Patterns of gene expression during teleost embryogenesis: Lactate dehydrogenase isozyme ontogeny in the medaka (Oryzias iatipes)

The ontogeny of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; EC 1.1.1.27) isozymes during medaka (Oryzias latipes) embryogenesis was determined after the genetic and molecular bases of this multilocus isozyme system were established. Three LDH loci are differentially expressed among the tissues of the adult medaka. The LDH-A locus was expressed almost exclusively in the white skeletal muscle, the LDH-B locus in all tissues examined, and the LDH-C locus in the eye and brain. The contribution of each of these LDH loci was quantitatively determined throughout early medaka embryogenesis by using a combination of electrophoretic, immunochemical, and spectrophotometric procedures. LDH-B₄ is present throughout embryogenesis and is the predominant LDH isozyme during this period. LDH-C subunit activity was first detected 146 hr after fertilization (26°C), 142 hr prior to hatching. LDH-A subunit activity, however, was not detected until after hatching and, then, only as heterotetramers containing LDH-B subunits. The pattern of LDH gene expression during medaka embryogenesis was compared with the patterns of LDH gene expression during early development in five other teleost species. Some common patterns of differential LDH gene expression appear to exist among the teleosts. In all species examined, isozymes encoded in at least one LDH locus, A and/or B, were present throughout development. Those isozymes present continually during embryogenesis also tend to be active in a wide variety of differentiated tissues in the adult fish. Conversely, LDH isozymes which are active in a restricted number of adult tissues are detected only later in embryogenesis. The initiation of LDH-C gene expression, however, is closely coupled with morphological and functional differentiation of those cells in which this locus is predominantly expressed in the adult.     

Lactate and malate dehydrogenase in the fan-shell associated shrimp, Pontonia pinnophylax (Otto): Effects of temperature and urea

In Pontonia pinnophylax (Otto), a crustacean decapod inhabiting the mantle cavity of Pinna nobilis L. (Bivalvia: Pteriomorpha), the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity, and their electrophoretic patterns, were compared in relation to heat and urea inactivation. Activity was higher in LDH than in MDH, and the electrophoretic patterns showed a predominance of LDH-A4 and the presence of both mitochondrial and cytosolic MDH. Heat incubation reduced both enzymatic activities, but more MDH. Also all isozymes showed different heat sensitivity, with anodic forms more heat-resistant than cathodic ones, either in LDH as in MDH. Urea treatment caused also a higher inactivation of the most cathodic isozymes, but MDH appeared more resistant than LDH at 2 M urea. The high polymorphism of these enzymes suggests an adaptation of Pontonia metabolism to hypoxic conditions; moreover, the different isozyme stability grade should be functional to contrast environmental variability.     

Activity of leukocyte lactate dehydrogenase isozymes in subjects of different ages

The activity and the latent activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes was studied in subjects of 20±1 (N = 10) and 65 ± 16 (N = 8) years. Leukocytes were separated in a density gradient and disrupted by hypotonic shock combined with vibration. LDH isozymes were isolated by native electrophoresis. The activity of isozymes was assayed by reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium. The latent activity of LDH isozymes was assayed by comparing the activities revealed after incubation of disrupted leukocytes with and without a detergent. The constant presence of three LDH isozymes (LDH1, LDH2, and LDH3) in human leukocytes was demonstrated. A redistribution of LDH isozyme activity towards LDH3 was found in the elderly compared to the young subjects. This fact may be linked with changes caused in immunocyte metabolism by functional modifiction of the immune system in the aged body. The latent activity of LDH3 was increased in the elderly compared to the young subjects; the latent activities of LDH1 and LDH2 did not differ significantly between the groups. The difference revealed may be caused by age-specific changes in physicochemical properties of leukocyte membranes. The parameters given may be used as biomarkers for additional evaluation of the aging of the body.

An immunochemical analysis of the novel liver-restricted LDH activity from cichlid fishes (Cichlidae: Teleostei) confirms its non-orthology with piscine LDH-C

In an electrophoretic survey of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes in neotropical cichlid fishes (Perciformes: Cichlidae) several species were discovered in which a cathodal liver-restricted isozyme is expressed along with the highly anodal eye-restricted isozyme (LDH-C₄) typically encountered in perciform fishes. Biochemical characterization of these two isozymes from the basketmouth cichlid, Acaronia nassa (Heckel), strongly suggested that they were non-orthologous and challenged the accepted view that eye- and liver-restricted LDH isozymes are alternative expressions of the same (LDH-C *) gene. In this study, antiserum raised against cypriniform (goldfish) liver-restricted LDH-C₄ failed to cross-react with the basketmouth liver-restricted analogue while effectively titrating the eye-restricted, anodal isozyme and, at higher titres, the LDH-B₄, heart-restricted isozyme from all cichlid species. Anti-serum raised against basketmouth muscle-restricted LDH-A₄ failed to titrate any of the eye- and liver-restricted isozymes. These data confirm the orthology of eye- and liver-restricted LDH isozymes in Cypriniform and Perciform fishes as originally proposed, suggest that the liver-restricted isozyme of cichlid fishes is non-orthologous and further raise the question of identity and evolutionary origin of this anomalous LDH activity.     

Differential activity and synthesis of lactate dehydrogenase isozymes A (muscle), B (heart), and C (testis) in mouse spermatogenic cells

Spermatogenic cells isolated from adult and prepubertal mice by unit gravity sedimentation were used to examine enzyme activities and synthesis of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes during spermatogenesis. The synthesis and activity of LDH-C4, the germ cell-specific isozyme, was detected earliest in isolated preleptotene and leptotene/zygotene spermatocytes prior to the mid-pachytene stage of meiosis reported previously. The LDH-C4 isozyme was prominent in pachytene spermatocytes, round spermatids, and condensing spermatids, whereas spermatozoa contained only the LDH-C4 isozyme. In addition, somatic-type LDH isozymes consisting primarily of LDH-B subunits were present in germ cells throughout spermatogenesis. This is in contrast to a previous report that the LDH-B subunit was not synthesized in germ cells. Sertoli cells were further shown to exhibit comparable amounts of five tetrameric LDH isozymes formed by combination of muscle-type LDH-A and heart-type LDH-B subunits.     

A new locus regulating the expression of the Ldh-2 gene in mouse liver

Patterns of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes of tissues from various mouse strains were examined. An interstrain polymorphism for LDH isozymes of liver was established. One phenotype (CBA/Lac and AKR/J mice) yielded a five-banded LDH pattern, another phenotype (DBA/1J, DBA/2J, C57BL/6J and C3H/He) showed a three-banded one. Immunochemical evidence was obtained indicating that differences in the LDH pattern are mainly due to different contents of the B subunit of LDH. Linkage tests indicated that the locus Ldr-2 determining the amounts of the LDH B subunit in mouse liver tissue is located in chromosome 6, 19 ± 4.1 cm away from the earlier described Ldr-1 locus. The effect of locus Ldr-2 is strictly tissue-specific; it is manifest only on days 6–8 after birth.     

Effect of feeding polychlorinated biphenyl (Aroclor 1260) on hepatic enzymes of rats

Significant increase in the activity of liver succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) was observed in male Wistar rats, fed Aroclor 1260 (PCB; polychlorinated biphenyl) at 50 and 100 ppm level for 120 days. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity increased in 50 ppm PCB fed animals and decreased in 100 ppm PCB fed rats. On the other hand, enzymes like alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline and acid phosphatase showed remarkable decrease in activity in PCB fed animals. Slab gel electrophoresis of LDH isozymes showed remarkable increase in LDH2 and LDH3 and to some extent increase in LDH1 isozymes of livers of 50 ppm PCB fed animals but not in 100 ppm PCB fed groups as compared to controls. In both the PCB fed groups, liver showed centrilobular hypertrophy, hepatocellular damage, hyperplasia, karyolysis and karyorrhexis.     

Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in loach (Misgurnus fossilis) development

Isoenzyme patterns of lactatedehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27) were determined in the loach (Misgurnus fossilis) oocytes, unfertilized eggs, developing embryos and larvae, and the sensitivity of the isoenzymes to the effect of AgNO3, p-chlormercurybenzoate and high temperature were investigated. The presence of 4 phenotypes of LDH patterns which differed in the isozymes number, in their relative activity, in electrophoretic mobility in the polyacrylamide gel columnes and in the frequency of occurence in different populations of the investigated species is demonstrated. Before the hatching stage there appeared a new isozyme which was completely inhibited by AgNO3 and had the same electrophoretic mobility in all LDH phenotypes. During the larvae development the content of this LDH isozyme increased. Some isozymes, especially those which had low anodic mobility and decreased in their relative quantity, disappeared during the development of embryos and larvae, p-Chlormercurybenzoate in the concentration 1 mM and heating at 70 degrees C during 20 minutes did not significantly affect LDH activities in the loach eggs, embryos and larvae.     

Metal Cu(II) and Zn(II) bipyridyls as inhibitors of lactate dehydrogenase

Metal complex–protein interaction is an evolving concept for determining cellular targets of metallodrugs. Lacatate dehydrogenase (LDH) is critically implicated in tumor growth and therefore, considered to be an important target protein for anti-tumor metal complexes. Due to efficient biocompatibility of copper (Cu²⁺) and zinc (Zn²⁺), we synthesized CubpyAc₂ · H₂O (Cu-bpy) and ZnbpyAc₂ · H₂O (Zn-bpy; where bpy = 2,2′ bipyridine, Ac = CH₃COO⁻) complexes and evaluated their interaction with and modulation of LDH in mouse tissues. The increasing concentration of both the complexes showed a significant shift in UV–Vis spectra of LDH. The binding constant data (Kc = 1 × 10³ M⁻¹ for Cu-bpy and 7 × 10⁶ M⁻¹ for Zn-bpy) suggested that Zn-bpy-LDH interaction is stronger than that of Cu-bpy-LDH. LDH modulating potential of the complexes were monitored by perfusing the mice tissues with non-toxic doses of Cu-bpy and Zn-bpy followed by activity measurement and analysis of LDH isozymes on non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). As compared to the control sets, Cu-bpy caused a significant decline (P < 0.05–0.001) in the activity of LDH in all the tissues studied. However, Zn-bpy showed inhibition of LDH only in liver (P < 0.01), kidney (P < 0.001) and heart (P < 0.01), but with no effect in spleen, brain and skeletal muscle tissues. PAGE analysis suggested that all the five LDH isozymes are equally sensitive to both the complexes in the respective tissues. The results suggest that Cu- and Zn-bpy are able to interact with and inhibit LDH, a tumor growth supportive target protein at tissue level.     

beta-Amylase from Mustard (Sinapis alba L.) Cotyledons : Immunochemical Evidence for Synthesis de Novo during Photoregulated Seedling Development

In barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are induced by anaerobiosis in both aleurone layers and roots. Under aerobic conditions, developing seeds of cv Himalaya accumulate ADH activity, which survives seed drying and rehydration. This activity consists almost entirely of the ADH1 homodimer. Activity of LDH also increases during seed development, but the level of activity in dry or rehydrated seeds is very low, indicating that this enzyme may not be involved in anaerobic glycolysis during the initial stages of germination. In contrast to ADH, the LDH isozymes present in developing seeds are similar to those found in uninduced and induced roots. Developmental expression of ADH and LDH was monitored from 0 to 24 days postgermination. Neither activity was induced to any extent in the germinating seeds; however, both enzymes were highly induced by anoxia in root tissue during development. Based on gel electrophoresis, this increase in activity results from the differential expression of different Adh and Ldh genes in root tissue. The changes in ADH and LDH activity levels were matched by changes in the amount of these particular proteins, indicating that the increase in activity results from de novo synthesis of these two proteins. The level of inducible LDH activity in an ADH1⁻ mutant was not found to differ from cv Himalaya. We suggest that although the ADH⁻ plants are more susceptible to flooding, they are not capable of responding to the lack of ADH1 activity by increasing the amount of LDH activity in root tissue.     

鳙鱼同工酶发育遗传学研究

采用淀粉或聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳法分析鳙鱼早期发育阶段(从未受精卵到卵黄吸尽期)及成体不同组织(脑、眼、心、肌、肾、肝)中六种同工酶(LDH,MDH,IDH,ADH,SDH,EST)的分化表达模式。鳙鱼同工酶基因的表达具有明显的组织特异性。早期发育阶段,ADH和SDH均无染色活性;LDH、MDH和IDH具有不同的发育变化谱式,而EST酶谱在整个早期发育阶段均无明显变化。与鲢、草鱼相比,鳙鱼早期发育过程中胚胎Ldh-A基因激活的时间被推迟。上述结果可为鳙鱼种群的生化遗传结构分析以及鳙鱼的人工育种提供基础资料。     

Effects of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester on endotoxin-induced leakage of lactate dehydrogenase and cytotoxicity in J774A.1 cells

In the present study, we investigated the effects of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME) on tissue injury or cytotoxicity caused by endotoxin challenge by assaying lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes and cell viability in J774A.1 cells. In mice treated with L-NAME (10 mg kg(-1), i.v.), the activity of LDH in serum 18 h after endotoxin (6 mg kg(-1), i.p.) injection was not significantly different from that in mice treated with endotoxin alone. Mice injected with endotoxin exhibited leakage of LDH isozymes 3 and 5, but L-NAME did not protect against endotoxin-induced acute leakage of LDH isozymes. Treatment with L-NAME (10-1000 microM) significantly inhibited NO generation by endotoxin (1 microg ml(-1))-activated J774A.1 cells. However, L-NAME (10-1000 microM) did not affect endotoxin-induced cytotoxicity in J774A.1 cells. These findings suggested that endotoxin-induced NO formation may not contribute to tissue injury or cytotoxicity caused by endotoxin.

The inheritance of tissue-specific lactate dehydrogenase isozymes in interspecific bass (Micropterus) hybrids

A combination of hybridization (in vivo and in vitro), immunochemical, and electrophoretic analyses reveals that both smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieui (Lacépède), and largemouth bass, M. salmoides (Lacépède), possess three homopolymeric lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes, A₄, B₄, and E₄. The retinal-specific E₄ isozymes of these two parental species possess different electrophoretic mobilities. The two bass species were hybridized to produce the interspecific F₁ hybrids. In addition, F₂ and F₃ hybrid generations were produced. The genetic data from these crosses indicate that the retinal-specific LDH isozyme is the product of a distinct nuclear gene (E locus) on an autosomal chromosome. This E gene appears to segregate independently of the gene for supernatant MDH. The LDH E gene is highly active in the bass neural retina and less active in other neural tissues. However, unlike in most teleosts, the bass LDH E gene also functions in such nonneural tissues as the heart and kidney.This research was supported by NSF grant GB 16425 to G. S. Whitt and by funds provided by the Illinois Natural History Survey to W. F. Childers.     

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in 27 species of amazon fish: Adaptive and evolutive aspects

• 1.1. Among the 27 species of Amazon fish belonging to the orders Rajiformes, Clupeiformes, Osteoglossiformes, Characiformes, Siluriformes and Perciformes here analyzed, 56% showed an electrophoretic pattern of five, 7% of four, 30% of three, and 7% of two LDH isozymes, suggesting the presence of both LDH-A¹ and LDH-B¹ loci. In addition to these loci, the third gene LDH-C¹ was detected only in the Osteoglossiform species O. bicirrhosum and in the perciform species P. squamosissimus, with a generalized expression in the first and a restricted in the second.
• 2.2. Only P. squamosissimus (Perciformes) showed a LDH reversed pattern, in which the A₄ is more anodic than the B₄.
• 3.3. Like other vertebrates, in most (93%) of the species here analyzed, a direct correlation between electrophoretic mobility and thermostability was observed. The inactivation temperatures varied from 55°C in the Rajiformes species of 70°C in the Perciformes species.
• 4.4. Polymorphism in at least one of the LDH loci was detected in 22% of the species studied here: P. castelnaena (Clupeiformes) and B.cf. cephalus (Characiformes) at the LDH-A¹ locus, R. myersi and H. unitaeniatus (both Characiformes) at the LDH-B¹ and L. agassizi (Characiformes) at both loci.
• 5.5. No modifications of the classic LDH pattern found by other authors in organisms routinely subjected to hypoxic stress were observed in these Amazon species. In 93% of the species screened here, subjected to considerable hypoxic stress, large daily oscillations in temperature, O₂ and CO₂ levels, pH, low ionic content, and seasonal drought, a bidirectional pattern of expression of the LDH loci was observed.

     

Ontogeny of LDH-Isozymes in Mexican Axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum by Thin-Layer Isoelectric Focusing

The ontogeny of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes in developing Mexican axolotl, A mbystoma mexicanum was investigated by thin-layer isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel. The isoelectric points (pI values) of the isozymes were determined. The minor components generally remained masked during conventional electrophoresis, but became sharp as isofocusing progressed.
We identified in developing eggs and embryos five major LDH isozymes, which could also be traced in the ovarian eggs. All these isozymes, except LDH-1, consisted of one major and one minor component. Heterogeneity in axolotl LDH is reported for the first time. The separated isozymes had pI values from 5.24–6.60. Contrary to observations made by others, it was found that the anodal forms of LDH (pIs 5.24–5.80) were prominent throughout, while the remainder (pIs 6.16–6.60) gradually lost their stain ability.
It thus appears that isoelectric focusing is a possible method for the analysis of protein mixtures and can be successfully applied to problems of differentiation.     

Interaction between mammalian glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and L-lactate dehydrogenase from heart and muscle

The exceptionally high protein concentration in living cells can favor functional protein-protein interactions that can be difficult to detect with purified proteins. In this study we describe specific interactions between mammalian D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes from heart and muscle. We use poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG)-induced coprecipitation and native agarose electrophoresis as two independent methods uniquely suited to mimic some of the conditions that can favor protein-protein interaction in living cells. We found that GAPDH interacts with heart or muscle isozymes of LDH with approximately one-to-one stoichiometry. The interaction is specific; GAPDH shows interaction with two LDH isozymes that have very different net charge and solubility in PEG solution, while no interaction is observed with GAPDH from other species, other NAD(H) dehydrogenases, or other proteins that have very similar net charge and molecular mass. Analytical ultracentrifugation showed that the LDH and GAPDH complex is insoluble in PEG solution. The interaction is abolished by saturation with NADH, but not by saturation with NAD(+) in correlation with GAPDH solubility in PEG solution. The crystal structures show that GAPDH and LDH isozymes share complementary size, shape, and electric potential surrounding the active sites. The presented results suggest that GAPDH and LDH have a functional interaction that can affect NAD(+)/NADH metabolism and glycolysis in living cells.
