To study the regulation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I by thyroid hormone, a cDNA was obtained by PCR amplification of DNA obtained by reverse transcription of rat liver RNA. CPT-I mRNA abundance was measured in livers of hyperthyroid, euthyroid and hypothyroid rats. In hypothyroid rats, the CPT-I mRNA levels decreased 40-fold relative to that of the hyperthyroid animals. These changes paralleled alterations in enzyme activity. These data suggest that CPT-I is regulated at the transcriptional level by thyroid hormone.
为研究甲状腺激素对肉碱棕榈酰转移酶-I(CPT-I)的调节作用,通过对大鼠肝脏RNA反转录得到的DNA进行PCR扩增获得了一条cDNA。测定了甲状腺功能亢进、甲状腺功能正常和甲状腺功能减退大鼠肝脏中CPT-I mRNA的丰度。在甲状腺功能减退的大鼠中,CPT-I mRNA水平相对于甲状腺功能亢进的动物降低了40倍。这些变化与酶活性的改变平行。这些数据表明CPT-I在转录水平受甲状腺激素调节。
