In native rat liver microsomes glucose 6-phosphatase activity is dependent not only on the activity of the glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme (which is lumenal) but also on the transport of glucose-6-phosphate, phosphate and glucose through the respective translocases T1, T2 and T3. By using enzymic assay techniques, palmitoyl-CoA or CoA was found to inhibit glucose-6-phosphatase activity in intact microsomes. The effect of CoA required ATP and fatty acids to form fatty acyl esters. Increasing concentrations (2-50 microM) of CoA (plus ATP and 20 microM added palmitic acid) or of palmitoyl-CoA progressively decreased glucose-6-phosphatase activity to 50% of the control value. The inhibition lowered the Vmax without significantly changing the Km. A non-hydrolysable analogue of palmitoyl-CoA also inhibited, demonstrating that binding of palmitoyl-CoA rather than hydrolysis produces the inhibition. Light-scattering measurements of osmotically induced changes in the size of rat liver microsomal vesicles pre-equilibrated in a low-osmolality buffer demonstrated that palmitoyl-CoA alone or CoA plus ATP and palmitic acid altered the microsomal permeability to glucose 6-phosphate, but not to glucose or phosphate, indicating that T1 is the site of palmitoyl-CoA binding and inhibition of glucose-6-phosphatase activity in native microsomes. The type of inhibition found suggests that liver microsomes may comprise vesicles heterogeneous with respect to glucose-6-phosphate translocase(s), i.e. sensitive or insensitive to fatty acid ester inhibition.

We have shown that a microbial cholic acid catabolite (4R)-4-(2,3,4,6,6a beta,7,8,9,9a alpha,9b beta-decahydro-6a beta-methyl-3-oxo- 1H-cyclopenta[f]quinolin-7 beta-yl)valeric acid (DCQVA), is a potent peroxisome proliferator. In this paper a possible key stage in DCQVA metabolism, the activation of DCQVA to its CoA ester, has been investigated in rat liver microsomes and particulate fractions. The microsomal reaction was dependent on CoA, ATP, DCQVA (0.2-1 mM) and protein content. The reaction was decreased by storage at 4 degrees C, preincubation of microsomes at 37 degrees C for 5 min, or inclusion of Triton X-100 in the reaction mixture. Such treatments also enhanced generation of long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs, as determined by h.p.l.c. analysis. The same effect was caused by exposing the microsomes to phospholipase A2, suggesting that endogenous fatty acids may compete with DCQVA for esterification with CoA. Subcellular fractionation of rat liver demonstrated that the activity of DCQVA-CoA synthesis was localized predominantly in the microsomal fraction, in contrast to long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase, which was distributed among all particulate fractions. Administration of clofibrate of rats did not affect the distribution of DCQVA-CoA synthesis activity. In contrast to a 2-fold induction of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase by clofibrate treatment, the activity of DCQVA-CoA synthesis in the microsomal fraction decreased by 80%. These results suggest that DCQVA is activated by an enzyme distinct from long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase. The resulting perturbation of fatty acid metabolism may be involved in the mechanism whereby DCQVA causes peroxisome proliferation.

When [14C]arachidonoyl-CoA was incubated with crude extracts of rat liver microsomes, [14C]arachidonic acid was incorporated into many proteins, suggesting that modification of these proteins with fatty acid, i.e. acylation, occurred. Using a [14C]arachidonyl-CoA labelling assay, 50 and 53 kDa proteins were purified from rat liver microsomes to near homogeneity by sequential chromatography on Red-Toyopearl, hydroxyapatite, heparin-Toyopearl, Blue-Toyopearl and UDP-hexanolamine-agarose. Acylation of the 50 and 53 kDa proteins occurred in the absence of any other protein, suggesting that these molecules catalyse autoacylation. The acylation was dependent on the length of the incubation period and the concentration of [14C]arachidonoyl-CoA. The 50 and 53 kDa proteins also had acyl-CoA-binding activity; initial rates of acyl-CoA binding and acylation were 0.25 and 0.004 min-1 respectively. The proteins also had weak but distinct acyl-CoA-hydrolysing activity (0.006 min-1). These results suggest that the proteins catalysed the sequential reactions of binding to acyl-CoA, autoacylation, and hydrolysis of fatty acid. N-terminal amino acid sequencing analysis showed these proteins to be UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) isoforms. UDPGT activity was inhibited by arachidonoyl-CoA. These results suggest that binding of acyl-CoA and acylation of UDPGT isoforms regulate the enzyme activities, implying a possible novel function for fatty acyl-CoA in glucuronidation, which is involved in the metabolism of drugs, steroids and bilirubin.

Objectives: Triptolide (TPL) has been shown to have a good clinical effect on rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We designed TPL microspheres (TPL-MS) and investigated its metabolic behavior in human, dog, rabbit and rat liver microsomes (HLM, DLM, RLM and SDRLM) with UPLC-MS/MS method. Methods: First, a UPLC-MS/MS method was established to measure concentration of TPL in samples. The sample was separated on a C18 column (2.1×100 mm, 1.8μm) and eluted with a gradient elution. The precursor ion/product ion were m/z 378.1/361.0 for TPL and 260.0/116.2 for the internal standard. Then T1/2, Vmax and CLint were calculated from the above data. Finally, the metabolites of TPL-MS were identified by high-resolution UPLC-MS/MS. The sample was separated on a C18 column (2.1×100 mm, 2.2 μm) and eluted with isocratic elution. Mass spectrometric detection was carried out on a thermo Q-exactive mass spectrometer with HESI. The scanning range of precursor ions was from m/z 50 to m/z 750. Result and Discussion: Through several indicators including standard curve, precision, accuracy, stability, matrix effect and recovery rate, the enzymatic kinetics parameters including T1/2, Vmax and CLint were completed. Several metabolites of TPL-MS were identified. Conclusion: UPLC-MS/MS method is an accurate and sensitive method for determination of TPL in liver microsome samples with good precision, accuracy and stability. The variation of parameters indicated that the microspheres can delay the elimination of TPL in liver microsomes. The metabolism of TPL-MS varied among species, but no new metabolites appeared.
