Hormonal regulation of the hepatic messenger RNA levels for alpha2u globulin
A E Sippel et al. Biochemistry. 1975.
Abstract
The messenger RNA rat alpha2u globulin has been identified and quantitated in a cell-free translational system derived from Krebs II ascites cells. Hepatic tissue of the mature male rats which normally produce alpha2u globulin was also found to contain a high level of alpha2u mRNA. Approximately 1.6 per cent of all poly(A) containing RNA of the adult male rat liver could be accounted for alpha2u messenger activity. Female rats do not produce alpha2u globulin and no alpha2u mRNA activity could be detected in the poly(A) containing RNA fraction obtained from the livers of these animals. However, androgen treatment to spayed female rats was found to induce the parallel appearance to both alpha2u globulin and its corresponding mRNA. Both hypophysectomy and adrenalectomy which are known to reduce the level of alpha2u globulin in the urine of male rats were found also to reduce the hepatic level of alpha2u mRNA. The results indicate that hormonal control of alpha2u globulin synthesis in rat liver is achieved primarily through regulation of its translatable mRNA level and that more than one hormone may participate in this regulation.
