Nutritional and hormonal regulation of malic enzyme synthesis in rat mammary gland.

ABSTRACT: Cytosolic malic enzyme was purified from rat mammary gland by L-malate affinity chromatography. The pure enzyme obtained was used to produce a specific antiserum in a rabbit. Relative synthesis of malic enzyme in the mammary gland of mid-lactating rats was 0.097%, measured by labelling the enzyme in isolated acini. When food was removed, malic enzyme synthesis decreased to 35% and 20% of the control value at 4 and 6 h respectively. Incorporation of [3H]leucine into soluble proteins was constant during the first 6 h of starvation. When lactating rats (maintained with their pups) were starved for 24 h and then re-fed, the relative rate of enzyme synthesis increased 2.5-, 4-, and 4.5-fold at 3 h, 6 h and 18 h respectively after initiation of re-feeding. The relative rate of malic enzyme synthesis was about 50% of normal at 15 h after weaning, whereas the rate of synthesis of soluble proteins did not change. Administration of bromocriptine or adrenalectomy of lactating rats decreased the relative rate of synthesis of malic enzyme by 40% or 30% respectively; these effects were counteracted by hormone supplementation. Hormone therapy also caused an increase in the rate of incorporation of [3H]leucine into soluble proteins and in malic enzyme activity.

Enzyme synthesis in the regulation of hepatic "malic" enzyme activity.

Project description:A homogeneous preparation of ;malic' enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) from livers of thyroxine-treated rats was used to prepare in rabbits an antiserum to the enzyme that reacts monospecifically with the ;malic' enzyme in livers of rats in several physiological states. Changes in enzyme activity resulting from modification of the state of the animal are hence due to an altered amount of enzyme protein. The antiserum has been used to precipitate out ;malic' enzyme from heat-treated supernatant preparations of livers from both adult and neonatal rats, in a number of physiological conditions, that had been injected 30min earlier with l-[4,5-(3)H]leucine. The low incorporations of radioactivity into the immunoprecipitable enzyme have permitted the qualitative conclusion that changed enzyme activity in adult rats arises mainly from alterations in the rate of enzyme synthesis. The marked increase in ;malic' enzyme activity that occurs naturally or as a result of thyroxine treatment of the weanling rat is likewise due to a marked increase in the rate of enzyme synthesis possibly associated with a concurrent diminished rate of enzyme degradation.

Hormonal regulation of retinoic acid-binding proteins in the mammary gland.

Project description:A cytosolic retinoic acid-binding (RAB) protein that sediments specifically as a 2S component on sucrose density gradients was detected in the mammary glands of virgin, pregnant and lactating rats. Mammary cytosol from pregnant rats contained significantly higher concentrations of cytosolic RAB protein than did cytosol from either virgin or lactating rats. The glands of pregnant animals exhibited increased concentration of cytosolic RAB protein during the first 5 days of pregnancy, and a steady decline was observed thereafter. The concentration of cytosolic RAB protein dropped to the value observed during lactation on the day 20 of pregnancy. Moreover, throughout lactation, low concentrations of cytosolic RAB protein were maintained. Daily treatment of virgin and lactating animals with 5 micrograms of oestradiol-17 beta for 1 week increased cytosolic RAB protein to concentrations comparable with those seen in pregnant rats. Progesterone, however, did not affect the mammary cytosolic RAB protein content of virgin rats. These results suggest hormonal involvement in the regulation of cytosolic RAB protein concentration of mammary gland during differentiation.

Hormonal induction and regulation of lactose synthetase in mouse mammary gland.

Project description:The augmentation of lactose synthetase activity during late pregnancy and lactation was measured by using both a tissue-culture assay and a cell-free assay. The results indicated at least a 100-fold augmentation in specific activity between late pregnancy and lactation. The cell-free assay indicated that the activities of both subunits of this enzyme had increased to 20-30% of the value during lactation by the last day of pregnancy. The tissue-culture assay, however, showed activities only 3-4% of the maximum at the time of parturition. This suggests that not all the enzyme present in the tissue before lactation commenced was active. Since at all stages of pregnancy and lactation the B subunit, alpha-lactalbumin (which is also a milk protein), was rate-limiting, it is suggested that the rate of lactose synthesis may be linked to the rate of milk-protein synthesis. Both subunits of lactose synthetase could be induced in tissue culture by the hormones insulin+hydrocortisone+prolactin. Of the three hormones, prolactin appeared to be the ;trigger' that induced the synthesis of these proteins if the tissue had been stimulated previously by insulin+hydrocortisone.

PER2 regulation of mammary gland development.

Project description:The molecular clock plays key roles in daily physiological functions, development and cancer. Period 2 (PER2) is a repressive element, which inhibits transcription activated by positive clock elements, resulting in diurnal cycling of genes. However, there are gaps in our understanding of the role of the clock in normal development outside of its time-keeping function. Here, we show that PER2 has a noncircadian function that is crucial to mammalian mammary gland development. Virgin Per2-deficient mice, Per2-/- , have underdeveloped glands, containing fewer bifurcations and terminal ducts than glands of wild-type mice. Using a transplantation model, we show that these changes are intrinsic to the gland and further identify changes in cell fate commitment. Per2-/- mouse mammary glands have a dual luminal/basal phenotypic character in cells of the ductal epithelium. We identified colocalization of E-cadherin and keratin 14 in luminal cells. Similar results were demonstrated using MCF10A and shPER2 MCF10A human cell lines. Collectively this study reveals a crucial noncircadian function of PER2 in mammalian mammary gland development, validates the Per2-/- model, and describes a potential role for PER2 in breast cancer.

Regulation of cholesterol synthesis in the liver and mammary gland of the lactating rat.

Project description:The activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase; EC 1.1.1.34) in the lactating mammary gland of rats killed between 10:00 and 14:30 h was 2-3 times that in the livers of the same animals. In contrast, after injection of 3H2O in vivo, the rate of appearance of 3H in the cholesterol of the gland was much lower than that in the liver. In the mammary gland of virgin and non-lactating animals, the activity of HMG-CoA reductase was less than 10% of that of the lactating gland. The activity of HMG-CoA reductase in the lactating mammary gland was significantly (P less than 0.005) lower at midnight than at mid-day, and appeared to show an inverse relationship to the activity of the liver enzyme. However, there was no corresponding change in the incorporation of 3H into the gland cholesterol. Withdrawal of food for 6h had no effect on the activity of HMG-CoA reductase in the lactating mammary gland, but resulted in a significant decrease (P less than 0.005) in that of the liver. Starvation of lactating rats for 24h produced a significant decrease (P less than 0.005) in the activity of the enzyme in both organs. There was also a significant decline in the rate at which 3H2O was incorporated in vivo into the cholesterol of both organs (liver, P less than 0.05; gland, P less than 0.005). Giving a high-fat palatable diet together with chow to lactating animals led to a decline in HMG-CoA reductase activity in the mammary gland, but not in liver. This decrease in the gland was not accompanied by a corresponding decline in the apparent rate of cholesterol synthesis.

Regulation of triglyceride synthesis in the parturient guinea-pig mammary gland.

Project description:1. The specific activity of the enzyme palmitoyl-CoA-l-glycerol 3-phosphate palmitoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.15) in the mammary tissue of guinea pigs has been shown to increase 37-fold at parturition. 2. Increases also occur in tissue concentrations of glycerol 3-phosphate, CoA and free fatty acid, but not in that of acid-insoluble CoA. 3. The isolation and fatty acid composition of plasma triglyceride and of mammary-tissue free fatty acid, diglyceride and triglyceride are described. 4. The findings are discussed in relation to the regulation of milk fat synthesis.

Circadian disruption-induced microRNAome deregulation in rat mammary gland tissues.

Project description:Breast cancer is the most common malignancy affecting women worldwide, and evidence is mounting that circadian-disruption-induced breast cancer is a warranted concern. Although studies on the role of epigenetics have provided valuable insights, and although epigenetics has been increasingly recognized in the etiology of breast cancer, relatively few studies have investigated the epigenetic link between circadian disruption (CD) and breast cancer. Using a proven photoperiod-shifting paradigm, differing degrees of CD, various tissue-extraction time points, and Illumina sequencing, we investigated the effect of CD on miRNA expression in the mammary tissues of a rodent model system. To our knowledge, our results are the first to illustrate CD-induced changes in miRNA expressions in mammary tissues. Furthermore, it is likely that these miRNA expression changes exhibit varying time frames of plasticity linked to both the degree of CD and length of reentrainment, and that the expression changes are influenced by the light and dark phases of the 24-hour circadian cycle. Of the differentially expressed miRNAs identified in the present study, all but one have been linked to breast cancer, and many have predicted circadian-relevant targets that play a role in breast cancer development. Based on the analysis of protein levels in the same tissues, we also propose that the initiation and development of CD-induced breast cancer may be linked to an interconnected web of increased NF-?B activity and increased levels of Tudor-SN, STAT3, and BCL6, with aberrant CD-induced downregulation of miR-127 and miR-146b potentially contributing to this dynamic. This study provides direct evidence that CD induces changes in miRNA levels in mammary tissues with potentially malignant consequences, thus indicating that the role of miRNAs in CD-induced breast cancer should not be dismissed.
