Summary Hypothetical model based on deficient glutamatergic neurotransmission caused by hyperactive glutamate transport in astrocytes
surrounding excitatory synapses in the prefrontal cortex is examined in relation to the aetiology of schizophrenia. The model
is consistent with actions of neuroleptics, such as clozapine, in animal experiments and it is strongly supported by recent
findings of increased expression of glutamate transporter GLT in prefrontal cortex of patients with schizophrenia. It is proposed
that mechanisms regulating glutamate transport be investigated as potential targets for novel classes of neuroactive compounds
with neuroleptic characteristics. Development of new efficient techniques designed specifically for the purpose of studying
rapid activity-dependent translocation of glutamate transporters and associated molecules such as Na+, K+-ATPase is essential and should be encouraged. 相似文献

1. Patients affected by isovaleric acidemia (IVAcidemia) suffer from acute episodes of encephalopathy. However, the mechanisms
underlying the neuropathology of this disease are poorly known. The objective of the present study was to investigate the
in vitro effects of the metabolites that predominantly accumulate in IVAcidemia, namely isovaleric acid (IVA), 3-hydroxyisovaleric
acid (3-OHIVA) and isovalerylglycine (IVG), on important parameters of energy metabolism, such as 14CO2 production from acetate and the activities of the respiratory chain complexes I–IV, creatine kinase and Na+, K+-ATPase in synaptic plasma membranes from cerebral cortex homogenates of 30-day-old rats.
2. We observed that 3-OHIVA acid and IVG did not affect all the parameters analyzed. Similarly, 14CO2 production from acetate (Krebs cycle activity), the activities of creatine kinase, and of the respiratory chain complexes
was not modified by IVA. In contrast, IVA exposition to cortical homogenates provoked a marked inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase activity. However, this activity was not changed when IVA was directly exposed to purified synaptic plasma membranes,
suggesting an indirect effect of this organic acid on the enzyme. Furthermore, pretreatment of cortical homogenates with α-tocopherol
and creatine totally prevented IVA-induced inhibition on Na+, K+-ATPase activity from synaptic plasma membranes, whereas glutathione (GSH) and the NO synthase inhibitor Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) did not alter this inhibition.
3. These data indicate that peroxide radicals were probably involved in this inhibitory effect. Since Na+, K+-ATPase is a critical enzyme for normal brain development and functioning and necessary to maintain neuronal excitability,
it is presumed that the inhibitory effect of IVA on this activity may be involved in the pathophysiology of the neurological
dysfunction of isovaleric acidemic patients. 相似文献

The isolation of a soluble brain fraction which behaves as an endogenous ouabain-like substance, termed endobain E, has been described. Endobain E contains two Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitors, one of them identical to ascorbic acid. Neurotransmitter release in the presence of endobain E and ascorbic acid was studied in non-depolarizing (0 mM KCl) and depolarizing (40 mM KCl) conditions. Synaptosomes were isolated from cerebral cortex of male Wistar rats by differential centrifugation and Percoll gradient. Synaptosomes were preincubated in HEPES-saline buffer with 1 mM d-[3H]aspartate (15 min at 37°C), centrifuged, washed, incubated in the presence of additions (60 s at 37°C) and spun down; radioactivity in the supernatants was quantified. In the presence of 0.5–5.0 mM ascorbic acid, d-[3H]aspartate release was roughly 135–215% or 110–150%, with or without 40 mM KCl, respectively. The endogenous Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor endobain E dose-dependently increased neurotransmitter release, with values even higher in the presence of KCl, reaching 11-times control values. In the absence of KCl, addition of 0.5–10.0 mM commercial ouabain enhanced roughly 100% d-[3H]aspartate release; with 40 mM KCl a trend to increase was recorded with the lowest ouabain concentrations to achieve statistically significant difference vs. KCl above 4 mM ouabain. Experiments were performed in the presence of glutamate receptor antagonists. It was observed that MPEP (selective for mGluR5 subtype), failed to decrease endobain E response but reduced 50–60% ouabain effect; LY-367385 (selective for mGluR1 subtype) and dizocilpine (for ionotropic NMDA glutamate receptor) did not reduce endobain E or ouabain effects. These findings lead to suggest that endobain E effect on release is independent of metabotropic or ionotropic glutamate receptors, whereas that of ouabain involves mGluR5 but not mGluR1 receptor subtype. Assays performed at different temperatures indicated that in endobain E effect both exocytosis and transporter reversion are involved. It is concluded that endobain E and ascorbic acid, one of its components, due to their ability to inhibit Na+, K+-ATPase, may well modulate neurotransmitter release at synapses. 相似文献

Crush syndrome (CS) results from severe traumatic damage to the organism that is characterized by stress, acute homeostatic
failure of the tissues, and myoglobinuria with severe intoxication. This leads to an acute impairment of kidneys and heart.
The peripheral and central nervous systems are also the subject of significant changes in CS. Na+, K+-ATPase is a critical enzyme in neuron that is essential for the regulation of neuronal membrane potential, cell volume as
well as transmembrane fluxes of Ca++ and Excitatory Amino Acids. In the present study, Na+, K+-ATPase activity of rat brain regions [Olfactory lobes (OL), Cerebral cortex (CC), Cerebellum (CL), and Medulla oblongata
(MO)] during CS was investigated. Experimental model of CS in albino rats was induced by 2-h of compression followed by 2,
24, and 48-h of decompression of femoral muscle tissue. In this study, we have observed elevation in Na+, K+-ATPase activity above normal/control levels in all parts of brain (OL: 34.4%; CC: 1.0%; CL: 3.3% and MO: 45%) during 2-h
compression in comparison to controls. 相似文献

Glutamate transport (GluT) in brain is mediated chiefly by two transporters GLT and GLAST, both driven by ionic gradients
generated by (Na+, K+)-dependent ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase). GLAST is located in astrocytes and its function is regulated by translocations from cytoplasm to plasma membrane
in the presence of GluT substrates. The phenomenon is blocked by a naturally occurring toxin rottlerin. We have recently suggested
that rottlerin acts by inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase. We now report that Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitors digoxin and ouabain also blocked the redistribution of GLAST in cultured astrocytes, however, neither of
the compounds caused detectable inhibition of ATPase activity in cell-free astrocyte homogenates (rottlerin inhibited app.
80% of Pi production from ATP in the astrocyte homogenates, IC50 = 25 μM). Therefore, while we may not have established a
direct link between GLAST regulation and Na+/K+-ATPase activity we have shown that both ouabain and digoxin can interfere with GluT transport and therefore should be considered
potentially neurotoxic. 相似文献

Our previous investigations have established that Na+ translocation across the Tetraselmis viridis plasma membrane (PM) mediated by the primary ATP-driven Na+-pump, Na+-ATPase, is accompanied by H+ counter-transport [Y.V. Balnokin et al. (1999) FEBS Lett 462:402–406]. The hypothesis that the Na+-ATPase of T. viridis operates as an Na+/H+ exchanger is tested in the present work. The study of Na+ and H+ transport in PM vesicles isolated from T. viridis demonstrated that the membrane-permeant anion NO3– caused (i) an increase in ATP-driven Na+ uptake by the vesicles, (ii) an increase in (Na++ATP)-dependent vesicle lumen alkalization resulting from H+ efflux out of the vesicles and (iii) dissipation of electrical potential, , generated across the vesicle membrane by the Na+-ATPase. The (Na++ATP)-dependent lumen alkalization was not significantly affected by valinomycin, addition of which in the presence of K+ abolished at the vesicle membrane. The fact that the Na+-ATPase-mediated alkalization of the vesicle lumen is sustained in the absence of the transmembrane is consistent with a primary role of the Na+-ATPase in driving H+ outside the vesicles. The findings allowed us to conclude that the Na+-ATPase of T. viridis directly performs an exchange of Na+ for H+. Since the Na+-ATPase generates electric potential across the vesicle membrane, the transport stoichiometry is mNa+/nH+, where m>n.Abbreviations BTP Bis-Tris-Propane, 1,3-bis[tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamino]-propane - CCCP Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone - DTT Dithiothreitol - NCDC 2-Nitro-4-carboxyphenyl N,N-diphenylcarbamate - PMSF Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride - PM Plasma membrane 相似文献

This study examined the osmoregulatory status of the euryhaline elasmobranch Carcharhinus leucas acclimated to freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW). Juvenile C. leucas captured in FW (3 mOsm l–1 kg–1) were acclimated to SW (980–1,000 mOsm l–1 kg–1) over 16 days. A FW group was maintained in captivity over a similar time period. In FW, bull sharks were hyper-osmotic regulators, having a plasma osmolarity of 595 mOsm l–1 kg–1. In SW, bull sharks had significantly higher plasma osmolarities (940 mOsm l–1 kg–1) than FW-acclimated animals and were slightly hypo-osmotic to the environment. Plasma Na+, Cl–, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, urea and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) concentrations were all significantly higher in bull sharks acclimated to SW, with urea and TMAO showing the greatest increase. Gill, rectal gland, kidney and intestinal tissue were taken from animals acclimated to FW and SW and analysed for maximal Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Na+/K+-ATPase activity in the gills and intestine was less than 1 mmol Pi mg–1 protein h–1 and there was no difference in activity between FW- and SW-acclimated animals. In contrast Na+/K+-ATPase activity in the rectal gland and kidney were significantly higher than gill and intestine and showed significant differences between the FW- and SW-acclimated groups. In FW and SW, rectal gland Na+/K+-ATPase activity was 5.6±0.8 and 9.2±0.6 mmol Pi mg–1 protein h–1, respectively. Na+/K+-ATPase activity in the kidney of FW and SW acclimated animals was 8.4±1.1 and 3.3±1.1 Pi mg–1 protein h–1, respectively. Thus juvenile bull sharks have the osmoregulatory plasticity to acclimate to SW; their preference for the upper reaches of rivers where salinity is low is therefore likely to be for predator avoidance and/or increased food abundance rather than because of a physiological constraint. 相似文献

A ouabain sensitive inward current occurs in Xenopus oocytes in Na+ and K+ -free solutions. Several laboratories have investigated the properties of this current and suggested that acidic extracellular pH (pHo) produces a conducting pathway through the Na+/K+ pump that is permeable to H+ and blocked by [Na+]o. An alternative suggestion is that the current is mediated by an electrogenic H+-ATPase. Here we investigate the effect of pHo and [Na+]o on both transient and steady-state ouabain-sensitive current. At alkaline or neutral pHo the relaxation rate of pre-steady-state current is an exponential function of voltage. Its U-shaped voltage dependence becomes apparent at acidic pHo, as predicted by a model in which protonation of the Na+/K+ pump reduces the energy barrier between the internal solution and the Na+ occluded state. The model also predicts that acidic pHo increases steady-state current leak through the pump. The apparent pK of the titratable group(s) is 6, suggesting that histidine is involved in induction of the conductance pathway. 22Na efflux experiments in squid giant axon and current measurements in oocytes at acidic pHo suggest that both Na+ and H+ are permeant. The acid-induced inward current is reduced by high [Na+]o, consistent with block by Na+. A least squares analysis predicts that H+ is four orders of magnitude more permeant than Na+, and that block occurs when 3 Na+ ions occupy a low affinity binding site (K
0.5=130±30 mM) with a dielectric coefficient of 0.23±0.03. These data support the conclusion that the ouabain-sensitive conducting pathway is a result of passive leak of both Na+ and H+ through the Na+/K+ pump. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of salinity on the relationship between Na+-K+-ATPase and sulfogalactosyl ceramide (SGC) in the basolateral membrane of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gill epithelium. SGC has been implicated as a cofactor in Na+-K+-ATPase activity, especially in Na+-K+-ATPase rich tissues. However, whole-tissue studies have questioned this role in the fish gill. We re-examined SGC cofactor function from a gill basolateral membrane perspective. Nine SGC fatty acid species were quantified by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and related to Na+-K+-ATPase activity in trout acclimated to freshwater or brackish water (20 ppt). While Na+-K+-ATPase activity increased, the total concentration and relative proportion of SGC isoforms remained constant between salinities. However, we noted a negative correlation between SGC concentration and Na+-K+-ATPase activity in fish exposed to brackish water, whereas no correlation existed in fish acclimated to freshwater. Differential Na+-K+-ATPase/SGC sensitivity is discussed in relation to enzyme isoform switching, the SGC cofactor site model and saltwater adaptation.This revised version was published online in June 2005 with a corrected cover date. 相似文献

The expression of Na+, K+-ATPase α3 subunit and synaptosomal membrane Na+, K+-ATPase activity were analyzed after administration of ouabain and endobain E, respectively commercial and endogenous Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitors. Wistar rats received intracerebroventricularly ouabain or endobain E dissolved in saline solution or Tris–HCl,
respectively or the vehicles (controls). Two days later, animals were decapitated, cerebral cortex and hippocampus removed
and crude and synaptosomal membrane fractions were isolated. Western blot analysis showed that Na+, K+-ATPase α3 subunit expression increased roughly 40% after administration of 10 or 100 nmoles ouabain in cerebral cortex but
remained unaltered in hippocampus. After administration of 10 μl endobain E (1 μl = 28 mg tissue) Na+, K+-ATPase α3 subunit enhanced 130% in cerebral cortex and 103% in hippocampus. The activity of Na+, K+-ATPase in cortical synaptosomal membranes diminished or increased after administration of ouabain or endobain E, respectively.
It is concluded that Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitors modify differentially the expression of Na+, K+-ATPase α3 subunit and enzyme activity, most likely involving compensatory mechanisms. 相似文献

Previous studies showed that endobain E, an endogenous Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor, decreases dizocilpine binding to NMDA receptor in isolated membranes. The effect of endobain E on expression
of NMDA receptor subunits in membranes of rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus was analyzed by Western blot. Two days after
administration of 10 μl endobain E (1 μl = 29 mg fresh tissue) NR1 subunit expression enhanced 5-fold and 2.5-fold in cerebral
cortex and hippocampus, respectively. NR2A subunit expression increased 2-fold in cerebral cortex and 1.5-fold in hippocampus.
The level of NR2B subunit raised 3-fold in cerebral cortex but remained unaltered in hippocampus. NR2C subunit expression
was unaffected in either area. NR2D subunit enhanced 1.6 and 2.1-fold for cerebral cortex and hippocampus, respectively. Results
indicate that endogenous Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor endobain E differentially modifies the expression of NMDA receptor subunits. 相似文献

This study addresses the mechanisms of oxygen-induced regulation of ion transport pathways in mouse erythrocyte, specifically focusing on the role of cellular redox state and ATP levels. Mouse erythrocytes possess Na+/K+ pump, K+-Cl– and Na+-K+-2Cl– cotransporters that have been shown to be potential targets of oxygen. The activity of neither cotransporter changed in response to hypoxia-reoxygenation. In contrast, the Na+/K+ pump responded to hypoxic treatment with reversible inhibition. Hypoxia-induced inhibition was abolished in Na+-loaded cells, revealing no effect of O2 on the maximal operation rate of the pump. Notably, the inhibitory effect of hypoxia was not followed by changes in cellular ATP levels. Hypoxic exposure did, however, lead to a rapid increase in cellular glutathione (GSH) levels. Decreasing GSH to normoxic levels under hypoxic conditions abolished hypoxia-induced inhibition of the pump. Furthermore, GSH added to the incubation medium was able to mimic hypoxia-induced inhibition. Taken together these data suggest a pivotal role of intracellular GSH in oxygen-induced modulation of the Na+/K+ pump activity. 相似文献

The effect of ANG II on pHi, [Ca2+]i and cell volume was investigated in T84 cells, a cell line originated from colon epithelium, using the probes BCECF-AM, Fluo
4-AM and acridine orange, respectively. The recovery rate of pHi via the Na+/H+ exchanger was examined in the first 2 min following the acidification of pHi with a NH4Cl pulse. In the control situation, the pHi recovery rate was 0.118 ± 0.001 (n = 52) pH units/min and ANG II (10−12 M or 10−9 M) increased this value (by 106% or 32%, respectively) but ANG II (10−7 M) decreased it to 47%. The control [Ca2+]i was 99 ± 4 (n = 45) nM and ANG II increased this value in a dose-dependent manner. The ANG II effects on cell volume were minor and late
and should not interfere in the measurements of pHi recovery and [Ca2+]i. To document the signaling pathways in the hormonal effects we used: Staurosporine (a PKC inhibitor), W13 (a calcium-dependent
calmodulin antagonist), H89 (a PKA inhibitor) or Econazole (an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 epoxygenase). Our results indicate
that the biphasic effect of ANG II on Na+/H+ exchanger is a cAMP-independent mechanism and is the result of: 1) stimulation of the exchanger by PKC signaling pathway
activation (at 10−12 – 10−7 M ANG II) and by increases of [Ca2+]i in the lower range (at 10−12 M ANG II) and 2) inhibition of the exchanger at high [Ca2+]i levels (at 10−9 – 10−7 M ANG II) through cytochrome P450 epoxygenase-dependent metabolites of the arachidonic acid signaling pathway. 相似文献

Adult frog skin transports Na+ from the apical to the basolateral side across the skin. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is involved in the regulation of Na+ transport in both mammals and amphibians. We investigated the effect of arginine vasotocin (AVT), the ADH of amphibians,
on the short-circuit current (SCC) across intact skin and on the basolateral Na+/K+-pump current across apically nystatin-permeabilized skin of the tree frog, Hyla japonica, in which the V2-type ADH receptor is expressed in vitro. In intact skin, 1 pM AVT had no effect on the SCC, but 10 nM AVT was sufficient
to stimulate the SCC since 10 nM and 1 μM of AVT increased the SCC 3.2- and 3.4-fold, respectively (P > 0.9). However, in permeabilized skin, AVT (1 μM) decreased the Na+/K+-pump current to 0.79 times vehicle control. Similarly, 500 μM of 8Br-cAMP increased the SCC 3.2-fold, yet 1 mM of 8Br-cAMP
decreased the Na+/K+-pump current to 0.76 times vehicle control. Arachidonic acid (10−5 M) tended to decrease the Na+/K+-pump current. To judge from these in vitro experiments, AVT has the potential to inhibit the basolateral Na+/K+-pump current via the V2-type receptor/cAMP pathway in the skin of the tree frog. 相似文献

Four Na+/H+ antiporters, Mrp, TetA(L), NhaC, and MleN have so far been described in Bacillus subtilis 168. We identified an additional Na+/H+ antiporter, YvgP, from B. subtilis that exhibits homology to the cation: proton antiporter-1 (CPA-1) family. The yvgP-dependent complementation observed in a Na+(Ca2+)/H+ antiporter-defective Escherichia coli mutant (KNabc) suggested that YvgP effluxed Na+ and Li+. In addition, effects of yvgP expression on a K+ uptake-defective mutant of E. coli indicated that YvgP also supported K+ efflux. In a fluorescence-based assay of everted membrane vesicles prepared from E. coli KNabc transformants, YvgP-dependent Na+ (K+, Li+, Rb+)/H+ antiport activity was demonstrated. Na+ (K+, Li+)/H+ activity was higher at pH 8.5 than at pH 7.5. Mg2+, Ca2+ and Mn2+ did not serve as substrates but they inhibited YvgP antiport activities. Studies of yvgP expression in B. subtilis, using a reporter gene fusion, showed a significant constitutive level of expression that was highest in stationary phase,
increasing as stationary phase progressed. In addition, the expression level was significantly increased in the presence of
added K+ and Na+. 相似文献

It is known that permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane is low to most univalent cations (K+, Na+, H+) but high to Tl+. Swelling, state 4, state 3, and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP)-stimulated respiration as well as the membrane potential (ΔΨmito) of rat liver mitochondria were studied in media containing 0–75 mM TlNO3 either with 250 mM sucrose or with 125 mM nitrate salts of other monovalent cations (KNO3, or NaNO3, or NH4NO3). Tl+ increased permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane to K+, Na+, and H+, that was manifested as stimulation of the swelling of nonenergized and energized mitochondria as well as via an increase
of state 4 and dissipation of ΔΨmito. These effects of Tl+ increased in the order of sucrose <K+ <Na+ ≤ NH4+. They were stimulated by inorganic phosphate and decreased by ADP, Mg2+, and cyclosporine A. Contraction of energized mitochondria, swollen in the nitrate media, was markedly inhibited by quinine.
It suggests participation of the mitochondrial K+/H+ exchanger in extruding of Tl+-induced excess of univalent cations from the mitochondrial matrix. It is discussed that Tl+ (like Cd2+ and other heavy metals) increases the ion permeability of the inner membrane of mitochondria regardless of their energization
and stimulates the mitochondrial permeability transition pore in low conductance state. The observed decrease of state 3 and
DNP-stimulated respiration in the nitrate media resulted from the mitochondrial swelling rather than from an inhibition of
respiratory enzymes as is the case with the bivalent heavy metals. 相似文献

The NADH dehydrogenase I from Escherichia coli is a bacterial homolog of the mitochondrial complex I which translocates Na+ rather than H+. To elucidate the mechanism of Na+ transport, the C-terminally truncated NuoL subunit (NuoLN) which is related to Na+/H+ antiporters was expressed as a protein A fusion protein (ProtA–NuoLN) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which lacks an endogenous complex I. The fusion protein inserted into membranes from the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER), as
confirmed by differential centrifugation and Western analysis. Membrane vesicles containing ProtA–NuoLN catalyzed the uptake of Na+ and K+ at rates which were significantly higher than uptake by the control vesicles under identical conditions, demonstrating that
ProtA–NuoLN translocated Na+ and K+ independently from other complex I subunits. Na+ transport by ProtA–NuoLN was inhibited by EIPA (5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-amiloride) which specifically reacts with Na+/H+ antiporters. The cation selectivity and function of the NuoL subunit as a transporter module of the NADH dehydrogenase complex
is discussed.

A membrane fraction enriched in plasma membrane (PM) vesicles was isolated from the root cells of a salt-accumulating halophyte Suaeda altissima (L.) Pall. by means of centrifugation in discontinuous sucrose density gradient. The PM vesicles were capable of generating ΔpH at their membrane and the transmembrane electric potential difference (Δψ). These quantities were measured with optical probes, acridine orange and oxonol VI, sensitive to ΔpH and Δψ, respectively. The ATP-dependent generation of ΔpH was sensitive to vanadate, an inhibitor of P-type ATPases. The results contain evidence for the functioning of H+-ATPase in the PM of the root cells of S. altissima. The addition of Na+ and Li+ ions to the outer medium resulted in dissipation of ΔpH preformed by the H+-ATPase, which indicates the presence in PM of the functionally active Na+/H+ antiporter. The results are discussed with regard to involvement of the Na+/H+ antiporter and the PM H+-ATPase in loading Na+ ions into the xylem of S. altissima roots. 相似文献

Na+, K+-ATPase is inhibited by neurotensin, an effect which involves the peptide high affinity receptor (NTS1). Neurotensin effect
on cerebral cortex synaptosomal membrane Na+, K+-ATPase activity of rats injected i.p. with antipsychotic clozapine was studied. Whereas 3.5 × 10−6 M neurotensin decreased 44% Na+, K+-ATPase activity in the controls, the peptide failed to modify enzyme activity 30 min after a single 3.0, 10.0 and 30.0 mg/kg
clozapine dose. Neurotensin decreased Na+, K+-ATPase activity 40 or 20% 18 h after 3.0 or 5.6 mg/kg clozapine administration, respectively, and lacked inhibitory effect
18 h after 17.8 and 30.0 mg/kg clozapine doses. Results indicated that the clozapine treatment differentially modifies the
further effect of neurotensin on synaptosomal membrane Na+, K+-ATPase activity according to time and dose conditions employed. Taken into account that clozapine blocks the dopaminergic
D2 receptor, findings obtained favor the view of an interplay among neurotensinergic receptor, dopaminergic D2 receptor and
Na+, K+-ATPase at synaptic membranes. 相似文献
