- W14659763 abstract "Methotrexate is an antifolate that is widely used in the treatment of malignant tumours and other diseases. The present study was undertaken to examine the short-term effects of high doses of methotrexate (HD-MTX) on the ultrastructure and metabolic activity of isolated rat livers. The authenticity of the drug-induced changes was substantiated by the concomitant use of in vivo experiments. Isolated rat livers were infused with HD-MTX via the portal vein for 3 hours (total dose for each liver 2000 mg). For in vivo experiments, each rat received a single intravenous injection of a maximum tolerated dose of MTX (100 mg/kg body weight) that allowed the animals to survive for 3 days. At the end of each experimental period, MTX-treated and control livers were processed for light microscopy (LM), scanning (SEM) and transmission electron (TEM) microscopy. Oxygen consumption and thyroxine metabolism were measured in treated and control isolated livers. With the exception of a few minor differences, the structural changes in the hepatocytes after MTX treatment in vitro and vivo were similar. There were focal changes consisting of disruption of normal hepatic plates and swelling and vacuolation of the hepatocytes, with no clear evidence of restriction to a specific hepatic zone. SEM revealed striking changes in the plasma membrane, the microvillar system, intercellular junctions and the sinusoidal endothelium. TEM revealed disorganized endoplasmic reticulum, dispersion of the polyribosomes, a variety of mitochondrial changes, and glycogen redistribution. In MTX-treated isolated rat livers, the uptake of tetraiodothyronine (T4) was not affected, but triiodothyronine (T3) release was impaired. Oxygen consumption was increased in livers treated with MTX. Employing an organotypic liver perfusion model in conjunction with the in vivo experiment and the use of SEM, TEM and hepatic thyroxine measurements, this investigation revealed that infusion of HD-MTX induced early ultrastructual changes in cell membrane, intercellular junctions and cell organelles and disturbance in the functional integrity of the hepatocytes in isolated rat liver." @default.
