The clearance of total rat liver secretory glycoproteins and of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein carrying no or different types of oligosaccharide side chains was studied in vivo and in the isolated perfused rat liver. In order to obtain unglycosylated or differently glycosylated forms of secreted glycoproteins, rat hepatocyte primary cultures were incubated with various inhibitors of N-glycosylation. Tunicamycin was used for the synthesis of unglycosylated (glyco)proteins, the mannosidase I inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin for the synthesis of high-mannose type and the mannosidase II inhibitor swainsonine for the synthesis of hybrid-type glycoproteins. Glycoproteins carrying carbohydrate side chains of the complex type were synthesized by control hepatocytes. In vivo and in the perfused rat liver, high-mannose-type glycoproteins were cleared at the highest rate, followed by unglycosylated and hybrid-type glycoproteins. The lowest clearance rate was found for the glycoproteins with carbohydrate side chains of the complex type. For the highly glycosylated alpha 1-acid glycoprotein the differences in clearance rates were more pronounced. The following plasma half-lives were determined in vivo: complex type, 100 min; hybrid type, 15 min; unglycosylated form, 5 min; and high-mannose type less than 1 min. In the recirculating perfused liver 28% of complex-type alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, 40% of hybrid type, 47% of unglycosylated and 93% of high-mannose-type alpha 1-acid glycoprotein were removed from the perfusate within 2 h. It is concluded that N-glycosylation and processing to complex-type oligosaccharides seems to be of great importance for the circulatory life time of plasma glycoproteins.
