The Gibbs-Donnan near-equilibrium system of heart 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The gradients of the major inorganic ions across the plasma membrane of heart were examined to determine the factors controlling the extent and direction of the changes induced during injury, certain diseases, and electrolyte disturbances. The ionic environment was altered by changing only the concentration of inorganic phosphate, [sigma Pi]o, from 0 to 1.2 to 5 mM in the Krebs-Henseleit buffer perfusing working rat hearts. Raising [sigma Pi]o from 1.2 to 5 mM resulted in a decrease in total Mg2+ content and calculated free cytosolic [Mg2+] from 0.44 to 0.04 mM, conversion of 4 mmol of MgATP2- to ATP4- and a decrease in measured intracellular [Cl-]i from 41 to 16 mM. At all levels of [sigma Pi]o, both the [Na+]i and [K+]i were invariant at about 3 mM and 130 mM, respectively, as was the energy of hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate bond of sigma ATP, delta GATP Hydr, of -13.2 kcal/mol. The relationship maintained between the ions on both sides of the plasma membrane by the 3Na+/2K(+)transporting ATPase (EC 3.6.1.37) and an open K+ channel was: (formula; see text) The energy of the gradients of the other inorganic ions across the plasma membrane, delta G[ion]o/i, exhibited three distinct quanta of energy derived from the prime quantum of delta GATP Hydr of -13.2 kcal/mol. The second quantum was about one-third of delta GATP Hydr or +/- 4.4 kcal/mol and comprised the delta G[Na+]o/i, delta G[Mg2+]o/i, and delta G[HPO42-]o/i. These results indicated near-equilibrium was achieved by the reactants of the 3Na+/2K(+)-ATPase, the K+ channel, the Na(+)-Pi co-transporter, and a postulated net Mg2+/H2PO4- exchanger. The third quantum was one-third of delta G[Na+]o/i or about +/- 1.5 kcal/mol and comprised delta G[H+]o/i, delta G[HCO3-]o/i, and delta G[Cl-]o/i. The delta G[K+]o/i was 0, indicating near-equilibrium between the chemical energy of [K+]o/i and the E across the plasma membrane of -83 mV. It is concluded that the gradients of the major inorganic ions across the plasma membrane and the potential across that membrane constitute a Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium system catalyzed by transport enzymes sharing common substrates. The chemical and electrical energies of those gradients are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

Previous studies have indicated that 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) inhibits Na+ transport in the medullary thick ascending loop of Henle (mTALH), but the mechanisms involved remain uncertain. The present study compared the effects of 20-HETE with those of ouabain and furosemide on intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i), Na+ -K+ -ATPase activity, and 86Rb+ uptake, an index of Na+ transport, in mTALH isolated from rats. Ouabain (2 mM) increased, whereas furosemide (100 microM) decreased, [Na+]i in the mTALH of rats. Ouabain and furosemide inhibited 86Rb+ uptake by 91 and 30%, respectively. 20-HETE (1 microM) had a similar effect as ouabain and increased [Na+]i from 19 +/- 1 to 30 +/- 1 mM. 20-HETE reduced Na+ -K+ -ATPase activity by 30% and 86Rb+ uptake by 37%, but it had no effect on 86Rb+ uptake or [Na+]i in the mTALH of rats pretreated with ouabain. 20-HETE inhibited 86Rb+ uptake by 12% and increased [Na+]i by 19 mM in mTALH pretreated with furosemide. These findings indicate that 20-HETE secondarily inhibits Na+ transport in the mTALH of the rat, at least, in part by inhibiting the Na+ -K+ -ATPase activity and raising [Na+]i. 相似文献

Agonist-specific regulation of [Na+]i in pancreatic acinar cells 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
《The Journal of general physiology》1995,106(6):1243-1263
In a companion paper (Zhao, H., and S. Muallem. 1995), we describe the relationship between the major Na+,K+, and Cl- transporters in resting pancreatic acinar cells. The present study evaluated the role of the different transporters in regulating [Na+]i and electrolyte secretion during agonist stimulation. Cell stimulation increased [Na+]i and 86Rb influx in an agonist-specific manner. Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonists, such as carbachol and cholecystokinin, activated Na+ influx by a tetraethylammonium-sensitive channel and the Na+/H+ exchanger to rapidly increase [Na+]i from approximately 11.7 mM to between 34 and 39 mM. As a consequence, the NaK2Cl cotransporter was largely inhibited and the activity of the Na+ pump increased to mediate most of the 86Rb(K+) uptake into the cells. Secretin, which increases cAMP, activated the NaK2Cl cotransporter and the Na+/H+ exchanger to slowly increase [Na+]i from approximately 11.7 mM to an average of 24.6 mM. Accordingly, secretin increased total 86Rb uptake more than the Ca(2+)- mobilizing agonists and the apparent coupling between the NaK2Cl cotransport and the Na+ pump. All the effects of secretin could be attributed to an increase in cAMP, since forskolin affected [Na+]i and 86Rb fluxes similar to secretin. The signaling pathways mediating the effects of the Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonists were less clear. Although an increase in [Ca2+]i was required, it was not sufficient to account for the effect of the agonists. Activation of protein kinase C stimulated the NaK2Cl cotransporter to increase [Na+]i and 86Rb fluxes without preventing the inhibition of the cotransporter by Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonists. The effects of the agonists were not mediated by changes in cell volume, since cell swelling and shrinkage did not reproduce the effect of the agonists on [Na+]i and 86Rb fluxes. The overall findings of the relationships between the various Na+,K+, and Cl- transporters in resting and stimulated pancreatic acinar cells are discussed in terms of possible models of fluid and electrolyte secretion by these cells. 相似文献

The effects of hyperthermia (41-43 degrees C) on the membrane potential (calculated from the transmembrane distribution of [3H]tetraphenylphosphonium) and Na+ transport of Chinese hamster V79 fibroblasts were studied. At 41 degrees C, hyperthermia induced a membrane hyperpolarization of log phase cells (5 to 26 mV) that was reversible upon returning to 37 degrees C. The hyperpolarization was inhibited 50% by 1 mM ouabain or 0.25 mM amiloride, an inhibitor of Na+:H+ exchange. Shifting temperature to 41 degrees C increased ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake indicating activation of the electrogenic Na+ pump. At 43 degrees C for 60 min, the membrane potential of log phase cells depolarized (20-35 mV). Parallel studies demonstrated enhanced Na+ uptake at 41 degrees C only in the presence of ouabain. At 43 degrees C, Na+ uptake was increased relative to controls with or without ouabain present. At both 41 and 43 degrees C, 0.25 mM amiloride inhibited heat-stimulated Na+ uptake. Na+ efflux was enhanced at 41 degrees C in a process inhibited by ouabain. Thus, one consequence of heat treatment at 41 degrees C is activation of Na+:H+ exchange with the resultant increase in cytosolic [Na+] activating the electrogenic Na+ pump. At temperatures greater than or equal to 43 degrees C, the Na+ pump is inhibited. 相似文献

Sodium ion influx in proliferating lymphocytes: an early component of the mitogenic signal 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Stimulation of pig peripheral blood lymphocytes with concanavalin A (Con A) provoked a rapid increase (two- to threefold) in the rate of ouabain-inhibitable K+ uptake observable within 3-10 min of stimulation with mitogen. At least two phases can be distinguished in the activation of the Na+/K+ pump: the early phase (till 3 h) is characterized by an unaltered number of ouabain binding sites and the later phase (noted at 5 h) by an increased number of such sites. Both K+ efflux and influx increased to the same extent, thereby maintaining [K+]i at the same level as in resting cells (120 mM). Within 3 min of addition of mitogen, the rates of total and amiloride-inhibitable Na+ uptake went up two- and fourfold, respectively, thus resulting in rapid increase in [Na+]i from 20 to about 50 mM. Activation of the Na+/K+ pump was not observed when the cells were stimulated with Con A in low Na+ medium (9 mM), nor did the usual rise in [Na+]i occur. When monensin (30 microM), a Na+/H+ ionophore, was added to resting cells, an increase in both [Na+]i and active K+ uptake occurred in normal medium but not when cells were suspended in low Na+ isotonic buffer. Amiloride (500 microM), on the other hand, prevented both the Con A-induced increase in [Na+]i and the activation of the Na+/K+ pump. Despite complete inhibition of the Na+,K+-ATPase in the presence of ouabain (1 mM), Con A activated the amiloride-inhibitable Na+ uptake in the usual way. In mouse splenocytes stimulated with Con A, there was also a parallel rise in both [Na+]i and active K+ uptake but this took considerably longer to occur than was the case in pig peripheral blood lymphocytes. Increase in both ionic fluxes, the former passive and the latter active, is essential to the entry and maintenance of the cells in proliferative cycle. 相似文献

Triads and transverse tubules isolated from mammalian skeletal muscle actively accumulated Na+ in the presence of K+ and Mg-ATP. Active Na+ transport exhibited a fast single-exponential phase, lasting 2 min, followed by slower linear uptake that continued for 10 minutes. Valinomycin stimulated Na+ uptake, suggesting it decreased a pump-generated membrane potential gradient (Vm) that prevented further Na+ accumulation. At the end of the fast uptake phase transverse tubule vesicles incubated in 30 mM external [Na+] attained a ratio [Na+]in/[Na+]out=13.4. From this ratio and the transverse tubule volume of 0.35 microl/mg protein measured in this work, [Na+]in=400 mM was calculated. Determinations of active K+ transport in triads, using 86Rb+ as tracer, showed a 30% decrease in vesicular 86Rb+ content two minutes after initiating the reaction, followed by a slower uptake phase during which vesicles regained their initial 86Rb+ content after 10 minutes. Transverse tubule volume increase during active Na+ transport-as shown by light scattering changes of isolated vesicles--presumably accounted for the secondary Na+ and 86Rb+ uptake phases. These combined results indicate that isolated triads have highly sealed transverse tubules that can be polarized effectively by the Na+ pump through the generation of significant Na+ gradients. 相似文献

Using K+-selective microelectrodes, [K+]o was measured in the subretinal space of the isolated retina of the toad, Bufo marinus. During maintained illumination, [K+]o fell to a minimum and then recovered to a steady level that was approximately 0.1 mM below its dark level. Spatial buffering of [K+]o by Müller (glial) cells could contribute to this reaccumulation of K+. However, superfusion with substances that might be expected to block glial transport of K+ had no significant effect upon the reaccumulation of K+. These substances included blockers of gK (TEA+, Cs+, Rb+, 4-AP) and a gliotoxin (alpha AAA). Progressive slowing of the rods' Na+/K+ pump (perhaps caused by a light-evoked decrease in [Na+]i) also could contribute to this reaccumulation of K+ by reducing the uptake of K+ from the subretinal space. As evidence for a major contribution by this mechanism, treatments designed to prevent such slowing of the pump reversibly blocked reaccumulation. These treatments included superfusion with 2 microM ouabain, or lowering [K+]o, PO2, or temperature. It is likely that such treatments inhibit the pump, increase [Na+]i, and attenuate any light-evoked decrease in [Na+]i. The results are consistent with the following hypothesis. At light onset, the decrease in rod gNa will reduce the Na+ influx and the resulting rod hyperpolarization will reduce the K+ efflux. In combination with these reduced passive fluxes, the continuing active fluxes will lower both [K+]o and [Na+]i, which in turn will inhibit the pump. In support of this hypothesis, the solutions to a pair of coupled differential equations that model changes in both [K+]o and [Na+]i match quantitatively the time course of the observed changes in [K+]o during and after maintained illumination for all stimuli examined. 相似文献

Na+, K+, and Cl- transport in resting pancreatic acinar cells 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
《The Journal of general physiology》1995,106(6):1225-1242
To understand the role of Na+, K+, and Cl- transporters in fluid and electrolyte secretion by pancreatic acinar cells, we studied the relationship between them in resting and stimulated cells. Measurements of [Cl-]i in resting cells showed that in HCO3(-)-buffered medium [Cl- ]i and Cl- fluxes are dominated by the Cl-/HCO3- exchanger. In the absence of HCO3-, [Cl-]i is regulated by NaCl and NaK2Cl cotransport systems. Measurements of [Na+]i showed that the Na(+)-coupled Cl- transporters contributed to the regulation of [Na+]i, but the major Na+ influx pathway in resting pancreatic acinar cells is the Na+/H+ exchanger. 86Rb influx measurements revealed that > 95% of K+ influx is mediated by the Na+ pump and the NaK2Cl cotransporter. In resting cells, the two transporters appear to be coupled through [K+]i in that inhibition of either transporter had small effect on 86Rb uptake, but inhibition of both transporters largely prevented 86Rb uptake. Another form of coupling occurs between the Na+ influx transporters and the Na+ pump. Thus, inhibition of NaK2Cl cotransport increased Na+ influx by the Na+/H+ exchanger to fuel the Na+ pump. Similarly, inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange increased the activity of the NaK2Cl cotransporter. The combined measurements of [Na+]i and 86Rb influx indicate that the Na+/H+ exchanger contributes twice more than the NaK2Cl cotransporter and three times more than the NaCl cotransporter and a tetraethylammonium-sensitive channel to Na+ influx in resting cells. These findings were used to develop a model for the relationship between the transporters in resting pancreatic acinar cells. 相似文献

Results obtained with adipocyte ghosts indicated that the relative pumping activities of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 isoforms of the (Na+,K+) pump depend strongly on intracellular sodium concentration, [Na+]i (McGill, D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 15817-15823). Accordingly, [Na+]i was determined in rat adipocytes as a function of ouabain concentration and found to increase gradually as the concentration of ouabain increased. Incubation conditions were therefore designed such that the [Na+]i at 0 M and 10(-5) M ouabain were identical, in order to study the activities of both forms of the pump under identical conditions. Under these conditions, the alpha 2 isozyme accounts for 42% of the total pumping activity; these data prove that the activity of the alpha 2 isozyme is suppressed to a much greater extent than that of the alpha 1 isozyme, in relation to maximally obtainable activities measured in plasma membranes (Lytton J., Lin, J.C., and Guidotti, G. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 1177-1184). Furthermore, insulin stimulation of 86Rb+/K+ uptake in adipocytes results from a 58 and a 128% increase in the activities of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 isozymes (Na+,K+) pump, respectively. In addition, it is shown that under the conditions used to determine the [Na+]i dependence of 86Rb+/K+ uptake into adipocytes (0 mM KCl, various [NaCl]), [Na+]i decreases rapidly upon the addition of KCl/86RbCl for the initiation of the uptake measurement. By making uptake measurements quickly after the addition of KCl to eliminate the effect of a decreasing [Na+]i, we demonstrate that the stimulation of the alpha 1 isozyme is due to a small decrease in the K0.5Na+ whereas the stimulation of the alpha 2 isozyme results from a decrease in the K0.5Na+ and an increase in the Vmax. 相似文献

The relationships between Na/K pump activity and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production were determined in isolated rat brain synaptosomes. The activity of the enzyme was modulated by altering [K+]e, [Na+]i, and [ATP]i while synaptosomal oxygen uptake and lactate production were measured simultaneously. KCl increased respiration and glycolysis with an apparent Km of about 1 mM which suggests that, at the [K+]e normally present in brain, 3.3-4 mM, the pump is near saturation with this cation. Depolarization with 6-40 mM KCl had negligible effect on ouabain-sensitive O2 uptake indicating that at the voltages involved the activity of the Na/K ATPase is largely independent of membrane potential. Increases in [Na+]i by addition of veratridine markedly enhanced glycoside-inhibitable respiration and lactate production. Calculations of the rates of ATP synthesis necessary to support the operation of the pump showed that greater than 90% of the energy was derived from oxidative phosphorylation. Consistent with this: (a) the ouabain-sensitive Rb/O2 ratio was close to 12 (i.e., Rb/ATP ratio of 2); (b) inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthesis by Amytal resulted in a decrease in the glycoside-dependent rate of 86Rb uptake. Analyses of the mechanisms responsible for activation of the energy-producing pathways during enhanced Na and K movements indicate that glycolysis is predominantly stimulated by increase in activity of phosphofructokinase mediated via a rise in the concentrations of adenosine monophosphate [AMP] and inorganic phosphate [Pi] and a fall in the concentration of phosphocreatine [PCr]; the main moving force for the elevation in mitochondrial ATP generation is the decline in [ATP]/[ADP] [Pi] (or equivalent) and consequent readjustments in the ratio of the intramitochondrial pyridine nucleotides [( NAD]m/[NADH]m). Direct stimulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase by calcium appears to be of secondary importance. It is concluded that synaptosomal Na/K pump is fueled primarily by oxidative phosphorylation and that a fall in [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] is the chief factor responsible for increased energy production. 相似文献

This study explores the effect of extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o), on the intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i), in frog intact hearts using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which allows for the measurement of [Na+]i in perfused, beating hearts. Decreases in [Ca2+]o yielded marked increases in [Na+]i. A similar effect was seen during inhibition of the Na+/K+ pump and was fully reversible. This sensitivity of [Na+]i to [Ca2+]o, previously observed using microelectrodes, supports a crucial physiological role for Na+/Ca2+ exchange in frog intact, beating hearts. 相似文献

On incubation of HeLa cells in chilled isotonic medium, intracellular Na+ (Nac+) increased and K+ (Kc+) decreased with time, reaching steady levels after 3 h. The steady levels varied in parallel with the extracellular cation concentrations ([Na+]e, [K+]e). The cell volumes and the protein and water contents, respectively, of cells kept for 3 h in chilled media of various [Na+]e and [K+]e were not significantly different. Ouabain-sensitive Rb+ influx took place at the initial rate for a certain period which depended on [Na+]c at the beginning of the assays. The existence of two external K+ loading sites per Na+/K+-pump was demonstrated. The affinities of the sites for Rb+ as a congener of K+ were almost the same. Na+e inhibited ouabain-sensitive Rb+ influx competitively, whereas K+ was not inhibitory. Kinetic parameters were determined: the K 1/2 for Rbe+ in the absence of Na+e was 0.16 mM and th Ki for Na+e was 36.8 mM; the K 1/2 for Na+c was 19.5 mM and the Ki for K+c seemed to be extremely large. The rate equation of the ouabain-sensitive Rb+ influx suggests that Na+ and K+ are exchanged alternately through the pump by a binary mechanism. 相似文献

Coupled Na+ exit/Ca2+ entry (Na/Ca exchange operating in the Ca2+ influx mode) was studied in giant barnacle muscle cells by measuring 22Na+ efflux and 45Ca2+ influx in internally perfused, ATP-fueled cells in which the Na+ pump was poisoned by 0.1 mM ouabain. Internal free Ca2+, [Ca2+]i, was controlled with a Ca-EGTA buffering system containing 8 mM EGTA and varying amounts of Ca2+. Ca2+ sequestration in internal stores was inhibited with caffeine and a mitochondrial uncoupler (FCCP). To maximize conditions for Ca2+ influx mode Na/Ca exchange, and to eliminate tracer Na/Na exchange, all of the external Na+ in the standard Na+ sea water (NaSW) was replaced by Tris or Li+ (Tris-SW or LiSW, respectively). In both Na-free solutions an external Ca2+ (Cao)-dependent Na+ efflux was observed when [Ca2+]i was increased above 10(-8) M; this efflux was half-maximally activated by [Ca2+]i = 0.3 microM (LiSW) to 0.7 microM (Tris-SW). The Cao-dependent Na+ efflux was half-maximally activated by [Ca2+]o = 2.0 mM in LiSW and 7.2 mM in Tris-SW; at saturating [Ca2+]o, [Ca2+]i, and [Na+]i the maximal (calculated) Cao-dependent Na+ efflux was approximately 75 pmol#cm2.s. This efflux was inhibited by external Na+ and La3+ with IC50's of approximately 125 and 0.4 mM, respectively. A Nai-dependent Ca2+ influx was also observed in Tris-SW. This Ca2+ influx also required [Ca2+]i greater than 10(-8) M. Internal Ca2+ activated a Nai-independent Ca2+ influx from LiSW (tracer Ca/Ca exchange), but in Tris-SW virtually all of the Cai-activated Ca2+ influx was Nai-dependent (Na/Ca exchange). Half-maximal activation was observed with [Na+]i = 30 mM. The fact that internal Ca2+ activates both a Cao-dependent Na+ efflux and a Nai-dependent Ca2+ influx in Tris-SW implies that these two fluxes are coupled; the activating (intracellular) Ca2+ does not appear to be transported by the exchanger. The maximal (calculated) Nai-dependent Ca2+ influx was -25 pmol/cm2.s. At various [Na+]i between 6 and 106 mM, the ratio of the Cao-dependent Na+ efflux to the Nai-dependent Ca2+ influx was 2.8-3.2:1 (mean = 3.1:1); this directly demonstrates that the stoichiometry (coupling ratio) of the Na/Ca exchange is 3:1. These observations on the coupling ratio and kinetics of the Na/Ca exchanger imply that in resting cells the exchanger turns over at a low rate because of the low [Ca2+]i; much of the Ca2+ extrusion at rest (approximately 1 pmol/cm2.s) is thus mediated by an ATP-driven Ca2+ pump.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

An assay was developed to characterize the kinetic parameters of the Na(+)-K+ pump of rat erythrocytes under conditions as physiological as possible. Changes in the red cell Na+ and Rb+ content were determined in Na+ media (containing 2.5 mM inorganic phosphate (PO4) as a function of cell Na+ (2-8 mmol/l) and extracellular Rb+ (0.2-5 mM). Evaluation of the data revealed that under these conditions the Na(+)-K+ pump mediates, in addition to forward running 3 Nai+: 2 Rbo+ exchange, 1 Ki+:Rbo+ exchange and pump reversal (3 Nao+:2 Ki+ exchange). The two latter modes of Na(+)-K+ pump operation are accelerated by PO4 and lowering of cell Na+. At physiological cation and PO4 concentrations, 1Ki+:Rbo+ exchange contributes by 30-60% to total ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake. Thereby, the stoichiometry of ouabain-sensitive Na+ net-extrusion to Rb+ uptake is reduced to values between 1.0 and 0.5. Only at cell Na+ contents above 20 mmol/l the Na+:Rb+ stoichiometry approaches the value of 3:2 = 1.5. At certain constellations of Nai+ and Rbo+ the Na(+)-K+ pump cannot perform any net-transport of Na+ and K+ (Rb+). These equilibrium points are not far from those expected from thermodynamic considerations. The results demonstrate that in normal rat erythrocytes the reversible reaction cycle of the Na(+)-K+ pump runs in several modes of operation. The "abnormal" modes complicate the interpretation of unidirectional fluxes mediated by the Na(+)-K+ pump. 相似文献

Regulation of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis was characterized in epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi using the fluorescence probe Fura-2. Despite an increase in extracellular Ca2+, [Ca2+]o, from 0 to 2 mM, cytosolic Ca2+, [Ca2+]i, increased only from 85 +/- 9 to 185 +/- 21 nM, indicating the presence of highly efficient mechanisms for maintaining [Ca2+]i. Exposure to monovalent Na+ (monensin)-, K+ (valinomycin, nigericin)-, and divalent Ca2+ (ionomycin)-specific ionophores, uncouplers of mitochondrial respiration (oligomycin), inhibitors of Na+/K(+)-ATPase (ouabain), and Ca(2+)-sensitive ATPase (orthovanadate) in 0 or 1 mM [Ca2+]o resulted in perturbations of [Ca2+]i, the patterns of which suggested both sequestration and extrusion mechanisms. Following equilibration in 1 mM [Ca2+]o, incubation with orthovanadate markedly increased [Ca2+]i, results which are compatible with an active uptake of [Ca2+]i by endoplasmic reticulum. In contrast, equilibration in 0 or 1 mM [Ca2+]o did not influence the relatively smaller increase in [Ca2+]i following incubation with oligomycin, suggesting a minor role for the mitochondrial compartment. In cells previously equilibrated in 1 mM [Ca2+]o, exposure to monensin or ouabain, conditions known to decrease the [Na+]o/[Na+]i gradient, upon which the Na+/Ca2+ exchange pathways are dependent, markedly increased [Ca2+]i. In a complementary manner, decreasing the extracellular Na+ gradient with Li+ increased [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, the calcium channel blockers verapamil and isradipine inhibited the uptake of Ca2+ by greater than 50%, whereas diltiazem, nifedipine, and nicardipine were ineffective. The results suggest that epimastigote forms of T. cruzi maintain [Ca2+]i by uptake, sequestration, and extrusion mechanisms, with properties common to eukaryotic organisms. 相似文献

Intracellular Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) was measured in rat ventricular myocytes with the fluorescent indicator furaptra (25 degrees C). After the myocytes were loaded with Mg2+, the initial rate of decrease in [Mg2+]i (initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat) was estimated upon introduction of extracellular Na+, as an index of the rate of Na+-dependent Mg2+ efflux. The initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat values with 140 mM [Na+]o were essentially unchanged by the addition of extracellular Ca2+ up to 1 mM (107.3+/-8.7% of the control value measured at 0 mM [Ca2+]o in the presence of 0.1 mM EGTA, n=5). Intracellular loading of a Ca2+ chelator, either BAPTA or dimethyl BAPTA, by incubation with its acetoxymethyl ester form (5 microM for 3.5 h) did not significantly change the initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat: 115.2+/-7.5% (seven BAPTA-loaded cells) and 109.5+/-10.9% (four dimethyl BAPTA loaded cells) of the control values measured in the absence of an intracellular chelator. Extracellular and/or intracellular concentrations of K+ and Cl- were modified under constant [Na+]o (70 mM), [Ca2+]o (0 mM with 0.1 mM EGTA), and membrane potential (-13 mV with the amphotericin-B-perforated patch-clamp technique). None of the following conditions significantly changed the initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat: 1), changes in [K+]o between 0 mM and 75 mM (65.6+/-5.0% (n=11) and 79.0+/-6.0% (n=8), respectively, of the control values measured at 140 mM [Na+]o without any modification of extracellular and intracellular K+ and Cl-); 2), intracellular perfusion with K+-free (Cs+-substituted) solution from the patch pipette in combination with removal of extracellular K+ (77.7+/-8.2%, n=8); and 3), extracellular and intracellular perfusion with K+-free and Cl--free solutions (71.6+/-5.1%, n=5). These results suggest that Mg2+ is transported in exchange with Na+, but not with Ca2+, K+, or Cl-, in cardiac myocytes. 相似文献

The effect of Na+-K+ pump activation on endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) and on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was examined in mouse aorta and mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs). The Na+-K+ pump was activated by increasing extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o) from 6 to 12 mM. In aortic rings, the Na+ ionophore monensin evoked EDR, and this EDR was inhibited by the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX; reverse mode) inhibitor KB-R7943. Monensin-induced Na+ loading or extracellular Na+ depletion (Na+ replaced by Li+) increased [Ca2+]i in MAECs, and this increase was inhibited by KB-R7943. Na+-K+ pump activation inhibited EDR and [Ca2+]i increase (K+-induced inhibition of EDR and [Ca2+]i increase). The Na+-K+ pump inhibitor ouabain inhibited K+-induced inhibition of EDR. Monensin (>0.1 microM) and the NCX (forward and reverse mode) inhibitors 2'4'-dichlorobenzamil (>10 microM) or Ni2+ (>100 microM) inhibited K+-induced inhibition of EDR and [Ca2+]i increase. KB-R7943 did not inhibit K+-induced inhibition at up to 10 microM but did at 30 microM. In current-clamped MAECs, an increase in [K+]o from 6 to 12 mM depolarized the membrane potential, which was inhibited by ouabain, Ni2+, or KB-R7943. In aortic rings, the concentration of cGMP was significantly increased by acetylcholine and decreased on increasing [K+]o from 6 to 12 mM. This decrease in cGMP was significantly inhibited by pretreating with ouabain (100 microM), Ni2+ (300 microM), or KB-R7943 (30 microM). These results suggest that activation of the forward mode of NCX after Na+-K+ pump activation inhibits Ca2+ mobilization in endothelial cells, thereby modulating vasomotor tone. 相似文献

Ouabain at nanomolar concentrations stimulates total Rb+ influx by 20 +/- 2% in monolayer cultures of myocytes which were either in physiologic ionic steady-state conditions ('control') or 'loaded with Na+' following exposure to K+-free medium. The ouabain-stimulated Rb+ influx was completely abolished by 0.1 mM bumetanide both in 'control' and in 'Na+-loaded' myocytes. Thus, addition of nanomolar concentrations of ouabain to myocytes markedly stimulate the bumetanide-sensitive Rb+ influx. This influx was increased up to 3- and 4-fold in 'control' and 'Na+-loaded' myocytes, respectively. Ouabain at nanomolar concentrations had no significant effect on the component of 86Rb+ influx which is inhibited by millimolar concentrations of ouabain (the so called 'ouabain-sensitive' or 'pump-mediated' Rb+ influx) in 'control' and 'Na+-loaded' cells. It is proposed that the increased rates of bumetanide-sensitive Rb+ influx are accompanied by an increased bumetanide-sensitive Na+ influx through the Na+/K+ cotransporter and thus to a transient increase in intracellular Na+ concentrations [Na+]i. The increase in [Na+]i, subsequently causes a transient elevation in [Ca2+]i via the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and may be involved in the regulation of cardiac cells' contractility. 相似文献

Energy relationships between ATP synthesis and K+ gradients in cultured glial-derived cell line 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In C6 astrocytoma cells respiring with glucose, 40% of the total production of ATP was provided by glycolysis. Anaerobiosis in the presence of glucose, reduced ATP synthesis by approximately 50%, increased lactate production by 30% and caused a 3-fold decline in [creatine phosphate]/[creatine] and consequently [ATP]free[ADP]free. There was no change in [K+]i which suggests that glycolytic production of ATP provides sufficient energy to ensure normal operation of the Na+/K+ pump. In the absence of glucose, [creatine phosphate]/[creatine] declined to less than 0.1 in 15 min and there was a loss of K+ from cells. A comparison of delta GATP and delta GNa,K under aerobic conditions with and without glucose, showed the former to be larger by 1 - 2 kcal. However, under O2-limited, glucose-restricted conditions delta GATP fell below the level necessary to maintain operation of the Na+/K+ pump and led to a collapse in ionic gradients. 相似文献

Redistribution of cytosolic free Ca2+ following Ca2+ influx into the cytoplasm was studied in single smooth muscle cells isolated from guinea-pig urinary bladder. Voltage-clamped cells were loaded with a low-affinity fluorophore Indo-1FF. A decay of free intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) after the termination of the depolarizing pulse (1 s from -50 mV to +20 mV) was fitted with a single exponential and the effect of various substances on the time constant was compared. At a holding potential of +80 mV the [Ca2+]i decay was 1.56 times slower compared to that at -50 mV suggesting the presence of a voltage-dependent process redistributing Ca2+. In the presence of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA, 10 microM), an inhibitor of sarco(endo)plasmatic Ca2+ pump (SERCa), the [Ca2+]i decay was 3.93 times slower than that in the absence of the inhibitor. Introduction of a polycation Ruthenium Red (RR) (20 microM), an inhibitor of the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter, into a cell or collapsing a transmitochondrial H+ gradient with the protonophore CCCP (2 microM) slowed down the [Ca2+]i decay 6.05-fold and 9.78-fold, respectively. The apparent amplitude of [Ca2+]i increments was also increased by CCCP. Increasing H+ buffering power in the intracellular solution from 10 mM to 40 mM of HEPES greatly reduced the effect of CCCP on [Ca2+]i decay. A further increase in HEPES concentration to 100 mM eliminated the effects of CCCP both on the time course of [Ca2+]i decay and on the amplitude of [Ca2+]i increment. Perfusion of RR together with 100 mM HEPES into the cytoplasm was without effect on the decay time course of [Ca2+]i. The effect of CPA on [Ca2+]i decay was also reduced in cells loaded with 100 mM HEPES; the time constant in the presence of CPA was slowed down by a factor of 2.18. Application of 10 mM Na(+)-butyrate to the cells loaded with 10 mM HEPES resulted in a slowing down of [Ca2+]i decay: the time constant was increased by a factor of 5.84. Measurement of intracellular pH with SNARF-1 confirmed cytoplasmic acidification during application of Na(+)-butyrate and CCCP. It is concluded that the contribution of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake to the rapid [Ca2+]i decay is much less than could be extrapolated from action of protonophores in these smooth muscle cells. The results also demonstrate the importance of intracellular pH for Ca2+ handling in the cytoplasm of smooth muscle cells. 相似文献
