Regulation of the expression of the phospho enol pyruvate carboxykinase gene in cultured rat hepatocytes by glucagon and insulin

Abstract

The induction of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) by glucagon was studied in primary rat hepatocyte cultures by determining the time course of the sequential events, increases in the enzyme's mRNA abundance, synthesis rate, amount and activity, and by investigating the antagonistic action of insulin on the induction by glucagon. 1. The mRNA of PEPCK was induced maximally 2-3 h after addition of 10 nM glucagon, as detected by Northern-blot analysis after hybridization with a biotinylated antisense RNA of PEPCK. 2. The synthesis rate of PEPCK increased maximally 2-3 h after application of glucagon as revealed by pansorbin-linked immunoprecipitation of [35S]methionine-labelled PEPCK. 3. The enzyme amount and activity was maximally induced 4 h after glucagon application. 4. The mRNA of PEPCK was half-maximally induced by 0.1 nM and maximally by 1 nM and 10 nM glucagon. The half-maximal induction by 0.1 nM glucagon was antagonized almost totally, and the maximal induction by 1 nM glucagon partially, while the maximal induction by 10 nM glucagon remained unaffected by 10 nM insulin. The results show that in cultured rat hepatocytes physiological concentrations of glucagon stimulated the induction of PEPCK by an increase in mRNA, that the glucagon-dependent increase in mRNA and enzyme-synthesis rate occurred in parallel and preceded the increase of enzyme amount and activity by 1-1.5 h, and that physiological levels of insulin antagonized the induction by glucagon in the physiological concentration range, with glucagon being the dominant hormone.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
