     Abstract Opisthorchis viverrini infection induces inflammation and liver injury leading to increase periductal fibrosis with time. However, it's remain unclear whether these changes have effect on the original of bile duct changes. The aim of this study was to investigate the alterations of bile canaliculi (BC) and biliary physiology in hamster liver infected with O. viverrini during acute and chronic phases. In O. viverrini infected groups, electron microscopy revealed that BC showed tortuous course, dilatation of canalicular lumen and decreased the density of microvilli compared to normal control. The mRNA expression of FXR and Shp-1 genes significantly increased, but expression of Mrp2 and Ntcp significantly decreased in both acute and chronic of O. viverrini-infected groups compared to control group. A significantly decrease expression of BSEP, Ntcp, Cyp7a1, Cyp27a1 and CD10 genes was observed only in acute infection. In addition, CD10 staining for a canalicular pattern was significantly lower level than in the normal group. In contrast, the fibrotic markers including mRNA expressions of collagen I and III, protein expression of fibroblast specific marker α-SMA and serum hydroxyproline content were significantly higher levels than that of control. Increase of fibrotic markers was associated with the thickness of periductal fibrosis. In conclusion, O. viverrini infection induces BC alterations and decreases bile flow, bile acid uptake transporters and bile acid biosynthesis in relation to periductal fibrosis. The study may provide an insight information of biliary changes in opisthorchiasis- associated disease.
