Effects of hypothermic hypoxia on anaerobic energy metabolism in isolated anuran livers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Many lower vertebrates (reptilian and amphibian species) are capable of surviving natural episodes of hypoxia and hypothermia.
It is by specific metabolic adaptations that anurans are able to tolerate prolonged exposure to harsh environmental stresses.
In this study, it was hypothesized that livers from an aquatic frog would possess an inherent metabolic ability to sustain
high levels of ATP in an isolated organ system, providing insight into a metabolic system that is well-adapted for low temperature
in vitro organ storage. Frogs of the species, R. pipiens were acclimated at 20 °C and at 5 °C. Livers were preserved using a clinical preservation solution after flushing. Livers
from 20 °C-acclimated frogs were stored at 20 °C and 5 °C and livers from 5 °C-acclimated frogs were stored at 5 °C. The results
indicated that hepatic adenylate status was maintained for 96 h during 5 °C storage, but not longer than 4–10 h during 20 °C
storage. In livers from 5 °C-acclimated animals subjected to 5 °C storage, ATP was maintained at 100% throughout the 96-h
period. Warm acclimation (20 °C) and 20 °C storage resulted in poorer maintenance of ATP; energy charge values dropped to
0.50 within 2 h and by 24 h, only 24% of control ATP remained. Lactate levels remained less than 25 μ mol/g dry weight in
all 5 °C-stored livers; 20 °C-stored livers exhibited greater accumulation of this anaerobic end-product (lactate reached
45–50 μ mol/g by 10 h). The data imply that hepatic adenylate status is largely dependent on exposure to hypothermic hypoxia
and although small amounts of ATP were accounted for by anaerobic glycolysis, there must have been either a substantial reduction
in cellular energy-utilization or an efficient use of low oxygen tensions.

Anaerobic metabolism in the limnic annelid Hirudo medicinalis L. was investigated by direct and indirect calorimetry. During long-term severe hypoxia, the rate of heat dissipation was reduced up to 13% of the aerobic rate. At the same time, the rate of ATP turnover was reduced to about 30% of the aerobic rate, indicating that metabolic depression is an important mechanism to ensure survival of the leech during environmental anaerobiosis. Heat dissipation during hypoxia was monitored under two experimental conditions, favouring either concomitant hypocapnia (continuous N2 bubbling) or hypercapnia (self-induced hypoxia). The reduction in heat dissipation during hypocapnic hypoxia was less pronounced than during hypercapnic hypoxia, indicating that the different experimental conditions may influence anaerobic metabolism and the extent of metabolic depression. Biochemical analysis of known anaerobic substrates and endproducts provided the basis for indirect calorimetry during self-induced hypoxia. From changes in metabolites, the expected heat dissipation was calculated for initial (0–8 h) and long-term severe hypoxia (8–72 h). During the initial period, the calculated heat dissipation fully accounted for direct calorimetric determination. During long-term hypoxia, only 71% of the measured heat production could be explained from biochemical analysis of metabolites. Therefore, an additional unknown endproduct cannot be excluded, especially when anaerobic ammonia production and analysis of the carbohydrate balance are considered.Abbreviations

Summary Microcalorimetric measurements of brine shrimp embryos during 6 days of anoxia indicated that heat dissipation was rapidly suppressed to 2.7% of control (aerobic) values over the first 9 h. Energy flow continued to decline slowly to 31 W·g dry mass-1 (0.4% of control) during the subsequent 5.5 days. Within 2 h after returning anoxic embryos to aerobic conditions, heat dissipation rose to 77% of control rates. The calorimetric/respirometric (CR) ratio across this 2-h recovery period increased steadily from-226 to-346 kJ·mol O

). During the 6-day asymptotic approach to a nearly ametabolic state, trehalose and glycogen levels declined 18% and 13%, respectively. The majority of this utilization occurred within the first three days. Thermochemical calculations showed that carbohydrate catabolism accounted for 84% of the total heat dissipation measured over the 6-day anoxic bout; only 3% of the heat could be explained by the catabolism of diguanosine tetraphosphate (Gp4G). Analyses of embryo extracts by high performance liquid chromatography indicated that multiple acid end products were accumulated. Lactate and propionate reached 4.5 mM and 1.0 mM, respectively, but these compounds did not account quantitatively for the amount of carbohydrate utilized. However, the largest chromatographic peak that accumulated under anoxia has not been successfully identified. Fumarate and pyruvate levels decreased as anoxia proceeded. Thus, a perceptible energy flow inArtemia franciscana embryos still remained after 6 days of anoxia. While an ametabolic state may be reached with time, the length of this prolonged transition into anaerobic dormancy has not been appreciated before. 相似文献

Synaptosomes were isolated from the motor area of the cerebral cortex of normoxic or hypoxic (PaO2=17–19 mmHg, for 15 min) beagle dogs of different ages. Synaptosomes were incubated in Krebs-Henseleit-Hepes buffer (for 10 min at 24°C) and the energetic state was defined by: the balance of the labile phosphates (ATP, ADP, AMP, and creatine phosphate); the respiratory rate; the redox state of the intramitochondrial NAD-couple. By the present experimental model, it is possible to evaluate the potential damage (induced by the in vivo hypoxic insult) that synaptosomes cannot reverse under optimal incubation. Aging affected the phosphorylation state of the post-hypoxic incubated synaptosomes. The oxygen consumption rate was quite similar in the synaptosomal fractions from the motor area of hypoxic beagle dogs of different ages, but the cytochromec anda contents were lower in the preparations from hypoxic older brains. In dogs of different ages, hypoxia always lowered the respiration of the synaptosomes, but aging affected the oxygen consumption rates only in post-hypoxic synaptosomes incubated with succinate. The synaptosomal energetic state was defined also by the redox state of the intramitochondrial NAD-couple (Gox-red) and the phosphorylation state of adenine nucleotide system (GATP). The free-energy change (G) for the coupled reactions was calculated, too. In synaptosomes isolated from the cerebral cortex of dogs submitted to hypoxia, the equilibrium (calculated for the mitochondrial electron transfer chain and the phosphorylation of adenine nucleotides) was markedly altered as function of aging. The extensive age-related G changes were largely supported by alteration of the phosphorylation state of adenine nucleotides, rather than by modification of the redox state of the electron transfer chain.All present data suggest that the bioenergetic derangement caused by hypoxia and aging may be interpreted also in terms of modification of the biophysical and biochemical mechanisms involving the mitochondrial membranes and particularly the inner mitochondrial membrane.Special Issue Dedicated to Dr. Abel Lajtha. 相似文献

Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism in a facultative anaerobe Ep01 lacking cytochrome, quinone and catalase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Abstract A facultative anaerobe, strain Ep01 produced a mixture of pyruvate, formate, acetate and ethanol from glucose anaerobically, and acetate and pyruvate aerobically. Cell extract of anaerobic-grown cells contained active pyruvate formatelyase, aldehyde dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase, while cell extract of aerobic grown cells contained an active pyruvate dehydrogenase system, NaDH oxidase and NADH peroxidase. Levels of acetate kinase and phosphate acetyltransferase activities were not significantly different in cells grown under either condition. Based on the metabolic products and the emzyme activities, we propose the presence of two metabolic pathways in strain Ep01, namely, a pathway to form formate, acetate and ethanol under anaerobic conditions, and a pathway to form under aerobic conditions. This explains why strain Ep01 can grow well both under strictly anaerobic conditions and well-aerated conditions. 相似文献

The possible involvement of NtrA in the expression of several anaerobically induced genes in Salmonella typhimurium was investigated. Unlike Escherichia coli, where hydrogenase 3 is ntrA dependent, the introduction of a mutation in ntrA had virtually no effect on the hydrogenase activity, thought to be hydrogenase 3, of S. typhimurium LT7. Fumarate reductase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities were found to be diminished in ntrA mutant strains, but this may very well be indirect since fdhF mutant strains showed the same effect. These results suggest that in S. typhimurium NtrA is highly specific for the anaerobic expression of fdhF. 相似文献

The activity of adsorbed β-glucosidase onto spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPBs) is investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). By comparing the results of these two methods, we demonstrate that ITC is a precise method for the study of the activity of immobilized enzymes. The carrier particles used for immobilization here consist of a polystyrene core onto which poly(acrylic acid) chains are grafted. High amounts of enzyme can be immobilized in the brush layer at low ionic strength by the polyelectrolyte-mediated protein adsorption (PMPA). Analysis of the activity of β-glucosidase was done in terms of Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Moreover, the enzymatic activity of immobilized enzyme is studied by ITC using cellobiose as substrate. All data show that ITC is a general method for the study of the activity of immobilized enzymes. 相似文献

We examined the energy status, nitrogen metabolism and hepatic glutamate dehydrogenase activity in the African lungfish Protopterus annectens during aestivation in normoxia (air) or hypoxia (2% O(2) in N(2)), with tissues sampled on day 3 (aerial exposure with preparation for aestivation), day 6 (entering into aestivation) or day 12 (undergoing aestivation). There was no accumulation of ammonia in tissues of fish exposed to normoxia or hypoxia throughout the 12-day period. Ammonia toxicity was avoided by increased urea synthesis and/or decreased endogenous N production (as ammonia), but the dependency on these two mechanisms differed between the normoxic and the hypoxic fish. The rate of urea synthesis increased 2.4-fold, with only a 12% decrease in the rate of N production in the normoxic fish. By contrast, the rate of N production in the hypoxic fish decreased by 58%, with no increase in the rate of urea synthesis. Using in vivo (31)P NMR spectroscopy, it was demonstrated that hypoxia led to significantly lower ATP concentration on day 12 and significantly lower creatine phosphate concentration on days 1, 6, 9 and 12 in the anterior region of the fish as compared with normoxia. Additionally, the hypoxic fish had lower creatine phosphate concentration in the middle region than the normoxic fish on day 9. Hence, lowering the dependency on increased urea synthesis to detoxify ammonia, which is energy intensive by reducing N production, would conserve cellular energy during aestivation in hypoxia. Indeed, there were significant increases in glutamate concentrations in tissues of fish aestivating in hypoxia, which indicates decreases in its degradation and/or transamination. Furthermore, there were significant increases in the hepatic glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) amination activity, the amination/deamination ratio and the dependency of the amination activity on ADP activation in fish on days 6 and 12 in hypoxia, but similar changes occurred only in the normoxic fish on day 12. Therefore, our results indicate for the first time that P. annectens exhibited different adaptive responses during aestivation in normoxia and in hypoxia. They also indicate that reduction in nitrogen metabolism, and probably metabolic rate, did not occur simply in association with aestivation (in normoxia) but responded more effectively to a combined effect of aestivation and hypoxia. 相似文献

Beneficial effects of supplemental buffer and substrate on energy metabolism during small bowel storage 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Successful preservation of small bowel (SB) is closely correlated with the maintenance of cellular energetics. This study was designed to assess the ability of a modified UW solution supplemented with buffer and glucose to facilitate ATP production during cold storage. In part A, rats SB (n = 4) were flushed vascularly as follows: Group 1, UW solution (control); Group 2, HUW solution (UW+90 mM histidine). Inclusion of histidine resulted in a >3-fold increase in buffering capacity over the pH range 7.4-6.8. Positive effects of histidine on ATP and energy charge were apparent after 4-10h storage. Examination of the key regulatory enzyme, Phosphofructokinase (PFK), reflected a sustained activation was over 1-4h in the HUW group only. In part B, groups were vascularly flushed as follows: Group 1, HUW solution (control); Group 2, Group 1+20mM glucose; and Group 3, Group 2+luminal flush. Elevated ATP and total adenylates over 2-10h in Group 3 compared to control were a direct consequence of improved glycolytic activity. This data supports the hypothesis that tissue energetics can be significantly improved during cold storage using a histidine-buffered UW solution supplemented with carbohydrate substrate. 相似文献

Wheat genotypes show contrasting abilities to recover from anoxia in spite of similar anoxic carbohydrate metabolism 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Physiological and metabolic responses to anoxia and reaeration were compared for 4–7-day-old seedlings of 11 genotypes of wheat (Triticum aestivum) with reputed differences in waterlogging tolerance. Genotypes differed in seminal root elongation, and recovery of root tissue K+ concentration, during reaeration following 72 h anoxia. Post-anoxic recovery ranged from complete (100% retention of seminal root elongation potential) to almost nil (death of all seminal root apices and inability to recover K+ concentration). The anoxia tolerance ranking of the genotypes based on these parameters corresponded with that of their reputed waterlogging tolerance, but with some exceptions. However, the differences in anoxia tolerance of the seedlings could not be explained by differences in capacity for ethanol production. A decreased ability to utilise seed starch reserves under anoxia, due to inadequate levels of -amylase activity at the time anoxia was imposed, was apparent in all genotypes. 相似文献

Changes in tolerances to hypoxia and sodium azide, an indicator of cellular respiration, and activities of various energy metabolism-related chemical components were studied in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus during its early life stages from 3.5 to 20.5 mm in total length (TL). They showed flexion stage around 10.4 mm TL. Lethal levels of hypoxia increased with growth from 3.5 to 8 mm total TL, and the levels remained high in larvae, until 10.4 mm TL, decreased significantly thereafter. The 50% lethal concentration of sodium azide temporarily increased at 4.5 mm TL, diminished drastically between 4.5 and 10.4 mm TL, and then increased again in post-flexion larvae. Cytochrome c oxidase activity was highest in larvae around flexion, at 10.4 mm TL, and subsequently decreased. In post-flexion larvae at 13.0 mm TL, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase activities increased; LDH activity decreased at the juvenile stage. The adenosine triphosphate content and energy charge in fish were consistently higher in the larval stage than in the juvenile stage. These results indicated that, from just before flexion to the post-flexion stage, the energy metabolism of larvae is higher due to activated aerobic and subsequent anaerobic metabolism for metamorphosis; as a consequence, hypoxia tolerance in fish is the lowest during the increase of aerobic metabolism just before and around flexion. 相似文献

Experimental supply-demand analysis of yeast fermentative energy metabolism shows that control of the glycolytic flux is shared between supply and demand. In glucose limited chemostat cultures the supply block was modulated in a dilution rate change and demand block via a benzoic acid titration. Under these conditions the supply block had a flux control of 0.90 and the demand block a flux control of 0.10. 相似文献

Although the concept of a metabolic rate is readily understood, actual measurement of metabolism has proved much more difficult. The numerous strategies for estimation of metabolic rate all result in an incomplete accounting. Respirometry or gas exchange is the most widely used approach but mostly ignores the anaerobic component. Here, we describe a readily-built and low cost direct heat calorimeter that may be coupled with standard respirometry equipment to provide a more complete portrait of metabolism. The device is sensitive and provides a predictable measurement of heat flow from an organism. 相似文献

Tabebuia cassinoides (Lam.) DC (Bignoniaceae) is an arboreal species common in seasonally or permanently waterlogged areas of the “restinga” forest (a type of forest that occurs on the sandbanks of the coastal plains of southeastern Brazil). The objectives of the present study were to establish seed germination responses of this species to flooding and anoxia and investigate the end products of the anaerobic metabolism of seeds subjected to these conditions, with the goal of understanding the adaptive strategies that enable this species to dominate flood prone areas of “restinga”, as well as determine reserves stored in their seeds. Seeds of T. cassinoides did not germinate under anoxia or complete submergence, but remained viable under these conditions for 15 and 20 days, respectively. Due to their membranaceous wings, the seeds float very well and reached 100% germination in this condition, an important adaptation to overcome the initial stages of development in flooded habitats. In relation to anaerobic metabolism, ethanol is the most important end product, while lactate is produced in lower concentrations. Seeds of T. cassinoides have very little endosperm and the reserves, mainly glycoproteins, lipids and free sugars, accumulate in the cotyledons. Free sugars may provide the substrate for the initial metabolism of seed germination, but the level of these reserves was not enough to allow germination under oxygen deprivation. Possibly, carbohydrate reserves were enough only to maintain seed viability for a relative short period under this condition. 相似文献

The maximal aerobic power (VO2max) and maximal anaerobic capacity (AODmax) of 16 female rowers were compared to their peak aerobic power (VO2peak) and peak anaerobic capacity (AODpeak, respectively) during a simulated 2-km race on a rowing ergometer. Each subject completed three tests, which included a 2-min maximal effort bout to determine the AODmax, a series of four, 4-min submaximal stages with subsequent progression to VO2max and a simulated 2-km race. Aerobic power was determined using an open-circuit system, and the accumulated oxygen deficit method was used to calculate anaerobic capacities from recorded mechanical power on a rowing ergometer. The average VO2peak (3.58 l min(-1)), which usually occurred during the last minute of the race simulation, was not significantly different (P > 0.05) from the VO2max (3.55 l min(-1)). In addition, the rowers' AODmax (3.40 l) was not significantly different (P > 0.05) from their AODpeak (3.50 1). The average time taken for the rowers to complete the 2-km race simulation was 7.5 min, and the anaerobic system (AODpeak) accounted for 12% of the rowers' total energy production during the race. 相似文献

Protein synthesis by rice coleoptiles during prolonged anoxia: implications for glycolysis, growth and energy utilization 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Anoxia-tolerant plant tissues synthesize a number of proteins during anoxia, in addition to the 'classical anaerobic proteins' involved in glycolysis and fermentation. The present study used a model system of rice coleoptile tips to elucidate patterns of protein synthesis in this anoxia-tolerant plant tissue. METHODS: Coleoptile tips 7-11 mm long were excised from intact seedlings exposed to anoxia, or excised from hypoxically pre-treated seedlings and then exposed to anoxia for 72 h. Total proteins or 35S-labelled proteins were extracted, separated using two-dimensional isoelectric focusing/SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and analysed using mass spectrometry. KEY RESULTS: The coleoptile tips excised after intact seedlings had been exposed to anoxia for 72 h had a similar proteome to tips that were first excised and then exposed to anoxia. After 72 h anoxia, Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitors and a glycine-rich RNA-binding protein decreased in abundance, whereas a nucleoside diphosphate kinase and several proteins with unknown functions were strongly enhanced. Using [35S]methionine as label, proteins synthesized at high levels in anoxia, and also in aeration, included a nucleoside diphosphate kinase, a glycine-rich RNA-binding protein, a putative elicitor-inducible protein and a putative actin-depolymerizing factor. Proteins synthesized predominately in anoxia included a pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK), alcohol dehydrogenase 1 and 2, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase and a protein of unknown function. CONCLUSION: The induction of PPDK in anoxic rice coleoptiles might, in combination with pyruvate kinase (PK), enable operation of a 'substrate cycle' producing PPi from ATP. Production of PPi would (a) direct energy to crucial transport processes across the tonoplast (i.e. the H+-PPiase); (b) be required for sucrose hydrolysis via sucrose synthase; and (c) enable acceleration of glycolysis, via pyrophosphate:fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (PFP) acting in parallel with phosphofructokinase (PFK), thus enhancing ATP production in anoxic rice coleoptiles; ATP production would need to be increased if there was a substantial requirement for PPi. 相似文献

Summary The oxygen consumption rate of Scapharca inaequivalvis measured under normoxic conditions over 48 h showed a significant daily cycle with lowest values occurring shortly after the dark period; all hypoxia exposure experiments were carried out during the declining part of the cycle. Animals were exposed to a constant level of hypoxia for a 12-h period in a series of 14 experiments, each at a different oxygen tension. The oxygen consumption was measured continuously, and the extent of accumulation of end-products (succinate and propionate), and the inhibitory effect of adenosine triphosphate on phosphofructokinase were determined at the end of exposures. All three parameters (oxygen consumption, end-product accumulation, phosphofructokinase inhibition) showed a remarkable correlation with major changes occurring between 2.5 and 1.5 ppm (7 and 4 kPa) O2. The oxygen consumption rates showed a drop to 6% of the normoxic rate, but a consistent low consumption remained below 2 ppm (5.5 kPa) which partly recovered over the 12-h exposure period by about three-fold. Succinate and propionate accumulated progressively between 2.5 and 1.5 ppm (7 and 4 kPa); at [O2]<1.5 ppm (4kPa) the concentration did not increase further, indicating that anaerobic metabolism had reached a maximum. Over the same range, phosphofructokinase showed an increased sensitivity for adenosine triphosphate, the lower inhibitor concentration at 50% V
max value pointing to depression of glycolytic rate. Despite the activation of anaerobic metabolism and the evident depression of aerobic metabolism, simple calculation demonstrates that Scapharca inaequivalvis relies mainly on aerobic metabolism even during severe hypoxia. It is assumed that the occurrence of haemoglobin in this species is essential for its capacity to survive long periods of hypoxia.Abbreviations ATP
