The effect of ethanol on the expression of asialoglycoprotein receptor protein and its mRNA was studied in a human hepatoma cell line, HepG2. The number of asialoglycoprotein receptors on the cell surface was decreased to 60% of the control level, without a loss in affinity, by incubating the cells with 100 mM ethanol. The decrease in cell surface asialoglycoprotein receptors was paralleled by a decrease in total receptor numbers, including intracellular and surface receptors. The internalization of asialoglycoprotein was also diminished, to 44% of that in control cells. The decreases in cell surface receptors and total receptor numbers were partially restored by 2 mM 4-methylpyrazole, suggesting that ethanol metabolites participated in the diminution of asialoglycoprotein receptor expression. However, the steady-state expression of asialoglycoprotein receptor mRNA was increased in ethanol-treated cells and further augmented by a longer ethanol exposure. These paradoxical results, i.e., the decrease of asialoglycoprotein receptor protein and the increase of its mRNA expression, suggest that the reduction in the asialoglycoprotein receptor protein is a post-transcriptional event and that a possible feedback regulatory mechanism may control asialoglycoprotein receptor gene transcription and/or impair the degradation of its mRNA.
