Activated protein kinase C binds to intracellular receptors in rat hepatocytes.
The aim of this study was to identify in rat hepatocytes cellular polypeptides that bind protein kinase C (PKC) and may influence its activity and its compartmentation. At least seven proteins, with apparent M(r) values between 12,000 and 36,000, that behave like Receptors for Activated C-Kinase (RACKs) were found in the Triton-X-100-insoluble fraction of these cells; i.e. PKC bound to these po...
متن کاملEvidence that protein kinase C is involved in delta-aminolevulinate synthase expression in rat hepatocytes.
There are many factors that regulate the rate of synthesis of delta-aminolevulinate synthase (ALA-S), the enzyme which governs the rate-limiting step in heme biosynthesis. In rat hepatocytes, phenobarbital increases ALA-S gene transcription and dibutyryl cAMP potentiates this induction, whereas insulin and glucose have the opposite effect. The present report provides evidence that protein kinas...
متن کاملProtein kinase C phosphorylates AMP-activated protein kinase α1 Ser487
The key metabolic regulator, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), is reported to be down-regulated in metabolic disorders, but the mechanisms are poorly characterised. Recent studies have identified phosphorylation of the AMPKα1/α2 catalytic subunit isoforms at Ser487/491, respectively, as an inhibitory regulation mechanism. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulates AMPK and protein ...
متن کاملBerberine Regulated Gck, G6pc, Pck1 and Srebp-1c Expression and Activated AMP-activated Protein Kinase in Primary Rat Hepatocytes
The effects of hormonal and dietary stimuli on hepatic glucose and lipid homeostasis include regulation of gene expression. Berberine, an effective compound in certain Chinese medicinal herbs, has been reported to lower plasma glucose and lipid levels in diabetic and hypercholesterolemic patients. We hypothesized that it may affect the expression of hepatic genes involved in glucose and lipid m...
متن کاملIranian crack induces hepatic injury through mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in the liver of Wistar rat
Objective(s): Iranian crack (IC) is a heroin-based substance manifesting various pathologic side effects. Herein, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of IC-induced liver injuries in Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: control, and IC (0.9 mg/kg/day/IP, for 30 days). Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was measur...
