| Popis: | 1. We investigated the nature and roles of various xenobiotic acyl-CoA hydrolases in liver subcellular fractions from rat treated with sulphur-substituted (thia) fatty acids. To contribute to our understanding of factors influencing enzymes involved in the degradation of activated fatty acids, the effects on these activities of the oppositely acting thia fatty acid analogues, the peroxisome proliferating 3-thia fatty acids (tetradecylthioacetic acid and 3-dithiacarboxylic acid), which are blocked for beta-oxidation, and a non-peroxisome-proliferating 4-thia fatty acid (tetradecylthiopropionic acid), which undergoes one cycle of beta-oxidation, were studied. 2. The hepatic subcellular distributions of palmitoyl-CoA, tetradecylthioacetyl-CoA and tetradecylthiopropionyl-CoA hydrolase activities were similar to each other in the control and 3-thia fatty acid-treated rat. In control animals, most of these hydrolases were located in the microsomal fraction, but after treatment with the 3-thia fatty acids, the specific activities of the mitochondrial, peroxisomal, and cytosolic palmitoyl-CoA, tetradecylthioacetyl-CoA, and tetradecylthiopropionyl-CoA hydrolase activities were significantly increased. This increase in activity was seen mostly for the enzymes using tetradecylthiopropionyl-CoA and tetradecylthioacetyl-CoA as substrates. The increased mitochondrial activities for these two substrates were seen already after 1 day of treatment, whereas the peroxisomal activities increased after 3 days. No stimulation was seen after treatment with the 4-thia fatty acid analogue, tetradecylthiopropionic acid, but a decrease in peroxisomal hydrolase activities for all three substrates was observed. 3. The cellular distributions of clofibroyl-CoA, POCA-CoA, and sebacoyl-CoA hydrolase activities were different from those of the 'long-chain acyl-CoA' hydrolases mentioned above both in the normal and 3-thia fatty acid treated rat. This group of hydrolases was found in the mitochondrial, peroxisomal, and cytosolic fractions. 3-Thia fatty acid treatment increased the activities of clofibroyl-CoA and sebacoyl-CoA hydrolases in all three fractions. Clofibroyl-CoA and sebacoyl-CoA hydrolase activities were increased after 1 day of treatment. Only the cytosolic POCA-CoA hydrolase was stimulated after 3-thia fatty acid treatment after only 1 day of treatment, whereas treatment with the 4-thia fatty acid led to an increase of enzyme activity in the mitochondrial and peroxisomal fractions. 4. Based on the subcellular distributions and specific activities, we suggest that several enzymes exist which may act as regulators of intracellular acyl-CoA levels. |
