dependent growth properties in soft agar and did not form tumors after transplantation into nude mice. This cell line can be sustained in culture for more than 100 passages (>1.5 years) without undergoing noticeable morphological changes or transformation. This novel method resulted in the establishment of an immortal, non-transformed hepatocyte cell line with functional characteristics that may aid research of cell metabolism, toxicology, and hepatocyte transplantation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
