The lipogenic capacity of rat liver is increased in animals fed a high carbohydrate, fat-free diet or by the administration of 2,2',5'-triiodo-L-thyronine. Underlying this change is a generalized induction of the enzymes involved in lipogenesis, including glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and malic enzyme, which together serve to generate the additional NADPH required for increased fatty acid synthesis. This report presents evidence indicating that induction of the hexose-shunt dehydrogenases involves increased enzyme synthesis secondary to elevated enzyme specific mRNA levels, as has previously been shown for malic enzyme. Activities of specific mRNAs, estimated by cell-free translation of hepatic poly(A)-containing RNA in the mRNA dependent rabbit reticulocyte lysate, were compared with enzyme specific activities and relative rates of specific enzyme synthesis. The 2-fold increase in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase specific activity in hyperthyroid rats and the 13-fold increase in rats fed a high carbohydrate, fat-free diet, relative to euthyroid, chow-fed controls were paralleled by comparable increases in the synthetic rates and mRNA levels of this enzyme. Similarly, consonant changes in the rate of enzyme synthesis and concentration of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase mRNA accompanied the 2.5- and 3-fold increases in specific activity of this enzyme observed in response to hormonal and dietary induction, respectively. Thus, both thyroid hormone and carbohydrate feeding appear to induce glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase primarily by increasing the effective cellular concentrations of their respective mRNAs and, consequently, their rates of synthesis.  相似文献

A number of properties of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from lactating rat mammary gland and R3230AC rat mammary adenocarcinoma are compared. The main electrophoretic forms of the enzyme from these sources are indistinguishable with respect to charge and molecular weight whereas the minor forms show differences in these properties. The subunit molecular weight and steroid inhibition of the enzymes from the lactating gland and tumor are not significantly different. These results are contrasted with similar studies in mice.  相似文献

By feeding a carbohydrate diet (without protein) to fasted rats, malic enzyme mRNA activity in the liver was increased to the level in rats fed a carbohydrate and protein diet, whereas the enzyme activity itself was increased to 60% of that level. It appears that malic enzyme mRNA activity was increased by dietary carbohydrate, while dietary protein contributed to an increase in the translation of mRNA. In the animals fed carbohydrate without protein, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA activity increased to 50% of the level in rats fed the carbohydrate and protein diet, whereas the enzyme activity increased to only 25%. By feeding a protein diet (without carbohydrate), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity increased to 65% of the level in rats fed both carbohydrate and protein. This enzyme induction appears to be more dependent on protein than carbohydrate. With the carbohydrate diet, acetyl-CoA carboxylase was induced up to the level in the carbohydrate and protein diet group, whereas fatty acid synthetase was induced to only 33%. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase induction appears to be carbohydrate dependent. On the other hand, isotopic leucine incorporation studies showed that the magnitudes of the enzyme inductions caused by the dietary nutrients should be ascribed to the enzyme synthesis rates rather than the degradation. By fat feeding, the mRNA activities of malic enzyme and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were markedly decreased along with the enzyme induction. Fat appears to reduce these enzyme inductions before the translation of mRNA.  相似文献

The quantity of translatable mRNA of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glucose-6-phosphate: NADP+ 1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.49) in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes subjected to different hormonal conditions was determined with a reticulocyte-lysate, cell-free system. The level of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA was about 5-fold higher in the presence of insulin than in its absence. This increase of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA reached a maximum 12 h after the addition of insulin. The maximum level of induction of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA required 10(-8) M insulin. Glucagon and triiodothyronine had no effect on the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA level. The increase of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity correlated with the increase in level of mRNA of this enzyme. This suggests that the changes in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in response to the above hormonal changes are primarily due to changes in the amount of mRNA coding for this enzyme.  相似文献

The nutritional regulation of rat liver glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was studied using a cloned DNA complementary to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA. The recombinant cDNA clones were isolated from a double-stranded cDNA library constructed from poly(A+) RNA immunoenriched for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA. Immunoenrichment was accomplished by adsorption of polysomes with antibodies directed against glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in conjunction with protein A-Sepharose and oligo(dT)-cellulose chromatography. Poly(A+) RNA encoding glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was enriched approximately 20,000-fold using these procedures. Double-stranded cDNA was synthesized from the immunoenriched poly(A+) RNA and inserted into pBR322 using poly(dC)-poly(dG) tailing. Escherichia coli MC1061 was transformed, and colonies were screened for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase cDNA sequences by differential colony hybridization. Plasmid DNA was purified from clones which gave positive signals, and the identity of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase clones was verified by hybrid-selected translation. A collection of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase cDNA plasmids with overlapping restriction maps was obtained. Northern blot analysis of rat liver poly(A+) RNA using nick-translated, 32P-labeled cDNA inserts revealed that the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA is 2.3 kilobases in length. RNA blot analysis showed that refeeding fasted rats a high carbohydrate diet results in a 13-fold increase in the amount of hybridizable hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA which parallels the increase in enzyme activity. These results suggest that the nutritional regulation of hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase occurs at a pretranslational level.  相似文献

Cyclic-AMP markedly increased the activities of peroxidase, malate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase but not glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Using inhibitors of protein and RNA synthesis, it was found that a part of enzyme activity increase caused by cyclic-AMP required fresh protein synthesis. The question of specificity of enzyme induction by cyclic-AMP has been examined.  相似文献

The activity of rat liver malic enzyme shows a marked increase when the animals are maintained on a restricted protein diet. Of the NADP-linked dehydrogenases tested (malic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase), the response is confined only to malic enzyme. Dietary sucrose is not required for the increase in activity, but elevated dietary levels of this disaccharide increase hepatic malic enzyme regardless of dietary protein. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is increased by dietary sucrose provided adequate dietary protein is supplied. The specificity of the response to lowered dietary protein shown by malic enzyme suggests that the control of the hepatic enzyme is mediated by processes different from those controlling the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to examine: the 24 h variation of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities, key enzymes for the maintenance of intracellular NADPH concentration, in rat liver in control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic animals. Adult male rats were fed ad libitum and synchronized on a 12:12 h light-dark cycle (lights on 08:00 h). One group of animals was treated with streptozotocin (STZ, 55 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) to induce experimental diabetes. Eight weeks after STZ injection, the animals were sacrificed at six different times of day—1, 5, 9, 13, 17 and 21 Hours After Lights On (HALO)—and livers were obtained. Enzyme activities were determined spectrophotometrically in triplicate in liver homogenates and expressed as units per mg protein. 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity was measured by substituting 6-phosphogluconate as substrate. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was determined by monitoring NADPH production. Treatment, circadian time, and interaction between treatment and circadian time factors were tested by either one or two way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Two-way ANOVA revealed that 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity significantly depended on both the treatment and time of sacrifice. 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity was higher in control than diabetic animals; whereas, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity did not vary over the 24 h in animals made diabetic by STZ treatment. Circadian variation in the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was also detected in both the control and STZ treatment groups (one-way ANOVA). Time-dependent variation in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity during the 24 h was detected in control but not in diabetic rats. No significant interaction was detected between STZ-treatment and time of sacrifice for both hepatic enzyme activities. These results suggest that the activities of NADPH-generating enzymes exhibit 24 h variation, which is not influenced by diabetes.  相似文献

The level of hepatic immunoreactive glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase protein was found to correlate well with the enzyme activity in adult rats fed the stock laboratory diet in a variety of hormonal conditions. The amount of immunoreactive protein and enzyme activity was 2-fold greater in sexually mature female rats compared with aged matched male animals. However, this difference was absent in diabetic animals, and furthermore although triiodothyronine administration to the diabetic male rat could restore the level of enzyme activity to that of the normoglycaemic animal, it was much less effective in the female animal. In contrast, administration of insulin to the normoglycaemic animal increased the level of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the female, but was without effect in the male. These results are discussed in relation to the possible role of thyroid status and steroid sex hormones in the regulation of hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.  相似文献

Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is an anabolic steroid, modified to enhance anabolic rather than androgenic actions. The physiological effects of ND treatment are often used in various aspects of medical practice. In this investigation we have tried to establish whether a single, high dose of ND (20 mg/kg) would cause any anabolic effects. Moreover, we have attempted to correlate the eventual effects with changes in the activity and kinetic properties of anabolic- and bioenergetic-involved enzymes in different tissues of rats, along with the rats' ECG parameters. The body and liver weights of the rats were unchanged, but heart weight had increased 10 days after ND injection. Electrocardiographic data showed a small prolongation of the QRS complex 3, 6, and 10 days after ND treatment. It was established that ND causes activation of glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases, malic enzyme, and NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase in rat hearts. Moreover, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from the hearts of ND-treated rats showed higher affinity to its substrate, in comparison with control. Activation of transketolase by ND in the liver was accompanied by inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases. We observed an increase of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and NAD-linked malate dehydrogenase in the muscle of ND treated rats. It may be concluded that ND in a single high dose exhibits cardiotrophic action, especially towards the increase of heart dehydrogenases activity which generates NADPH and supplies ribose phosphate for the biosynthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids. On the other hand, ND may cause activation of ATP synthesis in muscle by enhanced malate-aspartate shuttle action.  相似文献

The effect of oral administration of sodium orthovanadate on hepatic malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) activities was investigated in nondiabetic and diabetic rats. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were characterized by 4.7-fold increase in plasma glucose and 82% decrease in plasma insulin levels. The activities of hepatic malic enzyme and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were also diminished (P less than 0.001). Vanadate treatment in diabetic rats led to a significant decrease (P less than 0.001) in plasma glucose levels and to the normalization of enzyme activities, but it did not alter plasma insulin levels. In nondiabetic rats vanadate decreased the plasma insulin level by 64% without altering the enzyme activities. Significant correlation was observed between plasma insulin and hepatic lipogenic enzyme activities in untreated and vanadate-treated rats. Vanadate administration caused a shift to left in this correlation suggesting improvement in insulin sensitivity.  相似文献

—Activities of acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and β-glucuronidase have been estimated in the brain tissues, using various subcellular particles, in growing thyroidectomized rats and also using cytoplasmic extracts free from debris and nuclear fraction in young hypothyroid animals. Hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was markedly reduced after thyroidectomy but the enzyme was brought back to normal levels by thyroxine treatment. There was no change, however, in the activity of neural glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase after thyroidectomy. In the thyroidectomized animals an increase only in the free acid phosphatase activity in the neural synaptosomes was found and this increase in activity was not counteracted by administration of thyroxine. In the hypothyroid young animal β-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities were found to be affected during development.  相似文献

The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the hexose monophosphate shunt, was examined in olfactory epithelium, respiratory epithelium, olfactory bulb, and occipital cortex in Fisher 344 rats aged 4 and 24 months. Marked differences in this enzyme were found in olfactory compared to nonolfactory tissues. Olfactory epithelium and olfactory bulb have much greater glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity than respiratory epithelium and occipital cortex at both ages. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase remains fairly constant between adulthood and senescence in respiratory epithelium and occipital cortex. However, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity decreases during the same time in both of the olfactory tissues examined. Previous studies of changes in this enzyme with aging have shown increases in enzyme activity in some brain regions, but never the decreases that we describe in olfactory tissues. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase histochemistry revealed intense staining of both the apical layer of olfactory epithelium and of Bowman's glands along with their ducts. Histochemistry of the olfactory bulb showed strongest staining in the nerve and glomerular layers of the bulb. The functional implications of these findings are discussed.  相似文献

Summary A quantitative cytochemical assay for NAD+ kinase-like activity in the guinea-pig thyroid gland is described. The NADP+ produced by the activity of the kinase was used to drive the NADP+-dependent enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase which is endogenous to the tissue. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is greatly in excess of that of the kinase and was unaffected by the constituents of the kinase incubation medium (ATP, Mg2+ and NAD+) either alone or in combination. Kinase activity was dependent both on ATP and Mg2+, with maximal activity seen when the Mg-ATP ratio was between 1:1 and 4:1. Free ATP inhibited the activity of the enzyme. Enzyme activity was exhibited over a broad pH range (7–9) with a peak at pH 8.2. The sulphhydryl-blocking agents,p-chloromercuribenzoate, iodoacetate and iodoacetamide (at 1 mM), completely abolished kinase activity but were without effect on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity.N-ethylmaleimide and citrate (both at 1 mM) had no effect on either kinase or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities.  相似文献

A new form of cytoplasmic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (E.C.1.1.1.49) was purified from rat liver by protamine sulfate precipitation, ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography with diethylaminoethyl cellulose, and affinity chromatography with Cibacron blue agarose and NADP agarose. This form of the enzyme has a specific activity of over 600 units/mg of protein and gives essentially a single band by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The form of the enzyme isolated by this purification method is 3 times more active than the form purified from liver by previously reported procedures. The relative mass of this pure glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme was determined by disc gel electrophoresis to be 269,000. This high activity glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme, after inactivation by reaction with palmityl-CoA, was no longer precipitated by specific rabbit and goat antisera to this purified enzyme. Thus, the possibility still exists that starved fat-refed animals contain glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme protein in an inactivated form no longer detectable by either enzyme activity or immunoprecipitation.  相似文献

It is established that the activity of malate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in rats aged 1,3 and 12 months lowers under fasting and on high-fatty diet and in old animals (24 months) on a high-fatty diet only the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity decreases. When rats after fasting are put on high-carbohydrate diet the activity value of the mentioned enzymes has already returned to the initial level after 12 hours in rats aged 1 and 12 months and in rats aged 3 months it exceeds that activity in intact rats. The rise in the activity of the determined enzymes is completely blocked by the preliminary administration of actinomycin D. The isocitrate dehydrogenase activity remains unchanged under conditions of maintaining animals on different diets.  相似文献

We have previously shown that in vivo lipogenesis is markedly reduced in liver, carcass, and in 4 different depots of adipose tissue of rats adapted to a high protein, carbohydrate-free (HP) diet. In the present work, we investigate the activity of enzymes involved in lipogenesis in the epididymal adipose tissue (EPI) of rats adapted to an HP diet before and 12 h after a balanced diet was introduced. Rats fed an HP diet for 15 days showed a 60% reduction of EPI fatty acid synthesis in vivo that was accompanied by 45%-55% decreases in the activities of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, ATP-citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and malic enzyme. Reversion to a balanced diet for 12 h resulted in a normalization of in vivo EPI lipogenesis, and in a restoration of acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity to levels that did not differ significantly from control values. The activities of ATP-citrate lyase and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex increased to about 75%-86% of control values, but the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme remained unchanged 12 h after diet reversion. The data indicate that in rats, the adjustment of adipose tissue lipogenic activity is an important component of the metabolic adaptation to different nutritional conditions.  相似文献

Summary In submerged cultures of Claviceps sp. CP II, elymoclavine was synthesized only by the growing mycelium (phase P1), whereas cultures of C. purpurea strain 129 produced agroclavine after vegetative growth had also ceased (phase P2). In strain CP II, the peak of activity of malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphatases was related to the time of maximum growth rate and alkaloid production. Citrate synthase activity paralleled the course of alkaloid synthesis. Strain 129 exhibited a further activity peak of the same magnitude during phase P2. ATP levels in both cultures corresponded to the pattern of change in enzyme activities. Strain CP II contained roughly twice as much orthophosphate and ATP in its cells as strain 129 and exhibited higher average activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. It follows from these results that alkaloid synthesis requires the processes of primary metabolism, even when it occurs after active growth of the culture has ceased. Cultures producing alkaloids oxidized at C-8 exhibit higher glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, probably because of a higher NADPH consumption.  相似文献
