Esophageal epithelial cells contain an apical cation channel that actively absorbs sodium ions (Na(+)). Since these channels are exposed in vivo to acid reflux, we sought the impact of high acidity on Na(+) channel function in Ussing-chambered rabbit epithelium. Serosal nystatin abolished short-circuit current (I(sc)) and luminal pH titrated from pH 7.0 to pH > or = 2.0 had no effect on I(sc). Circuit analysis at pH 2.0 showed small, but significant, increases in apical and shunt resistances. At pH < 2.0, I(sc) increased whereas resistance (R(T)) decreased along with an increase in fluorescein flux. The change in I(sc), but not R(T), was reversible at pH 7.4. Reducing pH from 7.0 to 1.1 with H(2)SO(4) gave a similar pattern but higher I(sc) values, suggesting shunt permselectivity. A 10:1 Na(+) gradient after nystatin increased I(sc) by approximately 4 muAmps/cm(2) and this declined at pH < or = 3.5 until it reached approximately 0.0 at pH 2.0. Impedance analysis on acid-exposed (non-nystatin treated) tissues showed compensatory changes in apical (increase) and basolateral (decrease) resistance at modest luminal acidity that were poorly reversible at pH 2.0 and associated with declines in capacitance, a reflection of lower apical membrane area. In esophageal epithelium apical cation channels transport Na(+) at gradients as low as 10:1 but do not transport H(+) at gradients of 100,000:1 (luminal pH 2.0). Luminal acid also inhibits Na(+) transport via the channels and abolishes it at pH 2.0. These effects on the channel may serve as a protective function for esophageal epithelium exposed to acid reflux. 相似文献

Seventeen-day chick embryos were divided into 5 groups and treated as follows: (1) untreated, (2) yolk-sac injected with 0.1 ml of saturated trypan blue solution solution in sterile saline, (3) saline, (4) hypoxia, i.e., 10.5% oxygen, and (5) hypoxia plus trypan blue. After 5 h hypoxia-treated embryos had an increased mortality rate, severe hypoglycemia, reduced blood pH, elevated plasma potassium, and reduced CO2 content. Trypan blue treatment induced few deaths and few physiological imbalances. Hypoxia plus trypan blue was without synergistic effects and had effects that did not differ significantly from hypoxia alone. This lack of response of 17-day chick embryos to high doses of trypan blue may be related to a marked decline in oxygen consumption by the yolk at this age. 相似文献

High affinity phlorizin binding to the LLC-PK1 cells exhibits a sodium:phlorizin stoichiometry of 2:1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The phlorizin binding properties of luminal membrane vesicles isolated from the LLC-PK1 cells, a continuous epithelial cell line derived from pig kidney, are studied. Scatchard analysis of this binding indicates the existence of a single high affinity sodium-dependent site with KD = 0.4 microM at 266 mM sodium. The specificity properties of this site indicate that it represents the binding of phlorizin to the hexose binding site of the sodium-dependent D-glucose transporter previously identified in this cell line. Both phlorizin equilibrium binding and the rate of phlorizin binding were found to be sigmoidal functions of sodium concentration. A Hill analysis of these data was consistent with a sodium:phlorizin stoichiometry of 2:1 in good agreement with the sodium:glucose stoichiometry already established in these cells. Phlorizin dissociation was also found to be sodium-dependent. On the basis of the phlorizin binding data presented here, a number of models of the binding of phlorizin and sodium to the transporter can be excluded. An analysis of a random binding model consistent with the data is presented. The significance of the LLC-PK1 sodium-dependent D-glucose transporter as a model system for related renal and intestinal transporters is discussed. 相似文献

Whether hyperthermia (temperature, 40 degrees C), salicylates, acetaminophen or phenacetin has an adverse effect on polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) function was examined. Migration experiemnts were carried out in Boyden chambers with bacterial chemotactic factor as the attract, and bactericidal assays were done with Staphylococcus aureus and serum from an AB blood group donor as a source of opsonins. PMNL viability was determined by the trypan blue exclusion method. Neither hyperthermia nor any of the drugs tested affected PMNL viability adversely, but sodium salicylate and phenacetin suppressed PMNL migration. Early staphylococcal killing was greater at 40 degrees C; however, after 2 hours the converse was true. Bactericidal activity was suppressed by acetylsalicylic acid, sodium salicylate and phenacetin. Hence it appears PMNL function is similar at 37 degrees and 40 degrees C but that some commonly used antipyretics have an adverse effect on PMNL activity. 相似文献

Concanavalin A enhanced the rat rectal absorption of phenol red and cefoxitin at pH 7.4 and the uptake of cefoxitin into brush border membrane vesicles prepared from rat rectal membrane. The enhancing action of concanavalin A demonstrated a sodium ion dependency and was inhibited by the presence of 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonate stilbene and phlorizin. This inhibition suggests the involvement of the membrane protein fraction. 相似文献

Sugars are critical substrates for insect metabolism, but little is known about the transporters and epithelial routes that ensure their constant supply from dietary resources. We have characterized glucose and fructose uptakes across the apical and basolateral membranes of the isolated larval midgut of the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi. The uptake of radiolabeled glucose at the basal side of the epithelium was almost suppressed by 200 microM cytochalasin B, uninhibited by phlorizin, and showed the following decreasing rank of specificity for the tested substrates: glucose > glucosamine > fructose, with no recognition of galactose. These functional properties well agree with the expression of GLUT2-like transporters in this membrane. When the apical surface of the epithelium was also exposed to the labeled medium, a cation-dependent glucose uptake, inhibited by 10 microM phlorizin and by an excess of galactose, was detected suggesting the presence in the apical membrane of a cation-dependent cotransporter. Radiolabeled fructose uptakes were only partially inhibited by cytochalasin B. SGLT1-like and GLUT5-like transporters were detected in the apical membranes of the epithelial cell by immunocytochemical experiments. These results, along with the presence of GLUT2-like transporters both in the apical and basolateral cell membranes of the midgut, as we recently demonstrated, allow us to conclude that the model for sugar transepithelial transport in A. ervi midgut appears to be unexpectedly similar to that recently proposed for sugar intestinal absorption in mammals. 相似文献

Prostacyclin (PGI2) and the PGE family alleviate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and limit oxidative damage. The cardioprotective effects of PGI2 have been traditionally ascribed to activation of IP receptors. Recent advances in prostanoid research have revealed that PGI2 can bind not only to IP, but also to EP, receptors, suggesting cross talk between PGI2 and PGEs. The mechanism(s) whereby PGI2 protects myocytes from oxidative damage and the specific receptors involved remain unknown. Thus fresh isolated adult rat myocytes were exposed to 200 microM H2O2 with or without carbaprostacyclin (cPGI2), IP-selective agonists, and ONO-AE-248 (an EP3-selective agonist). Cell viability was assessed by trypan blue exclusion after 30 min of H2O2 superfusion. cPGI2 and ONO-AE-248 significantly improved cell survival during H2O2 superfusion; IP-selective agonists did not. The protective effect of cPGI2 and ONO-AE-248 was completely abrogated by pretreatment with 5-hydroxydecanoate or glibenclamide. In the second series of experiments, the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel opener diazoxide (Dx) reversibly oxidized flavoproteins in control myocytes. Exposure to prostanoid analogs alone had no effect on flavoprotein fluorescence. A second application of Dx in the presence of cPGI2 or ONO-AE-248 significantly increased flavoprotein fluorescence compared with Dx alone, but IP-selective agonists did not. This study demonstrates that PGI2 analogs protect cardiac myocytes from oxidative stress mainly via activation of EP3. The data also indicate that activation of EP3 receptors primes the opening of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels and that this mechanism is essential for EP3-dependent protection. 相似文献

Uptake of sodium cefoxitin, D-phenylalanine and insulin into human red blood cells was significantly enhanced by the presence of salicylate and 5-methoxysalicylate in the medium. The mechanism of adjuvant action appeared to depend on an affinity between the adjuvant and the protein fraction in the erythrocyte membrane. The inhibitory effect of DIDS and phlorizin on the salicylate-enhanced uptake of these compounds strongly suggests that the ability of salicylate to permeate the membrane may be essential for it to act as an adjuvant. 相似文献

Studies on the mechanism of trypan blue teratogenicity in the rat developing in vivo and in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Trypan blue is a potent teratogen in vivo and in vitro in the rat. Many of the abnormalities produced by trypan blue--including swollen neural tube and pericardium, subectodermal blisters, hematomas, and generalized edema--may result from altered fluid balance in and around the embryo. The present study demonstrates relationships between changes in the fluid environment around the embryo and appearance of anomalies. Rat embryos were exposed in utero or in vitro to trypan blue during the early period of organogenesis. Both exposures resulted in defects that are typical of trypan blue treatment. Osmolality of exocoelomic fluid (ECF) was measured on gestation day 10 in vivo and day 12 in vitro, both after 48 hr of exposure to trypan blue. In both cases ECF osmolality was significantly lower than controls. This was correlated with the presence of edema-related anomalies in the embryo. On gestation day 11 in vivo, three days after maternal injection of trypan blue, ECF osmolalities were significantly higher than controls; however, there was tremendous variability in this parameter in day 11 treated embryos, and some had ECF osmolalities below the control range. Increased frequency of abnormalities was correlated with abnormal ECF osmolality, below and above the control range. Trypan blue probably exerts its teratogenic effects by disturbing the function of the visceral yolk sac. The movements of an amino acid and a monosaccharide across the visceral yolk sac were measured on gestation day 12 embryos in vitro. This aspect of yolk sac function was not altered by trypan blue exposure. Ultrastructure of the visceral yolk sac was observed after trypan blue exposure in vivo and in vitro. Endodermal cells in trypan blue-treated yolk sacs contained fewer large, electron dense lysosomes than controls. These were replaced by numerous small vacuoles, which may contain trypan blue. Trypan blue causes osmotic changes in the rat embryo in vivo and in vitro. These changes are correlated with embryonic malformations. Alterations in yolk sac ultrastructure indicate that trypan blue affects the function of this membrane. 相似文献

Aims
Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in protecting cells against oxidative damage. ABCC1 protein transports GSH. Although this protein is largely studied in cancer, due to multidrug resistance phenotype, its role in the tubular cells of the kidney is unknown. The goal of this study was to find out whether ABCC1 has a role in protecting cells from the distal nephron against the stress caused by high medullar osmolality.Main Methods
MA104 cells were treated with high concentrations of sodium chloride, urea, or both to raise the osmolality of the culture medium. Cell viability was accessed by MTT and trypan blue assays. ABCC1 expression and extrusion of carboxi-fluorescein (CF), a fluorescent ABCC1 substrate, were measured by flow cytometry.Key Findings
Incubation of MA104 cells in a high sodium concentration medium resulted in changes in cell granularity and altered expression and activity of ABCC1. Urea did not alter ABCC1 expression or activity, but reversed the observed NaCl effects. High sodium concentrations also had a negative effect on cell viability and urea also protected cells against this effect.Significance
Our findings demonstrate that ABCC1 plays a significant role in the protection of kidney epithelial cells against the stress caused by high sodium environment present in renal medulla. 相似文献12.

Human tracheo-bronchial epithelium obtained from autopsy, surgery, and organ donation will have areas of both viable and non-viable cells. It is important in the initial establishment of epithelial explant and cell cultures that injured, non-viable mucosal epithelium not be used for the cultures. Autopsy cases selected for culture should initially be chosen on the basis of a shorter post mortem interval and cause of death in order to increase the rate of successful culture. Staining the epithelium with the vital dye, trypan blue, in combination with phase contrast microscopy of the bronchial tissues will further identify those areas of the mucosa that are enriched for viable cells. The dead, non-viable areas are trypan blue positive, while the viable areas are clear and have foci of beating, motile cilia. Treatment of the mucosal tissue with mucolytic agents to remove cell debris, dead cells, and microbes trapped in the mucus material will further improve the chances for successful culture. Human tracheo-bronchial epithelium, although non-sterile and often injured at time zero for numerous reasons, can effectively be used in in vitro pathophysiology studies. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that salicylates can change the ion permeability of root cells. Therefore the possible effects of exogenous salicylate application on lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) accumulation and its protective role against DNA damage due to metal exposure in Lemna gibba were studied. L. gibba was exposed to 5, 10, and 25 microM Pb and Cu for six days in the presence and absence of sodium salicylate (SA) (0.1, 0.5, and 1 mM). At all concentrations tested, SA application decreased Pb accumulation. On the other hand, application of 0.5 mM SA increased Cu accumulation. SA did not reduce DNA damage resulting from Pb and Cu toxicity. In summary, SA may be useful for reducing Pb accumulation, and application of SA at 0.5 mM may be useful for the phytoextraction of Cu. 相似文献

Ovariectomized rats were treated with oestradiol-17 beta and/or progesterone to mimic the hormonal parameters inducing uterine sensitivity for implantation. The degree of pinocytosis of trypan blue and ferritin in the endometrial cells was examined. Significant epithelial pinocytosis of trypan blue occurred after a 3-day treatment of progesterone, and uptake was independently increased by priming with oestrogen and by oestradiol given on the 3rd day of progesterone treatment. Progesterone treatment caused uptake of ferritin by the epithelial cells; in control animals epithelial and stromal cells were involved. Oestrogen priming enhanced ferritin absorption, while 'nidatory' oestrogen had no effect. Oestradiol given alone completely blocked pinocytosis of both intraluminally injected substances. 相似文献

The inactivation of the renal outer cortical brush-border membrane D-glucose transporter by the covalent carboxyl reagent N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) is studied by monitoring its effects on sodium-dependent phlorizin binding to the active site of the carrier. In the presence of EEDQ, this component of phlorizin binding decreases exponentially and irreversibly with time. The order of this inactivation reaction is very close to 1, indicating that EEDQ modifies the transporter at a single essential site. This site can be partially protected by glucose and by other substrates of the transporter and completely protected by phlorizin, a nontransported competitive inhibitor. By contrast, sodium, a co-transported activator, has no protective effect. The concentration dependence of the protection provided by glucose and phlorizin indicates that the site of action of EEDQ is at or closely related to the substrate binding site on the carrier. The effects of EEDQ on the transporter are mimicked by another carboxyl specific reagent, 1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate. The rate of inactivation of the transporter by EEDQ increases dramatically with decreasing pH, consistent with the hypothesis that the rate-limiting step in the inactivation process is a reaction with an essential carboxyl group. The properties of this group indicate, however, that it is distinct from the carboxyl group proposed by others as forming (a part of) the sodium binding site of sodium-coupled sugar carriers. 相似文献

In its natural coastal and estuarine environments, the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, often encounters hypoxia, accompanied by hypercapnia (increased CO2) and an associated decrease in water pH. Previous studies have shown that exposure to hypercapnic hypoxia (HH) impairs the crab's ability to remove culturable bacteria from its hemolymph. In the present study we demonstrate that the activity of phenoloxidase (PO), an enzyme critical to antibacterial immune defense in crustaceans, is decreased at the low levels of hemolymph O2 and pH that occur in the tissues of blue crabs exposed to HH. Hemocyte PO activity was measured at tissue O2 levels that occur in normoxic (5% and 15% O2, approximate venous and arterial hemolymph, respectively) and hypoxic (1% O2) crabs and compared to PO activity in air-saturated conditions (21% O2). PO activity decreased by 33%, 49% and 70% of activity in air at 15%, 5% and 1% O2, respectively. When O2 was held at 21% and pH lowered within physiological limits, PO activity decreased with pH, showing a 16% reduction at pH 7.0 as compared with a normoxic pH of 7.8. These results suggest that decreased PO activity at low tissue O2 and pH compromises the ability of crustaceans in HH to defend themselves against microbial pathogens. 相似文献
