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 |
|

|
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
|
|

|
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)
