ABSTRACT
Hormonal influence on hepatic function is a critical aspect of whole-body energy balance in vertebrates. Catecholamines and corticosteroids both influence hepatic energy balance via metabolite mobilization through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Elasmobranchs have a metabolic organization that appears to prioritize the mobilization of hepatic lipid as ketone bodies (e.g. 3-hydroxybutyrate [3-HB]), which adds complexity in determining the hormonal impact on hepatic energy balance in this taxon. Here, a liver perfusion was used to investigate catecholamine (epinephrine [E]) and corticosteroid (corticosterone [B] and 11-deoxycorticosterone [DOC]) effects on the regulation of hepatic glucose and 3-HB balance in the North Pacific Spiny dogfish, Squalus suckleyi. Further, hepatic enzyme activity involved in ketogenesis (3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase), glycogenolysis (glycogen phosphorylase), and gluconeogenesis (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase) were assessed in perfused liver tissue following hormonal application to discern effects on hepatic energy flux. mRNA transcript abundance key transporters of glucose (glut1 and glut4) and ketones (mct1 and mct2) and glucocorticoid function (gr, pepck, fkbp5, and 11ßhsd2) were also measured to investigate putative cellular components involved in hepatic responses. There were no changes in the arterial-venous difference of either metabolite in all hormone perfusions. However, perfusion with DOC increased gr transcript abundance and decreased flow rate of perfusions, suggesting a regulatory role for this corticosteroid. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity increased following all hormone treatments, which may suggest gluconeogenic function; E also increased 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity, suggesting a function in ketogenesis, and decreased pepck and fkbp5 transcript abundance, potentially showing some metabolic regulation. Overall, we demonstrate hormonal control of hepatic energy balance using liver perfusions at various levels of biological organization in an elasmobranch.
