Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the rate-limiting enzyme of 5-fluorouracil (FU) catabolism. The relevance of the measurement of DPD activity for identifying DPD-deficient patients is lessened by circadian variability in DPD activity. Our purpose was to determine whether or not DPD mRNA is sustained by a circadian rhythm. Synchronised mice (male B6D2F1) were sacrificed at 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 or 23 Hours After Light Onset (HALO; eight mice per time-point). Liver DPD activity was determined by a radio-enzymatic assay and liver DPD expression by a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Mice synchronisation was controlled by leucocyte and neutrophil counts. Individual DPD activity ranged from 555 to 1575 pmol/min/mg prot; mean DPD activity was highest at 3 HALO (mean+/-standard error of the mean (S.E.M.); 1105+/-70) and lowest at 15 HALO (889+/-71). Individual liver DPD expression varied from 761 to 3481 units (DPD/beta actin ratio); the mean was lowest at 3 HALO (1406+/-112) and highest at 15 HALO (2067+/-214). Cosinor analysis indicated that respective double amplitudes of DPD activity and expression were 21 and 30% of the 24-h mean. The acrophases for activity and expression were 6:40 and 14:10 HALO, respectively, meaning that maximum activity occurred 16 h after the maximum observed expression. These results, revealing the existence of a circadian rhythm in DPD expression, should stimulate further studies to enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the circadian regulation of the DPD enzyme.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
D002940 Circadian Rhythm The regular recurrence, in cycles of about 24 hours, of biological processes or activities, such as sensitivity to drugs or environmental and physiological stimuli.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
