There are two cell lines that are currently in an advanced state of BAL development; HepaRG and HepG2/C3A. In this study we aimed to compare both cell lines on applicability in BALs and to identify possible strategies for further improvement.

Apr 1, 2020 · C3A cells cultured with acute liver failure plasma showed mild inhibition of cell viabilities, reduction of albumin secretion, and increase of ammonia accumulation. Furthermore, CYP450 enzymes demonstrated various alterations on gene transcription, protein expression and enzyme activities.

C3A [HepG2/C3A, derivative of Hep G2 (ATCC HB-8065)] is an epithelial-like cell isolated from the liver of a White, 15-year-old male patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. This cell line was deposited by Baylor College of Medicine and used in cancer, toxicology, and …

C3A cells cultured with acute liver failure plasma showed mild inhibition of cell viabilities, reduction of albumin secretion, and increase of ammonia accumulation. Furthermore, CYP450 enzymes demonstrated various alterations on gene transcription, protein expression and enzyme activities.

We have developed a method for creating C3A liver spheroids and demonstrated cellular polarisation, zonation as well as increased liver-specific functionality and more predictive toxicological response compared to standard 2D liver models.

C3a is a 77 residue anaphylatoxin that binds to the C3a receptor (C3aR), a class A G protein-coupled receptor. It plays a large role in the immune response. C3a molecules induce responses through the GPCR C3a receptor.

Feb 10, 2021 · In this study, we developed an approach for genotoxicity testing with 21-day old spheroids formed from human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2/C3A) using the dynamic clinostat bioreactor system (CelVivo BAM/bioreactor) under controlled conditions.

Jan 1, 2020 · Here we present engineered C3A cells, with a restored function of the urea cycle, which can be used in an efficacious bioartificial liver.

Jun 24, 2016 · There are two cell lines that are currently in an advanced state of BAL development; HepaRG and HepG2/C3A. In this study we aimed to compare both cell lines on applicability in BALs and to identify possible strategies for further improvement.

Feb 15, 2008 · The C3A cell line, a subclone of the hepatoma-derived HepG2 cell line, is currently used in this context as it produces urea, and this has been assumed to be reflective of ammonia detoxification via a functional urea cycle.
