The levels of several RNA transcripts in cultured hepatocytes are regulated by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms and are affected by growth hormone and insulin. We assessed the effects of these hormones on transcription rates and the stability of insulin-like growth factor I, actin, and albumin transcripts in intact cells of primary cultures of rat hepatocytes by analyzing thiol-labeled, newly synthesized RNA isolated by mercurated agarose affinity chromatography. The application of this concept to the measurement of transcript stability is presented in detail. The data indicate that growth hormone stimulates the transcription rates of insulin-like growth factor I, actin, and albumin genes. The stability of all three transcripts, particularly albumin, appears to be lower in growth hormone-containing medium than it is in insulin-containing medium. The experiments indicate that the rates of transcription and/or degradation of albumin mRNA are influenced by hormonal treatment. However, the cells maintain roughly constant albumin transcript levels independent of hormone treatment by compensatory changes in the rates of transcription and degradation.
