Fluxes catalyzed by soluble creatine kinase (MM) in equilibrium in vitro and by the creatine kinase system in perfused rat hearts were studied by 31P-NMR saturation transfer method. It was found that in vitro both forward and reverse fluxes through creatine kinase at equilibrium were almost equal and very stable to changes in phosphocreatine/creatine ratio (from 0.2 to 3.0) as well as to changes in pH (from 7.4 to 6.5 or 8.1), free Mg2+ concentration and 2-fold decrease of total adenine nucleotides and creatine pools (from 8.0 to 4.0 mM and from 30 to 14 mM, respectively). In the rat hearts perfused by the Langendorff method the creatine kinase-catalyzed flux from phosphocreatine to ATP was increased by 50% when oxygen consumption grew from 8 to 55 mumol/min per g of dry wt. due to transition from rest to high workload. These changes could not be exclusively explained on the basis of the equilibrium model by activation of heart creatine kinase due to some decrease in [phosphocreatine]/[creatine] ratio (from 1.8 to 0.8) observed during transition from rest to high workload. Analysis of our data showed that an increase in the flux via creatine kinase is correlated with an increase in the rate of ATP synthesis with a linearity coefficient higher than 1.0. These data are more consistent with the concept of energy channeling by phosphocreatine shuttle than with that of the creatine kinase equilibrium in the heart. 相似文献

The uptake of 32P-phosphocreatine by control and ischemic isolated perfused rat hearts has been studied. The rate of phosphocreatine (PCr) uptake by the hearts after 35 minutes of ischemia was two times that in control hearts at 0.5-10 mM PCr in the perfusate. At 10 mM PCr in the perfusate, this rate was 182 nmoles/min/g dry weight. The 5'-nucleotidase and phosphatase activities were found in the crude plasma membrane fraction of rat heart. The pH-dependence of these enzymes was examined. The 5'-nucleotidase activity decreased with a drop in pH from 8.0 to 6.0. The phosphatase activity in the crude plasma membrane fraction of rat heart was increased 2-fold with a decrease in pH from 8.0 to 6.0. The 5'-nucleotidase activity was inhibited by 10 mM PCr in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+. This inhibition was pH-dependent with a maximum (58%) at pH 6.0. The inhibition of phosphatase activity by PCr was independent of pH and reached 20% in the presence of 10 mM PCr. Some feasible mechanisms of the protective effect of PCr on ischemic myocardium are discussed. 相似文献

Rats were fed a diet containing 1% of the creatine substrate analogue β-guanidinopropionic acid for 6–10 weeks. 31P-NMR investigation of isolated, glucose-perfused working hearts showed a 90% reduction in [phosphocreatine] from 22.2 to 2.5 μmol/g dry wt in guanidinopropionic acid-fed animals but no change in [Pi], [ATP], or intracellular pH. The unidirectional exchange flux in the creatine kinase reaction (direction phosphocreatine → ATP) was measured by saturation transfer NMR in hearts working against a perfusion pressure of 70 cm of water. This exchange was 10 μmol/g dry wt per s in control hearts and decreased 4-fold to 2.5–2.8 μmol/g dry wt per s in hearts from guanidinopropionic acid-fed animals. Oxygen consumption and cardiac performance were measured in parallel experiments at two perfusion pressures, 70 and 140 cm. No significant differences were observed in oxygen uptake or in any of the performance criteria between hearts from control and guanidinopropionic acid-fed rats at either workload. Assuming an ADP:O ratio of 3, the oxygen consumption measurements correspond to ATP turnover rates of 4.2–7.8 μmol/g dry per s. These rates are 1.5–3-times greater than the rate of the phosphocreatine → ATP exchange in hearts from guanidinopropionic acid-fed rats. These data suggest that phosphocreatine cannot be an obligate intermediate of energy transduction in the heart. 相似文献

Hyperthyroidism results in increased glycolytic capacity in the rat heart. A 31P-NMR study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have investigated the metabolic adaptations that occur in the thyroxine-treated rat heart. Rats were made hyperthyroid by daily intra-peritoneal injections of thyroxine (35 micrograms/100 g body weight) over seven days. 31P-NMR investigations of isolated glucose-perfused isometric hearts showed that thyroxine treatment caused an increase in Pi (from 4.9 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1 in control hearts to 11.7 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1 in hyperthyroid hearts), a decrease in phosphocreatine (from 36.5 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1 to 21.8 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1) with no change in ATP or ADP concentrations under the same conditions of cardiac work. The unidirectional exchange flux Pi----ATP was measured by saturation transfer NMR in hyperthyroid rat hearts. This exchange (which has been shown to contain a significant glycolytic component) increased by 2.2-fold in thyroxine-treated hearts in comparison to control hearts (to 3.6 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1.s-1, from 1.6 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1.s-1). In parallel experiments, NMR analysis of extracts from hyperthyroid rat hearts showed significantly elevated levels of glucose 6-phosphate, and fructose 6-phosphate. Measurements of enzyme activities isolated from hyperthyroid and control tissue showed a 40% increase in phosphofructokinase activity. These data together with the increased concentration of Pi show that both glycolytic and glycogenolytic fluxes are increased in the hyperthyroid rat heart. This metabolic adaptation may be necessary to cope with the increased number and activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase pumps that occur in response to thyroxine treatment. 相似文献

The relationships between cellular energy parameters and succinate, alanine and creatine release from isolated guinea pig hearts were studied during a 50 min perfusion (0.2 ml/min) with 5.5 mM glucose or 5 mM sodium acetate. Compared to glucose-perfused hearts, a more rapid ATP depletion accompanied by an increased succinate and creatine release was observed during underperfusion with acetate. The succinate and alanine accumulation in the myocardial effluent was related to a decrease in tissue ATP; the creatine release showed a close inverse correlation with the tissue phosphocreatine/creatine ratio. Hyperbolic and linear relationships were found between these indices for glucose- and acetate-perfused hearts, respectively. The logarithm of tissue ATP had negative linear correlations with the perfusate succinate/creatine ratio for the both substrates. The experimental results suggest that succinate, creatine and alanine assays in the myocardial effluent may be used for the assessment of the energy state of ischemic heart. 相似文献

1 mg/kg L-thyroxine was administered to rats for 14 days to evaluate the potential of the hyperthyroid state to induce heart hypertrophy and its effect on myosin adenosine-triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. Evidence of hyperthyroidism such as weight loss, elevation of rectal temperature, increased heart rate and oxygen consumption, was observed in all treated rats. Cardiac enlargement was determined by comparison of wet and dry ventricle weights, myocardial RNA, DNA and protein content. Wet and dry ventricle weights and the level of cardiac RNA and protein were augmented by thyroxine treatment. ATPase activity of cardiac myosin was stimulated as the Ca2+ concentration in the incubation medium increased. No difference was found in Ca2+-activation, salt sensitivity or ATPase activity of unreacted and sulphydrylmodified cardiac myosins from euthyroid or hyperthyroid groups. The results showed that in hyperthyroid rats, in contrast to some other species, the biochemical mechanism responsible for the enhancement of cardiac contractility is not an increased myosin ATPase. 相似文献

Pantothenic acid transport was studied in the isolated perfused rat heart and isolated sheep cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles. In the perfused heart, pantothenic acid transport was significantly greater if hearts were perfused as working hearts rather than Langendorff hearts, but was unaffected by the perfusion substrates used (11 mM glucose or 1.2 mM palmitate). Uptake rates of pantothenic acid in working hearts are dependent on perfusate concentrations of pantothenic acid (a Vmax of 418 nmol/g dry weight/30 min and a Km for pantothenic acid of 10.7 mircoM were obtained). Reduction in perfusate Na+ concentration from 145 to 105 mM (the Na+ was replaced with 40 mM choline) resulted in a small but significant decrease in pantothenic acid uptake. At 145 mM Na+, addition of a mixture of amino acids, whose uptake is Na+-dependent, resulted in a significant decrease in pantothenic acid uptake by the heart (173 +/- 5 to 132 +/- 12 nmol/g dry weight). If an inward Na+ gradient in isolated, purified sarcolemmal vesicles, was imposed, a rapid uptake of pantothenic acid was observed. Uptake rates are markedly reduced if Na+ was replaced by equimolar concentrations of K+ or if external Na+ was reduced below 40 mM. In the presence of Na+, increasing pantothenic acid concentrations resulted in an increase in pantothenic acid uptake by the vesicles. Combined, these data demonstrate that pantothenic acid is transported across the myocardial sarcolemmal membrane by a Na+-dependent mechanism, which may be common to a number of small molecules. 相似文献

In isolated and purified cardiac myofibrillar and sarcolemmal preparations, the route of movement of ADP produced in the Mg2+-ATPase reactions was studied by investigating the efficiency of competition between the endogenous creatine kinase and exogenous pyruvate kinase reactions. In the homogeneous control system composed of hexokinase and glucose as ATPase, soluble creatine kinase rapidly rephosphorylated ADP produced in the presence of 1 mM ATP, but the addition of pyruvate kinase in an increasing amount inhibited the reaction of creatine release from phosphocreatine and symmetrically increased the rate of pyruvate production from phosphoenol pyruvate. At a pyruvate-kinase/creatine-kinase activity ratio (PK/CK) of 50, all ADP was used by the pyruvate kinase. In myofibrillar and sarcolemmal preparations containing particulate creatine kinase, the creatine kinase reaction was much less efficiently suppressed by pyruvate kinase, and at PK/CK = 50 half-maximal release of creatine was still observed. The rate of immediate myofibrillar MgADP rephosphorylation in the endogenous creatine-kinase reaction was observed to be governed by the concentration of phosphocreatine in accordance with the kinetics of this enzyme. The physiological significance of these findings is discussed. 相似文献

Effect of vitamin E on the response to ischemia-reperfusion of Langendorff heart preparations from hyperthyroid rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Hyperthyroidism has been reported to decrease heart antioxidant capacity and increase its susceptibility to in vitro oxidative stress. This may affect the heart response to ischemia-reperfusion, a condition that increases free radical production. We compared the functional recovery from in vitro ischemia-reperfusion (Langendorff) of hearts from euthyroid (E), hyperthyroid (H, ten daily intraperitoneal injections of T3, 10 microg/100g body weight), vitamin E-treated (VE, ten daily intramuscular injections, 20 mg/100g body weight) and hyperthyroid vitamin E-treated (HVE) rats. We also determined lipid peroxidation, tissue antioxidant capacity and the tissue capability to face an oxidative stress in vitro. A significant tachycardia was displayed during reperfusion following 20 min ischemia by the hyperthyroid hearts, together with a low recovery of left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and left ventricular dP/dt(max). When H hearts were paced at 300 beats/min, the functional recovery (LVDP and dP/dt(max)) was close to 100% and significantly higher than in E paced hearts. At the end of the ischemia-reperfusion protocol, myocardium antioxidant capacity was significantly lower, whereas lipid peroxidation and the susceptibility to in vitro oxidative stress were higher in the T3 treated (H) than in euthyroid rats. The in vitro tachycardic response, the reduction in the antioxidant capacity and the increase in lipid peroxidation were prevented by treatment of hyperthyroid rats with vitamin E (HVE). These results suggest that the tachycardic response to reperfusion following chronic T3 pretreatment was associated with the reduced capability of the heart to face oxidative stresses in hyperthyroidism. 相似文献

We recently reported that hyperthyroidism affects the heart response to ischemia/reperfusion. A significant tachycardia during reperfusion was associated with an increase in the oxidative stress of hearts from T3-treated animals. In the present study we checked the possible role of nitric oxide (NO) in this major stress induced by the hyperthyroid state. We compared the functional recovery from ischemia/reperfusion of Langendorff preparations from euthyroid (E) and hyperthyroid (H, ten daily intraperitoneal injections of T3, 10 microg/100 g body weight) rats, in the presence and in the absence of 0.2 mM Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA). At the end of the ischemia/reperfusion protocol (10 min preischemic perfusion, 20 min global ischemia, 30 min reperfusion) lipid peroxidation, antioxidant capacity (CA) and susceptibility to in vitro oxidative stress were determined on heart homogenates. The main effect of hyperthyroidism on the reperfusion functional response was confirmed to be a strong tachycardic response (154% recovery at 25 min reperfusion) accompanied by a low recovery in both left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP) and left ventricular dP/dtmax. This functional response was associated with a reduction in CA and an increase in both lipid peroxidation and susceptibility to oxidative stress. Perfusion of hearts with L-NNA per se had small but significant negative chronotropic and positive inotropic effects on preischemic performance of euthyroid rat hearts only. More importantly, L-NNA perfusion completely blocked the reperfusion tachycardic response in the hyperthyroid rats. Concomitantly, myocardium oxidative state (lipid peroxidation, CA and in vitro susceptibility to oxidative stress) of L-NNA perfused hearts was similar to that of E animals. These results suggest that the higher reperfusion-induced injury occurring in hyperthyroid animals is associated with overproduction of nitric oxide. 相似文献

Effects of coenzyme Q10 on the heart ultrastructure and nitric oxide synthase during hyperthyroidism

Coenzyme Q10 is an important component of mitochondrial electron transport chain and antioxidant. Hyperthyroidism manifests hyperdynamic circulation with increased cardiac output, increased heart rate and decreased peripheral resistance. The heart is also under the oxidative stress in the hyperthyroidism. The aim of this study was to examine both how the coenzyme Q10 can affect heart ultrastructure in the hyperthyroidism and how the relationship between nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and heart damage and coenzyme Q10. Swiss Black C57 mice received 5 mg/kg L-thyroxine. Coenzyme Q10 (1.5 mg/kg) and L-thyroxine together was given to second group mice. Coenzyme Q10 and serum physiologic were applied to another two groups, respectively. All treatments were performed daily for 15 days by gavage. Free triiodothyronine and thyroxine were increased in two groups given L-thyroxine; thyroid-stimulating hormone level did not change. Hyperthyroid heart showed an increased endothelial NOS (eNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS) immunoreactivity in the tissue. Coenzyme Q10 administration decreased these NOS immunoreactivities in the hyperthyroid animals. Cardiomyocytes of the hyperthyroid animals was characterized by abnormal shape and invaginated nuclei, and degenerative giant mitochondria. Desmosome plaques reduced in density. In hyperthyroid mice given coenzyme Q10, the structural disorganization and mitochondrial damage regressed. However, hearts of healthy mice given coenzyme Q10 displayed normal ultrastructure, except for increased mitochondria and some of them were partially damaged. Coenzyme Q10 increased the glycogen in the cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, coenzyme Q10 administration can prevent the ultrastructural disorganization and decrease the iNOS and eNOS increment in the hyperthyroid heart. 相似文献

A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that reperfusion injury may be mediated, in part, by mitochondrial Ca2+ overload that promotes non-selective permeability of the inner membrane. In this regard it is known that mitochondria from hypothyroid rats are resistant to membrane damage as induced by Ca2+. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of hearts from hypothyroid rats, to the damage by reperfusion, after an ischemic period of 5 min. The results were compared with those from control and hyperthyroid rats. Hypothyroidism was established by surgical removal of the thyroid gland; in turn hyperthyroidism was induced after a daily injection of 2 mg/kg of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine for 4 days. ECG tracings from hypothyroid rats showed a total absence of post-reperfusion arrhythmias conversely to what was observed in control and hyperthyroid rats. The release of creatine kinase and aspartate amino transferase to the plasma in hypothyroid rats was found to be lower than that found in hyperthyroid and euthyroid rats. The histological studies showed that myocardial fibers from hypothyroid rats were in good condition and retained their striae and a remarkable near absence of edema was clearly observed. 相似文献

Hearts from rats pretreated either with L-triiodothyronine (T3) or with L-thyroxine (T4) exhibited changed function curve characteristics on the working heart apparatus compared with hearts from vehicle-treated rats. There was no supersensitivity of the hyperthyroid myocardium to the inotropic effect of isoproterenol as estimated by pD2 values. There were significant increases in +dP/dt and -dP/dt in hyperthyroid working hearts over the entire range of the function curve. T3 hearts showed much shorter relaxation times and total contraction times throughout the function curve. T4 hearts showed significantly reduced relaxation times and total contraction times as compared with control at all left atrial filling pressures under 15 cm of water. At high filling pressures T4 heart relaxation times and total contraction times were not different from control, but were however, significantly increased from those of T3 hearts. Area under the left ventricular pressure curve was unchanged by thyroid hormone pretreatment. Heart weight increased about 15% following either T3 or T4 treatment while the increases in (+) or (-) dP/dt and the left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) were about 20-30%. The increase in cardiac mass certainly played a role in the increased cardiac function. Potency of isoproterenol in hyperthyroid working heart preparations was unchanged from control. The pD2 values, as determined from +dP/dt data, were 8.8 +/- 0.15 for T3-treated hearts, 8.25 +/- 0.40 for T4-treated hearts, and 8.18 +/- 0.12 for euthyroid hearts. While the mechanism(s) for the altered performance of the hyperthyroid working heart are not absolutely known, possible biochemical and physiological changes which may be implicated are discussed. 相似文献

Modifications in the Ca(2+)-uptake and -release functions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) may be a major component of the mechanisms underlying thyroid state-dependent alterations in heart rate, myocardial contractility, and metabolism. We investigated the influence of hyperthyroid state on the expression and functional properties of the ryanodine receptor (RyR), a major protein in the junctional SR (JSR), which mediates Ca(2+) release to trigger muscle contraction. Experiments were performed using homogenates and JSR vesicles derived from ventricular myocardium of euthyroid and hyperthyroid rabbits. Hyperthyroidism, with attendant cardiac hypertrophy, was induced by the injection of L-thyroxine (200 microg/kg body wt) daily for 7 days. Western blotting analysis using cardiac RyR-specific antibody revealed a significant increase (>50%) in the relative amount of RyR in the hyperthyroid compared with euthyroid rabbits. Ca(2+)-dependent, high-affinity [(3)H]ryanodine binding was also significantly greater ( approximately 40%) in JSR from hyperthyroid rabbits. The Ca(2+ )sensitivity of [(3)H]ryanodine binding and the dissociation constant for [(3)H]ryanodine did not differ significantly between euthyroid and hyperthyroid hearts. Measurement of Ca(2+)-release rates from passively Ca(2+)-preloaded JSR vesicles and assessment of the effect of RyR-Ca(2+)-release channel (CRC) blockade on active Ca(2+)-uptake rates revealed significantly enhanced (>2-fold) CRC activity in the hyperthyroid, compared with euthyroid, JSR. These results demonstrate overexpression of functional RyR in thyroid hormone-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Relative abundance of RyR may be responsible, in part, for the changes in SR Ca(2+) release, cytosolic Ca(2+) transient, and cardiac systolic function associated with thyroid hormone-induced cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

The effects of stimulation frequency (0.2-1.5 Hz) and extracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]o) (0.6-15.0 mM) on the contractile function of thin papillary muscles of euthyroid and hyperthyroid rats were studied. Hyperthyroidism led to a decrease in developed tension (DT) and time to peak tension (TPT), but it exhibited no influence on the maximal rates of contraction (+dT/dt) and relaxation (-dT/dt). Also, the mean rates of contraction were similar in euthyroid and hyperthyroid muscle groups. The increase in stimulation frequency brought about a marked decrease in DT, +dT/dt, and -dT/dt of euthyroid papillary muscles at lower frequencies in comparison to papillary muscles in the hyperthyroid group. At stimulation frequencies above 1.0 Hz, the absolute and relative levels of DT and -dT/dt of hyperthyroid myocardium were elevated over euthyroid preparations. At the same time, TPT was unchanged in any of the muscle groups. Hyperthyroidism modulated the relationships between contractile parameters and [Ca2+]o. At a [Ca2+]o of 1.0-4.0 mM, the DT of hyperthyroid papillary muscles was lower than in euthyroid muscle. At 4.0 and 8.0 mM of [Ca2+]o, the equal values of maximal DT were registered for euthyroid and hyperthyroid papillary muscles, respectively. An increase in the [Ca2+]o in the range of 1.0-15.0 mM was accompanied by an increase in TPT of both muscle groups, but to a greater extent in hyperthyroid myocardium. In conclusion, the myocardium of hyperthyroid rat appeared to exhibit decreased sensitivity to calcium as well as to the negative inotropic effect of enhanced stimulation frequency. Alterations of the processes of transsarcolemmal movement and intracellular recycling of Ca2 may be implicated. 相似文献

To measure free creatine in the isolated perfused rat heart, the concentration of phosphocreatine, and phosphocreatine plus creatine (sigma Cr) were measured by 31P- and 1H-NMR, respectively. Quantification was performed in the presence and absence of an intraventricular balloon filled with a known amount of PCr, which acted as an external standard. Total (free plus bound) phosphocreatine and creatine were measured by HPLC analysis of extracts from the same hearts, freeze-clamped at the end of the perfusions. A greater concentration of creatine (mumol/g dry wt.) in the perfused rat heart was measured by HPLC analysis (40.3 +/- 2.38 (11)) as compared to NMR (34.6 +/- 1.95 (11)), whilst no significant difference was observed in the measurement of phosphocreatine between the two assay methods. Consequently, a greater sigma Cr was measured by HPLC. This work suggests that the majority of Cr in the heart is NMR visible and unbound, so available to interact with creatine kinase. The lower free ADP concentration calculated from NMR measurements (53.3 +/- 3.80 microM (9)) was not significantly different from that determined by HPLC analysis (56.9 +/- 5.90 microM (9)). This suggests that the concentration of free ADP in the heart is higher than values where it can regulate oxidative phosphorylation most effectively. 相似文献

The effects of L-carnitine on myocardial glycolysis, glucose oxidation, and palmitate oxidation were determined in isolated working rat hearts. Hearts were perfused under aerobic conditions with perfusate containing either 11 mM [2-3H/U-14C]glucose in the presence or absence of 1.2 mM palmitate or 11 mM glucose and 1.2 mM [1-14C]palmitate. Myocardial carnitine levels were elevated by perfusing hearts with 10 mM L-carnitine. A 60-min perfusion period resulted in significant increases in total myocardial carnitine from 4376 +/- 211 to 9496 +/- 473 nmol/g dry weight. Glycolysis (measured as 3H2O production) was unchanged in carnitine-treated hearts perfused in the absence of fatty acids (4418 +/- 300 versus 4547 +/- 600 nmol glucose/g dry weight.min). If 1.2 mM palmitate was present in the perfusate, glycolysis decreased almost 2-fold compared with hearts perfused in the absence of fatty acids. In carnitine-treated hearts this drop in glycolysis did not occur (glycolytic rates were 2911 +/- 231 to 4629 +/- 460 nmol glucose/g dry weight.min, in control and carnitine-treated hearts, respectively. Compared with control hearts, glucose oxidation rates (measured as 14CO2 production from [U-14C]glucose) were unaltered in carnitine-treated hearts perfused in the absence of fatty acids (1819 +/- 169 versus 2026 +/- 171 nmol glucose/g dry weight.min, respectively). In the presence of 1.2 mM palmitate, glucose oxidation decreased dramatically in control hearts (11-fold). In carnitine-treated hearts, however, glucose oxidation was significantly greater than control hearts under these conditions (158 +/- 21 to 454 +/- 85 nmol glucose/g dry weight.min, in control and carnitine-treated hearts, respectively). Palmitate oxidation rates (measured as 14CO2 production from [1-14C]palmitate) decreased in the carnitine-treated hearts from 728 +/- 61 to 572 +/- 111 nmol palmitate/g dry weight.min. This probably occurred secondary to an increase in overall ATP production from glucose oxidation (from 5.4 to 14.5% of steady state myocardial ATP production). The results reported in this study provide direct evidence that carnitine can stimulate glucose oxidation in the intact fatty acid perfused heart. This probably occurs secondary to facilitating the intramitochondrial transfer of acetyl groups from acetyl-CoA to acetylcarnitine, thereby relieving inhibition of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. 相似文献
