Dog red blood cells (RBC) are shown to regulate their volume in anisosmotic media. Extrusion of water from osmotically swollen cells requires external calcium and is associated with net outward sodium movement. Accumulation of water by osmotically shrunken cells is not calcium dependent and is associated with net sodium uptake. Net movements of calcium are influenced by several variables including cell volume, pH, medium sodium concentration, and cellular sodium concentration. Osmotic swelling of cells increases calcium permeability, and this effect is diminished at acid pH. Net calcium flux in either direction between cells and medium is facilitated when the sodium concentrations is low in the compartment from which calcium moves and/or high in the compartment to which calcium moves. The hypothesis is advanced that energy for active sodium extrusion in dog RBC comes from passive, inward flow of calcium through a countertransport mechanism. 相似文献

Regulation of the sodium permeability of the luminal membrane is the major mechanism by which the net rate of sodium transport across tight epithelia is varied. Previous evidence has suggested that the permeability of the luminal membrane might be regulated by changes in intracellular sodium or calcium activities. To test this directly, we isolated a fraction of the plasma membrane from the toad urinary bladder, which contains a fast, amiloride-sensitive sodium flux with characteristics similar to those of the native luminal membrane. Using a flow-quench apparatus to measure the initial rate of sodium efflux from these vesicles in the millisecond time range, we have demonstrated that the isotope exchange permeability of these vesicles is very sensitive to calcium. Calcium reduces the sodium permeability, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration is 0.5 microM, well within the range of calcium activity found in cells. Also, the permeability of the luminal membrane vesicles is little affected by the ambient sodium concentration. These results, when taken together with studies on whole tissue, suggest that cell calcium may be an important regulator of transepithelial sodium transport by its effect on luminal sodium permeability. The effect of cell sodium on permeability may be mediated by calcium rather than by sodium itself. 相似文献

To better understand inhibition of gap-junction-mediated cell communication among cultured fibroblasts treated with the sodium pump inhibitor ouabain, we tested whether such cells have higher calcium levels than normal. Using the calcium indicator dye fura-2 with fluorescence spectroscopy and digital imaging microscopy, we determined cell calcium levels during exposure of cells to ouabain. The concentration of ouabain was high enough to achieve maximum alterations of steady-state sodium and potassium content and cell communication. We found no consistent change in calcium levels in human fibroblasts as a result of this treatment. In mouse 3T3 fibroblasts, concentrations of ouabain that inhibit cell communication were associated with a significant reduction of cell calcium. It appears, therefore, that the inhibition of communication by ouabain cannot be attributed to elevated cytosolic free calcium in the treated cultures. 相似文献

Dog red blood cells (RBC) lack a ouabain-sensitive sodium pump, and yet they are capable of volume regulation in vivo. The present study was designed to find in vitro conditions under which dog RBC could transport sodium outward, against an electrochemical gradient. Cells were first loaded with sodium chloride and water by preincubation in hypertonic saline. They were then incubated at 37°C in media containing physiologic concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, glucose, and calcium. The cells returned to a normal salt and water content in 16–20 h. Without calcium in the medium the cells continued slowly to accumulate sodium. Removal of glucose caused rapid swelling and lysis, whether or not calcium was present. The net efflux of sodium showed a close relationship to medium calcium over a concentration range from 0 to 5 mM. Extrusion of salt and water was also demonstrated in fresh RBC (no hypertonic preincubation) when calcium levels in the media were sufficiently raised. The ion and water movements in these experiments were not influenced by ouabain or by removal of extracellular potassium. Magnesium could not substitute for calcium. It is concluded that dog RBC have an energy-dependent mechanism for extruding sodium chloride which requires external calcium and is quite distinct from the sodium-potassium exchange pump. 相似文献

Summary
3H-labelled phloretin was shown to be bound reversibly by human erythrocyte and ghost membranes but not to penetrate across them in either direction. Kinetic parameters ofd-xylose andd-galactose transport in intact cells and in ghosts, as well as the inhibition by phloretin of these transports were found to be in fair agreement. By enclosing phloretin in ghosts, its inhibition of monosaccharide transport was found to be symmetrical and thus an equivalence of the outer and the inner membrane sides of the human erythrocyte was demonstrated. 相似文献

Sodium movement in high sodium feline red cells 总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1
The transport of Na in the cat red cells has been studied under various experimental conditions. The unidirectional radioactive Na influx increased with increasing temperature until it reached a maximum value at 37°C ± 2°C and then decreased with a further increase in temperature. Errors stated in this paper represent 1.0 standard errors of the mean. The apparent activation energy was calculated in the region between 25 and 37°C and was found to be 4.9 ± 0.5 kcal/mole. Copper at a concentration of 0.04 mM inhibited this influx by 65%. When cells were suspended in isosmotic KCl buffer, cell volume was found to decrease initially with time. This unusual behavior is discussed in terms of Na to K preference of the cell membrane. In cat red cells, Na influx was found to increase about 13-fold when cell volume was decreased from 1.16 normal to 0.87. This effect could not be reproduced when the medium osmolarity was changed only by the addition of urea, a permeating molecule. On the other hand, K influx was found to decrease from 0.24 ± 0.03 mEq/liters RBC, hr at a relative cellular volume equal to 1.0 to 0.11 ± 0.01 mEq/liters RBC, hr at a cell volume of 0.75. Na influx in human red cells did not show any significant dependence on cell volume. The properties of Na movement in the cat red cells are compared to those of human red cells. 相似文献

The interaction of phloretin with single lipid bilayers on a spherical support and with multilamellar vesicles was studied
by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The results indicated that phloretin interacts
with the lipid layer and changes its structural parameters. In DSC experiments, phloretin in its neutral form strongly decreased
the lipid phase transition temperature and slightly reduced the cooperativity of the phase transition within the lipid layer.
In NMR measurements, phloretin led to an increase of the transverse relaxation time constant but had no effect on the spin-lattice
relaxation time constant. The overall dipole moment of phloretin was experimentally determined and was found to be roughly
40% lower than has been published previously. This result suggested that the size of the dipole moment of phloretin does not
provide such a high contribution to the effect of phloretin on the dipole potential of monolayers and bilayers as has been
published previously. To understand the discrepancy between phloretin adsorption and dipole potential change, we performed
computational conformational analysis of phloretin in the gas phase. The results showed that a wide distribution of the dipole
moments of phloretin conformers exists, which mainly depends on the orientation of the OH moieties. The adsorption of phloretin
as determined from its binding to solid supported bilayers differed from the one determined from dipole potential measurements
on black lipid membranes. The difference between the phloretin dissociation constants of both types of experiments suggested
a change of its dipole moment normal to the membrane surface in a concentration-dependent manner, which was in agreement with
the results of the computational conformational analysis.

Erythrocytes exposed to subhemolytic shear stress in vitro exhibit decreased deformability as determined by a filtration method. Intracellular calcium content of these cells has been measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy and found to be 35 and 55% higher than controls (0.0157 μmol/ml packed red blood cells) after shear stress levels of 100 and 130 N/cm2, respectively. These alterations occur without significant changes in ATP level, intracellular magnesium content, cell volume, or morphology, and without large associated sodium and potassium fluxes. Results indicate that calcium may be responsible for or associated with changes in the viscoelastic properties of the red cell membrane caused by sublytic mechanical trauma. 相似文献

Phloretin binding to red blood cell components has been characterized at pH6, where binding and inhibitory potency are maximal. Binding to intact red cells and to purified hemoglobin are nonsaturated processes approximately equal in magnitude, which strongly suggests that most of the red cell binding may be ascribed to hemoglobin. This conclusion is supported by the fact that homoglobin-free red cell ghosts can bind only 10% as much phloretin as an equivalent number of red cells. The permeability of the red cell membrane to phloretin has been determined by a direct measurement at the time-course of the phloretin uptake. At a 2% hematocrit, the half time for phloretin uptake is 8.7s, corresponding to a permeability coefficient of 2 x 10(-4) cm/s. The concentration dependence of the binding to ghosts reveals two saturable components. Phloretin binds with high affinity (K diss = 1.5 muM) to about 2.5 x 10(6) sites per cell; it also binds with lower affinity (Kdiss = 54 muM) to a second (5.5 x 10(7) per cell) set of sites. In sonicated total lipid extracts of red cell ghosts, phloretin binding consists of a single, saturable component. Its affinity and total number of sites are not significantly different from those of the low affinity binding process in ghosts. No high affinity binding of phloretin is exhibited by the red cell lipid extracts. Therefore, the high affinity phloretin binding sites are related to membrane proteins, and the low affinity sites result from phloretin binding to lipid. The identification of these two types of binding sites allows phloretin effects on protein-mediated transport processes to be distinguished from effects on the lipid region of the membrane. 相似文献

The present investigation reports on the hexose transport properties of human myoblasts isolated from normal subjects and from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Similar to rat myoblast L6, normal human myoblasts possess a high- (HAHT) and a low- (LAHT) affinity hexose transport system. The non-metabolizable hexose analogue, 2-deoxyglucose, is preferentially taken up by HAHT. The transport of this analogue is the rate-limiting step in the uptake process. This human myoblast HAHT is also similar to that of the rat myoblast in its substrate specificity and in response to the energy uncouplers, cytochalasin B and phloretin. The human myoblast LAHT resembles that of rat myoblast in its insensitivity to energy uncouplers, and in its transport affinity and capacity for 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. Although DMD myoblasts resemble their normal counterpart in their ability to differentiate, they differ significantly in their hexose transport properties. In addition to HAHT and LAHT present in normal human myoblast, DMD myoblasts contain a super-high-affinity hexose transport system (SHAHT). SHAHT can be detected only at very low substrate concentrations. It differs from HAHT not only in its much higher transport affinity, but also in its response to the traditional hexose transport inhibitors. For example, SHAHT can be activated by cytochalasin B and phlorizin, whereas it is more sensitive to inhibition by phloretin. Unlike HAHT, energy uncouplers are found to be ineffective in inhibiting SHAHT. It should be mentioned that SHAHT cannot be detected in myoblasts isolated from patients with other types of myopathy. The present study serves to demonstrate that more than one hexose transport system is operating in human skeletal muscle cells, as found in other cell types. 相似文献

The effects of potassium sorbate, sodium hypophosphite, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium nitrite, and linoleic acid on the germination and outgrowth of Clostridium botulinum type E spores were studied in microcultures. At pH 5.8 to 6.0 in liver veal agar, the germination rate was decreased to nearly zero with 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0% sorbate. At pH 7.0 t 7.2, these levels of sorbate afforded germination and outgrowth of abnormally shaped cells that were defective in cell division. At the high pH range, 0.5 or 1.0% hypophosphite had effects similar to those of sorbate. The use of 0.05% sodium nitrite with sorbate enhanced the lysis of outgrowing cells at pH 7.2 or lower. Emergence and elongation were inhibited by 0.05% linoleic acid with or without 1.0% sorbate at pH 7.0 to 7.2. The addition of 0.5% tripolyphosphate to media containing 1.5% sorbate at pH 7.1 prevented normal cell growth to an extent greater than with sorbate alone. 相似文献

Phloretin is an inhibitor of anion exchange and glucose and urea transport in human red cells. Equilibrium binding and kinetic studies indicate that phloretin binds to band 3, a major integral protein of the red cell membrane. Equilibrium phloretin binding has been found to be competitive with the binding of the anion transport inhibitor, 4,4′-dibenzamido-2,2′-disulfonic stilbene (DBDS), which binds specifically to band 3. The apparent binding (dissociation) constant of phloretin to red cell ghost band 3 in 28.5 mM citrate buffer, pH 7.4, 25°C, determined from equilibrium binding competition, is . Stopped-flow kinetic studies show that phloretin decreases the rate of DBDS binding to band 3 in a purely competitive manner, with an apparent phloretin inhibition constant of . The pH dependence of equilibrium binding studies show that it is the charged, anionic form of phloretin that competes with DBDS binding, with an apparent phloretin inhibition constant of 1.4 μM. The phloretin binding and inhibition constants determined by equilibrium binding, kinetic and pH studies are all similar to the inhibition constant of phloretin for anion exchange. These studies suggest that phloretin inhibits anion exchange in red cells by a specific interaction between phloretin and band 3. 相似文献

A secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) based isotopic imaging technique was used for studies of i/ total calcium stored in cancerous and normal cell lines and ii/ intracellular chemical composition (total K, Na, and Ca) in relation to DNA staining patterns in taxol-treated breast cancer cells. A Cameca IMS-3f ion microscope with 0.5 microm spatial resolution was used. Observations were made on frozen freeze-dried cells. In MCF-10A non-tumorigenic breast epithelial cells, the nucleus contained 0.6 +/- 0.10 mM and the cytoplasm 1.1 +/- 0.30 mM total calcium per unit volume (mean +/- S.D.). MCF-7 tumorigenic breast epithelial cells revealed an abnormal total calcium distribution. Their nuclei and cytoplasm were not significantly different in stored calcium concentrations (0.5 +/- 0.08 mM total calcium in the nucleus and 0.6 +/- 0.07 mM in the cytoplasm). Furthermore, in MCF-7 cells the cytoplasmic total calcium is significantly less than in MCF-10A cells. Both cell lines contained approximately 150 mM intracellular potassium and 13 mM sodium. As 80% of the cytoplasmic total calcium pool in MCF-10A cells could be released with thapsigargin, it is plausible that the calcium storage capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum in tumorigenic MCF-7 cells is compromised. Correlative SIMS and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) revealed an increase in intracellular sodium and a redistribution of calcium in taxol-arrested M-phase cells prior to any noticeable DNA fragmentation. This novel correlative approach opens new avenues of research for understanding intracellular ionic composition in relation to therapeutic cytotoxicity. Other valuable features of SIMS for cancer research shown in this study include subcellular imaging of calcium influx using 44Ca, 127I from iododeoxyuridine for S-phase recognition, and 19F from fluorinated deoxyglucose. 相似文献

When the concentrations of either calcium or of magnesium in the culture medium were increased from the normal 0.6 and 1.0 mM to 1.8 and 2.5 mM respectively mitotic activity of rat thymic lymphocytes increased. Very high (10(-4)M) ouabain concentrations abolished these mitogenic actions whilst lower (10(-7) and 10(-11)M) concentrations had no effect. However in the normal medium these lower concentrations of ouabain were themselves mitogenic. The stimulatory effect of 10(-7)M ouabain was calcium-dependent and oestradiol-blockable and that of 10(-11)M magnesium-dependent and testosterone-blockable. A 10 mM increment in extracellular sodium concentration also stimulated mitosis in these cells in a calcium-dependent manner whilst a 20 mM increment required the presence of magnesium to exert its mitogenic effect. However, when similar osmotic increments were provided by potassium and lithium salts, or sucrose no mitotic stimulation was provoked. Subtle interactions between sodium and the divalent cations are clearly involved in events which lead to mitosis and the steroids oestradiol and testosterone can somehow block these effects. 相似文献

The deformability of human erythrocytes was investigated with a rheoscope to study the role of intracellular calcium in the dynamic cytoskeletal structure. Calcium was loaded to or depleted from erythrocytes with a calcium ionophore (A 23187) in a Na- or a K-HEPES buffer. (1) After calcium loading in the Na-HEPES buffer, the cell volume of erythrocytes was greatly reduced due to dehydration. On the contrary, upon calcium-loading or -depletion in the K-HEPES buffer, the intracellular calcium content could be varied in the range of 1/4 to 3 times as much as that of control cells without the reduction of mean cell volume. Further incubation without A 23187 and calcium in the K-HEPES buffer enabled the calcium-loaded erythrocytes to restore the cell shape and the ATP concentration. (2) When intracellular calcium content was increased to above 1.5 times of the normal value, the deformability was distinctly decreased. On the other hand, the deformability was unchanged when the intracellular calcium content was reduced below the normal level. (3) The deformability, once decreased due to the calcium accumulation, was recovered by the treatment with a calmodulin inhibitor, W-7 or trifluoperazine, while these drugs were not effective on the deformability of control or calcium-depleted erythrocytes. We conclude that the membrane stiffness which influence the deformability of erythrocytes, is modulated by the intracellular calcium content through the interaction between the calcium-calmodulin complex and the cytoskeletal proteins. 相似文献

The relationship between receptor-mediated increases in the intracellular free calcium concentration [( Ca]i) and the stimulation of ion fluxes involved in fluid secretion was examined in the rat parotid acinar cell. Agonist-induced increases in [Ca]i caused the rapid net loss of up to 50-60% of the total content of intracellular chloride (Cli) and potassium (Ki), which is consistent with the activation of calcium-sensitive chloride and potassium channels. These ion movements were accompanied by a 25% reduction in the intracellular volume. The relative magnitudes of the losses of Ki and the net potassium fluxes promoted by carbachol (a muscarinic agonist), phenylephrine (an alpha-adrenergic agonist), and substance P were very similar to their characteristic effects on elevating [Ca]i. Carbachol stimulated the loss of Ki through multiple efflux pathways, including the large-conductance Ca-activated K channel. Carbachol and substance P increased the levels of intracellular sodium (Nai) to more than 2.5 times the normal level by stimulating the net uptake of sodium through multiple pathways; Na-K-2Cl cotransport accounted for greater than 50% of the influx, and approximately 20% was via Na-H exchange, which led to a net alkalinization of the cells. Ionomycin stimulated similar fluxes through these two pathways, but also promoted sodium influx through an additional pathway which was nearly equivalent in magnitude to the combined uptake through the other two pathways. The carbachol-induced increase in Nai and decrease in Ki stimulated the activity of the sodium pump, measured by the ouabain-sensitive rate of oxygen consumption, to nearly maximal levels. In the absence of extracellular calcium or in cells loaded with the calcium chelator BAPTA (bis[o-aminophenoxy]ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid) the magnitudes of agonist- or ionomycin-stimulated ion fluxes were greatly reduced. The parotid cells displayed a marked desensitization to substance P; within 10 min the elevation of [Ca]i and alterations in Ki, Nai, and cell volume spontaneously returned to near baseline levels. In addition to quantitating the activation of various ion flux pathways in the rat parotid acinar cell, these results demonstrate that the activation of ion transport systems responsible for fluid secretion in this tissue is closely linked to the elevation of [Ca]i. 相似文献

Cell volume regulation in frog urinary bladder 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
We have studied the problem of cell volume homeostasis in toad and frog urinary bladder by using electrophysiological measurements and an optical measure of cell volume. After osmotically induced swelling, urinary bladder cells spontaneously regulate their volume through a net loss of potassium, chloride, and water. During inhibition of sodium transport by amiloride the cells swell to the same extent as controls, but the volume-regulatory process is blocked. Electrophysiological results under isosmotic conditions indicate that basolateral membrane resistance increases simultaneously with the amiloride-induced rise in apical membrane resistance during transport inhibition. These independent observations indicate that inhibition of apical membrane sodium entry results in a secondary decrease in basolateral membrane potassium permeability. When cells are exposed to calcium-free, hyposmotic Ringer's solution, cell volume regulation is blocked; subsequent addition of the calcium ionophore A23187 is ineffective in restoring the regulatory process. The ionophore does induce volume regulation, however, in amiloride-inhibited, osmotically swollen cells in the presence of external calcium. Calcium thus seems to control basolateral membrane potassium permeability and may be the intracellular mediator of apical and basolateral membrane interactions. 相似文献

Sodium-dependent calcium efflux from rat liver mitochondria has been studied as a function of mitochondrial calcium loads (2 to 40 nmol/mg) and extramitochondrial sodium concentrations (5 to 40 mM). The resulting data can be fit to a terreactant model which exhibits simultaneous kinetics (i.e. both sodium and calcium must be bound simultaneously for transport to occur). The Hill coefficients for the calcium and sodium dependences were 1.0 +/- 0.1 and 2.0 +/- 0.2, respectively. The cooperativity of the sodium dependence allows the terreactant model to be reduced to a bireactant model in which the sodium concentration only appears mathematically as the square of the sodium concentration. The data then fit the relationship (Formula: see text) The experimentally determined value of Vmax is found to be 2.6 +/- 0.5 nmol/mg/min, and the load of calcium (KCa) and concentration of sodium (KNa) necessary to stimulate the efflux to half its maximal calcium-dependent activity and sodium-dependent activity, respectively, were 8.1 +/- 1.4 nmol of Ca2+/mg and 9.4 +/- 0.6 mM Na+. This sodium-dependent calcium efflux from liver mitochondria was inhibited by magnesium, by ruthenium red, and by tetraphenylphosphonium. Fifty percent inhibition was obtained at 1.0-1.5 mM magnesium, at 12 nmol of ruthenium red/mg of protein, and at 0.2 microM tetraphenylphosphonium. 相似文献

The physiological success of fluid-secreting tissues relies on a regulated interplay between Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) and K(+) channels. Parotid acinar cells express two types of Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels: intermediate conductance IK1 channels and maxi-K channels. The IK1 channel is encoded by the K(Ca)3.1 gene, and the K(Ca)1.1 gene is a likely candidate for the maxi-K channel. To confirm the genetic identity of the maxi-K channel and to probe its specific roles, we studied parotid glands in mice with the K(Ca)1.1 gene ablated. Parotid acinar cells from these animals lacked maxi-K channels, confirming their genetic identity. The stimulated parotid gland fluid secretion rate was normal, but the sodium and potassium content of the secreted fluid was altered. In addition, we found that the regulatory volume decrease in acinar cells was substantially impaired in K(Ca)1.1-null animals. We examined fluid secretion from animals with both K(+) channel genes deleted. The secretion rate was severely reduced, and the ion content of the secreted fluid was significantly changed. We measured the membrane potentials of acinar cells from wild-type mice and from animals with either or both K(+) channel genes ablated. They revealed that the observed functional effects on fluid secretion reflected alterations in cell membrane voltage. Our findings show that the maxi-K channels are critical for the regulatory volume decrease in these cells and that they play an important role in the sodium uptake and potassium secretion process in the ducts of these fluid-secreting salivary glands. 相似文献
