Development and regulation of ketogenesis in hepatocytes isolated from newborn rats.

ABSTRACT: The development of fatty acid metabolism was studied in isolated hepatocytes from newborn rats. Ketone-body production from oleate is increased 6-fold between 0 and 16 h after birth. This increase is related to an enhanced beta-oxidation rather than to a channeling of acetyl-CoA from the tricarboxylic acid cycle to ketone-body synthesis. The increase in oleate oxidation is not related to a decreased esterification rate, as the latter is already low at birth and does not decrease further. At birth, lipogenic rate is 2-3-fold lower than in fed adult rats and it decreases to undetectable values in 16 h-old rats. A 90% inhibition of lipogenesis in hepatocytes of newborn rats (0 h) by glucagon and 5-(tetradecyloxy)-2-furoic acid does not lead to an increased oxidation of non-esterified fatty acids. This suggests that the inverse relationship between lipogenesis and ketogenesis in the starved newborn rat is not responsible for the switch-on of fatty acid oxidation at birth. Moreover, ketogenesis from octanoate, a medium-chain fatty acid the oxidation of which is independent of carnitine acyltransferase, follows the same developmental pattern at birth as that from oleate.

Relationship between ketogenesis and gluconeogenesis in isolated hepatocytes from newborn rats.

Project description:In hepatocytes from 1-day-old rats, active gluconeogenesis occurs in parallel with active ketogenesis, although the carbon atoms of non-esterified fatty acids do not participate in glucose synthesis. Once a significant ketogenesis is established, a further increase does not enhance gluconeogenesis. Indeed, octanoate is more ketogenic than oleate, but stimulates gluconeogenesis to a similar extent.

Interactions between vasopressin and glucagon on ketogenesis and oleate metabolism in isolated hepatocytes from fed rats.

Project description:Vasopressin (10nM) inhibited ketogenesis (56%) in hepatocytes from fed rats when oleate (1 mM) was the substrate, but had no effect with butyrate (10mM). The hormone increased the accumulation of lactate and stimulated the esterification of [1(-14)C]oleate (70%). These effects of vasopressin were reversed by glucagon (10 nM). The physiological implications of these findings are discussed.

Regulation of ketogenesis during the suckling-weanling transition in the rat. Studies with isolated hepatocytes.

Project description:The rates of ketogenesis from endogenous substrates, butyrate or oleate, have been measured in isolated hepatocytes from suckling and weanling rats. Ketogenesis from endogenous substrate and from oleate decreased on weaning, whereas the rate from butyrate remained unchanged. It is concluded that the major site of regulation of ketogenesis during this period of development involves the disposal of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA between the esterification and beta-oxidation pathways. Modulators of lipogenesis [dihydroxyacetone and 5-(tetradecyloxy)-2-furoic acid] did not alter the rate of ketogenesis in hepatocytes from suckling rats, and it is suggested that this is due to the low rate of lipogenesis in these cells. Hepatocytes from fed weanling rats have a high rate of lipogenesis and evidence is presented for a reciprocal relationship between ketogenesis and lipogenesis, and ketogenesis, and esterification in these cells. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP stimulated ketogenesis from oleate in hepatocytes from fed weanling rats, even in the presence of an inhibitor of lipogenesis [5-(tetradecyloxy)-2-furoic acid], but not in cells from suckling rats. It is suggested that cyclic AMP may act via inhibition of esterification and that in hepatocytes from suckling rats ketogenesis is already maximally stimulated by the high basal concentrations of cyclic AMP [Beaudry, Chiasson & Exton (1977) Am. J. Physiol. 233, E175--E180].

Distinctive effects of glucagon on gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis in hepatocytes isolated from normal and biotin-deficient rats.

Project description:In hepatocytes from 48 h-starved rats identical glucagon dose-response curves were obtained for the stimulation of gluconeogenesis from lactate, for ketogenesis and for the decreasing of the C5-dicarboxylate pool. Glucagon (20 nM) caused a 5-fold increase in 3-hydroxybutyrate formation, but decreased acetoacetate production 50% of that of the control. In hepatocytes from biotin-deficient rats glucagon no longer stimulated gluconeogenesis from lactate, but still produced its effects on the mitochondrial redox state and the C5-dicarboxylate pool. The results suggest that the primary site of the hormone action on gluconeogenesis is located within the mitochondria rather than in the cytosol.

Mitochondrial development in liver of foetal and newborn rats.

Project description:THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INNER MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE IN FOETAL AND NEONATAL RAT LIVER WAS STUDIED BY FOLLOWING THREE PARAMETERS: (1) the activity of several respiratory enzymes in homogenates and purified mitochondria, (2) the spectrophotometric determination of cytochrome content in the mitochondria and (3) the cardiolipin content in both homogenates and purified mitochondria. Respiratory-enzyme activities of homogenates of foetal liver were one-quarter to one-twentieth of those of homogenates of adult liver, and the enzyme specific activities in purified mitochondria from foetal liver were one-half to one-eighth of those in mitochondria from adult liver. The cardiolipin content of liver homogenates increased approximately twofold during the development period, but there was no significant change in the cardiolipin content of purified mitochondria. It is concluded that cell mitochondrial content approximately doubles in the immediate postnatal period. There was no evidence for an increase in the relative amount of cristae protein in mitochondria during this period to account for increases in mitochondrial enzyme specific activity, since cardiolipin and cytochrome concentrations remained unchanged and electron micrographs revealed no differences. The cause of the lower respiratory-enzyme specific activity in foetal liver mitochondria is unclear. Qualitative differences in respiratory units in foetal and mature animals are suggested.

Molecular perturbations of hepatocytes isolated from nonheart-beating donor rats

Project description:Organs from nonheart-beating donors are attractive for use in cell therapy. Understanding the nature of molecular perturbations following reperfusion/reoxygenation would be highly significant for nonheart-beating donor cells. Nonheart-beating donor rats hepatocytes were studied for global gene expression with Affymetrix microarraays.

Evidence for a reciprocal relationship between lipogenesis and ketogenesis in hepatocytes from fed virgin and lactating rats.

Project description:Lipogenesis is increased in hepatocytes from fed lactating rats compared with virgin rats. Inhibition of lipogenesis with 5-(tetradecyloxy)-2-furoic acid resulted in increased ketogenesis from endogenous substrate, but not from oleate. Dihydroxyacetone increased ketogenesis from endogenous substrate, but not from oleate. Dihydroxyacetone increased lipogenesis and esterification of [1--14C]oleate and decreased ketogenesis; these changes were reversed by the inhibitor. The reciprocal relationship between lipogenesis and ketogenesis in hepatocytes from fed rats may be due to alterations in [malonyl-CoA] [McGarry, Mannaerts & Foster (1977) J. Clin. Invest. 60, 265--270; Cook, King & Veech (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 2529--2531], but this mechanism is not considered to be sufficient to explain the increased ketogenesis in starvation completely.

Inhaled ethyl nitrite prevents hyperoxia-impaired postnatal alveolar development in newborn rats.

Project description:RationaleInhaled nitric oxide (NO) has been used to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia, but with variable results. Ethyl nitrite (ENO) forms S-nitrosothiols more readily than does NO, and resists higher-order nitrogen oxide formation. Because S-nitrosylation is a key pathway mediating many NO biological effects, treatment with inhaled ENO may better protect postnatal lung development from oxidative stress than NO.ObjectivesTo compare inhaled NO and ENO on hyperoxia-impaired postnatal lung development.MethodsWe treated newborn rats beginning at birth to air or 95% O(2) +/- 0.2-20.0 ppm ENO for 8 days, or to 10 ppm NO for 8 days. Pups treated with the optimum ENO dose, 10 ppm, and pups treated with 10 ppm NO were recovered in room air for 6 more days.Measurements and main resultsENO and NO partly prevented 95% O(2)-induced airway neutrophil influx in lavage, but ENO had a greater effect than did NO in prevention of lung myeloperoxidase accumulation, and in expression of cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1. Treatment with 10 ppm ENO, but not NO, for 8 days followed by recovery in air for 6 days prevented 95% O(2)-induced impairments of body weight, lung compliance, and alveolar development.ConclusionsInhaled ENO conferred protection superior to inhaled NO against hyperoxia-induced inflammation. ENO prevented hyperoxia impairments of lung compliance and postnatal alveolar development in newborn rats.

Flux control exerted by mitochondrial outer membrane carnitine palmitoyltransferase over beta-oxidation, ketogenesis and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity in hepatocytes isolated from rats in different metabolic states.

Project description:The Flux Control Coefficients of mitochondrial outer membrane carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT I) with respect to the overall rates of beta-oxidation, ketogenesis and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity were measured in hepatocytes isolated from rats in different metabolic states (fed, 24 h-starved, starved-refed and starved/insulin-treated). These conditions were chosen because there is controversy as to whether, when significant control ceases to be exerted by CPT I over the rate of fatty oxidation [Moir and Zammit (1994) Trends Biochem. Sci. 19, 313-317], this is transferred to one or more steps proximal to acylcarnitine synthesis (e.g. decreased delivery of fatty acids to the liver) or to the reaction catalysed by mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA synthase [Hegardt (1995) Biochem. Soc. Trans. 23, 486-490]. Therefore isolated hepatocytes were used in the present study to exclude the involvement of changes in the rate of delivery of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) to the liver, such as occur in vivo, and to ascertain whether, under conditions of constant supply of NEFA, CPT I retains control over the relevant fluxes of fatty acid oxidation to ketones and carbon dioxide, or whether control is transferred to another (intrahepatocytic) site. The results clearly show that the Flux Control Coefficients of CPT I with respect to overall beta-oxidation and ketogenesis are very high under all conditions investigated, indicating that control is not lost to another intrahepatic site during the metabolic transitions studied. The control of CPT I over tricarboxylic acid cycle activity was always very low. The significance of these findings for the integration of fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism in the liver is discussed.

Inhibition of glycerol metabolism in hepatocytes isolated from endotoxic rats.

Project description:Sepsis or endotoxaemia inhibits gluconeogenesis from various substrates, the main effect being related to a change in the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase transcription rate. In addition, sepsis has been reported to affect the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. We have studied glycerol metabolism in hepatocytes isolated from rats fasted and injected 16 h previously with lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia coli. Endotoxin inhibited glycerol metabolism and led to a very large accumulation of glycerol 3-phosphate; the cytosolic reducing state was increased. Furthermore glycerol kinase activity was increased by 33% (P<<0.01). The respiratory rate of intact cells was significantly decreased by sepsis, with glycerol or octanoate as exogenous substrates, whereas oxidative phosphorylation (ATP-to-O ratio or respirations in state 4, state 3 and the oligomycin-insensitive state as well as the uncoupled state) was unchanged in permeabilized hepatocytes. Hence the effect on energy metabolism seems to be present only in intact hepatocytes. An additional important feature was the observation of a significant increase in cellular volume in cells from endotoxic animals, which might account for the alterations induced by sepsis.
