    Abstract:
    Regulation of synthesis of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I by glucocorticoids, 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (8-bromo-cAMP), and insulin was investigated in Reuber hepatoma H-35. By measuring the incorporation of [35S]methionine into carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I and its precursor, we showed that dexamethasone stimulates the enzyme synthesis approximately fivefold. A detectable stimulation was observed at 1 nM of dexamethasone, half-maximal stimulation at 4 nM, and maximal stimulation above 40 nM. Corticosterone was more effective than dexamethasone both for the minimal concentration needed and for the extent of the stimulation. Hydrocortisone was less effective than dexamethasone. 8-Bromo-cAMP also stimulated the enzyme synthesis at a concentration of 3 mM. The effect of 8-bromo-cAMP was suggested to be additive to the effect of dexamethasone. Physiological concentrations of insulin strongly suppressed the stimulatory effect of dexamethasone on the enzyme synthesis but could not completely counteract the effect of dexamethasone. The half-maximal and maximal effects of insulin were observed at 0.5 nM and 5 nM, respectively. Insulin also counteracted the effect of 8-bromo-cAMP on the enzyme synthesis.
