In vivo effect of colchicine on hepatic protein synthesis and on the conversion of proalbumin to serum albumin

Abstract: Treatment of rats with 0.5-25 /zmol/100 g body weight of colchicine for 1 h or more caused an inhibition of hepatic protein synthesis. This effect was not seen if the animals were exposed to colchicine for less than 1 h. The delayed inhibition of protein synthesis affected both secretory and nonsecretory proteins. Treatment with colchicine (15 /zmol/100 g) for I h or more caused the RNA content of membrane-bound polysomes to fall but did not change the polysomal profile of this fraction. By contrast, the total… Show more

“…Upon reestablishing secretory flow from the ER to the Golgi in this manner, transport from dispersed Golgi sites to the cell surface, as shown by occurs efficiently, but is no longer directed to specific regions of the cell surface. This interpretation offers a reasonable explanation to the conflicting data regarding the role of microtubules in secretion, where some studies have shown no effect of microtubule disruption Van De Moortele et al, 1993), while others have found significant effects (Redman et al, 1978;Boyd et al, 1982;Breitfield et al, 1990;Gilbert et al, 1991;Rennison et al, 1992). It also supports studies of Saraste and Svensson (1991) that suggested that ER-to-Golgi transport intermediates use microtubules to translocate into the Golgi region.…”

“…As noted in Table VI the radiolabeled material from subcellular fractions of colchicine-treated rats was comparable in integrity to that from subcellular fractions of control rats. In previous studies it was shown that colchicine administration (0.5-25 pmol/100 g body wt) caused an inhibition of hepatic protein synthesis (40) . Since cycloheximide treatment of rats resulted in a rapid decrease in hepatic lactogen receptors levels (18), we considered whether the inhibition of 125 1-oPRL uptake into GI and Gi fractions reflected a depletion of lactogen receptor in these fractions secondary to an inhibition of protein synthesis.…”

“…Colchicine has been shown to inhibit the secretory process in liver (2,10,(39)(40)(41) and other tissues (15,20,21,30,31,47) . It has been shown to have a disorganizing effect on Golgi structure in certain tissues (44) and to inhibit endocytosis in chondrocytes (33), fibroblasts (45), and macrophages (44).…”

“…There was no difference in the appearance of the RER in colchicine-treated rats and the RER of rats given cycloheximide; in both cases bound ribosomes were positive for antigens of albumin and the lumen of the RER was negative. After colchicine injection, excessive albumin has been demonstrated in the Golgi region and in an increased number of Golgiderived secretion vesicles (Redman et al, 1978); both of these effects were seen here.…”
