Bile primary functions
Promotion of the digestion and absorption of dietary lipid and cholesterol.

Elimination of waste products
Compounds are processed by hepatocytes in 4 steps:
1)uptake across the sinusoidal basolateral membrane
2)Intracelllular transport
3)chemical modification
4)export across the canalicular (apical) membrane
what are the only compounds capable of reaching the space of disse?
nutrients
Bile composition
Secretory constituents
excretory constituents
obligatory constituents
housekeeper constituents
Secretory constituents
Bile
Glutathione (antioxidant)
Excretory constituents
Cholesterol
Bilirubin
Iron, Copper
Lipophilic drugs
Obligatory constituents
Organic acids
Electrolytes.
These two maintain bile functionality
Housekeeper constituents
Phospholipids
Mucus
H
HCO3
Immunoglobins
Which solutes are actively secreted in bile
Bile acids
Phosphotidylcholine
conjugated bilirubin
Xenobiotics
Which solutes are passively permeated (paracellularly) in bile
Water
Glucose
Calcium
Glutathione
AA
Urea
Rate limiting enzyme of bile synthesis is
7a-hydroxylase (CYP7A1)
Bile is conjugated to
taurine or glycine, otherwise bile would precipitate
Bile acids are secreted by
hepatocytes into bile
Bile is reabsorbed from
intestine to return back to the liver
bile is essential for
dietary fat and cholesterol absorption
Non-conjugated bile acids precipitate in
high acidity (high pKa)
Conjugated bile acids' solubility increases in
acidic environment (low pKa)
Primary bile acids are formed in
the liver; cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid
Secondary bile acids formed in
the intestine by the enteric bacteria (microflora)
In general, liver makes bile___ and intestine makes it
more soluble
less soluble
when is bile better to absorb fat?
when it's more hydrophobic
Highly hydrophobic acids have been implicated in the promotion of
colon cancer
increase in the hydrophobicity of bile acids in the intestinal lumen is associated with
an increase in cholesterol absorption
why is bile a good detergent?
all the hydroxyl groups clustered in one place, thats why they're good detergents
Bile acids function in whole organism
1- Elimination of cholesterol
function of bile in hepatocytes
1) Induction of bile flow and biliary lipid secretion
2) regulation of gene expression
Function of bile in biliary tract
1-Solubilization of cholesterol
2-stimulation of HCO3 secretion
Function of bile in small intestine
1-Solubilization of dietary lipids and fat
soluble vitamins
2- Stimulation of secretion antimicrobial factors
Function of bile in large intestine
1- Modulation of electrolyte absorption
and secretion
2- Stimulation of propulsive motility
Bile gut coming back from gut gets back through
NTCP (Na+ dependent taurocholic cotransport polypeptide), conjugated or nonconjugated
Some nonconjugated biles can be protonated and diffuse across
the membrane passively
OATP (Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide) mediates
transport of biles into hepatocytes, but NTCP is the main transport
BSEP (Bile Salt export pump) job is to
take bile to canaliculi and it uses ATP
Some Bile acids are sulfated and later
secreted into canaliculi by MRP2
If absorption of Bile by intestine is inhibited then
cholesterol can be stimulated to be degraded even more. Hypercholesteremia can be treated by inhibiting the reabsorption of bile in the gut
Bile Ileal Absorption is via
Apical Sodium Depedent Bile Acid Transporter (ASBT). Once inside cell bile is bound to Ileal Bile Acid Binding Protein (IBABP). Bile is transported to circulation via Organic Solute Transporter (Ost-a/b)
Biliary tract functions
Transfers bile to the intestinal lumen
Provides osmotic equilibration for bile
Secretes bicarbonate
Secretes IgA
Secretion of mucus
BBiliary tract provides osmotic equilibration by
Free permeability to H2O
Limited permeability to ions
Canaliculus function
Bile formation (Hepatocyte)
Sphincter of Oddi function
Regulated delivery of bile to duodenum. Prevention of reflux
Main process in gallbladder is
Isotonic absorption of NaCl. So it concetrates bile by actively removing NaCl and hence water
Cholangiocytes main job
Bicarbonate secretion--similar to ductule cells
Bile acid secretion increases mainly by
Canalicular bile secretion and not ductular secretion
Secretin increases bile flow at the ductules due to
bicarbonate
what dissolves cholesterol to be added into the bile
Bile acids and phospholipids
Cholesterol is taken back to the liver by
LDL
Cholesterol brough via LDL is pumped into canaliculi through
BSEP
Cholesterol brought via HDL is pumped into canaliculi through
abc 5/8
Bilirubin is synthesized from
the metabolism of hemoglobin
Bilirubin enters hepatocytes and gets conjugated and gets added into bile
by MRP2
In the intestine, bacteria will unconjugate bilirubin and it will convert it into
urobilinogen
what happens to urobilinogen?
Some of this will reach kidney and get excreted, and some will be taken by the liver and conjugated again. Some bilirubin gets excreted in the feces, gives feces its color.
If more cholesterol than bile can solubilize, than the solution will be
precipitated into a crystal like structure=cholesterol gallstone
Retention of Bile acids leads to
Hepatocyte injury
Retention of bilirubin leads to
Jaundice
retention of cholesterol leads to
Xanthomata
Defective micellar solubilization of lipid leads to
Malabsorption of cholesterol especifically.TGA and fat soluble vits
Hepatocanilicular cholestasis
vIRA-Alcoholic liver, estrogens/anabolic stool. congenital
Interlobular bile ducts cholestasis
Drugs, primary biliary cirrhosis, hepatic rejection
Extrahepatic bile ducts
Cancer, Stones, sclerosing cholangititis
Obstruction of bile flow leasa ro less bile acids in the intestinal lumen and
Impairment of fat absorption and bacterial overgrowth
Bile acid malabsorption in diseased ileum (surgical resection, chrons, radiation ileitis)
Reduces intestinal absorption
Increases colonic [bile acid] leading to diarrhea
Decreased micellar leads to
fat soluble vits deficiency
Decreased fat uptake leads to
cALORIE Deficiency
Diarrhea results from
Decreased micellar->decreased fat uptake->increased passage of fat into colon (bacterial lipases)->increased [fatt acid]->increased water secretion
Steatorrhea results from
Decreased micellar->decreased fat uptake->increased passage of fat into colon (bacterial lipases)
