Drug toxicity analysis of 3D liver sinusoid-on-a-chip with perfusion (LSOC-P), 3D liver sinusoid model in static media (LSOC-S) and 2D sandwich culture (SW). The graphical plot represents drug-concentration-based cellular viability. Both culture platforms were treated with (A) diclofenac (from 1 ​μM to 800 ​μM) and (B) acetaminophen (from 0.1 ​mM to 80 ​mM). (∗p ​< ​0.05). Cell viability analysis at different drug concentrations of (C) diclofenac and (D) acetaminophen after calcein-AM/ethidium homodimer-based live (green)/dead (red) staining. The expression levels of liver-specific proteins (E) albumin, (F) urea, and (G) bile acid were calorimetrically determined in all three platforms. The expression levels of liver-specific enzymes (H) aspartate aminotransferase (AST), (I) alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and (J) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) after treating the three platforms with diclofenac (200 ​μM) and acetaminophen (20 ​mM) are shown. (ND: No Drugs; DF: Diclofenac; AAP: Acetaminophen, ∗p ​< ​0.05).
