Comparison of Drug Metabolism and Its Related Hepatotoxic Effects in HepaRG, Cryopreserved Human Hepatocytes, and HepG2 Cell Cultures
Open accessAbstract
Differentiated HepaRG cells maintain liver-specific functions such as drug-metabolizing enzymes. In this study, the feasibility of HepaRG cells as a human hepatocyte model for in vitro toxicity assessment was examined using selected hepatotoxic compounds. First, basal drug-metabolizing enzyme activities (CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase [UGT], and sulfotransferases [SULT]) were measured in HepaRG, human hepatocytes, and HepG2 cells. Enzyme activities in differentiated HepaRG cells were comparable to those in human hepatocytes and much higher than those in HepG2 cells, except for SULT activity. Second, we examined the cytotoxicity of hepatotoxic compounds, acetaminophen (APAP), aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), cyclophosphamide (CPA), tamoxifen (TAM), and troglitazone (TGZ) in HepaRG cells and human hepatocytes. AFB1- and CPA-induced cytotoxicities against HepaRG cells were comparable to those against human hepatocytes. Furthermore, the cytotoxicities of these compounds were inhibited by 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT), a broad CYP inhibitor, in both cells and were likely mediated by metabolic activation by CYP. Finally, toxicogenomics analysis of HepG2 and HepaRG cells after exposure to AFB1 and CPA revealed that numerous p53-related genes were upregulated- and the expression of these genes was greater in HepaRG than in HepG2 cells. These results suggest that gene expression profiles of HepaRG cells were affected more considerably by the toxic mechanisms of AFB1 and CPA than the profiles of HepG2 cells were. Therefore, our investigation shows that HepaRG cells could be useful human hepatic cellular models for toxicity studies.

PHHs are the best in vitro hepatocyte models in current drug discovery research.
“Primary (cryopreserved) human hepatocytes (PHHs) are the best in vitro hepatocyte models in current drug discovery research.7,8)”
From Cryopreservation of Hepatocyte Organoid-Derived Cells Generated from Human iPS Cells (2025) · cites this paper as [8]
The paper’s introductory passage (labelled Abstract in our copy; page unavailable) calls human hepatocytes the gold standard of human hepatic models for toxicological studies. It does not say cryopreserved hepatocytes are the best models across current drug discovery research: the Discussion notes their variability and says HepaRG cells may be more feasible for early drug-discovery screening.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
