Histone phosphokinase activity in nuclear and cytoplasmic cell fractions from normal and regenerating rat livers.

ABSTRACT: 1. Liver cell fractions were prepared by non-aqueous procedures and nuclei were also obtained in a hyperosmotic sucrose medium. Histone phosphokinase activity, assayed with histone F1 as substrate, was present in the soluble fraction of the cytoplasm and also bound on to the chromatin fraction of the nucleus. 2. The activity of the enzyme increased sixfold in nuclei from regenerating livers 22h after partial hepatectomy. 3. The enzyme bound in the nucleus was only marginally activated by 1mum-3':5'-cyclic AMP which stimulated the cytoplasmic soluble enzyme fourfold. 4. Nuclei prepared by the non-aqueous technique were also able to phosphorylate histones F2a and F3 and showed histone phosphatase activity with histone F1 phosphate as substrate.

Uptake of orotate and thymidine by normal and regenerating rat livers.

Project description:1. At 1h after operation livers from partially hepatectomized rats showed a 60-100% increase in the capacity to concentrate (3)H radioactivity from orotate, thymidine or uridine with respect to the radioactivity in plasma. Uptake of [(3)H]cytidine into liver was unaffected, as was entry of any precursor studied into any tissue other than liver. 2. This increase in intracellular radioactivity was detectable 10min after operation with both orotate and thymidine. With orotate the augmentation had disappeared by 3 days, but with thymidine it was still evident 8 days after partial hepatectomy, when [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into DNA was no longer increased. Competition studies established that orotate was not entering the liver by the same mechanism as thymidine. 3. In the soluble fraction of the liver all the (3)H radioactivity from orotate was present as uridine nucleotides. Thymidine was not phosphorylated, and was believed to be catabolized.

The conversion of orotic acid into uridine 5'-monophosphate by isolated perfused normal and regenerating rat livers.

Project description:The release of (14)CO(2) from [7-(14)C]orotic acid was measured in isolated perfused normal and regenerating rat livers. With some limitations, the release of (14)CO(2) from [7-(14)C]orotic acid can be used to estimate UMP synthesis in perfused livers. Isolated perfused livers rapidly pick up labelled orotic acid added to perfusate and convert most of it into UMP. Perfused regenerating livers produce approx. 2.5 times as much UMP/g of liver as do perfused normal livers. However, the absolute amount of orotic acid converted into UMP is higher in perfused normal livers than in perfused regenerating livers. Perfused regenerating livers do not differ in their orotic acid uptake and UMP synthesis from livers of comparable size in which regeneration is not taking place. The total amount of orotic acid taken up by the liver (rather than the rate of uptake) and the size of the liver appear to be the determining factors in UMP production. The results suggest that the decrease in liver size caused by partial hepatectomy may be in itself sufficient to account for an increase in the flow of metabolites in the pyrimidine pathway at the early stages of liver regeneration.

Nuclear protein kinase activity in glucagon-stimulated perfused rat livers.

Project description:Nuclei isolated from glucagon-stimulated perfused rat livers contained 2-3 times as much protein kinase activity as did nuclei from control animals. In the presence of either the heat-stable inhibitor or the protein kinase regulatory subunit the elevated cyclic AMP-independent enzyme activity from stimulated nuclei was inhibited to an activity equivalent to that found in controls.

Expression of P450 and nuclear receptors in normal and end-stage Chinese livers.

Project description:AimTo investigate the expression of P450 enzyme genes by using end-stage liver disease samples and trimmed normal Chinese donor livers.MethodsThe end-stage liver disease samples [n = 93, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), peri-HCC tissue, hepatitis B virus cirrhosis, alcoholic cirrhosis, and severe cirrhosis] and trimmed normal Chinese donor livers (n = 35) from The Institute of Organ Transplantation in Beijing, China. Total RNA was extracted, purified, and subjected to real-time RT-PCR analysis.ResultsFor cytochrome P450 enzymes 1 (CYP1) family, the expression of CYP1A2 was decreased 90% in HCC, 80% in alcoholic cirrhosis, and 65% in severe cirrhosis. For CYP2 family, the expression of CAR was decreased 50% in HCC, but increased 50% in peri-HCC tissues. Similar decreases (about 50%) of CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP2E1 were observed in HCC, as compared to peri-HCC tissues and normal livers. CYP2C19 were decreased in all end-stage liver diseases and CYP2E1 also decreased in alcoholic cirrhosis and severe cirrhosis. For CYP3 family, the expression of PXR was decreased 60% in HCC, together with decreases in CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7. In contrast, the expression of CYP3A7 was slightly increased in HBV cirrhosis. The expression of CYP4A11 was decreased 85% in HCC, 7% in alcoholic cirrhosis and severe liver cirrhosis, along with decreases in PPARα. The 93 end-stage livers had much higher inter-individual variations in gene expression than 35 normal livers.ConclusionThe expression of CYP enzyme genes and corresponding nuclear receptors was generally decreased in end-stage liver diseases, and significant differences in gene expression were evident between peri-HCC and HCC.

Nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of class IIa histone deacetylases regulates somatic cell reprogramming.

Project description:Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a subfamily of HDACs with important functions in development and adult tissue homeostasis. As opposed to other HDACs, they lack catalytic function and bind transcription factors to recruit transcriptional co-regulators, mostly co-repressors such as nuclear receptor co-repressor (NCoR)/silencing mediator of retinoid and thyroid hormone receptor (SMRT). Class IIa HDACs enhance mouse somatic cell reprogramming to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by repressing the function of the pro-mesenchymal transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2), which is upregulated during this process. Here, we describe, using HDAC4 and 7 as examples, that class IIa HDACs exhibit nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking in reprogramming, being mostly cytoplasmic in donor fibroblasts and intermediate cells but translocating to the nucleus in iPSCs. Importantly, over-expressing a mutant form of HDAC4 or 7 that becomes trapped in the nucleus enhances the early phase of reprogramming but is deleterious afterwards. The latter effect is mediated through binding to the exogenous reprogramming factors at pluripotency loci, and the subsequent recruitment of NCoR/SMRT co-repressors. Thus, our findings uncover a context-dependent function of class IIa HDACs in reprogramming and further reinforce the idea that recruitment of co-repressors by the exogenous factors is a major obstacle for reactivating the pluripotency network in this process.

Extracellular vesicles containing miR-146a-5p secreted by bone marrow mesenchymal cells activate hepatocytic progenitors in regenerating rat livers.

Project description:BackgroundSmall hepatocyte-like progenitor cells (SHPCs) appear to form transient clusters in rat livers treated with retrorsine (Ret) and 70% partial hepatectomy (PH). We previously reported that the expansion of SHPCs was amplified in Ret/PH-treated rat livers transplanted with Thy1+ cells derived from D-galactosamine-treated injured livers. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by hepatic Thy1+ donor cells activated SHPCs via interleukin (IL)-17 receptor B signaling. As bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells (BM-MCs) also express Thy1, we aimed to determine whether BM-MCs could also promote the growth of SHPCs.MethodsBM-MCs were isolated from dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPPIV)-positive rats. BM-MCs or BM-MC-derived EVs were administered to DPPIV-negative Ret/PH rat livers, and the growth and the characteristics of SHPC clusters were evaluated 14 days post-treatment. miRNA microarrays and cytokine arrays examined soluble factors within EVs. Small hepatocytes (SHs) isolated from an adult rat liver were used to identify factors enhancing hepatocytic progenitor cells growth.ResultsThe recipient's livers were enlarged at 2 weeks post-BM-MC transplantation. The number and the size of SHPCs increased remarkably in livers transplanted with BM-MCs. BM-MC-derived EVs also stimulated SHPC growth. Comprehensive analyses revealed that BM-MC-derived EVs contained miR-146a-5p, interleukin-6, and stem cell factor, which could enhance SHs' proliferation. Administration of EVs derived from the miR-146a-5p-transfected BM-MCs to Ret/PH rat livers remarkably enhanced the expansion of SHPCs.ConclusionsmiR-146a-5p involved in EVs produced by BM-MCs may play a major role in accelerating liver regeneration by activating the intrinsic hepatocytic progenitor cells.

Nucleosomes from normal and regenerating rat liver.

Project description:Micrococcal-nuclease digestion of rat liver nuclei selectively released mononucleosomes associated with ADP-ribosylated [Caplan, Ord & Stocken (1978) Biochem. J.174, 475-483] histone H1. Two classes of mononucleosome were detected, those that leaked out during digestion and those that were subsequently released by 5mm-sodium phosphate buffer (pH6.8)/0.2mm-NaEDTA. The former, from which histone H1 had been dissociated, contained 140-base-pair-length DNA and core histones;the latter contained core particles and mononucleosomes with histone H1 and 200-base-pair-length DNA. When normal liver nuclei were phosphorylated with [gamma-(32)P]ATP, dissociated histone H1, which could be separated from core particles with Sephadex G-200, showed (32)P uptake. (32)P uptake into histones H2A and poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated H3 was appreciable in core particles, but was less evident in nucleosomes still containing histone H1. When [(3)H]-thymidine was given to partially hepatectomized rats in S-phase, 5-10min pulses in animals of over 300g body wt. showed the presence of high-specific-radioactivity DNA in released core particles and mononucleosomes compared with DNA retained in the nuclear pellets. Mononucleosomes from rat livers in S-phase with new, [(3)H]lysine-containing histones, had higher (32)P incorporation in histones H1 and their core histones, than for di- or tri-nucleosomes. Thermal-denaturation properties of control and phosphorylated mononucleosomes and core particles were very similar; removal of histone H1 and non-histone chromosomal proteins in 0.5m-NaCl markedly increased the proportion of DNA ;melting' below 70 degrees C.
