    Abstract In 1959, Ivar Sperber contrasted bile formation with that of urine and proposed that water flow into the canalicular conduit is in response to an osmotic, not a hydrostatic, gradient. Early attempts to support the hypothesis using a bile acid, sodium taurocholate, and the hormone secretin to stimulate bile flow led to conflicting data and a moratorium on attempts to further develop the initial proposal. However, current data amplify the initial proposal and indicate both paracellular and transcellular water flow into hepatic ductules and the canalicular conduit in response to an osmotic gradient. Also, the need to further modify the initial proposal became apparent with the recognition that bile acid aggregates (micelles), which form in the canalicular conduit, generate lecithin-cholesterol vesicles that contain water unrelated to an osmotic gradient. As part of this development is the recent introduction of the fluorescent localization after photobleaching technique for direct determination of hepatic duct flow and clarification of the role of biomarkers such as mannitol and polyethylene glycol 900. With the new paradigm, these biomarkers may prove useful for quantifying paracellular and transcellular water flow, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: It is essential to identify and characterize all the sites for water flow during hepatic bile formation to obtain more precision in evaluating the causes and possible therapeutic approaches to cholestatic syndromes. Updating the Sperber proposal provides a new paradigm that addresses the advances in knowledge that have occurred.

    Abstract Advances in molecular biology identifying the many carrier-mediated organic anion transporters and advances in microscopy that have provided a more detailed anatomy of the canalicular conduit make updating the concept of osmotically determined canalicular flow possible. For the most part water flow is not transmembrane but via specific pore proteins in both the hepatocyte and the tight junction. These pores independently regulate the rate at which water flows in response to an osmotic gradient and therefore are determinants of canalicular bile acid concentration. Review of the literature indicates that the initial effect on hepatic bile flow of cholestatic agents such as Thorazine and estradiol 17β-glucuronide are on water flow and not bile salt export pump-mediated bile acid transport and thus provides new approaches to the pathogenesis of drug-induced liver injury. Attaining a micellar concentration of bile acids in the canaliculus is essential to the formation of cholesterol-lecithin vesicles, which mostly occur in the periportal region of the canalicular conduit. The other regions, midcentral and pericentral, may transport lesser amounts of bile acid but augment water flow. Broadening the concept of how hepatic bile flow is initiated, provides new insights into the pathogenesis of canalicular cholestasis.

    Abstract (25R)-26-Hydroxycholesterol (27-hydroxycholesterol) has been found to accumulate in breast tissue and to stimulate tumor growth via the estrogen receptor. Although most tissues express CYP27A1, the highest levels are in macrophages and most attention had been given to the production of 27-hydroxycholesterol in sub-endothelial macrophages as part of reverse cholesterol transport. In view of the newly identified biologic activity, it is important to consider the determinants of the levels of 27-hydroxycholesterol in macrophages that infiltrate breast tissue. Among these determinants are the oxysterol binding proteins expressed in macrophages, the level of expression of CYP7B1, the oxysterol 7 alpha hydroxylase that generates an inactive triol, and further oxidation of 27-hydroxycholestrol to the C27 acid by multifunctional CYP27A1. Transport of 27-hydroxycholesterol from macrophages to plasma is HDL-associated. In many tissues the ratio of 27-hydroxycholesterol to cholesterol (ng/μg) is higher than that in plasma. Tamoxifen, an effective estrogen receptor antagonist that prevents breast cancer, also has the biologic property of blocking several steps in the lanosterol to cholesterol metabolic pathway. In genetically disposed women, tamoxifen may increase the amount of 27-hydroxycholesterol in breast tissue.
