The effect of growth (GH) and thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine, T3) on the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR alpha) was examined using Northern blotting in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. Exposure of the hepatocytes to GH at the concentrations of 5-500 ng/ml for 1 day decreased the steady state level of PPAR mRNA by 20-30% compared with the control. The decrease in the mRNA level reached about 50% after a 5-day exposure to 50 or 500 ng/ml GH. However, the PPAR mRNA level was increased by 30-50% in hepatocytes exposed to T3 at 30 or 300 nM. These findings suggest the suppression of PPAR expression as a possible mechanism for the GH-mediated suppression of the induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation caused by peroxisome proliferators (PPs), whereas T3 may act in the other way to exert its suppressive effect on the PP induction of peroxisomal enzymes.
利用Northern印迹法,在大鼠原代肝细胞培养物中研究了生长激素(GH)和甲状腺激素(三碘甲状腺原氨酸,T3)对过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPARα)表达的影响。将肝细胞暴露于浓度为5 - 500 ng/ml的GH中1天,与对照组相比,PPAR mRNA的稳态水平降低了20 - 30%。在暴露于50或500 ng/ml GH 5天后,mRNA水平的降低达到约50%。然而,在暴露于30或300 nM T3的肝细胞中,PPAR mRNA水平增加了30 - 50%。这些发现表明,PPAR表达的抑制可能是GH介导的对过氧化物酶体增殖物(PPs)引起的过氧化物酶体β-氧化诱导抑制的一种机制,而T3可能以另一种方式发挥作用,对PP诱导的过氧化物酶体酶产生抑制作用。
