Thyroid hormone regulates transcription of the gene for cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) in rat liver.
Using an in vitro assay with isolated rat nuclei, we have determined that thyroid hormone causes a 4-6-fold increase in the synthesis of mRNA coding for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Proportional changes were seen in the steady-state cytosolic mRNA levels for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Dibutyryladenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate, which stimulates transcription of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene in normal rats, remained effective in hypo- or hyperthyroid animals. The effect of epinephrine on transcription of the gene for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase appears to be modulated by thyroid hormone.
