Hormonal control of cyclic 3':5'-AMP levels and gluconeogenesis in isolated hepatocytes from fed rats

S. J. Pilkis, T. H. Claus, R. A. Johnson and C. R. Park

Glucagon can stimulate gluconeogenesis from 2 mM lactate nearly 4-fold in isolated liver cells from fed rats; exogenous cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) is equally effective, but epinephrine can stimulate only 1.5-fold. Half-maximal effects are obtained with glucagon at 0.3 nM, cyclic AMP at 30 muM and epinephrine at 0.2 muM. Insulin reduces by 50% the stimulation by suboptimal concentrations of glucagon (0.5 nM). A half-maximal effect is obtained with 0.3 nM insulin (45 microunits/ml). Glucagon in the presence of theophylline (1 mM) causes a rapid rise and subsequent fall in intracellular cyclic AMP with a peak between 3 and 6 min. Some of the fall can be accounted for by loss of nucleotide into the medium. This efflux is suppressed by probenecid, suggesting the presence of a membrane transport mechanism for the cyclic nucleotide. Glucagon can raise intracellular cyclic AMP about 30-fold; a half-maximal effect is obtained with 1.5 nM hormone. Epinephrine (plus theophylline, 1 mM) can raise intracellular cyclic AMP about 2-fold; the peak elevation is reached in less than 1 min and declines during the next 15 min to near the basal level. Insulin (10 nM) does not lower the basal level of cyclic AMP within the hepatocyte, but suppresses by about 50% the rise in intracellular and total cyclic AMP caused by exposure to an intermediate concentration of glucagon. No inhibition of adenylate cyclase by insulin can be shown. Basal gluconeogenesis is not significantly depressed by calcium deficiency but stimulation by glucagon is reduced by 50%. Calcium deficiency does not reduce accumulation of cyclic AMP in response to glucagon but diminishes stimulation of gluconeogenesis by exogenous cyclic AMP. Glucagon has a rapid stimulatory effect on the flux of 45Ca2+ from medium to tissue.
