The coordinated expression of two genes specifically induced by glucose starvation is demonstrated in a hamster fibroblast cell line, K12. Using two cDNA plasmids, p4A3 and p3C5, as hybridization probes, we examine the kinetics of induction of these genes when the cells are grown in medium deprived of glucose. The results show that (i) after a lag period of about 8 hr, there is a rapid and simultaneous increase of the p4A3 and p3C5 mRNA levels and (ii) the elevation of the mRNA levels for p4A3 and p3C5 is largely due to new transcription. In addition, we compare the mRNA transcripts encoded by these glucose-regulated genes in culture cells and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, the enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in gluconeogenesis in fasted rats. Our results indicate that the expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is not inducible by glucose starvation in our culture cells.
