The effect of changing the K+ concentration in the bathing media was studied in the bullfrog antrum. Usually increasing K+ on the nutrient side in standard Cl- -containing and Cl- -free solutions decreased the transmucosal potential difference (nutrient became more negative) - a normal effect. Similar results were obtained on the secretory side. Moreover, for K+ changes on the nutrient side in Cl- media, a plot of magnitude of delta V vs. log [K+] was linear for [K+] greater than 20 mM with slope of 27 mV per 10-fold change in [K+]. However, after bathing the mucosa in Cl- media with zero K+ for about 20 min, elevating the nutrient [K+] to 4 mM increased the potential difference (V) by 4.8 mV in 5 min and repeating the same sequence increased V by 6.9 mV in 5 min - both anomalous effects. Beyond 20 mM K+ the response was normal. In SO2-4 media, an anomalous potential difference of about 1 mV was obtained for changes from 0 to 3 or 6 mM nutrient K+. Ouabain (1 X 10(-3) M) in the nutrient solution abolished the anomalous response in Cl- and SO2-4 media. The normal response is attributed to passive, conductance pathways and the anomalous response because of the effect of ouabain, to a (Na+ + K+)-ATPase pump on the nutrient-facing membrane in which more Na+ than K+ ions are transported per cycle. 相似文献

Subcellular localization of prostaglandin E2 binding sites in bovine adrenal medulla 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Effect of changing [K+], [Na+] and [Cl-] in nutrient solution on potential difference (PD) and resistance was studied in bullfrog antrum with and without nutrient HCO3(-) but with 95% O2/5% CO2 in both cases. In both cases, changing from 4 to 40 mM K+ gave about the same initial PD maximum (anomalous response) which was followed by a decrease below control level. Latter effect was much less with zero than with 25 mM HCO3(-). Changing from 102 to 8 mM Na+ gave initial normal PD response about the same in both cases. However, 10 min later the change in PD with zero HCO3(-) was insignificant but with 25 mM HCO3(-) the PD decreased (anomalous response of electrogenic NaCl symport). PD maxima due to K+ and Na+ were largely related to (Na+ + K+)-ATPase pump. Changes in nutrient Cl- from 81 to 8.1 mM gave only a decrease in PD (normal response). Initial PD increases are explained by relative increases in resistance of simple conductance pathways and of parallel pathways of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase pump and Na+/Cl- symport. Removal of HCO3(-) and concurrent reduction of pH modify resistance of these pathways. 相似文献

This paper presents electrophysiological evidence that small changes in [K+]o modulate the activity of the Na+-K+ pump on the apical membrane of the frog retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). This membrane also has a large relative K+ conductance so that lowering [K+]o hyperpolarizes it and therefore increases the transepithelial potential (TEP). Ba2+, a K+ channel blocker, eliminated these normal K+-evoked responses; in their place, lowering [K+]o evoked an apical depolarization and TEP decrease that were blocked by apical ouabain or strophanthidin. These data indicate that Ba2+ blocked the major K+ conductance(s) of the RPE apical membrane and unmasked a slowing of the normally hyperpolarizing electrogenic Na+-K+ pump caused by lowering [K+]o. Evidence is also presented that [K+]o modulates the pump in the isolated RPE under physiological conditions (i.e., without Ba2+). In the intact retina, light decreases subretinal [K+]o and produces the vitreal-positive c-wave of the electroretinogram (ERG) that originates primarily in the RPE from a hyperpolarization of the apical membrane and TEP increase. When Ba2+ was present in the retinal perfusate, the apical membrane depolarized in response to light and the TEP decreased so that the ERG c-wave inverted. The retinal component of the c-wave, slow PIII, was abolished by Ba2+. The effects of Ba2+ were completely reversible. We conclude that Ba2+ unmasks a slowing of the RPE Na+-K+ pump by the light-evoked decrease in [K+]o. Such a response would reduce the amplitude of the normal ERG c-wave. 相似文献

Many studies of electrogenic Na+ pumping in Purkinje strands have involved intracellular Na+ loading by exposure to 0 mM K+, followed by reexposure to K+. For sheep Purkinje strands the K+ concentration for half-maximal stimulation (K0.5) in such studies is higher than K0.5 of canine Purkinje strands. A model was developed to determine if gradients in the K+ concentration of extracellular fluid layers during enhanced pump activity can account for the discrepancy. Pump activity was assumed linearly dependent on [Na+]i and dependent on [K+]o, according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The model simulated diffusion of K+ across unstirred layers and both depletion and accumulation of K+ in extracellular clefts of Purkinje strands during changes in the K+ concentration of the tissue bath. Errors in estimates of K0.5 occurred when delay in achieving a steady state extracellular K+ concentration was simulated. The simulations suggested that a linear relationship between pump current and intracellular Na+, a monoexponential decay of pump current, independence of the rate constants for the current decay on the initial Na+ load and holding potential, and apparent Michaelis-Menten K+ kinetics is not sufficient evidence against pump-induced interstitial K+ depletion having introduced errors in determination of K0.5. It is concluded that interstitial K+ depletion may account for the difference between determinations of K0.5 in sheep and canine Purkinje strands. 相似文献

The present paper concerns with ion homeostatic reactions in view of stimulus-secretion coupling of the beta-cell, including Ca2+ fluxes of the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER). A steady state of cytosolic sodium and potassium ion concentrations ([Na+]c and [K+]c, respectively), and of the membrane potential (Delta c phi) can be attained only, if the flux through the electrogenic Na-K pump (JNaK) is balanced electrically, and if JNaK is rather high (about 25% of total ATP consumption at 10 mM glucose). Metabolically caused changes of cellular pH are unlikely, because, on the one hand, CO2 can rapidly leave the cell through cellular membranes, and because ATP cycling cannot produce nor consume protons. A slight decrease of pHc during cellular activity is caused mainly by an increased Ca-H exchange flux through the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump (J PMCA), which might be overcome, however, by H+ transport into secretory granules. The present simulations show that the conductance of ATP-sensitive K+ channels (K ATP) is highly susceptible to changes of [Mg2+]c. As a physical link between the Ca2+ filling state of the ER and the initiation of a depolarising, Ca2+ release-activated current (I CRAN), a metabolite (inositol 1,4,-diphosphate (IP2)) of the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) cycle is introduced. Sufficient ATP for insulin secretion is made available during glucose activation by [IP2] inhibition of a parallel [ATP]c consuming flux through protein biosynthesis (J Pbs). This leads to fast oscillations with a triphasic patterns of [Ca2+]c oscillations. Slow oscillations are initiated by including a Ca2+ leak current through highly uncoupled SERCA3 pumps. Both types of oscillations may superimpose yielding compound bursting and mixed oscillations of [Ca2+]c. 相似文献

In general, increasing K+ on the nutrient side decreases the transmucosal PD (nutrient becomes more negative) but after bathing the mucosa in zero K+ media for about 30 min, or longer, elevation of K+ on the nutrient side increases the PD, an anomalous effect. In Cl- media, increasing nutrient K+ from zero to 4 mM produces an increase in PD (an anomalous response) of 3.1 and 5.3 mV in 2 and 5 min, respectively. Ouabain (10(-3) M) to the nutrient side abolished the anomalous response as did removal of Na+ (choline for Na+) from bathing media. In SO4(2-) media (SO4(2-) for Cl-), a significant anomalous PD response was observed when K+ on the nutrient side was increased from zero to 1, 2 or 3 mM but not to higher K+ concentrations. In this case, ouabain also abolished the anomalous response. It is postulated, on the basis of the effects of ouabain and the use of choline media, that an electrogenic (Na+ + K+)-ATPase pump is present on the nutrient-facing membrane in which more Na+ than K+ are transported per cycle. 相似文献

Potassium effects on contraction in arterial smooth muscle mediated by Na+, K+-ATPase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
F J Haddy 《Federation proceedings》1983,42(2):239-245
A local increase in the extracellular potassium concentration [K+]o, up to about 8 meq/liter either by topical application or intra-arterial infusion of K+ salts, causes arteriolar dilation and decreased resistance to blood flow in systemic vascular beds. Isolated vascular smooth muscle responds to a similar increase in [K+] in the bathing fluid with relaxation if the preparation has some initial active tension. Reduction in [K+] over physiological ranges produces arteriolar constriction and increased resistance to blood flow. K+ vasodilation is accompanied by hyperpolarization of the smooth muscle cell whereas the vasoconstriction is accompanied by depolarization. All these responses can be blocked by ouabain, a potent Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor. It is therefore thought that K+ vasodilation results from stimulation of the electrogenic Na+-K+ pump whereas the vasoconstriction results from inhibition of this pump. A number of conditions that alter resistance also alter interstitial fluid [K+]. These include exercise, myocardial ischemia, epileptic convulsions, and evoked electrical activity of the somatomotor cortex. Certain findings, including those during administration of ouabain, suggest that changes in [K+] contribute significantly to some of the changes in resistance. 相似文献

Depolarizing K+ and medium hyposmolarity caused striking rises in both cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) and prolactin (PRL) secretion in GH4C1 cells, which were completely blocked by removal of medium Ca2+. However, the increase in [Ca2+]i and PRL secretion induced by hyposmolarity was clearly slower than that induced by K+. Although there was a good correlation between the zenith of PRL secretion and [Ca2+]i induced by various intensities of K+ or hyposmolarity, the regression slopes were significantly different between the K(+)-and hyposmolarity-induced changes (P less than 0.01). There was a good correlation between the maximum rate of change in PRL secretion and that of the increase in [Ca2+]i when the data from the 2 secretagogues were combined (r = 0.994, P less than 0.001, N = 9). We suggest that the rate of increase in [Ca2+]i may be more important than the amplitude of [Ca2+]i in stimulating PRL secretion. 相似文献

Effect of activation of muscarinic receptors on intracellular free calcium and secretion in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Stimulation of the nicotinic receptor of bovine chromaffin cells results in a rise in intracellular free calcium [( Ca2+]i) and subsequent release of catecholamine. This response is totally dependent on the presence of external Ca2+. Monitoring [Ca2+]i using quin-2 demonstrated a rise in [Ca2+]i in response to muscarinic agonists which was approximately 4-times less than that obtained in response to nicotinic stimulation. This atropine-sensitive [Ca2+]i rise occurred after a 10-s lag and was found to be independent of the external Ca2+, implying the existence of an intracellular Ca2+ source. Despite producing this [Ca2+]i rise low concentrations of the muscarinic agonist, methacholine (under 1 X 10(-3) M), failed to trigger secretion itself and did not effect the secretory response elicited by nicotine. Challenging the cells with higher methacholine concentrations (over 1 X 10(-3) M) resulted in the same [Ca2+]i rise, no secretion, but an inhibition of secretion due to nicotine. This latter response, however, was found to be atropine-insensitive and therefore non-muscarinic. The [Ca2+]i rise and secretion due to depolarization by 55 mM K+ were largely unaffected by prior addition 1 X 10(-2) M methacholine, inferring that high concentrations of methacholine inhibit nicotine-induced secretion by interacting with the nicotinic receptor. These results provide evidence consistent with the existence of an intracellular Ca2+ store mobilized by muscarinic receptor activation in bovine chromaffin cells and show that, despite causing a rise in [Ca2+]i, bovine chromaffin cell muscarinic stimulation does not effect secretion itself or secretion induced by either nicotine or high K+. 相似文献

The effects of extracellular K+ on endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) and on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were examined in mouse aorta, mouse aorta endothelial cells (MAEC), and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In mouse aortic rings precontracted with prostaglandin F2alpha or norepinephrine, an increase in extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o) from 6 to 12 mM inhibited EDR concentration dependently. In endothelial cells, an increase in [K+]o inhibited the agonist-induced [Ca2+]i increase concentration dependently. Similar to K+, Cs+ also inhibited EDR and the increase in [Ca2+]i concentration dependently. In current-clamped HUVEC, increasing [K+]o from 6 to 12 mM depolarized membrane potential from -32.8 +/- 2.7 to -8.6 +/- 4.9 mV (n = 8). In voltage-clamped HUVEC, depolarizing the holding potential from -50 to -25 mV decreased [Ca2+]i significantly from 0.95 +/- 0.03 to 0.88 +/- 0.03 microM (n = 11, P < 0.01) and further decreased [Ca2+]i to 0.47 +/- 0.04 microM by depolarizing the holding potential from -25 to 0 mV (n = 11, P < 0.001). Tetraethylammonium (1 mM) inhibited EDR and the ATP-induced [Ca2+]i increase in voltage-clamped MAEC. The intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel openers 1-ethyl-2-benzimidazolinone, chlorozoxazone, and zoxazolamine reversed the K+-induced inhibition of EDR and increase in [Ca2+]i. The K+-induced inhibition of EDR and increase in [Ca2+]i was abolished by the Na+-K+ pump inhibitor ouabain (10 microM). These results indicate that an increase of [K+]o in the physiological range (6-12 mM) inhibits [Ca2+]i increase in endothelial cells and diminishes EDR by depolarizing the membrane potential, decreasing K+ efflux, and activating the Na+-K+ pump, thereby modulating the release of endothelium-derived vasoactive factors from endothelial cells and vasomotor tone. 相似文献

The role of protons as substitutes for Na+ and/or K+ in the sodium pump reaction was examined using inside-out membrane vesicles derived from human red cells. Na+-like effects of protons suggested previously (Blostein, R. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 829-833) were substantiated by the following observations: (i) in the absence of extravesicular (cytoplasmic) Na+, an increase in cytoplasmic [H+] increased both strophanthidin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis (nu) and the steady-state level of phosphoenzyme, EP, and (ii) as [H+] is increased, the Na+/ATP coupling ratio is decreased. K+-like effects of protons were evidenced in the following results: (i) an increase in nu, decrease in EP, and hence increase in EP turnover (nu/EP) occur when intravesicular (extracellular) [H+] is increased; (ii) an increase in the rate of Na+ influx into K+(Rb+)-free inside-out vesicles and (iii) a decrease in Rb+/ATP coupling occur when [H+] is increased. Direct evidence for H+ being translocated in place of cytoplasmic Na+ and extracellular K+ was obtained by monitoring pH changes using fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran-filled vesicles derived from 4',4-diisothiocyano-2',2-stilbene disulfonate-treated cells. With the initial pHi = pHo = pH 6.2, a strophanthidin-sensitive decrease in pHi was observed following addition of ATP provided the vesicles contained K+. This pH gradient was abolished following addition of Na+. With alkali cation-free inside-out vesicles, a strophanthidin-sensitive increase in pH was observed upon addition of both ATP and Na+. The foregoing changes in pHi were not affected by the addition of tetrabutylammonium to dissipate any membrane potential and were not observed at pH 6.8. These ATP-dependent cardiac glycoside-sensitive proton movements indicate Na,K-ATPase mediated Na+/H+ exchange in the absence of extracellular K+ as well as H+/K+ exchange in the absence of cytoplasmic Na+. 相似文献

Coupling of Li+ distribution to the plasma membrane potential of rat cortical synaptosomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
G Schmalzing 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1986,261(2):650-656
The effect of the plasma membrane potential delta psi p on the transport rate and steady state distribution of Li+ was assessed in rat cortical synaptosomes. Up to 15 mM Li+ failed to saturate Li+ influx into polarized synaptosomes in a Na+-based medium with 3 mM external K+. Veratridine increased and tetrodotoxin, ouabain, or high external K+ decreased the rate of Li+ influx. At steady state, Li+ was concentrated about 3-fold in resting synaptosomes at 0.3 to 1 mM Li+ externally. Subsequent depolarization of the plasma membrane by veratridine or high external K+ induced an immediate release of Li+. When graded depolarizations were imposed onto the plasma membrane by varying concentrations of ouabain, veratridine, or external K+, steady state distribution of Li+ was linearly related with K+ distribution or electrochemical activity coefficients. It was concluded that uptake rate and steady state distribution of Li+ depend significantly on delta psi p. However, Li+ gradients were lower than predicted from delta psi p, suggesting that (secondary) active transport systems counteracted passive equilibration by uphill extrusion of Li+. The electrochemical potential difference delta mu Li+ maintained at a delta psi p of -72 mV was calculated to 4.2 kJ/mol of Li+. At physiological external K+, Li+ was not actively transported by the sodium pump. The ouabain sensitivity resulted from the coupling of Li+ uptake to the pump-dependent K+ diffusion potential. In low K+ and K+-free media, however, active transport of Li+ by the sodium pump contributed to total uptake. In the absence of K+, Li+ substituted for K+ in generating a delta psi p of -64 mV maximally, as calculated from TPMP+ distribution at 40 mM external Li+. Since Li+ gradients were far too low to account for a diffusion potential, it was assumed that Li+ gave rise to an electrogenic pump potential. 相似文献

In Necturus gallbladder epithelium, lowering serosal [Na+] ([Na+]s) reversibly hyperpolarized the basolateral cell membrane voltage (Vcs) and reduced the fractional resistance of the apical membrane (fRa). Previous results have suggested that there is no sizable basolateral Na+ conductance and that there are apical Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels. Here, we studied the mechanisms of the electrophysiological effects of lowering [Na+]s, in particular the possibility that an elevation in intracellular free [Ca2+] hyperpolarizes Vcs by increasing gK+. When [Na+]s was reduced from 100.5 to 10.5 mM (tetramethylammonium substitution), Vcs hyperpolarized from -68 +/- 2 to a peak value of -82 +/- 2 mV (P less than 0.001), and fRa decreased from 0.84 +/- 0.02 to 0.62 +/- 0.02 (P less than 0.001). Addition of 5 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA+) to the mucosal solution reduced both the hyperpolarization of Vcs and the change in fRa, whereas serosal addition of TEA+ had no effect. Ouabain (10(-4) M, serosal side) produced a small depolarization of Vcs and reduced the hyperpolarization upon lowering [Na+]s, without affecting the decrease in fRa. The effects of mucosal TEA+ and serosal ouabain were additive. Neither amiloride (10(-5) or 10(-3) M) nor tetrodotoxin (10(-6) M) had any effects on Vcs or fRa or on their responses to lowering [Na+]s, suggesting that basolateral Na+ channels do not contribute to the control membrane voltage or to the hyperpolarization upon lowering [Na+]s. The basolateral membrane depolarization upon elevating [K+]s was increased transiently during the hyperpolarization of Vcs upon lowering [Na+]s. Since cable analysis experiments show that basolateral membrane resistance increased, a decrease in basolateral Cl- conductance (gCl-) is the main cause of the increased K+ selectivity. Lowering [Na+]s increases intracellular free [Ca2+], which may be responsible for the increase in the apical membrane TEA(+)-sensitive gK+. We conclude that the decrease in fRa by lowering [Na+]s is mainly caused by an increase in intracellular free [Ca2+], which activates TEA(+)-sensitive maxi K+ channels at the apical membrane and decreases apical membrane resistance. The hyperpolarization of Vcs is due to increase in: (a) apical membrane gK+, (b) the contribution of the Na+ pump to Vcs, (c) basolateral membrane K+ selectivity (decreased gCl-), and (d) intraepithelial current flow brought about by a paracellular diffusion potential. 相似文献

The effect of Na+-K+ pump activation on endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) and on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was examined in mouse aorta and mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs). The Na+-K+ pump was activated by increasing extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o) from 6 to 12 mM. In aortic rings, the Na+ ionophore monensin evoked EDR, and this EDR was inhibited by the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX; reverse mode) inhibitor KB-R7943. Monensin-induced Na+ loading or extracellular Na+ depletion (Na+ replaced by Li+) increased [Ca2+]i in MAECs, and this increase was inhibited by KB-R7943. Na+-K+ pump activation inhibited EDR and [Ca2+]i increase (K+-induced inhibition of EDR and [Ca2+]i increase). The Na+-K+ pump inhibitor ouabain inhibited K+-induced inhibition of EDR. Monensin (>0.1 microM) and the NCX (forward and reverse mode) inhibitors 2'4'-dichlorobenzamil (>10 microM) or Ni2+ (>100 microM) inhibited K+-induced inhibition of EDR and [Ca2+]i increase. KB-R7943 did not inhibit K+-induced inhibition at up to 10 microM but did at 30 microM. In current-clamped MAECs, an increase in [K+]o from 6 to 12 mM depolarized the membrane potential, which was inhibited by ouabain, Ni2+, or KB-R7943. In aortic rings, the concentration of cGMP was significantly increased by acetylcholine and decreased on increasing [K+]o from 6 to 12 mM. This decrease in cGMP was significantly inhibited by pretreating with ouabain (100 microM), Ni2+ (300 microM), or KB-R7943 (30 microM). These results suggest that activation of the forward mode of NCX after Na+-K+ pump activation inhibits Ca2+ mobilization in endothelial cells, thereby modulating vasomotor tone. 相似文献

Using K+-selective microelectrodes, [K+]o was measured in the subretinal space of the isolated retina of the toad, Bufo marinus. During maintained illumination, [K+]o fell to a minimum and then recovered to a steady level that was approximately 0.1 mM below its dark level. Spatial buffering of [K+]o by Müller (glial) cells could contribute to this reaccumulation of K+. However, superfusion with substances that might be expected to block glial transport of K+ had no significant effect upon the reaccumulation of K+. These substances included blockers of gK (TEA+, Cs+, Rb+, 4-AP) and a gliotoxin (alpha AAA). Progressive slowing of the rods' Na+/K+ pump (perhaps caused by a light-evoked decrease in [Na+]i) also could contribute to this reaccumulation of K+ by reducing the uptake of K+ from the subretinal space. As evidence for a major contribution by this mechanism, treatments designed to prevent such slowing of the pump reversibly blocked reaccumulation. These treatments included superfusion with 2 microM ouabain, or lowering [K+]o, PO2, or temperature. It is likely that such treatments inhibit the pump, increase [Na+]i, and attenuate any light-evoked decrease in [Na+]i. The results are consistent with the following hypothesis. At light onset, the decrease in rod gNa will reduce the Na+ influx and the resulting rod hyperpolarization will reduce the K+ efflux. In combination with these reduced passive fluxes, the continuing active fluxes will lower both [K+]o and [Na+]i, which in turn will inhibit the pump. In support of this hypothesis, the solutions to a pair of coupled differential equations that model changes in both [K+]o and [Na+]i match quantitatively the time course of the observed changes in [K+]o during and after maintained illumination for all stimuli examined. 相似文献

Transport of K+ by the photoreceptor Na(+)-Ca2+, K+ exchanger was investigated in isolated rod outer segments (OS) by recording membrane current under whole-cell voltage-clamp conditions. Known amounts of K+ were imported in the OS through the Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels while perfusing with high extracellular concentration of K+, [K+]o. These channels were detected in the recordings from the OS, which probably retained a small portion of the rest of the cell. The activation of forward exchange (Na+ imported per Ca2+ and K+ extruded) by intracellular K+, Ki+, was described by first-order kinetics with a Michaelis constant, Kapp(Ki+), of about 2 mM and a maximal current, Imax, of about -60 pA. [Na+]i larger than 100 mM had little effect on Kapp(Ki+) and Imax, indicating that Nai+ did not compete with Ki+ for exchange sites under physiological conditions, and that Na+ release at the exchanger intracellular side was not a rate-limiting step for the exchange process. Exchanger stoichiometry resulted in one K+ ion extruded per one positive charge imported. Exchange current was detected only if Ca2+ and K+ were present on the same membrane side, and Na+ was simultaneously present on the opposite side. Nonelectrogenic modes of ion exchange were tested taking advantage of the hindered diffusion found for Cai2+ and Ki+. Experiments were carried out so that the occurrence of a putative nonelectrogenic ion exchange, supposedly induced by the preapplication of certain extracellular ion(s), would have resulted in the transient presence of both Cai2+ and Ki+. The lack of electrogenic forward exchange in a subsequent switch to high Nao+, excluded the presence of previous nonelectrogenic transport. 相似文献

The present study aimed at comparing the effects of glucose on ionic and secretory events in freshly isolated and 5-7 day cultured rat pancreatic islets. The capacity of glucose to provoke insulin release was severely reduced in islets maintained in culture. Whether in freshly isolated or cultured islets, glucose provoked a marked and sustained decrease in 45Ca2+ outflow from islets deprived of extracellular Ca2+. In the presence of extracellular Ca2+ throughout, the magnitude of the glucose-induced secondary rise in 45Ca2+ outflow was reduced in cultured islets. Glucose provoked a weaker increase in [Ca2+]i in islet cells obtained from cultured islets than in islet cells dissociated from freshly isolated pancreatic islets. On the other hand, the stimulatory effect of carbamylcholine on 45Ca2+ outflow was unaffected by tissue culture. Lastly, in islet cells obtained from cultured islets, the increase in [Ca2+]i evoked by K+ depolarization averaged half of that observed in control experiments. These results indicate that the reduced secretory potential of glucose in cultured pancreatic islets can be ascribed to the inability of the nutrient secretagogue to provoke a suitable increase in Ca2+ influx. 相似文献

The rate of active H+ secretion (JH) across the luminal cell membrane of the turtle bladder decreases linearly with the chemical (delta pH) or electrical potential gradient (delta psi) against which secretion occurs. To examine the control of JH from the cell side of the pump, acid-base changes were imposed on the cellular compartment by increasing serosal[HCO3-] at constant PCO2 or by varying PCO2 at constant [HCO3-]. When serosal [HCO3-] was increased from 0 to 60 mM, cell [H+] decreased, as estimated by the 5,5-dimethyloxazoladine-2,4- dione method. JH was a saturable function of cell [H+], with an apparent Km of 25 nM. When PCO2 was varied between 1 and 20% at various serosal Km of 25 nM. When PCO2 was varied between 1 and 20% at various serosal [HCO3-], the PCO2 required to reach a maximal JH increased with [HCO3-] so that JH was a function of cell [H+] rather than of cell [HCO3-] or CO2. The proton pump was controlled asymmetrically with respect to the pH component of the electrochemical potential for protons, microH. On the cell side of the pump, a delta pH of < 1 U was required to vary JH between maximal and zero values, whereas on the luminal side a delta pH of 3 U was required. Cell [H+] regulates JH by determining the availability of H+ to the pump in a relationship resembling Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Increasing luminal [H+] generates an energy barrier at a luminal pH near 4.4 that equals the free energy (per H+ translocated) of the metabolic driving reaction. 相似文献

Net taurine transport across the frog retinal pigment epithelium-choroid was measured as a function of extracellular potassium concentration, [K+]o. The net rate of retina-to-choroid transport increased monotonically as [K+]o increased from 0.2 mM to 2 mM on the apical (neural retinal) side of the tissue. No further increase was observed when [k+]o was elevated to 5 mM. The [K+]o changes that modulate taurine transport approximate the light-induced [K+]o changes that occur in the extracellular space separating the photoreceptors and the apical membrane of the pigment epithelium. The taurine-potassium interaction was studied by using rubidium as a substitute for potassium and measuring active rubidium transport as a function of extracellular taurine concentration. An increase in apical taurine concentration, from 0.2 mM to 2 mM, produced a threefold increase in active rubidium transport, retina to choroid. Net taurine transport can also be altered by relatively large, 55 mM, changes in [Na+]o. Apical ouabain, 10(-4) M, inhibited active taurine, rubidium, and potassium transport; in the case of taurine, this inhibition is most likely due to a decrease in the sodium electrochemical gradient. In sum, these results suggest that the apical membrane contains a taurine, sodium co-transport mechanism whose rate is modulated, indirectly, through the sodium pump. This pump has previously been shown to be electrogenic and located on the apical membrane, and its rate is modulated, indirectly, by the taurine co-transport mechanism. 相似文献

The effect of changing [K+], [Na+] and [Cl-] in nutrient solution was studied in bullfrog antrum with and without HCO3- in nutrient. In 25 mM HCO3- (95% O2/5% CO2) and in zero HCO3- (100% O2), nutrient pH was maintained at 7.3. Changing from 4 to 40 mM K+ or from 81 to 8.1 mM Cl- gave a decrease 10 min later in transmucosal PD (nutrient became more negative)--a normal response. These responses were less in zero than in 25 mM HCO3-. A decrease from 102 to 8 mM Na+ decreased PD (anomalous response of electrogenic NaCl symport). This effect was attenuated or eliminated in zero HCO3-. In contrast, change from 4 to 40 mM K+ gave initial anomalous PD response and change from 102 to 8 mM Na+, initial normal PD response with either zero or 25 mM HCO3-. Both responses were associated with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase pump and were greater in zero than in 25 mM HCO3-. Initial PD increases in zero HCO3- are explained as due to increase in the resistance of passive conductance and/or NaCl symport pathways. Thus, removal of HCO3- modifies conductance pathways of nutrient membrane. 相似文献
