Sterol 12
-hydroxylase (CYP8B) is a key enzyme for regulating the cholic acid/chenode-oxycholic acid ratio in bile acid biosynthesis. The hepatic CYP8B level was elevated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, and the elevated CYP8B was suppressed by insulin administration [Ishida, H. et al. (1999) J. Biochem. 126, 19-25]. The streptozotocin-induced elevation of hepatic CYP8B mRNA concomitantly responded to the decrement of the serum insulin leveL The CYP8B mRNA level in the cultivated rat hepatoma H4TG cells was strongly suppressed by insulin, although it was affected by dibutyryl cAMP or thyroxine to lesser extents. These observations demonstrate that CYP8B expression is dominantly regulated by the direct action of insulin on hepatocytes. A marked circadian rhythm (maximum at 13:00-16:00 and minimum at 1:00) was observed both on the mRNA level and the activity of CYP8B. This rhythm was shifted from that of cholesterol 7-hydroxylase, a rate-limiting enzyme of bile acid biosynthesis, showing a maximum at 22:00 and a minimum at 10:00 and this shift might oscillate the cholic acid/chenodeoxy-cholic acid ratio, which is increased in the late afternoon and decreased at midnight. The rhythm of CYP8B was the inverse of the circadian variation of serum insulin level and was similar to the circadian rhythm of glucose 6-phosphatase. These facts and the potent suppressive effect of insulin on CYP8B indicate that the oscillation of the serum insulin may be a factor in producing the circadian rhythm of CYP8B.
