  • 摘要:Human biliary mucin and calcium binding protein (CBP) influence formation of both calcium salt precipitates and cholesterol crystals and colocalize in the center of cholesterol gallstones. We investigated how physiological concentrations of these proteins regulate cholesterol crystallization in model biles, supersaturated with cholesterol and calcium salts, mimicking pathological human bile. Using polarizing light microscopy and nephelometry to assess cholesterol crystallization, the influence of calcium ions and calcium phosphate precipitates in the absence and presence of mucin, CBP, and human serum albumin was determined. Calcium phosphate precipitates stimulated cholesterol crystallization more strongly than soluble calcium. Mucin also stimulated, and with soluble calcium or calcium phosphate precipitates additively increased, the cholesterol crystal mass. In the absence of mucin, only human serum albumin plus CBP, not these proteins individually, decreased the stimulating effect of calcium phosphate precipitates but not of soluble calcium. However, seeding of calcium phosphate precipitates in biles with mucins resulted in near complete cholesterol crystallization within one day whether CBP and HSA were or were not also present. In conclusion, calcium salt precipitates plus human biliary mucins induce rapid and complete cr ystallization of cholesterol from model biles, little influenced by human biliary calcium binding proteins.— van den Berg, A.
