PHH/HSC sheet analysis. (A) PHH/HSC sheet fabrication. PHHs and HSCs were co-cultured on 35 mm or 24-well UpCell culture plates at 37 °C for 4 days. After, the UpCell plates were incubated at 20 °C for 30 min following which the PHH/HSC sheets were detached from the surface, contracted, and became 3D. Scale bar, 10 mm. (B) PHH/HSC sheet on day 11 fabricated on 35 mm UpCell dishes, viewed from the top. Scale bar, 10 mm. (C) Area of the PHH/HSC sheet fabricated on 24-well UpCell dishes. The area of sheets in the lipotoxicity and glucolipotoxicity groups was smaller than that in control and glucotoxicity groups, n = 9, 3 independent experiments, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. PHH: Primary human hepatocyte. (D) PHH/HSC sheet on day 11 fabricated on 24-well UpCell dishes, viewed from the side (OCT). Scale bar, 200 μm. (E) Thickness of the PHH/HSC sheet fabricated on 24-well UpCell dishes. The thickness was highest in the glucolipotoxicity group, n = 9, 3 independent experiments, **p < 0.01.
