Nagase analbuminemic rats (NARs) have a 7-base-pair deletion at the 5' splice site of the HI intron of the albumin gene. The level of immunohistochemically albumin-positive hepatocytes is about 1 per 10(5) cells in neonatal NARs, increases with age, and further increases with chronic oral treatment with 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (3'-MeDAB). The mechanisms involved in the increase in albumin-positive hepatocytes during aging of NARs and their treatment with 3'-MeDAB were analyzed. NARs were found to have four species of albumin mRNA: intact mRNA and those lacking the regions corresponding to exon H, exon G-H, and exon H-I. In 4-week-old NARs, the level of intact albumin mRNA was about 1/4000 of that in normal rats and mRNA lacking the exon H sequence was the major species. In aged and 3'-MeDAB-treated aged NARs, all four species of mRNA increased and the relative proportion of mRNAs lacking two exon sequences to mRNAs lacking one exon sequence was greatly increased, suggesting that aging is associated with changes of the splicing pattern and that 3'-MeDAB treatment enhanced these changes. In aged NARs and 3'-MeDAB-treated aged NARs, there was an increase in the amount of aberrant 60-kDa albumin. The 60-kDa protein could be a translation product of mRNAs lacking two exons, the amount of which increases in aged NARs and 3'-MeDAB-treated NARs.
