Protoplasts which regenerate reproducibly in a short time to normal, fertile plants can be regenerated from an auxin-autotrophic genotype of Zea mays (L.). Starting from immature embryos on hormone-free media, an auxin-autotrophic, embryogenic callus is formed on the shoot basis of the seedlings, which callus retains its embryogenic potential over a substantial period of time when subcultured on hormone-free medium. In addition to fully-developed embryos, adventitious embryos are also formed under suitable culture conditions (6-9% of sucrose in the medium). When the sucrose content is reduced to 2-3% and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is added, soft, granular calli are formed which consist of embryogenic cell aggregates (type II callus). After subculturing the type II callus in the form of a cell suspension culture, totipotent protoplasts can be isolated. From these protoplasts, the maize plants according to the invention are regenerated.

Two cell lines, PICM-19H and PICM-19B, were derived from the bipotent ARS-PICM-19 pig liver stem cell line and assessed for their potential application in artificial liver devices. The study included assessments of growth rate and cell density in culture, morphological features, and hepatocyte detoxification functions, i.e., inducible CYP450 activity, ammonia clearance, and urea production. The PICM-19H cells contain numerous mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, vesicular bodies and occasional lipid vacuoles. PICM-19H cells display inducible CYP450 activity, clear ammonia, and produce urea in a glutamine-free medium. Ultrastructural analysis of the PICM-19B monolayers show that the roughly cuboidal cells display basal-apical polarization and are joined by tight junction-like complexes. Other ultrastructure features are similar to those of PICM-19H cells except that they possess numerous cell bodies resembling mucus vacuoles. The PICM-19B cells possess relatively high levels of GGT activity, but retain some inducible CYP450 activity, and some ammonia clearance and urea synthesis ability. These data indicate that both cell lines, either together or alone, may be useful as the cellular substrate for an artificial liver device. In vitro models of the liver are needed to replace animal models for the rapid assessment of drug biotransformation and toxicity. A unipotent porcine stem cell line PICM-19H differentiates exclusively into hepatocytes and can be induced to express CYP450 enzymes. These cells have many activities associated with xenobiotic phase I and phase II metabolism lacking in other liver cell lines. The PICM-19H cell line was also compared to the tumor-derived human HepG2 C3A cell line and to primary cultures of adult porcine hepatocytes. The results demonstrate the potential for the use of PICM-19H cells in drug biotransformation and toxicity testing and further support their use in artificial liver device technology.
