Taurocholate (TC) uptake by adult rat hepatocytes co-cultured with other rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC) was studied comparatively to hepatocytes in primary culture. Cells were cultured on Petri dishes for desired times prior to measuring their ability to transport TC. TC uptake was linear for 150

✦ Synopsis
by the 5th day in MS cells/hepatocyte co-cultures. The fact that the results of our work show the suitability of MS cells, an epithelialderived cell line, for improving the expression of biotransformation enzymes of cultured hepatocytes opens new possibilities of simplifying co-cultures for their use in drug-metabolism studies.

## Abstract Primary cultures of human hepatocytes and hepatoma cell line HepG2 are frequently used to evaluate the hepatic disposition of drugs and other xenobiotics. To check the variability of the expression of drug‐metabolizing enzymes in these in vitro models, expression of genes coding for sev
The cytochrome P-450 content promptly fell in adult rat hepatocytes cultured in conventional conditions whereas no obvious change was detected over a 10-day period when these cells were co-cultured with another rat liver epithelial cell type. A concomitant maintenance of the amino-pyrine N-demethyla
