Pleiotropic effects of thyroid hormone, growth hormone and high carbohydrate, fat-free diet in regulating the intracellular levels of rat liver mRNA were examined. Total hepatic poly(A)-containing RNA, isolated from appropriately treated animals, was translated in the mRNA-dependent reticulocyte lysate system. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the 35S-labeled translational products allowed separation of .apprx. 200 different mRNA-encoded products. Computerized video densitometry was utilized to quantitate the relative proportion of any individual product in the total population. Previous work has shown that administration of triiodothyronine (T3) to hypothyroid rats leads to specific alterations in .apprx. 8% of the mRNA species detected by this technique. A subset of these T3-responsive mRNA species is indirectly affected by T3 through its action on pituitary production of growth hormone. Administration of growth hormone to hypothyroid rats leads to specific alterations in the levels of 8 different mRNA species. The relative levels of 4 mRNA species are diminished, and those of 4 mRNA species are increased by growth hormone. Thus, this hormone which presumably binds to a membrane receptor can act at a pretranslational level to augment and attenuate several specific mRNA sequences. For 2 of these mRNA species, the combined action of T3 and growth hormone is necessary for maintenance of normal levels. In addition, switching rats from standard laboratory chow to a diet high in carbohydrate and fat free resulted in changes in the levels of 10 different mRNA-encoded products. Interestingly, all but one of these mRNA species was also influenced by the thyroidal status of the animal. Thus, a high degree of overlap exists between mRNA species regulated by T3 and a high carbohydrate, fat-free diet. Most T3-responsive mRNA species appear to be regulated in a complex multifactorial pathway.
