应用兔抗纤维粘(连)蛋白(FN)抗体和兔抗3t,5,环腺苷酸(cAMP)特异性抗体,并用羊抗兔IgG荧光抗体,在荧光显微镜下观察丁酸钠对人胃腺癌SGC一7901细胞系的纤维粘(连)蛋白(FN)和cAMP水平的变化。实验结果表明丁酸钠有增强SGC一7901细胞内纤维粘(连)蛋白(FN)和c.~MP水平的作用;应用电镜细胞化学和扫描电镜的技术方法,观察到人胃腺癌SGC一7901细胞在丁酸钠作用下膜表而(Na 一K )一ATP酶活性明显下降;微绒毛明显减退,膜表面较光滑。这可能说明丁酸钠通过抑制(Na~一K )一ATP酶活性,提高了细咆内cAMP水平,调控细胞的增殖和分化。     

Action of luliberine on the Na,K-ATPase and Ca-ATPase activity of the sarcolemma of the rat heart]

The effect of luliberine, one of the hypothalamic releasing-factors, upon the ATPase activity in the rat heart sarcolemma was investigated. A decrease in the (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity and stimulation of Ca-ATPase activity under the influence of luliberine were demonstrated. Inhibition of (Na+-K+)-ATPase by cAMP and noradrenaline was also revealed. A possibility of the direct and cAMP-mediated action of luliberine on the Na+-K+)-ATPase activity is suggested.     

Studies on intestinal adenosine triphosphatases. II. Stabilitiies in different rat subcellular fractions.

Subcellular fraction (brush border, mitochondria, microsomes and plasma membranes) are isolated from the rat intestinal epithelial cells. A comparison was made between the effect of cold storage, freeze-thawing, heating and of some chemicals (DMSO, DTT, glycerol, sucrose) on the stability of Mg2+ and (Na+-K+) dependent ATPases in these fractions in order to determine possible difference linked to the localization in the enterocyte. Enzymatic activities were found more stable at -20 degrees C than at +4 degrees C. Microsomal (Na+-K+)-ATPase increased in activity until the 8th day, then declined. Brush border (Na+-K+)-ATPase was the least resistant of all fractions. For Mg2+-ATPase, that from mitochondria was that had lost much more activity (84%) in 15 days at +4 degrees C. With freeze-thawing there was a comparable decrease in all activities (20-35%). by heating between 35 and 60 degrees C, Mg2+-ATPase was shown to be more heat resistant than (Na+-K+)-ATPase. The addition of some stabilizing chemicals (DMSO, glycerol, sucrose) improved the heat stability of the two enzymes: better results were obtained with glycerol for Mg2+-ATPase and sucrose for (Na+-K+)-ATPase. These differences might be due to the compositon in membraine lipids or to the nature of the enzymes studied.     

Alkaline phosphatase activity in the placental labyrinth of the cat and problems of specific localization of transport adenosine triphosphatase. An ultrastructural study (author's transl)

The ultrastructural localizations of alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) and of Na+-K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na+-K+-ATPase) were studied in the placental labyrinth of the cat during the last days of gestation. ALPase activity could be detected in the syncytiotrophoblast but was absent from maternal tissues. Enzyme activity was observed only along plasma membranes of microvilli and absorption tubules on the maternal surface of the syncytium and also on the podocytes-like cytoplasmic processes of the fetal face. The localization of the Na+-K+-ATPase activity as obtained with the method of Ernst was identical with that of ALPase. This activity was not very ouabaine sensitive or K+ dependent, but was almost completely inhibited by levamisole. The strong ALPase activity of the syncytiotrophoblast does not allow a specific detection of Na+-K+-ATPase. However, the localization of these enzymes activities on syncytiotrophoblast surfaces directly related to fetal and maternal capillaries could suggest that these surfaces are associated with transport mechanisms of the trophoblast.     

Histochemical and cytochemical localization of (Na+-K+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase in the acini of dog submandibular glands.

p-Nitrophenyl phosphatase (p-NPPase) activity of (Na+-K+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase ((Na+-K+)-ATPase) on the acinar cells of dog submandibular gland was demonstrated by using light microscopy. The reaction products of p-NPPase of fresh frozen sections were seen to be localized on the basal parts of acini, and disappeared when the sections were incubated in medium containing 10(-3) Mouabain or in a K-free medium. Under the electron microscope, the reaction products of ATPase were found to be localized on the basolateral plasma membrane of both serous and mucous cells. On the microvilli of the luminal plasma membrane of the acinar cell, a small quantity of the reaction products was also present. This localization of ATPase reaction products on the serous and mucous cells seemed to coincide well with that of p-NPPase activity observed on the acini under light microscopy. Possible explanations are given regarding distribution of the above mentioned enzymes in relation to the cation transport of the plasma membrane. Structural and functional asymmetrical properties of acinar cells of the dog submandibular gland are also discussed.     

Modulation of alpha-ENaC and alpha1-Na+-K+-ATPase by cAMP and dexamethasone in alveolar epithelial cells

cAMP and dexamethasone are known to modulate Na+ transport in epithelial cells. We investigated whether dibutyryl cAMP (DBcAMP) and dexamethasone modulate the mRNA expression of two key elements of the Na+ transport system in isolated rat alveolar epithelial cells: alpha-, beta-, and gamma-subunits of the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) and the alpha1- and beta1-subunits of Na+-K+-ATPase. The cells were treated for up to 48 h with DBcAMP or dexamethasone to assess their long-term impact on the steady-state level of ENaC and Na+-K+-ATPase mRNA. DBcAMP induced a twofold transient increase of alpha-ENaC and alpha1-Na+-K+-ATPase mRNA that peaked after 8 h of treatment. It also upregulated beta- and gamma-ENaC mRNA but not beta1-Na+-K+-ATPase mRNA. Dexamethasone augmented alpha-ENaC mRNA expression 4.4-fold in cells treated for 24 h and also upregulated beta- and gamma-ENaC mRNA. There was a 1.6-fold increase at 8 h of beta1-Na+-K+-ATPase mRNA but no significant modulation of alpha1-Na+-K+-ATPase mRNA expression. Because DBcAMP and dexamethasone did not increase the stability of alpha-ENaC mRNA, we cloned 3.2 kb of the 5' sequences flanking the mouse alpha-ENaC gene to study the impact of DBcAMP and dexamethasone on alpha-ENaC promoter activity. The promoter was able to drive basal expression of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene in A549 cells. Dexamethasone increased the activity of the promoter by a factor of 5.9. To complete the study, the physiological effects of DBcAMP and dexamethasone were investigated by measuring transepithelial current in treated and control cells. DBcAMP and dexamethasone modulated transepithelial current with a time course reminiscent of the profile observed for alpha-ENaC mRNA expression. DBcAMP had a greater impact on transepithelial current (2.5-fold increase at 8 h) than dexamethasone (1.8-fold increase at 24 h). These results suggest that modulation of alpha-ENaC and Na+-K+-ATPase gene expression is one of the mechanisms that regulates Na+ transport in alveolar epithelial cells.     

Effects of rubratoxin B on the kinetics of cationic and substrate activation of (Na+-K+)-ATPase and p-nitrophenyl phosphatase.

Rubratoxin B, a lactone-containing bisanhydride metabolite of certain toxigenic molds, inhibited (Na+-K+)-stimulated ATPase activity of mouse brain microsomes in a dose-dependent manner with an estimated IC50 of 6 x 10(-6) M. Hydrolysis of ATP was linear with time and enzyme concentration, with or without rubratoxin in reaction mixtures. Altered pH and activity curves for (Na+-K+)-ATPase demonstrated comparable inhibition by rubratoxin in buffered acidic, neutral, and alkaline pH ranges. Kinetic studies of cationic-substrate activation of (Na+-K+)-ATPase indicated classical competitive inhibition for Na+ and K+. Results also showed competitive inhibition for K+ activated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase as demonstrated by altered binding site parameters without change in the catalytic velocity of dephosphorylation of the enzyme . phosphoryl complex. Noncompetitive inhibition with regards to activation by ATP and p-nitrophenyl phosphate was indicated by altered Vmax values with no change in Km values. Inhibition was partially restored by repeated washings. Preincubation with sulfhydryl agents protected the enzyme from inhibition. Cumulative inhibition studies with rubratoxin and ouabain indicated possible interaction between the two inhibitors of (Na+-K+)-ATPase. Rubratoxin appeared to exert its effects on (Na+-K+)-ATPase by interacting at Na+ and K+ sites.     

Gill Na+-K+-ATPase activity correlates with basolateral membrane lipid composition in seawater- but not freshwater-acclimated Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)

The successful migration of euryhaline teleost fish from freshwater to seawater requires the upregulation of gill Na+-K+-ATPase, an ion transport enzyme located in the basolateral membrane (BLM) of gill chloride cells. Following 39 days of seawater exposure, Arctic char had similar plasma sodium and chloride levels as individuals maintained in freshwater, indicating they had successfully acclimated to seawater. This acclimation was associated with an eightfold increase in gill Na+-K+-ATPase activity but only a threefold increase in gill Na+-K+-ATPase protein number, suggesting that other mechanisms may also modulate gill Na+-K+-ATPase activity. We therefore investigated the influence of membrane composition on Na+-K+-ATPase activity by examining the phospholipid, fatty acid, and cholesterol composition of the gill BLM from freshwater- and seawater-acclimated Arctic char. Mean gill BLM cholesterol content was significantly lower ( approximately 22%) in seawater-acclimated char. Gill Na+-K+-ATPase activity in individual seawater Arctic char was negatively correlated with BLM cholesterol content and positively correlated with %phosphatidylethanolamine and overall %18:2n6 (linoleic acid) content of the BLM, suggesting gill Na+-K+-ATPase activity of seawater-acclimated char may be modulated by the lipid composition of the BLM and may be especially sensitive to those parameters known to influence membrane fluidity. Na+-K+-ATPase activity of individual freshwater Arctic char was not correlated to any membrane lipid parameter measured, suggesting that different lipid-protein interactions may exist for char living in each environment.     

Tissue ATPase activity and recovery in the freshwater crab Oziotelphusa senex senex exposed to a sublethal concentration of endosulfan for varying periods of time.

1. Na(+)-K+ and Mg(2+)-tissue ATPases of the freshwater crab Oziotelphusa senex senex showed increasing inhibition when exposed to a sublethal concentration (1.86 mg/l = 0.1 of LC50) of endosulfan for 1-30 days. 2. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in all tissues (thoracic nerve mass, gill, hepatopancreas and claw muscle) was higher than Mg(2+)-ATPase activity. 3. After 30 days exposure tissue Mg(2+)-ATPase was less affected than Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. 4. Crabs exposed to endosulfan and then returned to uncontaminated water showed greater recovery of Mg(2+)-ATPase than Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase with 90-95% recovery after 1 day exposure and 60-65% recovery after 30 days exposure. 5. Changes in behaviour of the crabs were noted after 7 days exposure to endosulfan with progressive loss of coordination, decreased activity and increased exudation of mucus.     

Brown adipose tissue (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity and substrate uptake during the breeding cycle of rats

Brown adipose tissue (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity, in vitro glucose and 2-aminoisobutyric acid uptake, as well as mitochondrial GDP-binding and succinate dehydrogenase activity were determined in order to study the relationship between these parameters and the thermogenic status. Analysis were carried out on control animal, pregnant rats, dams and pups during lactation, GDP-binding, (Na+-K+)-ATPase and glucose uptake were found to be decreased in brown adipose tissue from pregnant rats and dams, and increased in pups, 2-aminoisobutyric acid uptake was only increased in pups, but no changes were observed in the other experimental groups tested. GDP-binding and (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity showed a parallelism which suggests that the enzyme is a good index of thermogenic status of the animal.     

Dog kidney (Na+,K+)-ATPase is more sensitive to inhibition by vanadate than human red cell (Na+,K+)-ATPase

(Na+,K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) from kidney is more sensitive to inhibition by vanadate than red cell (Na+,K+)-ATPase. The difference appears to be in the apparent affinities of the two enzymes for K+ and Na+ at sites where K+ promotes and Na+ opposes vanadate binding. As a result of Na+-K+ competition at these sites, reversal of vanadate inhibition was accomplished at lower Na+ concentrations in red cell than in kidney (NA+,K+)-ATPase. It is possible that vanadate could selectively regulate Na+ transport in the kidney.     

Effects of short chain fatty acids on colonic Na+ absorption and enzyme activity

Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) stimulate colonic Na+ absorption and inhibit cAMP and cGMP-mediated Cl- secretion. It is uncertain whether SCFA have equivalent effects on absorption and whether SCFA inhibition of Cl- secretion involves effects on mucosal enzymes. Unidirectional Na+ fluxes were measured across stripped colonic segments in the Ussing chamber. Enzyme activity was measured in cell fractions of scraped colonic mucosa. Mucosal 50 mM acetate, propionate, butyrate and poorly metabolized isobutyrate stimulated proximal colon Na+ absorption equally (300%). Neither 2-bromo-octanoate, an inhibitor of beta-oxidation, nor carbonic anhydrase inhibition affected this stimulation. All SCFA except acetate stimulated distal colon Na+ absorption 200%. Only one SCFA affected proximal colon cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) (18% inhibition by 50 mM butyrate). All SCFA at 50 mM stimulated distal colon cAMP PDE (24-43%) and decreased forskolin-stimulated mucosal cAMP content. None of the SCFA affected forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase in distal colon or ST(a)-stimulated guanylyl cyclase in proximal colon. Na+-K+-ATPase in distal colon was inhibited 23-51% by the SCFA at 50 mM. We conclude that all SCFA (except acetate in distal colon) stimulate colonic Na+ absorption equally, and the mechanism does not involve mucosal SCFA metabolism or carbonic anhydrase. SCFA inhibition of cAMP-mediated secretion may involve SCFA stimulation of PDE and inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase.     

The use of 36Cl- to measure cell plasma membrane potential in isolated hepatocytes--effects of cyclic AMP and bicarbonate ions

The plasma membrane potential of hepatocytes was calculated from the distribution of 36Cl-. The potential observed under several conditions was equivalent to that previously measured using microelectrodes in perfused liver. Dibutyryl cAMP increased the membrane potential. Replacement of bicarbonate ions by morpholinosulphonate decreased the potential and reduced the effect of cAMP. The effect of both bicarbonate and cAMP was abolished by ouabain. Both bicarbonate and cAMP stimulated the activity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase as measured by ouabain-inhibitable 86Rb+ uptake. It is suggested that the stimulation of alanine transport by these effectors is mediated by an increase in cell membrane potential via stimulation of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.     

Cytochemical localization of plasma membrane enzyme markers during interiorization of tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii by macrophages

The enzyme activity of Mg++-ATPase, Na+-K+-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase and NAD(P)H-oxidase was cytochemically detected at the ultrastructural level in mouse peritoneal macrophages infected with untreated and with specific antibody-coated Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites. The Mg++-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase were distributed throughout the macrophages' plasma membrane but were not observed in the membrane lining endocytic vacuoles containing ingested parasites; however, Na+-K+-ATPase activity was detected in the macrophages' plasma membrane as well as in the parasitophorous vacuoles that contained untreated or specific antibody-coated parasites. Reaction product, indicative of NAD(P)H-oxidase, was detected in the parasitophorous vacuoles that contained only specific antibody-coated parasites.     

Effect of chlorpropamide and of phenformin on isolated liver plasmatic membranes]

Previous observations from this laboratory suggest that chlorpropamide and phenformin, two hypoglycemic drugs belonging to sulfonylureas and biguanides respectively, act on liver plasma membranes altering the activity of enzymes bound to plasma membrane as (Na+-K+)-ATPase. This enzyme, an integral membrane protein which shows a cooperative behavior, has been used as an allosteric probe able to give information on plasma membrane. Our experiments show that (Na+-K+)-ATPase has a positive cooperative behaviour, as suggested from Hill coefficient n > l. The two hypoglycemic drugs decrease the Hill coefficient; in addition both chlorpropamide and phenformin inhibit (Na+-K+)-dependent but not Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity.     

Cyclic stretch translocates the alpha2-subunit of the Na pump to plasma membrane in skeletal muscle cells in vitro

The Na+-K+-ATPase and its regulation is important for maintaining membrane potential and transmembrane Na(+) gradient in all skeletal muscle cells and thus is essential for cell survival and function. In our previous study, cyclic stretch activated the Na pump in cultured skeletal muscle cells. Presently, we investigated whether this stimulation was the result of translocation of Na+-K+-ATPase from endosomes to the plasma membrane, and also evaluated the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), the activation of which initiated vesicular trafficking and targeting of proteins to specific cell compartments. Skeletal muscle cells were stretched at 25% elongation continuous for 24h using the Flexercell Strain Unit. The plasma membrane and endosome fractions were isolated and Western blotted to localize the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1- and alpha2-subunit protein. The results showed stretch increased Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1- and alpha2-subunit protein expression in plasma membrane fractions and decreased it in endosomes. The alpha2-subunit had a more dynamic response to mechanical stretch. PI 3-kinase inhibitors (LY294002) blocked the stretch-induced translocation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha2-subunit, while LY294002 had no effect on the transfer of alpha1-subunit. We concluded that cyclic stretch mainly stimulated the translocation of the alpha2-subunit of Na+-K+-ATPase from endosomes to the plasma membrane via a PI 3-kinase-dependent mechanism in cultured skeletal muscle cells in vitro, which in turn increased the activity of the Na pump.     

Parathyroid hormone-mediated regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase requires ERK-dependent translocation of protein kinase Calpha

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) inhibits Na+-K+-ATPase activity by serine phosphorylation of the alpha1 subunit through protein kinase C (PKC)- and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent pathways. Based on previous studies we postulated that PTH regulates sodium pump activity through isoform-specific PKC-dependent activation of ERK. In the present work utilizing opossum kidney cells, a model of renal proximal tubule, PTH stimulated membrane translocation of PKCalpha by 102 +/- 16% and PKCbetaI by 41 +/- 7% but had no effect on PKCbetaII and PKCzeta. Both PKCalpha and PKCbetaI phosphorylated the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit in vitro. PTH increased the activity of PKCalpha but not PKCbetaI. Coimmunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that treatment with PTH enhanced the association between Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and PKCalpha, whereas the association between Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and PKCbetaI remained unchanged. A PKCalpha inhibitory peptide blocked PTH-stimulated serine phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase activity. Pharmacologic inhibition of MEK-1 blocked PTH-stimulated translocation of PKCalpha, whereas transfection of constitutively active MEK-1 cDNA induced translocation of PKCalpha and increased phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. In contrast, PTH-stimulated ERK activation was not inhibited by pretreatment with the PKCalpha inhibitory peptide. Inhibition of PKCalpha expression by siRNA did not inhibit PTH-mediated ERK activation but significantly reduced PTH-mediated phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. Pharmacologic inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase blocked PTH-stimulated ERK activation, translocation of PKCalpha, and phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. We conclude that PTH stimulates Na+-K+-ATPase phosphorylation and decreases the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase by ERK-dependent activation of PKCalpha.     

温度和盐度对吉富品系尼罗罗非鱼幼鱼鳃Na+-K+-ATPase活力的联合效应

Na,K-ATPase function and cellular proliferative activity in culture

A study was made of the dependence of ATP hydrolysis intensity upon different ratios of sodium and potassium ions in plasma membrane of L cells and of cells of clone Lebr 625, sensitive and resistant to ethidium bromide, and of the distribution of cells according to cell cycle phases in dense and sparse cultures. In dense cultures, the cell growth is arrested on G1 phase, the hydrolytic activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase decreases, and the Na+, K+ ratio for maximum activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase changes. The higher proliferative activity of Lebr 625 cells in dense culture corresponds to the higher hydrolytic activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.
