摘要

We examined whether regulation of glutamine: fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFA), the rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine pathway, is tissue specific and if so whether such regulation occurs at the level of gene expression. We compared GFA activity and expression and levels of UDP-hexosamines and UDP-hexoses between insulin-sensitive (liver and muscle) tissues and a glucose-sensitive (placenta) tissue from 19 day pregnant streptozotocin diabetic and non-diabetic rats. In pregnant non-diabetic rats GFA activities averaged (1521+/-75 pmol/mg protein x min) in the placenta, 895+/-74 in the liver and 81+/-11 in muscle (p<0.001 between each tissue). In the diabetic rats, GFA activities were approximately 50% decreased both in the liver (340+/-42 pmol/mg protein x min, p<0.05 vs control rats) and in skeletal muscle (46+/-3, p<0.05) compared to control rats. In the placenta, GFA activities were identical between diabetic (1519+/-112 pmol/mg protein x min) and non-diabetic (1521+/-75) animals. In the liver, the reduction in GFA activity could be attributed to a significant decrease in GFA mRNA concentrations, while GFA mRNA concentrations were similar in the placenta between diabetic and non-diabetic animals. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), the end product of the hexosamine pathway, was significantly reduced in the liver and in skeletal muscle but similar in the placenta between diabetic and non-diabetic rats. In summary, GFA activity and expression and the concentration of UDP-GlcNAc are decreased in the liver but unaltered in the placenta, although GFA activity is almost 2-fold higher in this tissue than in the liver. These data provide the first evidence for tissue specific regulation of GFA and for its regulation at the level of gene expression.
