Sterol regulatory element-binding
protein-1c (SREBP-1c) plays a major role in hepatic lipogenic gene
expression. In adult animals, insulin and oxysterols induce SREBP-1c
gene transcription, whereas polyunsaturated fatty acids suppress the
nuclear content of SREBP-1c through pre-translational regulatory
mechanisms. A decline in nuclear SREBP-1 is associated with suppression
of hepatic lipogenesis. In contrast to adult rats, hepatic lipogenesis
in preweaned neonatal rats is low. Ingestion of milk fat by the neonate may contribute to low hepatic lipogenesis. In this report, we tested
the hypothesis that low lipogenic gene expression prior to weaning
correlates with low mRNASREBP-1c, as well as low
precursor and nuclear forms of SREBP-1. In contrast to expectations,
levels of mRNASREBP-1c and the 125-kDa SREBP-1
precursor in livers of preweaned rats was comparable with adult levels.
Despite high levels of SREBP-1 precursor, mature (65 kDa) SREBP-1 was
not detected in rat liver nuclei prior to 18 days postpartum. Weaning
rats at 21 days postpartum was accompanied by a rise in nuclear SREBP-1 levels as well as increased lipogenic gene expression. In contrast, SREBP-2 was present in rat liver nuclei, and its target gene, HMG-CoA reductase, was expressed above adult levels
prior to weaning. These studies indicate that, prior to weaning,
SREBP-2 but not SREBP-1 is proteolytically processed to the mature
form. As such, SREBP-2-regulated genes are active. Failure of SREBP-1
to be processed to the mature form <18 days postpartum correlates with
low hepatic lipogenic gene expression. This mechanism differs from the
hormonal and fatty acid-mediated pre-translational control of SREBP-1c in adult liver.
