| Abstract | Hepatic sinusoids present complex anatomical structures such as the endothelial sieve pores and the Disse space, which govern the microscopic blood flow in the sinusoids and are associated with structural variations in liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. However, the contributions of the permeability of endothelial and collagen layers and the roughness of hepatocyte microvilli to the features of this microflow remain largely unknown. Here, an immersed boundary method coupled with a lattice Boltzmann method was adopted in an in vitro hepatic sinusoidal model, and flow field and erythrocyte deformation analyses were conducted by introducing three new source terms including permeability of the endothelial layer, resistance of hepatocyte micro-villi and collagen layers, and deformation of red blood cells (RBCs). Numerical calculations indicated that alterations in endothe-lial permeability could significantly affect the flow velocity and flow rate distributions in hepatic sinusoids. Interestingly, a biphasic regulating pattern of shear stress occurred simultaneously on the surface of hepatocytes and the lower side of endothelium, i.e., the shear stress increased with increased thickness of hepatocyte microvilli and collagen layer when the endothelial permeability was high but decreased with the increase of the thickness at low endothelial permeability. Additionally, this specified microflow manipulates typical RBC deformation inside the sinusoid, yielding one-third of the variation of deformable index with varied endo-thelial permeability. These simulations not only are consistent with experimental measurements using in vitro liver sinusoidal chip but also elaborate the contributions of endothelial and collagen layer permeability and wall roughness. Thus, our results provide a basis for further characterizing this microflow and understanding its effects on cellular migration and deformation in the hepatic sinusoids. |
