Abstract
The studies described in this paper demonstrate rather conclusively the efficacy of the study of the regulation of gene expression in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. The utilization of these cells in completely defined medium allows one to determine the exact environmental conditions for the regulation of the expression of specific genes. In the studies described in this work, we have demonstrated that the regulation of glucokinase involved three hormones, insulin, corticosteroids, and T3. In contrast, the regulation of an enzyme involved primarily in fatty acid metabolism, ATP-citrate lyase, required only insulin and T3 for its full expression. Cyclic GMP appeared to be involved in the regulation of glucokinase, but not ATP-citrate lyase, a fact that would be extremely difficult to demonstrate clearly in vivo. The regulation of the gluconeogenic enzyme, ornithine aminotransferase, in vitro involved only a single hormone, glucagon, the inhibition of induction by corticoid steroids demonstrable in vivo being absent in cell culture. However, the repressive effect of glucose on the induction of this enzyme was quite comparable to that seen in vivo and was not mediated through cyclic AMP or insulin, based on findings in ...Continue Reading
