We explored the effect of extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by fetal and adult hepatocytes on tissue-specific gene expression and proliferation of fetal and adult hepatocytes. Adult hepatocytes ECM strongly induced expression of both albumin and HNF-4 in adult hepatocytes. In contrast, fibroblast ECM reduced the expression of mRNAs for albumin and alpha-fetoprotein in fetal hepatocytes. Adult hepatocytes ECM also increased the activity of liver-specific enzymes of adult hepatocytes (DPP IV and glucose-6-phosphatase) in both fetal and adult hepatocytes, while fetal hepatocyte-derived ECM increased activity of the fetal hepatocyte enzyme GGT in fetal hepatocytes. Fibroblast ECM was inhibitory for the activity of all enzymes assayed. Removal of heparin chains from the various matrices by pretreatment of the ECM with heparinase resulted in reduction of glucose-6-phosphatase and DPP IV in adult hepatocytes. Removal of chondroitin sulfate chains from fetal hepatocyte-derived ECM resulted in loss of induction of GGT in the fetal cells. Fetal hepatocytes proliferated best on adult hepatocyte-derived ECM. Adult hepatocytes showed only modest proliferation on both fetal and adult hepatocytes ECM and their growth was inhibited by fibroblast ECM. In conclusion, adult hepatocyte ECM better supports the expression of adult genes, whereas fetal hepatocyte ECM induced expression of fetal genes. Fibroblast derived-ECM was inhibitory for both proliferation and tissue-specific gene expression in fetal and adult hepatocytes. The data support a role for heparan sulfate being the active element in adult ECM, and chondroitin sulfate being the active element in fetal ECM.
