To examine the signals regulating cardiac growth and molecular structure of subcellular organelles, cardiac hypertrophy was induced in rats by constriction of the abdominal aorta for 12-13 wk or by treatment with a carnitine palmitoyltransferase I inhibitor, etomoxir (12-15 mg/kg body wt) for 12-13 wk. In contrast to pressure overload, etomoxir redistributed the myosin isozyme population from V3 to V1 and increased the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-stimulated ATPase activity. When rats with pressure-overloaded hearts were treated with etomoxir, the cardiac hypertrophy was increased whereas the shift in myosin isozymes from V1 to V3 was prevented and the depression in SR Ca(2+)-stimulated ATPase activity was reversed. Plasma thyroid hormone and insulin concentrations were not altered but triglyceride concentrations were reduced in etomoxir-treated rats with pressure overload. The data demonstrate a dissociation between cardiac muscle growth and changes in subcellular organelles and indicate that a shift in myocardial substrate utilization may represent an important signal for molecular remodeling of the heart.  相似文献

The effects of different dietary fat intake on the lipid composition and enzyme behaviour of sarcolemmal (Na+ + K+)ATPase and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase from rat heart were investigated. Rat diets were supplemented with either sunflower seed oil (unsatd./satd. 5.6) or sheep kidney fat (unsatd./satd. 0.8). Significant changes in the phospholipid fatty acid composition were observed in both membranes after 9 weeks dietary lipid treatment. For both membranes, the total saturated/unsaturated fatty acid levels were unaffected by the dietary lipid treatment, however the proportions of the major unsaturated fatty acids were altered. Animals fed the sunflower seed oil diet exhibited an increase in n-6 fatty acids, including linoleic (18:2(n-6] and arachidonic (20:4(n-6] while the sheep kidney fat dietary rats were higher in n-3 fatty acids, principally docosahexaenoic (22:6), with the net result being a higher n-6/n-3 ratio in the sunflower seed oil group compared to sheep kidney fat dietary animals. Fluorescence polarization indicated that the fluidity of sarcoplasmic reticular membrane was greater than that of sarcolemmal membrane, with a dietary lipid-induced decrease in fluidity being observed in the sarcoplasmic reticular membrane from sheep kidney fat dietary animals. Despite these significant changes in membrane composition and physical properties, neither the specific activity nor the temperature-activity relationship (Arrhenius profile) of the associated ATPases were altered. These results suggest that with regard to the parameters measured in this study, the two ion-transporting ATPases are not modulated by changes which occur in the membrane lipid composition as a result of the diet.  相似文献

To further define the possible involvement of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium accumulation and release in the skeletal muscle disorder malignant hyperthermia (MH), we have examined various properties of sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions isolated from normal and MH-susceptible pig muscle. A sarcoplasmic reticulum preparation enriched in vesicles derived from the terminal cisternae, was further fractionated on discontinuous sucrose density gradients (Meissner, G. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 2365-2374). The resultant MH-susceptible and normal sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions, designated F0-F4, did not differ in yield, cholesterol and phospholipid content, or nitrendipine binding capacity. Calcium accumulation (0.27 mumol Ca/mg per min at 22 degrees C), Ca2+-ATPase activity (0.98 mumol Pi/mg per min at 22 degrees C), and calsequestrin content were also similar for MH-susceptible and normal sarcoplasmic reticulum fraction F3. To examine sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release, fraction F3 vesicles were passively loaded with 45Ca (approx. 40 nmol Ca/mg), and rapidly diluted into a medium of defined Ca2+ concentration. Upon dilution into 1 microM Ca2+, the extent of Ca2+-dependent calcium release measured after 5 s was significantly greater for MH-susceptible than for normal sarcoplasmic reticulum, 65.9 +/- 2.8% vs. 47.7 +/- 3.9% of the loaded calcium, respectively. The C1/2 for Ca2+ stimulation of this calcium release (5 s value) from MH-susceptible sarcoplasmic reticulum also appeared to be shifted towards a higher Ca2+-sensitivity when compared to normal sarcoplasmic reticulum. Dantrolene had no effect on calcium release from fraction F3, however, halothane (0.1-0.5 mM) increased the extent of calcium release (5 s) similarly in both MH-susceptible and normal sarcoplasmic reticulum. Furthermore, Mg2+ was less effective at inhibiting, while ATP and caffeine were more effective in stimulating, this Ca2+-dependent release of calcium from MH-susceptible, when compared to normal sarcoplasmic reticulum. Our results demonstrate that while sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-accumulation appears unaffected in MH, aspect(s) of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-induced calcium release mechanism are altered. Although the role of the Ca2+-induced calcium release mechanism of sarcoplasmic reticulum in situ is not yet clear, our results suggest that an abnormality in the regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release may play an important role in the MH syndrome.  相似文献

It has been demonstrated that natural and synthetic antioxidants of different chemical structures (alpha-tocopherol, butylated hydroxytoluene, 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine) were capable of stabilizing enzymatic Ca2+ transport in sarcoplasmic membranes of the heart and skeletal muscles in vivo. Chronic administration of water-soluble antioxidant 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine to young and old rats resulted in the increased rate of Ca2+ transport into sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles of the heart and skeletal muscle homogenates. Keeping rats on vitamin E-rich diets supplemented with synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene led to stabilization of Ca2+-ATPase against thermal denaturation in sarcoplasmic reticular membranes.  相似文献

The processes that trigger severe muscle atrophy and loss of myosin in critical illness myopathy (CIM) are poorly understood. It has been reported that muscle disuse alters Ca(2+) handling by the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Since inactivity is an important contributor to CIM, this finding raises the possibility that elevated levels of the proteins involved in Ca(2+) handling might contribute to development of CIM. CIM was induced in 3- to 5-mo-old rats by sciatic nerve lesion and infusion of dexamethasone for 1 wk. Western blot analysis revealed increased levels of ryanodine receptor (RYR) isoforms-1 and -2 as well as the dihydropyridine receptor/voltage-gated calcium channel type 1.1 (DHPR/Ca(V) 1.1). Immunostaining revealed a subset of fibers with elevation of RYR1 and Ca(V) 1.1 that had severe atrophy and disorganization of sarcomeres. These findings suggest increased Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum may be an important contributor to development of CIM. To assess the endogenous functional effects of increased intracellular Ca(2+) in CIM, proteolysis of α-fodrin, a well-known target substrate of Ca(2+)-activated proteases, was measured and found to be 50% greater in CIM. There was also selective degradation of myosin heavy chain relative to actin in CIM muscle. Taken together, our findings suggest that increased Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum may contribute to pathology in CIM.  相似文献

Hyperosmolality has been known to increase ANP release. However, its physiological role in the regulation of atrial myocytic ANP release and the mechanism by which hyperosmolality increases ANP release are to be defined. The purpose of the present study was to define these questions. Experiments were performed in perfused beating rabbit atria. Hyperosmolality increased atrial ANP release, cAMP efflux, and atrial dynamics in a concentration-dependent manner. The osmolality threshold for the increase in ANP release was as low as 10 mosmol/kgH2O (approximately 3%) above the basal levels (1.55 +/- 1.71, 17.19 +/- 3.11, 23.15 +/- 5.49, 54.04 +/- 11.98, and 62.00 +/- 13.48% for 10, 20, 30, 60, and 100 mM mannitol, respectively; all P < 0.01). Blockade of sarcolemmal L-type Ca2+ channel activity, which increased ANP release, attenuated hyperosmolality-induced increases in ANP release (-13.58 +/- 4.68% vs. 62.00 +/- 13.48%, P < 0.001) and cAMP efflux but not atrial dynamics. Blockade of the Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which increased ANP release, attenuated hyperosmolality-induced increases in ANP release (13.44 +/- 7.47% vs. 62.00 +/- 13.48%, P < 0.01) and dynamics but not cAMP efflux. Blockades of Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter, Na+/H+ exchanger, and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger had no effect on hyperosmolality-induced increase in ANP release. The present study suggests that hyperosmolality regulates atrial myocytic ANP release and that the mechanism by which hyperosmolality activates ANP release is closely related to the cross-talk between the sarcolemmal L-type Ca2+ channel activity and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release, possibly inactivation of the L-type Ca2+ channels.  相似文献

To define metabolic influences on cardiac myosin expression and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-stimulated ATPase streptozotocin-diabetic rats were treated for 9–10 wk with etomoxir, an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyl transferase I (CPT-1) and fatty acid synthesis, or an antilipolytic drug, acipimox. Etomoxir reduced myosin V3 of diabetic rats but did not normalize it. However, the high serum triglyceride, free-fatty acid and cholesterol concentrations in diabetic animals were greatly reduced. After bypassing the CPT-1 inhibition with a medium-chain fatty acid (miglyol) diet, the V3 contents and serum lipids were still reduced in the etomoxir-treated diabetic rats; V3 was also reduced in diabetic rats fed miglyol or treated with acipimox. Since low serum insulin or triiodothyronine concentrations in diabetic rats were not improved by these interventions but changes in V3 were correlated with those in triglyceride, free-fatty acid and cholesterol concentrations, it is likely that myosin may be influenced by some metabolic factors. To assess the role of adrenergic influences, diabetic rats (7–8 wk) were treated with an antisympathotonic drug, moxonidine, a -adrenoceptor blocking drug, propranolol, and a bradycardic drug, tedisamil. Myosin V3 was not reduced significantly in moxonidine-treated or propranolol-treated rats in comparison to untreated diabetic rats. Serum thyroid hormones and insulin were not altered, whereas triglycerides were reduced but not significantly by these antiadrenergic agents. Lowering serum lipids in diabetic rats by treatment with etomoxir, miglyol and acipimox increased the depressed SR Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity. On the other hand, in diabetic rats treated with moxonidine, propranolol or tedisamil, the ATPase activity was not increased significantly. These results suggest that normalization of blood lipids is important for improving subcellular organelle function in diabetic hearts with impaired glucose utilization.  相似文献

This study examined the effects of dietary incorporation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) into cardiac membrane phospholipids on Ca(2+) handling (using Fura-2) and arrhythmic contractility in electrically-stimulated, adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes. Dietary lipid supplementation with fish oil (FO) for 3 weeks significantly increased the proportion of total n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (in particular, docosahexaenoic acid) in ventricular membrane phospholipids compared with a saturated fat (SF) supplemented diet (26.2 +/- 0.9% vs 6.9 +/- 0.9%, respectively, P < 0.001). Cardiomyocytes isolated from the FO group were significantly (P < 0.001) less susceptible to isoproterenol-induced arrhythmic contractile activity compared with the SF group over a range of isoproterenol concentrations. Isoproterenol (0.5 &mgr;M) stimulation increased end-diastolic and systolic [Ca(2+)](i) to a similar extent in both groups. The time constant of Ca(2+) transient decay was significantly increased in the FO group compared with the SF group (98.4 +/- 2.8 ms, n = 8 and 86.9 +/- 2.1 ms, n = 8, P < 0.01, respectively). The effect of dietary n-3 PUFA incorporation into membrane phospholipids was not associated with changes in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) content (measured by rapid application of caffeine) or membrane fluidity. The increase in the time constant of decay of Ca(2+) transients following dietary supplementation with FO may indicate altered functioning of the sarcolemmal Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger by n-3 PUFA incorporation into membrane phospholipids.  相似文献

Sarcolemmal vesicles were prepared from bovine cardiac muscle by differential and discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Na+/K+-ATPase was purified 33-fold to a specific activity of 53 +/- 0.5 (12) mumol Pi X mg-1 X h-1, binding sites for strophantin 20-fold to a density of 56.3 +/- 5.3 (14) pmol/mg and that for the calcium antagonist nitrendipine 5.5-fold to a density of 0.72 +/- 0.07 (6) pmol/mg. The specific activity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger was 61.1 +/- 3.7 (6) nmol/mg. The vesicles had an intravesicular volume of 20 +/- 4 (4) microliter/mg and 56.9 +/- 6 (4)% of the vesicles were right-side-out oriented. Several peptides of the purified membranes were phosphorylated in the presence of Mg . ATP and EGTA. Most of the radioactive phosphate was incorporated into a peptide with an apparent molecular mass of 22 kDa. Denaturation of the membranes at 100 degrees C changed the mobility of this peptide to 15 kDa and 11 kDa. This peptide could not be distinguished from a sarcoplasmic reticulum peptide of similar molecular mass. The phosphorylation of the sarcolemmal peptide was stimulated by Ca2+/calmodulin, cAMP and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. A comparison of the phosphorylation of sarcolemmal membranes with that of sarcoplasmic reticulum showed that Ca2+/calmodulin stimulated in each membrane, the phosphorylation of the 22-kDa peptide and a 44-kDa peptide, and in the sarcoplasmic reticulum the phosphorylation of an additional peptide of 55-kDa. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of a 55-kDa peptide could not be demonstrated in sarcolemma, regardless if sarcolemmal membranes were incubated together with sarcoplasmic reticulum or if the phosphorylation was carried out in the presence of purified cardiac myosin light chain kinase or phosphorylase kinase. 'Depolarization' induced Ca2+ uptake which was measured according to Bartschat, D.K., Cyr, D.L. and Lindenmayer, G.E. [(1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 10044-10047] was 5 nmol/mg protein. This uptake was not enhanced after preincubation of the vesicles with Mg . ATP or Mg . ATP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The value of 5 nmol/mg protein is in agreement with the theoretical amount of Ca2+ which can be accumulated by the bovine cardiac sarcolemma in the absence of a driving force other than the Ca2+ gradient. The potassium-stimulated Ca2+ uptake was not blocked by the organic Ca2+ channel blockers. Prolonged incubation of Mg . ATP with sarcolemmal vesicles in the presence of various ATPase inhibitors led to the hydrolysis of ATP. The liberated phosphate precipitated with Ca2+ in the presence of LaCl3. These precipitates amounted to an apparent Ca2+ uptake ranging from 50 to over 1000 nmol/mg. The results suggest that potassium-stimulated Ca2+ uptake of bovine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles is not enhanced in the presence of ATP or by phosphorylation of a 22-kDa peptide.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether increased muscle activity could reverse myosin structural alterations that occur in aged rat muscle and whether those alterations could be induced in young rat muscle by decreased activity. Semimembranosus muscle activity was increased by electrical stimulation (200-ms trains, 154 Hz, 5 V) through a nerve cuff on the tibial branch of the ischiatic nerve. The protocol consisted of 5 sets of 6-10 maximal isometric contractions performed twice per week for 4 or 8-10 wk. Decreased muscle activity was induced by denervation of the semimembranosus muscle for 2 or 4 wk. Semimembranosus fibers were then studied for Ca(2+)-activated force generation. Fibers were also spin labeled on the myosin catalytic domain and studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to assess myosin structural distribution. Increased muscle activity for 4 and 8-10 wk in approximately 32-mo-old rats resulted in -16 and +4% changes in specific tension, respectively (P < 0.01). EPR spectra showed that the fraction of myosin heads in the strong-binding structural state during contraction was reduced at 4 wk (0.241 +/- 0.020 vs. 0.269 +/- 0.018, P = 0.046) but returned to normal by 8-10 wk (P = 0.67). Decreased muscle activity for 2 and 4 wk in approximately 9-mo-old rats resulted in 23 and 34% reductions, respectively, in specific tension; EPR spectra showed 16 and 35% decreases in strong-binding myosin (P < 0.01). These data support the hypothesis that changes in muscle activity affect muscle strength, at least in part through alterations in myosin structure and function.  相似文献

Experimental diabetes results in a reduction of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity and a redirection of myosin isoenzymes from V1 to V3. Similar, but less pronounced, changes were induced by subjecting rats to intermittent fasting for 6 weeks. Low amounts of sucrose (0.8%) in the drinking water prevented the subcellular changes in fasted rats; however, sucrose neither affected the levels of plasma thyroid hormones nor normalized the reduced body weight. Plasma glucose was lowered without any changes in plasma insulin in the fasted rats receiving sucrose; this suggested an enhanced peripheral glucose utilization. Thus, the signals in the diabetic heart leading to changes in SR and myosin can be mimicked by intermittent fasting and seem to be linked to a shift in fuel utilization by the myocytes.  相似文献

Supplementing the diet of rats with saflower oil or hydrogenated coconut oil resulted in marked changes in the fatty acid composition of the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum hut did not affect such properties of the sarcoplasmic reticulum as the rate of Ca2+ uptake, the total amount of Ca2+ taken up, the rate and extent of Ca2+ release in the cold, and the basal and extra ATPase activities. Both of the oil supplements resulted in large increases in the proportion of linoleic acid in the sarcoplasmic reticulum hut neither of them significantly affected the proportion of polyenoic to saturated + monoenoic fatty acids. The relisons for the unexpectedly high linoleic acid content in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the hydrogenated coconut oil supplemented rats are not known.  相似文献

Exercise conditioning increases rat myocardial calcium uptake   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
To investigate potential mechanisms underlying the enhanced myocardial performance consequent to exercise training, the adrenergic receptors of myocardial tissue and Ca2+ uptake into sarcoplasmic reticulum-enriched fractions from exercise conditioned animals were compared with that of sedentary controls. Female Wistar rats were exercised by swimming 30 min (5 days/wk) for 12 wk. Exercise conditioning was effective in producing myocardial hypertrophy, as reflected by an increase in heart weight (1.179 +/- 0.022 vs. 1.031 +/- 0.020 g, P less than 0.001) and heart weight-to-body weight ratio (3.29 +/- 0.06 vs. 2.77 +/- 0.05 X 10(-3), P less than 0.001) but no difference in body weight. Despite the myocardial hypertrophy, neither the affinity nor the density of the alpha 1-adrenergic receptors or the beta-adrenergic receptors determined by Scatchard analysis of the ligands [3H]prazosin and [3H]dihydroalprenolol were significantly different between the two groups. The basal Ca2+ uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum was also similar (9.90 +/- 0.97 vs. 9.04 +/- 0.75 nmol/mg protein/min), but the addition of calmodulin produced a significantly greater increment in Ca2+ uptake into sarcoplasmic reticulum from the exercised-conditioned animals (1.90 +/- 0.23 vs. 1.21 +/- 0.19 nmol/mg protein/min, P less than 0.03). The adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities of the sarcoplasmic reticulum-enriched fractions of the two groups were similar. We conclude that exercise conditioning produces an enhancement of calmodulin-mediated calcium uptake that is independent of any effect on Ca2+-ATPase.  相似文献

In experiments, which were carried out with the use of a radioactive label (45Ca2+) on the suspension of rat uterus myocytes treated by digitonin solution (0.1 mg/ml), influence of Mg ions and spermine on Mg2+, ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport in mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum was investigated. Ca2+ accumulation in mitochondria (1324 +/- 174 pmol Ca2+/10(6) cells for 1 min - the control) was tested as such which was not sensitive to thapsigargin (100 nM) and was blocked by ruthenium red (10 microM). Oxalate-stimulated Ca2+ accumulation in sarcoplasmic reticulum (136 +/- 17 pmol Ca2+/10(6) cells for 1 min - the control) was tested as such which was not sensitive to ruthenium red and was blocked by thapsigargin. It has been shown, that initial speed and level of energy-dependent Ca2+ accumulation in mitochondria considerably exceeded the values of these parameters for sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-accumulation system. Ca2+ accumulation kinetic in mitochondria was characterized by a steady-state phase (for 5-10 min. of incubation) while accumulation kinetic of this cation in sarcoplasmic reticulum corresponded to zero order reaction. Increase of Mg2+ concentration up to 5 mM led to activation of Ca2+-accumulation systems in mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum (values of activation constants K(Mg) for Mg2+ were 2.8 and 0.6 mM, accordingly). Concentration dependence of spermine action on Ca2+ accumulation in mitochondria was described by a dome-shaped curve with a maximum at 1 mM spermine. In case of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump only the inhibition phase was tested at spermine concentration above 1 mM. However values of inhibition constants for both transporting systems were practically identical--5.2 +/- 0.6 and 5.7 +/- 0.7 mM, accordingly. Hence, Mg ions carry out the important role in regulation of energy-dependent Ca2+ transporting systems both in uterus smooth muscle mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Spermine acts first of all on mitochondrial calcium uniporter.  相似文献

An important aspect of myocardial injury is the role of neutrophils in post-ischemic damage to the heart. Stimulated neutrophils initiate a series of reactions that produce toxic oxidizing agents. Superoxide rapidly dismutases to H2O2 and neutrophils contain myeloperoxidase which catalyzes the oxidation of Cl- by H2O2 to yield hypochlorous acid (HOCl). The highly reactive HOCl combines non-enzymatically with nitrogenous compounds to generate long-lived, non-radical oxidants, monochloramine and taurine N-monochloramine. We investigated the role of oxygen radicals and long-lived oxidants on cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum function, which plays a major role in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ and thereby in the generation of force. Incubation of sarcoplasmic reticulum with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated neutrophils (4 x 10(6) cells/ml) significantly decreased calcium uptake rate (0.85 +/- 0.11 to 0.11 +/- 0.06 mumol/min per mg) and Ca2+-ATPase activity (1.67 +/- 0.08 to 0.46 +/- 0.10 mumol/min per mg). Inclusion of myeloperoxidase inhibitors (cyanide, sodium azide and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole), catalase, superoxide dismutase plus catalase, and alpha-tocopherol significantly protected (P less than 0.01) calcium uptake rates and Ca2+-ATPase activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum. Superoxide dismutase (10 microgram/ml) alone or deferoxamine (1 mM) had no protective effect in this system. The maximum inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticulum function was observed with (3-4) x 10(6) cells/ml in 4-6 min. HOCl and NH2Cl inhibited calcium uptake rate and Ca2+-ATPase activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum in a dose-dependent manner (2-20 microM), whereas H2O2 damaged sarcoplasmic reticulum at concentrations ranging from 5 to 25 mM. HOCl (20 microM) inhibited 80-90% of Ca2+-uptake rate and Ca2+-ATPase activity and L-methionine (0.1-1 mM) provided complete protection. We conclude that stimulated neutrophils damage cardiac sarcoplasmic function by generation of myeloperoxidase-catalyzed oxidants.  相似文献

The effects of hypothyroidism on the Ca2+-transport capabilities of fast-twitch muscle (m. gastrocnemius) of the rat were studied in whole-muscle homogenate and isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum. Hypothyroidism did not affect the percentage recovery and the vesicle composition of the sarcoplasmic reticulum fraction, the total lipid and phospholipid-to-protein ratios and the protein composition (both qualitative and quantitative). Also the Ca2+-loading capacity of purified sarcoplasmic reticulum, in the presence of oxalate, and the Ca2+ and pH dependence of both the uptake reaction and the coupled ATPase activity were unchanged. However, the homogenate Ca2+-loading capacity and the Ca2+-uptake activity were depressed, as was the yield of purified sarcoplasmic reticulum. The results indicate a 31% reduction of the entire sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane system per volume of muscle. Ca2+/ATP coupling ratios, determined in purified sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles by measurement of initial rates of net Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+-Mg2+-dependent hydrolysis of ATP, were found to be 1.48 +/- 0.06 and 2.08 +/- 0.05 in the euthyroid and hypothyroid groups, respectively. Identical values were obtained with a recently described Ca2+-pulse method (Meltzer, S. and Berman, M.C. (1984) Anal. Biochem. 138, 458-464), i.e., 1.53 +/- 0.06 and 2.01 +/- 0.03 in the euthyroid and hypothyroid groups, respectively. Passive Ca2+ efflux from sarcoplasmic reticulum was the same in both groups (30 nmol/mg per min), as was the fraction of vesicles that did not show net uptake of Ca2+ (less than 10%), which makes it unlikely that these parameters provide an explanation for the differences in the coupling ratio. The energy of activation of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was increased in hypothyroidism, which may point to changes in the phospholipid environment of the enzyme. Physiological concentrations of T3 and T4 had no effect on the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase in vitro, but all observed changes in the hypothyroid state could be reversed within 14 days by administration of T3 to hypothyroid animals. Approximate calculations indicate that the observed changes in the sarcoplasmic reticulum as a result of thyroid-hormone depletion may contribute significantly to the decrease in relaxation rate and the decrease in energy consumption during contraction.  相似文献

The effects of gramicidin S (GS), an antibiotic, on the rat heart membrane ATPases and contractile activity of the right ventricle strips were investigated. GS inhibited sarcolemmal Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (IC50 = 3 microM), Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase which is activated by millimolar Ca2+ or Mg2+ (IC50 = 3.4 microM), and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (IC50 = 6 microM). The type of inhibition for the sarcolemmal Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase by GS was apparently uncompetitive, while that for Ca2+-stimulated ATPases in sarcolemma or sarcoplasmic reticulum was of mixed type. Other ATPases, including mitochondrial ATPase, sarcolemmal Na+-K+ ATPase, and myofibrillar ATPase, were not inhibited by this agent. GS also decreased the rat right ventricle maximum force development (half-maximal inhibitory concentration was 2-4 microM), maximum velocity of contraction, and maximum velocity of relaxation. The resting tension was increased by GS to over 200%. The contractile actions of GS were mostly irreversible upon washing the muscle 3 times over a 10-min period. Decreased Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+ concentrations in the perfusate increased the effects of GS. These findings showed that GS was a potent inhibitor of divalent cation ATPases of heart sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum and it is suggested that these membrane effects may explain the cardiodepressant action of this agent.  相似文献
