Proliferation of primary rat hepatocytes after 24-h treatment of retrorsine in cell fibers. (a, b) Representative dark-field images of primary rat hepatocytes cultured in cell fibers (n = 5 for each group) for 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, and 7 days using 3T3CM. Cell fibers encapsulating primary hepatocytes were divided into two groups: (a) in one group the hepatocytes were not treated with retrorsine, (b) while in the other group they were treated with retrorsine for 24-h after 2 days of culture. Scale bars; 100 µm. (c) Time course of total cell number of primary rat hepatocytes cultured in cell fibers using 3T3CM either (c) with or (d) without 24-h retrorsine treatment after 2 days of culture (n = 5 per data point). Error bars denote mean ± SD.
