Zusammenfassung:Acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACS4) is an arachidonate-preferring enzyme abundant in steroidogenic tissues. We examined ACS4 in rat liver, which contains a variety of pathways that use acyl-CoAs, in order to determine subcellular locations. We demonstrate that ACS4 protein was present most abundantly in the mitochondria and to a much lesser extent in the peroxisomes and microsomes. To determined the dietary effects on the level of ACS4 mRNA, northern blotting was carried out using total RNA from the livers of adult male rats fed various diets. Fasting, high fat diet, and fat-free high sucrose diet increased the hepatic level of ACS4 mRNA approximately 2-fold. Furthermore, the levels of ACS4 mRNA were induced by DEHP[Di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate]. These data suggest that ACS4 expression in the liver is regulated with a variety of pathways, including $\beta$-oxidation, hormone, and insulin. 본 연구에서는 흰쥐 간장에 있어서 아실-CoA 합성효소 4의 세포내 소기관의 존재 여부를 확인함과 동시에 fasting, high fat diet, fat-free high sucrose diet, 퍼옥시솜 증식 인자인 DEHP [Di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate]를 급여한 흰쥐 간장에 있어서 ACS4의 발현에 대하여 조사하였다. ACS4는 ACSI과 마찬가지로 흰쥐 간장의 마이크로솜, 미토콘드리아와 퍼옥시솜에 존재하는 것으로 생각되며 미토콘드리아에서 가장 많은 단백질이 검출되었다. ACS4 mRNA는 절식하였을 때와 high fat diet, fat-free high sucrose diet을 급여하였을 때는 대조군에 비하여 2.3배 발현이 증가하였으며 DEHP을 급여하였을 때는 3.9배 mRNA의 증가를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 보면 간장에 있어서 ACS4는 기본적인 $\beta$-산화뿐만 아니라 호르몬에 의한 조절과 간접적으로는 인슐린에 의한 조절도 받는 것으로 생각되며 다양한 기능을 수행하고 있음을 추측할 수 있다.
