title: Induction and turnover of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase in HL-60 leukemia cells by calcitriol.
abstract: Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase mRNA and enzyme activity in HL-60 cells were rapidly and markedly induced by calcitriol (formerly known as 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3). The activity reached 70-80 times the basal level after 96 h. The enzyme activity in the cells incubated for 96 h with calcitriol decreased immediately after its withdrawal but after a 24-h incubation the activity in the cells continued to increase slightly and then decreased slowly. Calcitriol increased the enzyme activity dose-dependently with maximal stimulation at 10 nM and half-maximal at 2.1 nM. The rate of synthesis of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase almost paralleled the increase in mRNA level during treatment with calcitriol. When calcitriol was removed from media after incubation for either 24 h or 96 h, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase mRNA and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase synthesis decreased rapidly to the basal level. The enzyme was only slightly degraded in the cells incubated with calcitriol for 24 h followed by the subsequent culture without calcitriol but it was degraded with a half-life estimated to be approximately 64 h in the same cells followed by culturing with calcitriol. In the cells incubated for 96 h, the same degradation rate (i.e. half-life approximately 64 h) was observed irrespective of the following culture with or without calcitriol. Calcitriol did not affect the degradation rate of total soluble proteins.
