The onset of metabolic acidosis causes an increased transcription of the renal phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK) gene. When transgenic mice carrying a bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene driven by the -460 to +73 segment of the PCK promoter were made chronically acidotic, the bGH mRNA was increased twofold after 4 days. Confluent and well-differentiated cultures of LLC-PK1-F+ cells exhibit a 2.5-fold increase in PCK mRNA when transferred to acidic media (pH 6.9, 10 mM HCO3-) for 16 h. Confluent cultures transfected with PCK-490 CAT exhibit an increase (3.5-fold) in chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activity when shifted to acidic medium for 48 h. Mutation or deletion of the P2 element causes a four- to fivefold decrease in basal CAT activity but does not affect the pH response. In contrast, mutations of the P3(II) element or the CRE-1 cAMP-response element have little effect on basal activity but cause a 50% decrease in the pH response. Other deletions or mutations have little effect on either activity. Thus changes in the activity or levels of the protein(s) in the renal proximal tubule that binds to the P3(II) and CRE-1 elements may mediate increased transcription of the PCK gene during metabolic acidosis.
