RESUMO
The effects of starvation, glucose refeeding, dibutyryl cAMP, and dexamethasone on expression of the gene for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) [GTP:oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (transphosphorylating), EC 4.1.1.32] from rat liver cytosol was studied by using a cloned cDNA probe. The rate of transcription of the gene for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in hepatic nuclei isolated from starved rats decreased rapidly after refeeding with glucose. Administration of dibutyryl cAMP to glucose-refed animals increased the rate of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene transcription seven-fold within 20 min. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase mRNA in the cytosol is 2.8 kilobases long whereas liver nuclei contain four precursor RNA species that are up to 6.5 kilobases long. Feeding glucose to starved rats rapidly decreased the sequence abundance of enzyme mRNA in both nuclei and cytosol. However, the decrease in cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase mRNA was preceded by a transient increase in enzyme mRNA over the first 20 min after glucose refeeding. Administration of dibutyryl cAMP to glucose-refed starved animals increased the concentration of the nuclear RNA precursors of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase five- to eight-fold within 30 min and induced the mRNA for the cytosolic enzyme over a period of 60 min. We conclude that cAMP induces phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase mRNA by increasing the rate of gene transcription.
