The intracellular distribution of hepatic metabolites in normal and quinolinic acid (QA)-treated rats has been calculated. QA, an inhibitor of gluconeogenesis, raises the total cell content of malate, aspartate, α-ketoglutarate and citrate. The calculated mitochondrial content of all four metabolites was raised, as was the mitochondrial/cytosolic gradient, and the cytosolic content of oxaloacetate and α-ketoglutarate decreased. The fall of cytosolic oxaloacetate in QA-treated rats suggests a control at PEPCK by substrate limitation. It is suggested that QA may have an action on the translocation of polycarboxylate anions across the mi tochondrial membrane. 相似文献

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been proposed to act as a key energy sensor mediating the metabolism of glucose and lipids, and pharmacological activation of AMPK may provide a new strategy for the management of type 2 diabetes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of endogenous noncoding RNA that play important roles in many biological processes including energy metabolism. Whether miRNAs mediate AMPK action in regulating metabolic process is not clear. In this study, 0.5 mM 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR) was added to increase activation of AMPK in 8 week old C57BL/6 mice primary hepatocytes. MiRNA microarray was performed to compare the miRNA expression profiles of hepatocytes treated with or without AICAR. We discovered that 41 miRNAs were significantly altered in AICAR-treated sample (fold change: > 2) compared with untreated control sample. Among them, 19 miRNAs were upregulated. MiRNA targets were predicted by TargetScan. Further bioinformatic analysis indicated that these predicted targets might be mainly involved in pathways of cellular metabolism and tumor pathogenesis. FUNDO analysis suggested that these predicted targets were enriched in cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity and heart failure (P < 0.01). A series of miRNAs could be regulated by the activation of AMPK and might mediate the action of AMPK during metabolic processes and tumor pathogenesis. Predicted target genes discovered in this study and pathway analysis provide new insights into hepatic metabolism and tumor pathogenesis regulated by AMPK signaling and clues to the possible molecular mechanism underlying the effect of AMPK. 相似文献

Wood frogs, Rana sylvatica, can undergo prolonged periods of whole body freezing during winter, locking as much as 65–70% of total body water into extracellular ice and imposing both anoxia and dehydration on their cells. Metabolic rate depression (MRD) is an adaptation used by R. sylvatica to survive these environmental stresses, where a finite amount of ATP generated through anaerobic metabolism is directed towards maintaining pro-survival functions, while most ATP-expensive cellular processes are temporarily reduced in function. Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) is a vital metabolic enzyme that links anaerobic glycolysis to the aerobic TCA cycle and is an important regulatory site in MRD. PDH enzymatic activity is regulated via reversible protein phosphorylation in response to energetic demands of cells. This study explored the posttranslational regulation of PDH at three serine sites (S232, S293, S300) on the catalytic E1α subunit along with protein expression of four pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDHK1-4) in response to 24 h Freezing, 8 h Thaw, 24 h Anoxia, and 4 h Recovery in the liver and skeletal muscle of R. sylvatica using Luminex multiplex technology and western immunoblotting. Overall, inhibitory regulation of PDH was evident during 24 h Freezing and 24 h Anoxia, which could indicate a notable reduction in glycoytic flux and carbon entry into the tricarboxylic acid cycle as part of MRD. Furthermore, the expression of PDHK1-4 and phosphorylation of PDH at S232, S293, and S300 were highly tissue and stress-specific, indicative of how different tissues respond differently to stress within the same organism. 相似文献

Continuing studies on tetrahydroquinoline glucocorticoid receptor anti-inflammatory agents lead to the identification of several tetrahydroquinolin-3-yl carbamates that exhibited steroid-like activity in in vitro transrepression assays with reduced transactivation of phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), a key enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway. 相似文献

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the first committed step in gluconeogenesis. Here we investigated the effect of various hormones including cAMP, dexamethasone and insulin on the abundance of PC mRNA in the human hepatocyte cell line, HepG2. Treatment of HepG2 cells with 1 μM of glucagon increased the expression of PC mRNA threefold within 72 h. Treatment with 1 mM 8-Br-cAMP caused the abundance of PC mRNA to increase by 2-3-fold by 48 h, peak at fourfold at 72 h, and remain unchanged to 96 h. This is in contrast to phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) for which expression was decreased after 72 h, suggesting a distinct difference in the control of these two enzymes in the long term. Dexamethasone or insulin alone did not affect the abundance of PC mRNA whereas treatment of HepG2 cells with the combination of 1 mM 8-Br-cAMP and 0.5 μM dexamethasone further increased the abundance of PC mRNA, suggesting the predominant role of 8-Br-cAMP over dexamethasone. Transient transfection of the luciferase reporter construct driven by a 1.95 kbp 5′-flanking sequence of the mouse PC gene and a plasmid encoding the human cAMP-responsive element binding protein increased luciferase reporter activity to 7-fold similar to that observed with a PEPCK promoter-luciferase reporter construct. Deletion of the 5′-flanking region of the PC gene to 781 bp resulted in the complete loss of CREB-mediated induction of reporter gene, suggesting the presence of the cAMP-responsive unit is located between 1.95 kbp and 781 bp upstream of the mouse PC gene. Electrophoretic mobility shifted and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that CREB bind to −1639/−1631 CRE of mouse PC gene in vitro and in vivo, respectively. 相似文献

Under pathophysiological conditions such as obesity, excessive oxidation of nutrients may induce mitochondrial stress, leading to mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and initiation of a retrograde stress signaling pathway. Defects in the UPRmt and the retrograde signaling pathways may disrupt the integrity and homeostasis of the mitochondria, resulting in endoplasmic reticulum stress and insulin resistance. Improving the capacity of mitochondria to reduce stress may be an effective approach to improve mitochondria function and to suppress obesity-induced metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

The present study assesses the effects of osmotic stress on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activities and (14)C-total lipid synthesis from (14)C-glycine in the anterior and posterior gills, jaw muscle, and hepatopancreas of Neohelice granulata. In posterior gills, 24-h exposure to hyperosmotic stress increased PEPCK, FBPase and G6Pase activities. Increase in (14)C-lipid synthesis was associated to the decrease in PEPCK activity after 72-h exposure to hyperosmotic stress. Hypo-osmotic stress decreased PEPCK and G6Pase activities in posterior gills; however, (14)C-lipids increased after 72-h exposure to stress. In anterior gills, decreases in the G6Pase activity after 72-h of hyperosmotic stress and in (14)C-lipogenesis after 144-h were observed, while PEPCK activity increased after 144 h. Exposure to hypo-osmotic stress increased (14)C-lipid synthesis and PEPCK activity in anterior gills. Muscle G6Pase activity increased after 72-h exposure to hypo-osmotic stress; however, no significant change was observed in the lipogenesis. PEPCK decreased in muscle after 144-h exposure to hyperosmotic, coinciding with increased (14)C-lipid synthesis. In the hepatopancreas, a decrease in the (14)C-lipogenesis occurred after 24-h exposure to hyperosmotic stress, accompanied by increase in (14)C-lipid synthesis. Additionally, PEPCK activity returned to control levels. The hepatopancreatic lipogenesis from amino acids was not involved in the metabolic adjustment during hypo-osmotic stress. However, gluconeogenesis is one of the pathways involved in the adjustment of the intracellular concentration of nitrogenated compounds. 相似文献

The studies reported here were undertaken to examine the antihyperglycemic activity of an ethanolic extract of Artemisia dracunculus L., called Tarralin in diabetic and non-diabetic animals. In genetically diabetic KK-A(gamma) mice, Tarralin treatment by gavage (500 mg/kg body wt./day for 7 days) lowered elevated blood glucose levels by 24% from 479+/-25 to 352+/-16 mg/dl relative to control animals. In comparison, treatment with the known antidiabetic drugs, troglitazone (30 mg/kg body wt./day) and metformin (300 mg/kg body wt./day), decreased blood glucose concentrations by 28% and 41%, respectively. Blood insulin concentrations were reduced in the KK-A(gamma) mice by 33% with Tarralin, 48% with troglitazone and 52% with metformin. In (STZ)-induced diabetic mice, Tarralin treatment, (500 mg/kg body wt./day for 7 days), also significantly lowered blood glucose concentrations, by 20%, from 429+/-41 to 376+/-58 mg/dl relative to control. As a possible mechanism, Tarralin was shown to significantly decrease phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) mRNA expression by 28% in STZ-induced diabetic rats. In non-diabetic animals, treatment with Tarralin did not significantly alter PEPCK expression, blood glucose or insulin concentrations. The extract was also shown to increase the binding of glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) to its receptor in vitro. These results indicate that Tarralin has antihyperglycemic activity and a potential role in the management of diabetic states. 相似文献
