pubmed:abstractText
A hybridocytochemical analysis of adult liver from normal control and from hormonally and dietary-treated rats was carried out, using radioactively-labelled probes for the mRNAs of glutamine synthetase (GS), carbamoylphosphate synthetase (CPS) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK). In line with previous findings, GS mRNA is exclusively expressed in a small pericentral compartment, CPS mRNA exclusively in a contiguous large periportal compartment and PEPCK mRNA across the entire porto-central distance. The density of labelling in CPS and PEPCK mRNA-positive hepatocytes decreases in a porto-central direction. Starvation resulted in a reversal of the gradient of CPS mRNA within its periportal compartment; glucose refeeding counteracted this effect. Livers of glucocorticosteroid-treated, starved or diabetic rats also revealed a reversal of the normal gradient of CPS mRNA, but now across the entire porto-central distance. The patterns of expression of GS and PEPCK mRNA remained essentially unchanged, notwithstanding substantial changes in the levels of expression. It is concluded that blood-borne factors constitute the major determinants for the expression patterns of CPS mRNA within the context of the architecture of the liver lobulus.
