Abstract
We have investigated, by RNase protection assays in rat brain regions and primary cortical astrocyte cultures, the presence of the mRNA species encoding the three mitochondrially located enzymes acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase (mt. HMG-CoA synthase) and HMG-CoA lyase (HMG-CoA lyase) that together constitute the ketogenic HMG-CoA cycle. As a prerequisite we obtained a full-length cDNA encoding rat HMG-CoA lyase by degenerate oligonucleotide-primed PCR coupled to a modification of PCR-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (PCR-RACE). We report here: (1) the nucleotide sequence of rat mt. HMG-CoA lyase, (2) detection of the mRNA species encoding all three HMG-CoA cycle enzymes in all regions of rat brain during suckling, (3) approximately twice the abundance of mt. HMG-CoA synthase mRNA in cerebellum than in cortex in 11-day-old suckling rat pups, (4) significantly lower abundances of mt. HMG-CoA synthase mRNA in brain regions derived from rats weaned to a high-carbohydrate/low-fat diet compared with the corresponding regions derived from the suckling rat, and (5) the presence of mt. HMG-CoA synthase mRNA in primary cultures of neonatal cortical astrocytes at an abundance similar to that ...Continue Reading
