Analysis of hepatocyte plasma membrane domains during rat development using monoclonal antibodies

The plasma membrane of adult rat hepatocyte consists of three domains, which have been identified by the monoclonal antibodies A39 and A59 as markers of the sinusoidal domain, B1 of the lateral, and B10 of the canalicular domains (Eur J Cell Biol 39:122, 1985). These monoclonal antibodies were used to study, by indirect immunocytochemistry, formation of the hepatocyte plasma membrane domains during development, from day 15 of gestation to day 35 post partum. The antigens defined by A39, B1, and B10 were detected, from day 15, over the major part of the hepatocyte plasma membrane except for the membranes of newly formed bile canaliculi, which were not labeled by B1 and only poorly labeled, if at all, by A39 and B10. As soon as fetuses were 16 days old, B1 labeled predominantly the lateral domain, as in the adult. Labeling with B10 progressively intensified on the membranes of bile canaliculi, but localization was not exclusively canalicular until day 21 post partum. A39 intensely labeled the canalicular membranes at 19-21 days of gestation, while at 35 days post partum it exhibited the predominantly sinusoidal labeling observed in adult hepatocytes. The antigen defined by A59 was not detected before birth and was found exclusively on the sinusoidal domain, as in the adult. These results show that the patterns of antigen distribution on different plasma membrane domains establish themselves at different rates. The marked differences observed between fetal or neonatal and adult hepatocytes might be responsible for immaturity of liver functions in the neonate.
