Glutamine is a good substrate for glycogen synthesis in isolated hepatocytes from 72 h-starved rats, but not from 24 h- or 48 h-starved rats.

ABSTRACT: In isolated hepatocytes from 24 h-starved rats, no glycogen synthesis was observed in the presence of glutamine. By contrast, glutamine was the best gluconeogenic substrate to induce glycogen synthesis in isolated hepatocytes from 72 h-starved rats. The effect of glutamine on glycogen synthesis was not accompanied by parallel changes in glucose or lactate production. Glutamine activated glycogen synthase independently of the starvation period; however, the extent of synthase activation was 2-fold higher in isolated hepatocytes from 72 h-starved rats than in hepatocytes from 24 h-starved rats. This increase in synthase activation was associated with increased cell swelling. The rate of glutamine transport was not significantly different in hepatocytes from 24 h- and 72 h-starved rats. By contrast, the intracellular glutamate concentration was 1.5-fold higher after 3 days of starvation in hepatocytes incubated with 5 mM-glutamine. We propose that glutamine may play a key role in the glycogen synthesis observed in vivo after 3 days of starvation.

Gene expression data from primary human hepatocytes treated with GGF2 for 6, 24, or 72 h or 24 h with a 48 h washout.

Project description:GGF2 is a recombinant human neuregulin-1β in development for chronic heart failure. Phase 1 clinical trials of GGF2 were put on hold when transient elevations in serum aminotransferases and total bilirubin were observed in 2 of 43 subjects receiving GGF2. However, aminotransferase elevations were modest and not typical of liver injury sufficient to result in elevated serum bilirubin. Several translational approaches were used to understand the liver response associated with GGF2. Gene expression profiling was performed in sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes treated with GGF2 (0-3760 pM) for up to 72 h. Prior cytochrome P450 induction studies had unexpectedly demonstrated suppression of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) mRNA in primary human hepatocytes exposed to GGF2 for 24 h. Although no direct cytotoxicity was observed in response to GGF2, the suppression of CYP3A4 transcript levels in primary hepatocyte cultures had a temporal profile consistent with the transient bilirubin elevations observed in vivo. While downregulation of CYP3A4 alone should not influence serum bilirubin levels, it was reasoned that concomitant alterations in the expression of other liver proteins, such as those involved in bilirubin transport, could help to explain the liver response.

Glycogen synthesis by hepatocytes from diabetic rats.

Project description:Hepatocytes prepared from streptozotocin- and alloxan-diabetic rats starved for 24 h contain 0.5--2% wet wt. of glycogen. Glycogen synthesis in the hepatocytes from such rats, after prior depletion of the glycogen by glucagon injection, was studied. As distinct from cells from normal animals, there was no glycogen synthesis from glucose as sole substrate, even at concentrations of 60 mM. When supplied with glucose, a gluconeogenic precursor (lactate, dihydroxyacetone or fructose), and with glutamine there was concurrent synthesis of glucose and of glycogen. Without glutamine there was little or no glycogen synthesis. The rate of glycogen formation was in the same range as for cells from control rats. Glutamine addition markedly activated glycogen synthase in cells of starved diabetic rats, but there was no effect on phosphorylase. We obtained very little synthesis of glycogen with hepatocytes from fed diabetic rats, whereas with normal animals, synthesis by such cells equals or exceeds that obtained from starved rats. The conversion of synthase b (inactive) into the active form was studied in rat liver homogenates. The activation of the synthase in cells from starved diabetic rats is somewhat less than that from normal animals, but that from fed diabetic rats is markedly decreased compared with that in livers of fed control animals or that of starved diabetic animals.

Stimulation of glycogen synthesis and lipogenesis by glutamine in isolated rat hepatocytes.

Project description:Glutamine stimulated glycogen synthesis and lactate production in hepatocytes from overnight-fasted normal and diabetic rats. The effect, which was half-maximal with about 3 mM-glutamine, depended on glucose concentration and was maximal below 10 mM-glucose. beta-2-Aminobicyclo[2.2.1.]heptane-2-carboxylic acid, an analogue of leucine, stimulated glutaminase flux, but inhibited the stimulation of glycogen synthesis by glutamine. Various purine analogues and inhibitors of purine synthesis were found to inhibit glycogen synthesis from glucose, but they did not abolish the stimulatory effect of glutamine on glycogen synthesis. The correlation between the rate of glycogen synthesis and synthase activity suggested that the stimulation of glycogen synthesis by glutamine depended solely on the activation of glycogen synthase. This activation of synthase was not due to a change in total synthase, nor was it caused by a faster inactivation of glycogen phosphorylase, as was the case after glucose. It could, however, result from a stimulation of synthase phosphatase, since, after the addition of 1 nM-glucagon or 10 nM-vasopressin, glutamine did not interfere with the inactivation of synthase, but did promote its subsequent re-activation. Glutamine was also found to inhibit ketone-body production and to stimulate lipogenesis.

Glutamine gluconeogenesis in the small intestine of 72 h-fasted adult rats is undetectable.

Project description:Recent reports have indicated that 48-72 h of fasting, Type 1 diabetes and high-protein feeding induce gluconeogenesis in the small intestine of adult rats in vivo. Since this would (i) represent a dramatic revision of the prevailing view that only the liver and the kidneys are gluconeogenic and (ii) have major consequences in the metabolism, nutrition and diabetes fields, we have thoroughly re-examined this question in the situation reported to induce the highest rate of gluconeogenesis. For this, metabolically viable small intestinal segments from 72 h-fasted adult rats were incubated with [3-13C]glutamine as substrate. After incubation, substrate utilization and product accumulation were measured by enzymatic and NMR spectroscopic methods. Although the segments utilized [13C]glutamine at high rates and accumulated 13C-labelled products linearly for 30 min in vitro, no substantial glucose synthesis could be detected. This was not due to the re-utilization of [13C]glucose initially synthesized from [13C]glutamine. Arteriovenous metabolite concentration difference measurements across the portal vein-drained viscera of 72 h-fasted Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats clearly indicated that glutamine, the main if not the only gluconeogenic precursor taken up, could not give rise to detectable glucose production in vivo. Therefore we challenge the view that the small intestine of the adult rat is a gluconeogenic organ.

Stimulation by glucose of gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes isolated from starved rats.

Project description:Control properties of the gluconeogenic pathway in hepatocytes isolated from starved rats were studied in the presence of glucose. The following observations were made. (1) Glucose stimulated the rate of glucose production from 20 mM-glycerol, from a mixture of 20 mM-lactate and 2 mM-pyruvate, or from pyruvate alone; no stimulation was observed with 20 mM-alanine or 20 mM-dihydroxyacetone. Maximal stimulation was obtained between 2 and 5 mM-glucose, depending on the conditions. At concentrations above 6 mM, gluconeogenesis declined again, so that at 10 mM-glucose the glucose production rate became equal to that in its absence. (2) With glycerol, stimulation of gluconeogenesis by glucose was accompanied by oxidation of cytosolic NADH and reduction of mitochondrial NAD+ and was insensitive to the transaminase inhibitor amino-oxyacetate; this indicated that glucose accelerated the rate of transport of cytosolic reducing equivalents to the mitochondria via the glycerol 1-phosphate shuttle. (3) With lactate plus pyruvate (10:1) as substrates, stimulation of gluconeogenesis by glucose was almost additive to that obtained with glucagon. From an analysis of the effect of glucose on the curves relating gluconeogenic flux and the steady-state intracellular concentrations of gluconeogenic intermediates under various conditions, in the absence and presence of glucagon, it was concluded that addition of glucose stimulated both phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and pyruvate carboxylase activity.

Glutamine-synthesizing activity in lungs of fed, starved, acidotic, diabetic, injured and septic rats.

Project description:The maximal catalytic activity of glutamine synthetase was measured in lung homogenates of the rat (being 5.46 +/- 0.29 mumol/min per g wet wt. or 31.70 +/- 2.62 nmol/min per mg of protein at 37 degrees C, in fed animals). The activity is similar to that of liver, but 16-fold higher than that in quadriceps muscles. Chronic (NH4Cl-induced) or acute (HCl-induced) metabolic acidosis had no effects on enzyme activity, but there was a marked increase in the activity of glutamine synthetase in starved (30-40%), streptozotocin-diabetic (17%), dexamethasone-treated (18-22%), laparotomized (25-27%) and septic rats (24-45%).

Gene expression data from primary human hepatocytes treated with tolvaptan for 4, 24, or 72 h

Project description:A micropatterned coculture model (HepatoPac®) was used to explore the possibility that changes in exosome content precede overt necrosis in response to tolvaptan, a drug known to cause idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury. Hepatocytes from 3 human donors were exposed to a range of tolvaptan concentrations bracketing plasma Cmax (0.01 - 50 µM) or DMSO control continuously for 4, 24, or 72 h. While ALT release was not significantly affected, tolvaptan exposure resulted in increased release of exosomal microRNA-122 (miR-122) into the medium. Microarray analysis was used to idenfity the activation of molecular stress response pathways most associated with increases in exosomal miR-122.
