Hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is significantly increased in the hyperthyroid starved rat, and moderately decreased in the hypothyroid starved rat. As tri-iodothyronine by itself has only a small and sustained effect on the induction of this enzyme, as was previously shown in the isolated perfused organ, the effect of hypo- and hyper-thyroidism on the increase in cytosolic PEPCK provoked by dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP) was investigated in vivo and in the isolated perfused liver. Compared with euthyroid fed controls, in hypothyroid fed rats Bt2cAMP provoked in 2 h only a small increase in translatable mRNA coding for PEPCK. In contrast, in hyperthyroid animals PEPCK mRNA as measured by translation in vitro was already increased in the fed state, and further enhanced by Bt2cAMP injection to values as in euthyroid controls. Under all thyroid states a close correlation between PEPCK mRNA activity and PEPCK synthesis was observed. In the isolated perfused liver from the hyperthyroid fed rat, the increase in PEPCK provoked by Bt2cAMP or Bt2cAMP + isobutylmethylxanthine was considerably enhanced compared with those obtained in livers of hypothyroid rats. Also, adrenaline provoked a stimulated induction of PEPCK in hyperthyroid rats compared with hypothyroid rats. To summarize, our data indicate that the primary action of thyroid hormones on the synthesis of hepatic cytosolic PEPCK is to accelerate the cyclic AMP- or adrenaline-induction of the enzyme, acting primarily at a pretranslational level.
