title: Comparative impact of cephaloridine on glutathione and related enzymes in LLC-PK1, LLC-RK1, and primary cultures of rat and rabbit proximal tubule cells.
abstract: Among kidney tubular epithelial cell types, proximal tubule cells are one of the major renal targets for xenobiotics. Several in vitro culture models have been proposed for use of proximal tubule cells for in vitro pharmacotoxicology studies. This paper reports a comparative study of the response to cephaloridine exposure of two established cell lines from pig (LLC-PK1) and rabbit (LLC-RK1) kidneys and primary cultures of rat and rabbit proximal tubule cells. These cultured cells were first compared for their levels of activity of alpha-methylglucopyranoside transport, alkaline phosphatase, succinate dehydrogenase, and NADPH cytochrome c reductase, their glutathione-dependent activity levels, and their adenylate cyclase response pattern to stimulation by PTH and AVP. The results presented show major phenotypic differences between these four cellular models. The differences observed in glutathione-dependent mechanism activities and regulation may in part be responsible for the variability of the responses of these four cellular models when exposed to cephaloridine.
