The present study involved the purification of GAF (glucocorticoid antagonizing factor) released in blood of endotoxemic mice, using the inhibition rate of tryptophan oxygenase (TO) activity in the mice liver as a parameter, to determine if this plays a role in metabolic disorders. GAF-rich serum in zymosan-primed and endotoxin-injected mice was subjected to chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, Blue Sepharose CL-6B and Sephadex G-200 superfine columns. Finally, GAF fractions were purified by chromatography on a DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column. The purified GAF showed a single band in electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel. The molecular weight of GAF was estimated to be 90,000. The purified GAF was regarded as glycoprotein. No factor (100 micrograms) exhibited lethal action on mice. The activity of TO in cortisone treated mice after injection of purified GAF was markedly lower than that in cortisone alone treated mice. On the other hand, there were no differences in tyrosine aminotransferase activities between the GAF plus cortisone injected group and cortisone only treated group. The glucose level after injection of GAF in cortisone treated mice initially showed hyperglycemia, but declined toward hypoglycemia 2 hr after injection, and thereafter returned nearly to the normal range by 4 hr. The liver glycogen level in GAF plus cortisone-treated mice was markedly lower than that in cortisone-alone treated mice. 相似文献

A possible role of intracellular Ca2+ and participation of calmodulin in cellular metabolism in endotoxin-poisoned mice were investigated. The levels of calcium in liver cytosol and liver mitochondria fractions in poisoned mice were markedly higher 18-48 hr after endotoxin injection than in the control mice. On the other hand, the levels of serum calcium in the poisoned mice were about 20% lower at 18 hr than in the controls. The serum calcium levels in mice injected with 50 and 100 micrograms of endotoxin showed no dose-response effect, but a dose-response effect was observed at a dose of 200-400 micrograms. The serum Ca2+ levels in endotoxin-tolerant mice were similar to those in the control mice. The levels in mice injected with glucocorticoid-antagonizing factor mice were about 14% lower at 3 hr than in the controls. The mice fed a vitamin D3- and calcium-free diet showed a higher mortality rate in the early stage (12-18 hr) of endotoxication than that of the mice fed a normal diet. The lipid peroxide levels and Ca2+-ATPase activity in the liver mitochondria fraction in endotoxin-poisoned mice showed a higher level than those of the control mice. There was little or no difference in the levels of serum glucose between the mice injected with calmodulin antagonist (trifluoperazine, TFP) plus endotoxin and those given endotoxin alone. However, the liver glycogen levels in TFP plus endotoxin-treated mice were markedly higher than that in mice given endotoxin alone. Furthermore, calcium antagonist (verapamil) plus endotoxin-treated mice had about a 40% higher survival rate after 72 hr than those given endotoxin alone. The findings suggest that there is a possibility of participation of the Ca2+-calmodulin system in carbohydrate metabolic disorders during endotoxemia and that the changes in intracellular Ca2+ may result in various metabolic disorders. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to determine the possible role of intracellular Ca2+ in lipid peroxide formation in endotoxin-poisoned mice. Leakages of LDH isozyme and acid phosphatase in serum of mice fed a Ca2+-deficient diet were remarkably increased after administration of 200 micrograms of endotoxin compared to that in endotoxin-nontreated Ca2+-deficient mice. Superoxide anion generation in liver of Ca2+-deficient mice and in mice fed a normal diet greatly increased after endotoxin administration. On the contrary, after endotoxin injection there was scarcely any difference in SOD activity of liver of Ca2+-deficient mice as compared to that in endotoxin-nontreated Ca2+-deficient mice. In spite of an increase of superoxide anion generation there was little or no effect of endotoxin administration on lipid peroxide formation in mice given a Ca2+-deficient diet. In the mice treated with a Ca2+-deficient diet, free radical scavenger levels (alpha-tocopherol and nonprotein sulfhydryl) in liver tissue after endotoxin injection were markedly decreased compared to those in Ca2+-deficient diet alone. Mice fed a normal diet exhibited a significant decrease of lipid peroxide level in liver by injection of endotoxin together with verapamil (10 mg/kg, s.c.). When mice fed a normal diet were injected with endotoxin, the state 3 respiratory activity showed a 49% decrease, and respiratory control ratio (RCR) of endotoxemic mice liver mitochondria was 38% lower than normal liver mitochondria. No difference could be observed in levels of state 3 and RCR between the mice given verapamil plus endotoxin and the normal mice. These findings suggest the possibility that Ca2+ may participate in the free radical formation in the liver during endotoxemia and also that Ca2+ may play an important role in the damage of liver mitochondrial function in endotoxemic mice. 相似文献

The administration of endotoxin to mice rendered hypersensitive by lead acetate resulted in profound lipid peroxide formation in the liver 6 hr postintoxication. Endotoxin plus lead acetate administration depressed glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities in mouse liver, whereas superoxide anion generation significantly increased in the livers of endotoxin plus lead acetate-treated mice compared with that in mice treated with endotoxin alone. Serum acid phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase isozyme exhibited much more leakage in endotoxin plus lead acetate-injected mice than in sera of mice given endotoxin alone. Nonprotein SH level in the liver was reduced markedly in endotoxin-lead treated mice compared with those receiving endotoxin alone. The plasma vitamin E level was found to decline by 6 hr postintoxication in both endotoxin-lead and endotoxin alone-treated mice, and the transient elevation of the plasma level at 18 hr may be considered to indicate mobilization from other tissues into the blood. 相似文献

Regulation of hepatic glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase by calcium and diacylglycerol 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Incubation of rat hepatocytes with angiotensin II (1 nM) produced a time-dependent accumulation of 1, 2-diacylglycerol and inactivation of glycogen synthase with maximum effects at 10 min. The level of diacylglycerol then gradually declined and the activity of glycogen synthase I returned to control values at 30 min. In contrast, angiotensin II caused an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ and an activation of glycogen phosphorylase which were rapid and transient, reaching maximum values in less than 2 min and then returning to control levels at 15 min. There were excellent correlations between the changes in glycogen synthase I and diacylglycerol levels and between the changes in phosphorylase alpha and cytosolic Ca2+ in these time-course studies. However, there was no correlation between the changes in diacylglycerol and phosphorylase alpha or between the changes in cytosolic Ca2+ and glycogen synthase I. Norepinephrine also caused a slow increase in diacylglycerol and inactivation of glycogen synthase, and a rapid increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ and activation of glycogen phosphorylase. Addition of an alpha1-adrenergic blocker (prazosin or phentolamine) caused rapid decreases in cytosolic free Ca2+ and phosphorylase alpha, but only slowly reversed the inactivation of synthase and accumulation of diacylglycerol. The dose-response curves for norepinephrine and prazosin on glycogen synthase were well correlated with those on diacylglycerol. It is proposed that in liver cells, Ca2+-mobilizing hormones regulate phosphorylase a through a Ca2+-dependent mechanism and inactivate glycogen synthase through the generation of diacylglycerol, at least in part. The data provide additional support for the view that protein kinase C may be important in the regulation of glycogen synthase in liver. 相似文献

Ca2+-stimulated inactivation of liver glycogen synthase was observed when a partially purified liver phosphorylase kinase fraction containing glycogen synthase was incubated with ATP-Mg2+. The Ca2+-stimulated portion of this inactivation was partially counteracted by trifluoperazine and slightly stimulated by exogenously added calmodulin. These results suggest that Ca2+-calmodulin may be involved as one of the factors causing this glycogen synthase inactivation. Although the exact mechanism mediated by Ca2+ has not been clearly determined, the possibility of the participation of some Ca2+-dependent protein kinase is discussed. 相似文献

The cyclic AMP and glycogen concentrations and the activities of phosphorylase kinase, phosphorylase a and glycogen synthase a were not different in livers from lean or ob/ob mice despite increased plasma glucose and insulin in the obese group. The liver water content was decreased by 10% in the obese mice. In hepatocytes isolated from lean mice and incubated with increasing glucose concentrations (14-112 mM), a sequential inactivation of phosphorylase and activation of glycogen synthase was observed. In hepatocytes from obese mice the inactivation of phosphorylase was not followed by an activation of synthase. The inactivation of phosphorylase occurred more rapidly and was followed by an activation of synthase in hepatocytes isolated from both groups of mice when in the incubation medium Na+ was replaced by K+ or when Ca2+ was omitted and 2.5 mM-EGTA included. The inactivation of phosphorylase and activation of synthase were not different in broken-liver-cell preparations from lean and obese animals. The re-activation of phosphorylase in liver filtrates in the presence of 0.1 microM-cyclic AMP and MgATP was inhibited by about 70% by EGTA and stimulated by Ca2+ and was always greater in preparations from ob/ob mice. The apparent paradox between the impairment of glycogen metabolism in isolated liver preparations and the situation in vivo in obese mice is discussed. 相似文献

Nitric Oxide Release from the Liver Surface to the Intraabdominal Cavity during Acute Endotoxemia in Rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by the liver during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia. The aim of this study was to examine whether NO, which is produced in the liver, is released from the liver surface to the intraabdominal cavity during endotoxemia. NO was quantitatively determined by chemiluminescence and a newly developed gas purge technique was used to directly measure NO released from the liver surface and the intraabdominal cavity of rats before and after LPS (0.1 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) or saline administration. The expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) mRNA in the liver was detected by Northern blot analysis. NO levels from both the liver surface and in the intraabdominal cavity were elevated at 2 h after LPS injection and peaked at 10 h and both the time course of NO level were well correlated with each other. Both NO levels were below the detectable range before LPS and after saline administration. Inducible NOS mRNA in the liver exhibited a sharp increase to a maximum level at 4 h after LPS injection. The present study indicates that the hepatic NO, which might have been produced by iNOS in the liver, is released from the liver surface to the intraabdominal cavity during endotoxemia. 相似文献

We investigated the inhibitory effect of Ca2+ in the micromolar range on the activation of glycogen synthase in crude gel-filtered liver extracts [van de Werve (1981) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 102, 1323-1329]. The magnitude of the inhibition was highly dependent on the glycogen concentration in the final liver extract. Ca2+ inhibited the activation of purified hepatic synthase b by the G-component of synthase phosphatase, as present in the isolated glycogen-protein complex. The cytosolic S-component was not inhibited. Maximal inhibition of the crude G-component occurred at 0.3 microM-Ca2+. The inhibition was not influenced by the addition of either calmodulin or calmodulin antagonists, or by various proteinase inhibitors. The use of purified G-component revealed that the inhibition by 0.3 microM-Ca2+ increased from 45% to 85% when the concentration of glycogen was raised from 1.5 to 20 mg/ml. Muscle glycogen synthase, extensively phosphorylated in vitro, was also used as substrate for purified G-component. Activation and dephosphorylation were similarly inhibited by 0.3 microM-Ca2+, but the magnitude of the inhibition was much greater with the hepatic substrate. No effect of 0.3 microM-Ca2+ was found on the activity of phosphorylase phosphatase in various liver preparations. We conclude that the inhibition of synthase activation by Ca2+ is one of the mechanisms by which cyclic AMP-independent glycogenolytic hormones promote the inactivation of glycogen synthase in the liver, especially in the fed state. 相似文献

Purified rabbit liver glycogen synthase was found to be a substrate for six different protein kinases: (i) cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, (ii) two Ca2+-stimulated protein kinases, phosphorylase kinase (from muscle) and a calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase, and (iii) three members of a Ca2+ and cyclic nucleotide independent class, PC0.7, FA/GSK-3, and casein kinase-1. Greatest inactivation accompanied phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (to 0.5-0.7 phosphate/subunit, +/- glucose-6-P activity ratio reduced from approximately 1 to 0.6) or FA/GSK-3 (to approximately 1 phosphate/subunit, activity ratio, 0.46). Phosphorylation by the combination FA/GSK-3 plus PC0.7 was synergistic, and more extensive inactivation was achieved. The phosphorylation reactions just described caused significant reductions in the Vmax of the glycogen synthase with little effect on the S0.5 (substrate concentration corresponding to Vmax/2). Phosphorylase kinase achieved a lesser inactivation, to an activity ratio of 0.75 at 0.6 phosphate/subunit. PC0.7 acting alone, casein kinase-1, and the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase did not cause inactivation of liver glycogen synthase with the conditions used. Analysis of CNBr fragments of phosphorylated glycogen synthase indicated that the phosphate was distributed primarily between two polypeptides, with apparent Mr = 12,300 (CB-I) and 16,000-17,000 (CB-II). PC0.7 and casein kinase-1 displayed a decided specificity for CB-II, and the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase was specific for CB-I. The other protein kinases were able, to some extent, to introduce phosphate into both CB-I and CB-II. Studies using limited proteolysis indicated that CB-II was located at a terminal region of the subunit. CB-I contains a minimum of one phosphorylation site and CB-II at least three sites. Liver glycogen synthase is therefore potentially subject to the same type of multisite regulation as skeletal muscle glycogen synthase although the muscle and liver enzymes display significant differences in both structural and kinetic properties. 相似文献

Interactions between insulin and alpha 1-adrenergic agents in the regulation of glycogen metabolism in isolated hepatocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Addition of insulin to liver cells from fed rats incubated in the absence of other hormones resulted in a 2-fold increase in glycogen synthase activity. This direct effect of insulin has been characterized and compared with the antagonism by insulin of alpha 1-adrenergic effects on glycogen metabolism. The activation of glycogen synthase by insulin developed slowly (20-25 min) and was most effective when the enzyme was partially preactivated by glucose. With glucose concentrations above 15 mM the effects of insulin and glucose were additive. In contrast to glucose, which caused inverse changes in phosphorylase and glycogen synthase activity, insulin activated glycogen synthase without affecting phosphorylase a. Treatment of hepatocytes with phenylephrine led to an activation of phosphorylase and inactivation of glycogen synthase, which could be partially blocked by insulin. This antagonistic effect of insulin was rapid (complete within 5 min of insulin addition) and showed an identical time course for both enzymes. The activation of glycogen synthase by insulin and inactivation by phenylephrine both resulted principally from alterations in the Vmax. Insulin added alone did not alter the basal cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, which was 160 nM as measured with Quin 2 as an intracellular Ca2+ indicator. Both the magnitude and the initial rate of cytosolic free Ca2+ increase induced by phenylephrine were reduced by about 50% in cells pretreated with insulin. It is concluded that the direct activation of glycogen synthase by insulin is mediated by a glycogen synthase-specific kinase or phosphatase, whereas insulin antagonizes the effects of alpha 1-agonists by interfering with their ability to elevate cytosolic free Ca2+. 相似文献

The effects of E. coli endotoxin administration on hepatic glycogen content and glycogen synthase activities in dogs were studied. Liver glycogen content was decreased by 80% 2 hr after endotoxin injection. When enzyme preparations were preincubated at 25 degrees C for 3 hr prior to their assays, 75% of total glycogen synthase was in I form in control dogs. Under such conditions, endotoxin administration decreased the percentage I activity from 75 to 37%; decreased the Vmax and Km for UDP-glucose for total glycogen synthase by 62.2 and 35.3%, respectively; decreased the Vmax and Km for UDP-glucose for glycogen synthase I by 75.6 and 15.6%, respectively; increased the A0.5 for glucose-6-P for the activation of glycogen synthase D by 126% at high (10 mM) and by 18-fold at low (1 mM) UDP-glucose concentration; increased the percentage D activity from 24 to 72%; decreased the I50 for ATP for the inhibition of total glycogen synthase by 49.7%; decreased the I50 for ATP for the inhibition of glycogen synthase I by 26.4%; and decreased the percentage I activity from 78 to 33% at ATP concentrations below 6 mM. When enzyme preparations were not preincubated prior to their assays, 90% of total glycogen synthase was in D form in control dogs. Under such conditions, endotoxin administration decreased the Vmax and Km for UDP-glucose for total glycogen synthase by 47.1 and 33.3%, respectively, and increased the A0.5 for glucose-6-P for the activation of glycogen synthase D by 24.2% at high (10 mM) and by 106% at low (1 mM) UDP-glucose concentration. From these results, it is clear that endotoxin administration greatly impaired hepatic glycogenesis by decreasing the activity of glycogen synthase; this impairment is at least in part responsible for the depletion of liver glycogen content in endotoxin shock. Kinetic analyses revealed that the decrease in the activity of glycogen synthase in endotoxic shock is a result of a decrease in the interconversion of this enzyme from inactive to active form and an increase in the interconversion from active to inactive form. 相似文献

Rat liver glycogen synthase was phosphorylated by purified protein kinase C in a Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent fashion to 1-1.4 mol PO4/subunit. Analysis of the 32P-labeled tryptic peptides derived from the phosphorylated synthase by isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional peptide mapping revealed the presence of a major radioactive peptide. The sites in liver synthase phosphorylated by protein kinase C appears to be different from those phosphorylated by other kinases. Prior phosphorylation of the synthase by protein kinase C has no significant effect on the subsequent phosphorylation by glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 or kinase Fa, but prevents the synthase from further phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, or casein kinase-2. Additive phosphorylation of liver glycogen synthase can be observed by the combination of protein kinase C with the former set of kinases but not with the latter. Phosphorylation of liver synthase by protein kinase C alone did not cause an inactivation nor did the combination of this kinase with glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 or kinase Fa produce a synergistic effect on the inactivation of the synthase. Based on these findings we conclude that the phorbol ester-induced inactivation of glycogen synthase previously observed in hepatocytes cannot be accounted for entirely by the activation of protein kinase C. 相似文献

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) inactivated glycogen synthase and activated glycogen phosphorylase in rat hepatocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner. These effects were dependent on the presence of Ca2+ in the incubation medium. When glycogen synthase was immunoprecipitated from cells incubated with [32P]Pi and then treated with PGE2 or PGF2 alpha, there was increased phosphorylation of the 88 kDa subunit of the enzyme. This phosphorylation affected two CNBr fragments of the glycogen synthase, CB-1 and CB-2, the same fragments that are phosphorylated by different glycogenolytic hormones. No phosphorylation of glycogen synthase by prostaglandins was observed in the absence of Ca2+. Thus the effect of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha on these glycogen-metabolizing enzymes supports a role for regulation by prostaglandins of glucose metabolism in parenchymal liver cells. 相似文献

The regulation of glycogen synthase by Ca2+-mobilizing hormones was studied by using rat liver parenchymal cells in primary culture. Long-term exposure of hepatocytes to 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) resulted in a decrease in vasopressin or ATP inhibition of glycogen synthesis and glycogen synthase activity, without any change in the activation of glycogen phosphorylase. In contrast, treatment with TPA did not diminish the effects of glucagon, isoprenaline or A23187 on glycogen synthase or phosphorylase. TPA treatment for 18 h did not change specific [3H]vasopressin binding, but abolished protein kinase C activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The effects of TPA to decrease protein kinase C activity and to reverse the inactivation of glycogen synthase by vasopressin were well correlated and were mimicked by mezerein, but not by 4 alpha-phorbol. However, 1 microM-TPA totally inhibited protein kinase C activity, but reversed only 60% of the vasopressin effect on glycogen synthase. It is therefore concluded that Ca2+-mobilizing hormones inhibit glycogen synthase partly, but not wholly, through a mechanism involving protein kinase C. 相似文献

Incubation of hepatocytes with the protein kinase C activator and tumour promoter 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA) produced a time- and concentration-dependent inactivation of glycogen synthase, but no change in phosphorylase. The same rate and extent of inactivation occurred in hepatocytes depleted of Ca2+ by treatment with the Ca2+ chelator EGTA. When hepatocytes were treated with the Ca2+-mobilizing hormone vasopressin (10 nM), the rate of glycogen synthase inactivation was similar to that observed with PMA (1 microM). Depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with EGTA abolished the ability of vasopressin to mobilize Ca2+ and activate phosphorylase without abolishing its ability to inactivate glycogen synthase and increase 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), the endogenous activator of protein kinase C. Protein kinase C, either in membranes or after partial purification, was shown to be activated in vitro by PMA in the presence of very low concentrations of Ca2+. Exogenous phospholipase C from Clostridium perfringens, at low concentrations, inactivated glycogen synthase and increased DAG without affecting cell Ca2+ or phosphorylase. It is proposed that the inactivation of glycogen synthase elicited by the Ca2+-mobilizing hormones is due, at least in part, to generation of DAG and activation of protein kinase C. 相似文献

Isolated rat hepatocytes were incubated in a medium containing 0.1 mM [32P]phosphate (0.1 mCi/ml) before exposure to epinephrine, glucagon or vasopressin. 32P-labeled glycogen synthase was purified from extracts of control or hormone-treated cells by the use of specific antibodies raised to rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase. Analysis of the immunoprecipitates by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate indicated that a single 32P-labeled polypeptide, apparent Mr 88000, was removed specifically by the antibodies and corresponded to glycogen synthase. Similar electrophoretic analysis of CNBr fragments prepared from the immunoprecipitate revealed that 32P was distributed between two fragments, of apparent Mr 14000 (CB-1) and 28000 (CB-2). Epinephrine, vasopressin or glucagon increased the 32P content of the glycogen synthase subunit. CB-2 phosphorylation was increased by all three hormones while CB-1 was most affected by epinephrine and vasopressin. These effects correlated with a decrease in glycogen synthase activity. From studies using rat liver glycogen synthase, purified by conventional methods and phosphorylated in vitro by individual protein kinases, it was found that electrophoretically similar CNBr fragments could be obtained. However, neither cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase nor three different Ca2+-dependent enzymes (phosphorylase kinase, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, and protein kinase C) were effective in phosphorylating CB-2. The protein kinases most effective towards CB-2 were the Ca2+ and cyclic-nucleotide-independent enzymes casein kinase II (PC0.7) and FA/GSK-3. The results demonstrate that rat liver glycogen synthase undergoes multiple phosphorylation in whole cells and that stimulation of cells by glycogenolytic hormones can modify the phosphorylation of at least two distinct sites in the enzyme. The specificity of the hormones, however, cannot be explained simply by the direct action of any known protein kinase dependent on cyclic nucleotide or Ca2+. Therefore, either control of other protein kinases, such as FA/GSK-3, is involved or phosphatase activity is regulated, or both. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase by the Ca2+- and phospholipid-activated protein kinase (protein kinase C) 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) has been found to phosphorylate and inactivate glycogen synthase. With muscle glycogen synthase as a substrate, the reaction was stimulated by Ca2+ and by phosphatidylserine. The tumor-promoting phorbol esters 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate was also a positive effector, half-maximal activation occurring at 6 nM. Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase, but not histone, was partially inhibited by glycogen, half-maximally at 0.05 mg/ml, probably via a substrate-directed mechanism. The rate of glycogen synthase phosphorylation was approximately half that for histone; the apparent Km for glycogen synthase was 0.25 mg/ml. Protein kinase C also phosphorylated casein, the preferred substrate among the individual caseins being alpha s1-casein. Glycogen synthase was phosphorylated to greater than 1 phosphate/subunit with an accompanying reduction in the -glucose-6-P/+glucose-6-P activity ratio from 0.9 to 0.5. Phosphate was introduced into serine residues in both the NH2-terminal and COOH-terminal CNBr fragments of the enzyme subunit. The two main tryptic phosphopeptides mapped in correspondence with the peptides that contain site 1a and site 2. Lesser phosphorylation in an unidentified peptide was also observed. Rabbit liver and muscle glycogen synthases were phosphorylated at similar rates by protein kinase C. The above results are compatible with a role for protein kinase C in the regulation of glycogen synthase as was suggested by a recent study of intact hepatocytes. 相似文献

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) binding to, and Ca2+ uptake and release by plasma membrane- and endoplasmic reticulum-enriched fractions of rat liver were measured after continuous Escherichia coli endotoxin (ET) administration in vivo. IP3 binding to both fractions was significantly reduced by ET treatment. This was associated with decreased Ca2+ uptake and impaired IP3-dependent Ca2+ release. A decrease of 5'-nucleotidase specific activity of plasma membrane-enriched fraction was also observed in ET treated rats. The results suggest that previously observed impairments in the ability of hepatocytes to mobilize Ca2+, to activate glycogen phosphorylase and to respond--when saponin permeabilized--by Ca2+ release upon IP3 addition during chronic endotoxemia are due to alterations in both IP3 binding to the subcellular fractions that are imputed to be targets of IP3, and a decrease in the size of IP3-sensitive pool of releasable Ca2+. 相似文献

Summary Cortisone-treated Buffalo rats have been parabiosed with untreated controls of the same age. The optical and electron microscopy, including histochemistry, of costal cartilage of these rats has been compared with that in single cortisone treated rats, single controls, and control parabiosed with control rats, at 14 and 28 days after parabiosis.Single cortisone-treated rats, in comparison to controls, have shown the greatest alteration in cellular morphology and in the extracellular matrix both at 14 and at 28 days. Cortisone-treated parabiosed rats demonstrate a gradation of these alterations. Cellular alterations include enhancement of lipid and glycogen deposition concurrently with the presence of numerous large cytoplasmic vacuoles containing beaded irregularly-shaped filaments, banded or unbanded collagen-like fibrils, and/or electron dense lamellar bodies. In the extracellular matrix, matrix vesicles, amianthoid fibers, randomly oriented unbanded fibrillar materials, and filament-like materials are most prominent in the single cortisone-treated rats and they are progressively less prominent in the cortisone-treated parabiosed rats, and in the parabiosed and single controls. Calcification of the extracellular matrix follows a similar pattern and is observed initially in pericellular halos of the single cortisone and in cortisonetreated rats parabiosed with controls.Histochemical techniques have shown that chondroitin sulfate is less demonstrable in the single cortisone and in the cortisone-treated parabiosed rats than it is in the single or parabiosed controls at 14 days but, at 28 days, all untreated or treated rats, single or parabiosed are basically comparable. Glycoproteins are prominent in the single cortisone-treated rats both at 14 and at 28 days and, at these same times, they are progressively less prominent in the cortisone-treated parabiosed rats and in the single or parabiosed controls.Many of the cortisone induced alterations in costal cartilage are suggestive of enhancement of the aging process.Supported in part by NIH HD 07074 相似文献
