Popis: Sulfobromophthalein (BSP) is selectively taken up by the liver and secreted into the bile as unconjugated and conjugated forms. Our previous study demonstrated that unconjugated BSP, but not conjugated BSP, caused the dissociation of biliary lipid secretion from that of bile acids, suggesting that the hepatic BSP conjugation rate partly regulated biliary lipid secretion. To evaluate the mechanisms through which biliary lipid secretion is regulated by exogenous organic anions, we intravenously administered BSP to male Sprague-Dawley rats at various doses either continuously or as a bolus. Then the relationship of the dose of BSP to its conjugation rate, hepatic transit time, and biliary lipid secretion was determined. BSP decreased biliary secretion of cholesterol and phospholipids in a dose-dependent manner without affecting bile acid secretion. In contrast, the proportion of conjugated BSP in bile was associated with the dose. Although the serum clearance of BSP after bolus infusion was constant regardless of the dose administered (50 or 200 nmol/100 g), BSP secretion was delayed with increasing doses: unconjugated BSP was secreted predominantly in the early phase (0-15 min after bolus injection), and conjugated BSP was the predominant form in the late phase (15-30 min). Pretreatment with colchicine reduced the conjugation rate and hepatic transit time of BSP, suggesting that the microtubule-dependent vesicle pathway plays a role in biliary excretion and conjugation of BSP. We conclude that biliary lipid secretion is influenced by organic anions with an affinity for bile acids such as BSP and that this effect is dependent upon the hepatic metabolic rate, i.e., conjugation rate. The hepatic transit time also plays a key role in this process by influencing metabolism.
