Early Regeneration

Deoxycytidylate deaminase activity and net synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in vivo were found to increase at approximately the same time during the early stages of liver regeneration. However, deaminase activity in the regenerating liver remained at a high level for 1 day after DNA synthesis had slowed down again during the later stages of regeneration. The increase in deaminase activity was restricted as a result of exposure to 600 r X radiation during early regeneration, but this effect only became evident 11–16 hours after the irradiation. Irradiation on the second day after partial hepatectomy, when deaminase levels in control regenerating livers were relatively constant, failed to affect the deaminase activity immediately but did produce a 40–50% decrease in activity 11–16 hours later. Other antimitotic agents, e.g., colchicine, had little effect on deaminase activity.

Regenerating Rat Liver

Guanylate cyclase C (GC-C) is a transmembrane protein that serves as a receptor for the recently characterized endogenous ligand guanylin and for Escherichia coli heat-stable toxin (STa). Binding of either guanylin or STa to intestinal GC-C results in net chloride secretion. Although GC-C is expressed in the rat intestine throughout life, its expression in the rat liver has previously been shown to occur only during the perinatal period. As a step toward elucidating the role of this receptor in the liver, we tested the hypothesis that GC-C mRNA expression could be induced in the adult rat liver following 1) partial hepatectomy, a stimulus for hepatocyte proliferation; 2) intraperitoneal carbon tetrachloride injection, a model of hepatocyte regeneration in the presence of inflammatory changes; and 3) subcutaneous turpentine injection, which generates an acute phase response without hepatocyte proliferation. We demonstrated expression of GC-C mRNA in the regenerating rat liver following either partial hepatectomy or CCl4-induced hepatic necrosis. We have also shown that GC-C mRNA expression occurred in association with an acute phase reaction. Coordinate with the expression of GC-C mRNA, there was upregulation of radiolabeled STa binding to liver plasma membranes prepared from turpentine-treated rats. Maximal expression of GC-C occurred in preparations enriched for the canalicular domain. Although the function of GC-C in the liver is unknown, localization to the canalicular domain would be consistent with a role for GC-C in hepatic chloride secretion, especially in the perinatal liver and during hepatocyte regeneration.

Saturation Kinetics

1. When [3H]thymidine was injected intravenously into rats in amounts up to 40mg/kg body wt. and the3H radioactivity in the livers measured at 30min, saturation kinetics for thymidine uptake were not found. If the animals were examined 3 min after intravenous injection, saturation could be attained in normal rats with 12mg of thymidine/kg and in partially hepatectomized rats with 4mg/kg. At concentrations of thymidine close to saturation, no differences were found in rate or amount of uptake/g of liver between normal and partially hepatectomized rats 1–2h after operation. 2. Perfusion techniques were used to compare thymidine uptakes in the two sets of rats at concentrations up to 40μm-thymidine. Uptakes with tracer amounts of thymidine after 30min were identical in vivo and in the perfusion studies and were twice as great in livers from partially hepatectomized rats with concentrations up to 40μm-thymidine. 3. At 1.5h after operation there was nearly twice as much β-aminoisobutyrate present per g of liver from partially hepatectomized as compared with normal rats.

Repeated injections of 1,3-diaminopropane into rats after partial hepatectomy caused a repression-type inhibiton of liver ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17) and totally prevented the marked increases in liver putrescine and spermidine concentrations that normally occur in response to partial hepatectomy. The inhibition of polyamine synthesis by diaminopropane was accompanied by a profound decrease (about 80%) in the synthesis of DNA in the regenerating rat liver without any changes in the synthesis of RNA and total liver protein.
