The glucose-permeable fetal red cells in the pig are entirely replaced by glucose-impermeable adult red cells within a month after birth. This study investigates the kinetic parameters of the glucose transport mechanism in newborn pig red cells in comparison with immature adult red cells (reticulocytes) as well as the fully matured adult erythrocytes. Influx and efflux of the nonmetabolizable 3-O-methyl glucose (3-O-M-G) in red cells of newborn pigs saturate at high substrate concentrations and exhibit typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Km values for efflux are 15.2 and 18.2 mM for 15 and 22 degrees C, respectively. Q10 computed between 10 and 26 degrees is 5.0. The energy of activation for the transport process is 34,000 cal mol-1. The effectiveness of hexoses in competing with 3-O-M-G in efflux is in the following order: D-glucose greater than D-mannose greater than D-fructose greater than D-galactose. Efflux of 3-O-M-G does not increase with 3-O-M-G or D-ribose in the medium and is reduced by 2,4-dinitroflurobenzene (DNFB), p-chloromercuriphenyl sufonic acid (PCMBS), and phloridzin. The reticulocytes are shown to possess a carrier-mediated transport but with a considerably lower transport rate. As the reticulocytes mature into normal red cells, the carrier transport mechanism is lost. 相似文献

Cytochalasin B and nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR), which inhibit membrane transport of glucose and nucleosides, respectively, have served as photoaffinity ligands that become covalently linked at inhibitor binding sites on transporter-associated proteins. Thus, when membranes from erythrocytes of neonatal pigs with site-bound [3H]cytochalasin B or [3H]NBMPR were irradiated with uv light, two labeled membrane polypeptides (peak Mr values: 55,000 and 64,000, respectively) were identified. Treatment of the photolabeled membranes with endoglycosidase F increased the mobility of [3H]cytochalasin B- and [3H]NBMPR-labeled material (peak Mr values: 44,000 and 57,000, respectively) and limited digestion with trypsin yielded different polypeptide fragments (Mr values: 18,000-23,000 and 43,000, respectively). Identification of the photolabeled polypeptides as transporter components was established using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against partially purified preparations of band 4.5 from erythrocytes of adult pigs and humans. MAbs 65D4 and 64C7 (anti-human band 4.5), raised in this study, reacted with [3H]cytochalasin B-labeled material from membranes of human erythrocytes and bound to permeabilized erythrocytes but not to intact cells. MAb 65D4 also bound to erythrocytes of mice and neonatal pigs and to a variety of cultured cells (mouse, human, rat), including AE1 mouse lymphoma cells, which lack an NBMPR-sensitive nucleoside transporter. Also employed was MAb 11C4 (anti-pig band 4.5), which recognizes the NBMPR-binding protein of erythrocyte membranes from adult pigs. When membrane proteins from neonatal and adult pigs were subjected to electrophoretic analysis and blots were probed with different MAbs, MAb 65D4 (anti-human band 4.5) bound to material that comigrated with [3H]cytochalasin B-labeled polypeptides (band 4.5) from neonatal, but not adult, pig erythrocytes, whereas MAb 11C4 (anti-pig band 4.5) bound to material that comigrated with [3H]NBMPR-labeled band 4.5 polypeptides of erythrocytes from both neonatal and adult pigs. These results, which indicate structural differences in the cytochalasin B- and NBMPR-binding proteins of pig erythrocytes, establish the presence of both proteins in erythrocytes of neonatal pigs and suggest that only the NBMPR-binding protein is present in erythrocytes of adult pigs. 相似文献

Rapid kinetic techniques were used to measure the transport of uridine in pig erythrocytes in zero-trans entry and exit and equilibrium exchange protocols. The kinetic parameters were computed by fitting appropriate integrated rate equations to the time-courses of transmembrane equilibration of radiolabeled uridine. Transport of uridine conformed to the simple carrier model with directional symmetry, but differential mobility of substrate-loaded and empty carrier. At 5 degrees C, the carrier moved about 30-times faster when loaded than when empty. Uridine transport was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by nitrobenzylthioinosine and dipyridamole and the inhibition correlated with the binding of the inhibitors to high-affinity binding sites on the cells (Kd about 1 and 10 nM, respectively). Thus, in its kinetic properties, differential mobility when empty and loaded, and sensitivity to inhibition by nitrobenzylthioinosine and dipyridamole, the transporter of pig erythrocytes is very similar to that of human erythrocytes. Also, the total number of high-affinity binding sites for nitrobenzylthioinosine and dipyridamole/cell were similar for the two cell types and the [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine-labeled carrier of pig erythrocytes, just as that of human red cells, was mainly recovered in the band 4.5 protein fraction of Triton X-100-solubilized membranes. However, sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of photoaffinity-labeled band 4.5 membrane proteins indicated a slightly higher molecular weight for the transporter from pig than human erythrocytes. We have also confirmed the lack of functional sugar transport in erythrocytes from adult pigs by measuring the uptake of various radiolabeled sugars. But in spite of the lack of functional sugar transport we recovered as much band 4.5 protein from pig as from human erythrocyte membranes. 相似文献

We have previously reported that human erythrocyte band 3 contains 90-95% of the reconstitutable glucose transport activity of the erythrocyte membrane (Shelton, R.L. and Langdon, R.G. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 733, 25-33). We have now found that monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to epitopes on band 3 specifically removed band 3 and more than 90% of the reconstitutable glucose transport activity from unfractionated octylglucoside extracts of erythrocyte membranes; nonimmune serum removed neither. Western blots of whole membrane extracts revealed that the polyclonal antibody to band 4.5 used to isolate cDNA clones presumed to code for the transporter (Mueckler, M., Caruso, C., Baldwin, C.A., Pancio, M., Blench, J., Morris, H.B., Allard, W.J., Lienhard, G.E. and Lodish, H.F. (1985) Science 229, 941-945) reacts strongly with six discrete bands in the 4.5 region. A monoclonal antibody to band 3 also reacts with a Mr 55,000 component of band 4.5. We conclude that band 3 contains the major glucose transporter of human erythrocytes, and that the transport activity in band 4.5 might be attributable to a band 3 fragment. Band 3 is probably a multifunctional transport protein responsible for transport of glucose, anions, and water. 相似文献

Glucose and nucleoside uptake into human red cells occurs through protein(s) which copurify in a complex, known as band 4.5 of relative mass (Mr) 66,000 to 50,000. The specific inhibitor of glucose transport, [3H]cytochalasin B, and the specific inhibitor of nucleoside transport, [3H]nitrobenzylthioribofuranosylpurine ([3H]NBMPR), incorporate covalently into component(s) of band 4.5 upon irradiation with ultraviolet light. Both photolabelled components are shown to be glycoproteins, since their migration in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is increased after treatment of photolabelled band 4.5 with endoglycosidase F. Peptide maps of the photolabelled components were compared. Red cell membranes were photolabelled with either [3H]cytochalasin B or [3H]NBMPR and subjected to SDS-PAGE. The region containing band 4.5 was cut and transferred to a second SDS-PAGE system and exposed to either papain or Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. Papain (5 micrograms) completely cleaved band 4.5 and produced fragments of Mr 33,000, 26,000, 21,000, 15,000, and 12,500. Of these, the 21,000 fragment was the most conspicuous and it retained the label of [3H]cytochalasin B; the 33,000 fragment retained the label of [3H]NBMPR. The V8 protease (0.75 microgram) completely cleaved band 4.5 and produced fragments of Mr 35,000, 28,000, 22,000, 16,000, 13,500, and 9,000. The 28,000 fragment retained the label of [3H]cytochalasin B. The label of [3H]NBMPR was distributed along the gel in several regions comprising the 35,000, 28,000, and 16,000 fragments. Longer treatment with the V8 protease did not alter the position of the 28,000 [3H]cytochalasin B labelled peak, but completely abolished the [3H]NBMPR labelled peaks. Genetic segregation of the glucose and nucleoside transporters was determined in a lymphoma cell line. A mutant (14T- g) of S49 cells was selected which had lost the capacity to transport thymidine or to bind NBMPR. Uptake of either 2-deoxyglucose or 3-O-methylglucose, inhibitable by cytochalasin B, was not impaired in this mutant. It is concluded that the nucleoside and glucose transporters are glycoprotein components of band 4.5, which are differentiated by peptide map analysis. Further, a lymphoblast mutant was isolated which had lost the nucleoside transport function but retained the glucose transport function. 相似文献

Erythrocytes from the Yucatan miniature pig, like those from the normal domestic pig, lack functional glucose transporters and were unable to utilize plasma glucose as an energy source. In contrast, inosine and adenosine entered the cells rapidly. The nucleoside transporter responsible for this uptake was identified as a band 4.5 polypeptide (5000 copies per cell; apparent Mr 45 000-66 000). Inosine concentrations in the physiological plasma range (1.6-2.5 microM) were found to maintain normal erythrocyte ATP levels and ATP/ADP ratios during prolonged in vitro incubation of cells at 37 degrees C, an effect that was blocked by the specific nucleoside transport inhibitor, nitrobenzylthioguanosine. In the absence of extracellular nucleoside, cells 'protected' themselves against some of the consequences of deprivation of energy substrate by glycolyzing the ribose moiety of inosine produced during ATP catabolism. Although erythrocytes from the miniature pig were capable of utilizing extracellular adenosine as an energy substrate, plasma samples from these animals contained less than 0.4 microM adenosine. It is concluded that inosine is a major physiological energy source of pig erythrocytes. 相似文献

Glucose transport in guinea pig adipocytes has been shown to be markedly resistant to stimulation by insulin. Lipoprotein lipase is another transport catalyst in adipose tissue which is believed to be regulated by insulin. We have therefore studied how feeding-fasting affects lipoprotein lipase activity in guinea pig tissues. There was an even more marked decrease in adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity on fasting in guinea pigs (10-20 fold) than in rats or mice (4-5 fold). In adipocytes, the activity decreased only 2.5-4.5 fold; most of the change was in extracellular lipoprotein lipase. On glucose refeeding, the activity was rapidly restored. In the first 4 hours after glucose administration extracellular lipoprotein lipase activity increased to more than 10 times the amount present in adipocytes. After cycloheximide, lipoprotein lipase activity decreased with a half-life of 22 min. It is concluded that lipoprotein lipase is rapidly produced and turned over in guinea pig adipose tissue, and that the system is quite sensitive to feeding-fasting. In contrast to adipose tissue, there was no significant change in lipoprotein lipase activity in any other tissue on fasting. There was a strong correlation between the activities in heart and diaphragm muscle, but this correlation was independent of feeding-fasting. 相似文献

Human red cell membranes were isolated and partially stripped of peripheral proteins by gel filtration of hemolysates on a Sepharose CL-4B column at pH 8 connected in tandem to a Sepharose CL-6B column at pH 10.5. The eluted material was washed by centrifugations, once at pH 10.5 and twice at pH 12. In this way, water-soluble proteins and peripheral membrane proteins were thoroughly removed, and 0.2 g of integral membrane proteins could be prepared within 10 h from 0.2 litre of red cells. The exposure to high pH did not lower the D-glucose transport activity, and electrophoretically pure glucose transport protein could be isolated from this preparation. Gel filtration in sodium dodecyl sulfate separated the integral membrane components into four fractions, one of them containing 4.5-material; gel electrophoresis showed about 14 zones and two-dimensional electrophoresis resolved up to 100 mostly minor components, among which the glucose transporter focused around pH 7. However, purified glucose transporter focused around pH 8. Glucose and nucleoside transport proteins were co-purified in active form on DEAE-cellulose and a fraction isolated by adsorption to Mono Q was used for immunization of mice and production of monoclonal antibodies. One hybridoma produced antibodies that reacted with material in the 4.5-region, possibly the glucose transport protein, and not with band 3-material. Upon two-dimensional electrophoresis of integral membrane components that had been solubilized with octyl glucoside the immunoreactive and the silver-stained 4.5-material focused in a broad range from pH 6 to pH 9. A possible explanation for this heterogeneity might be interaction between the glucose and nucleoside transport proteins and negatively charged lipids. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody to the glucose transporter has been prepared with band 4.5 (Mr 45,000-65,000) from human erythrocyte ghosts as antigen. This antibody, designated 7F7.5, is of the IgG2b type. The antibody bound exclusively to proteins in the band 4.5 region of immunoblots of human erythrocyte ghosts separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Immobilized 7F7.5 antibody removed glucose transport activity from solubilized alkaline-treated ghosts. The material that was eluted from the immobilized antibody matrix migrated primarily in the band 4.5 region of electrophoretic gels and bound the antibody in immunoblots. To test the specificity of the antibody, glucose and nucleoside transporters in alkaline-treated human erythrocyte ghosts were affinity labeled with [3H]cytochalasin B and [3H]-S-(nitrobenzyl)thioinosine (NBMPR), respectively. Both of these transporters are band 4.5 proteins and "copurify" by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. A filter paper assay was developed to assess the presence of the labeled transporters. Immobilized 7F7.5 antibody bound 99% of the labeled glucose transporter. In contrast, only 3% of the specifically labeled nucleoside transporter bound to the immobilized antibody. Furthermore, the antibody did not remove nucleoside transport or NBMPR binding activities from detergent solution. The antibody recognized two tryptic fragments, Mr 23,000 and 18,000, which contain the cytochalasin B binding site of the glucose transporter. By immunoblot, the monoclonal antibody recognized the glucose transporter in cultured human IM9 lymphocytes, synovial cells, and HBL 100 mammary cells but not cells of murine or rat origin. These results indicate that the glucose and nucleoside transporters are distinct proteins which can be distinguished by monoclonal antibody 7F7.5. The method developed to quantitate covalently labeled glucose and nucleoside transporters should have broad applicability as a rapid and easy method for determining the recovery of affinity-labeled membrane proteins in detergent solution during purification. Because of the location of the epitope, the antibody itself should prove to be a valuable tool in establishing the molecular basis for the function and regulation of the glucose transporter. 相似文献

The regulatory properties of pig erythrocyte hexokinase III have been studied. Among mammalian erythrocyte hexokinases, the pig enzyme shows the highest affinity for glucose and a positive cooperative effect with nH = 1.5 at all the MgATP concentrations studied (for 0.5 to 5 mm). Glucose at high concentrations is also an inhibitor of hexokinase III. Similarly, the apparent affinity constant for MgATP is independent of glucose concentration. Uncomplexed ATP and Mg are both competitive inhibitors with respect to MgATP. Glucose 6-phosphate, known as a stronger inhibitor of all mammalian erythrocyte hexokinases, is a poor inhibitor for the pig enzyme (Ki = 120 μm). Furthermore, this inhibition is not relieved by orthophosphate as with other mammalian red blood cell hexokinases. A variety of red blood cell-phosphorylated compounds were tested and found to be inhibitors of pig hexokinase III. Of these, glucose 1,6-diphosphate and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate displayed inhibition constants in the range of their intracellular concentrations. In an attempt to investigate the role of hexokinase type III in pig erythrocytes some metabolic properties of this cell have been studied. The adult pig erythrocyte is able to utilize 0.27 μmol of glucose/h/ml red blood cells (RBC) compared with values of 0.56–2.85 μmol/h/ml RBC for the other mammalian species. This reduced capacity to metabolize glucose results from a relatively poor ability of the cell membrane to transport glucose. In fact, all the glycolytic enzymes were present and a low intracellular glucose concentration was measured (0.5 mm against a plasma level of 5 mm). Furthermore, transport and utilization were concentration-dependent processes. Inosine, proposed as the major energy substrate of the pig erythrocyte, at physiological concentrations is not as efficient as glucose in maintaining reduced glutathione levels under oxidative stress. Furthermore, newborn pig erythrocytes (fully permeable to glucose) possess hexokinase type II as the predominant glucose-phosphorylating activity. This fact and the information derived from the study of the regulatory characteristics of hexokinase III and from metabolic studies on intact pig erythrocytes permit the hypothesis that the presence of this peculiar hexokinase isozyme (type III) enables the adult pig erythrocyte to metabolize low but appreciable amounts of glucose. 相似文献

The loss of facilitated glucose transport of red cells occurring in the newborn pig was monitored in 11 density-separated cells from birth to a 4 wk of age. At birth there was a threefold increase in glucose permeability from the lightest cells to the most dense, suggesting that cells having progressively less glucose permeability are released into the circulation as gestation proceeds. Because of extraordinary stimulation of erythropoietic activity, the uppermost top fraction constituting 2-3 percent of the total cells is composed purely of reticulocytes in the growing animal. The glucose permeability of these reticulocytes which at birth has a slow but significant rate of 3.7 μmol/ml cell x min at 25 degrees C is rapidly decreased within 3-4 days to the level of reticulocytes produced in the adult in response to phenylhydrazine assault. Moreover, reticulocytes themselves discard their membrane permeability to glucose in the course of maturation to red cells. Thus, even though reticulocytes at birth are permeable to glucose, they will become red cells practically impervious to glucose within a few days. These findings suggest that the transition from a glucose- permeable fetal state to a glucose-impermeable postnatal state is brought about by two mechanisms: (a) dilution of fetal cells by glucose-impervious cells produced coincidentally with or shortly after birth; and (b) elimination of fetal cells, which have a shorter half-life, from the circulation. 相似文献

We have studied the properties of band 3 in different glycophorin A (GPA)-deficient red cells. These red cells lack either both GPA and glycophorin B (GPB) (M(k)M(k) cells) or GPA (En(a-) cells) or contain a hybrid of GPA and GPB (MiV cells). Sulfate transport was reduced in all three red cell types to approximately 60% of that in normal control red cells as a result of an increased apparent K(m) for sulfate. Transport of the monovalent anions iodide and chloride was also reduced. The reduced iodide transport resulted from a reduction in the V(max) for iodide transport. The anion transport site was investigated by measuring iodide fluorescence quenching of eosin-5-maleimide (EMA)-labeled band 3. The GPA-deficient cells had a normal K(d) for iodide binding, in agreement with the unchanged K(m) found in transport studies. However, the apparent diffusion quenching constant (K(q)) was increased, and the fluorescence polarization of band 3-bound EMA decreased in the variant cells, suggesting increased flexibility of the protein in the region of the EMA-binding site. This increased flexibility is probably associated with the decrease in V(max) observed for iodide transport. Our results suggest that band 3 in the red cell can take up two different structures: one with high anion transport activity when GPA is present and one with lower anion transport activity when GPA is absent. 相似文献

The human erythrocyte nucleoside transporter has been identified as a band 4.5 polypeptide (Mr 45,000-66,000) on the basis of reversible binding and photoaffinity labeling experiments with the nucleoside transport inhibitor, nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR). In the present study, the NBMPR-binding protein was extracted from protein-depleted human erythrocyte "ghosts" with Triton X-100 and reconstituted into soybean phospholipid vesicles by a freeze-thaw-sonication procedure. The reconstituted proteoliposomes exhibited nitrobenzylthioguanosine (NBTGR)-sensitive [14C]uridine transport. A partially purified preparation of the NBMPR-binding protein, consisting largely of band 4.5 polypeptides, was also shown to have nucleoside transport activity. This band 4.5 preparation exhibited a 10-fold increase in uridine transport activity and a 7-fold increase in NBMPR-binding activity relative to the crude membrane extract. Uridine transport by the reconstituted band 4.5 preparation was saturable (apparent Km = 0.21 mM; Vmax = 9 nmol/mg of protein/5 s) and was inhibited by dipyridamole, dilazep, adenosine, and inosine. The vesicles reconstituted with the band 4.5 preparation also exhibited stereospecific glucose transport which was inhibited by cytochalasin B, but unaffected by NBTGR. In contrast, cytochalasin B was a poor inhibitor of NBTGR-sensitive uridine transport. These experiments implicate band 4.5 polypeptides in both nucleoside and sugar permeation. 相似文献

Identification of the erythrocyte nucleoside transporter as a band 4.5 polypeptide. Photoaffinity labeling studies using nitrobenzylthioinosine 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR) was employed as a covalent probe of the erythrocyte nucleoside transporter. This nucleoside analogue, a potent inhibitor of nucleoside transport, binds tightly (KD = 10(-10) - 10(-9) M) but reversibly to specific sites on the carrier mechanism. High intensity UV irradiation of intact human erythrocytes, isolated "ghosts," and "protein-depleted" membranes in the presence of [3H]NBMPR and dithiothreitol (as a free radical scavenger) under nonequilibrium and equilibrium binding conditions resulted in selective covalent incorporation of 3H into the band 4.5 region of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (Mr = 45,000-65,000). Covalent labeling of band 4.5 protein(s) under equilibrium binding conditions was inhibited by nitrobenzylthioguanosine, dipyridamole, uridine, and adenosine. A similar photolabeling pattern was observed using membranes from pig erythrocytes. In contrast, no incorporation of radioactivity into band 4.5 was observed under equilibrium binding conditions with membranes from nucleoside-impermeable sheep erythrocytes. These experiments suggest that the human and pig erythrocyte nucleoside transporters are band 4.5 polypeptides, a conclusion supported by previous isolation studies based on the assay of reversible [3H]NBMPR binding activity. 相似文献

Stability and absorption of orally administered fluorescein-isothiocyanate labeled insulin (FITC-insulin) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract were investigated in newborn and 3-day-old pigs. The uptake of FITC-insulin by the intestinal epithelial cells was visualized using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Following oral administration, 3 h later 56 and 88% of orally administered fluorescence was found in the GI tract in newborn and 3-day-old piglets, respectively. Chromatographic analysis revealed that 15-37% of fluorescence recovered from the gastric and proximal intestinal contents was eluted in the void volume of a Sephadex G-25 column. It was also observed that oral administration of FITC-insulin at a dose of 100 nmol/kg body weight led to a significant decrease in blood glucose in newborn pigs (P<0. 05) but not in 3-day-old pigs. Microscopic examination showed that FITC-insulin was taken up via the vesicular transport mechanism throughout the whole small intestine but the ileum appeared to be a preferred site for FITC-insulin transport in newborn pigs. In 3-day-old pigs, the uptake of FITC-insulin occurred only in the distal part of the small intestine. These findings suggest that milk-borne insulin may partially survive in the GI lumen and subsequently act on the gastrointestinal tract in suckling piglets, while GI absorption of milk-borne insulin is limited to newborn pigs. 相似文献

Unidirectional active and passive fluxes of 42K and 24Na were measured in red blood cells of ground squirrels (hibernators) and guinea pigs (nonhibernators). As temperature is lowered, "active" (ouabain-sensitive) K influx and Na efflux were more greatly diminished in guinea pig cells than in those of ground squirrels. The fraction of total K influx which is ouabain sensitive in red blood cells of ground squirrels was virtually constant at all temperatures, whereas it decreased abruptly in guinea pig cells as temperature was lowered. All the passive fluxes (i.e., Na influx, K efflux, and ouabain-insensitive K influx and Na efflux) decreased logarithmically with decrease in temperature in both species, but in ground squirrels the temperature dependence (Q10 2.5–3.0) was greater than in guinea pig (Q10 1.6–1.9). Thus, red blood cells of ground squirrel are able to resist loss of K and gain of Na at low temperature both because of relatively greater Na-K transport (than in cells of nonhibernators) and because of reduced passive leakage of ions. 相似文献

The quantity of histamine and the number of mast cells in the skin of the pika were measured and compared with rabbits, guinea pigs and rats. The ranking of regional histamine levels in the skin of the pika was: perianal region greater than abdomen greater than interscapular region = back greater than lumbus greater than head greater than auricle, and the average value of the 7 regions was 22.6 micrograms/g. The level of histamine in the 6 regions, except the auricle, was 2-5 times that of rabbits and guinea pigs. In the auricle of each of the 4 kinds of animal (pika, rabbit, guinea pig and rat), the levels were almost identical. With respect to histamine levels, those in the pika resembled those in rats. The number of mast cells in the skin of the pika was less than in rats, and was greater than that in rabbits and guinea pigs. The average value was 9.9/mm2. 相似文献

Cation loss and hemolysis of various mammalian red cells suspended in isotonic non-electrolyte media were investigated. Sucrose buffered with 10 mM Tris-Hepes, pH 7.4 was used as the non-permeable non-electrolyte. Mammals from which the red cells were derived include the human, guinea pig, rat, rabbit, newborn calf, newborn piglet and pig, all of which contain K as the predominant cation species (HK type) and the dog, cat, sheep and cow, all of which possess Na as the predominant cation species (LK type). Of HK cells, a rapid efflux of K takes place from humans, rats and guinea pigs. Of LK type cells, the dog and cat exhibit an augmented membrane permeability to Na. The governing factors which influence cation permeability are the change in pH, temperature, and ionic strength. In response to increase in pH, the red cells of humans, dogs and cats become more permeable to cations, whereas the red cells of rat and rabbit are unaffected. In response to increase in temperature, HK type cells exhibit augmented K efflux, while the Na loss from the dog and cat cells manifest a well-defined maximum at near 37 degrees C. In all cases, a small substitution of sucrose by an equal number of osmoles of salts results in a dramatic decrease in cation loss. By contrast, the red cells of the rabbit, newborn calf, adult cow, newborn piglet, adult pig and sheep display no discernible increase in ion-permeability under the conditions alluded to above. In some species including the newborn calf, dog, and cat, an extensive hemolysis occurs usually within an hour in isotonic buffered sucrose solution. The osmolarity of sucrose solution affects these cells differently in that as the osmolarity increases from 200--500 mM, hemolytic rates of the calf and dog reach a saturation near 300 mM sucrose, whereas the hemolytic rate of the cat decreases progressively. Common features pertaining to this hemolysis are (1) the intracellular alkalinization process; and (2) the diminution of the cell volume which take place prior to and onset of hemolysis. SITS, a potent anion transport inhibitor, completely protects the cells from hemolysis by inhibiting chloride flux and the concomitant rise in intracellular pH. 相似文献

The density distribution and cation composition of red blood cells from newborn puppies have been studied. The density distribution of red cells from a newborn puppy in a bovine serum albumin density gradient resembles a normal distribution with a peak density at a region less than that found for adult dog red cells. In two weeks the whole distribution shifts toward a more dense region, and a second cell peak appears so that the distribution becomes bimodal. This second cell peak is smaller than the original peak, and it appears at a region of lower density. In nine weeks the distribution becomes a normal one again, but the peak density corresponds to the peak density of the second cell peak which first appeared at two weeks. Evidence has been obtained to show that fetal red cells are located in the more dense cell peak and neonatal cells are in the less dense second peak. These results were obtained by labeling fetal cells with Cr51 and neonatal cells with Fe59. The analysis of the cation content of these cells shows that fetal cells contain more K and Na and have a higher K/Na ratio than adult red cells. Furthermore, neonatal cells contain considerably less cation and hemoglobin than do fetal cells. From a study of the cation and hemoglobin content of red cells appearing in various density fractions it is concluded that fetal cells lose K and Na during the first two weeks after birth. Thus, the change in the density disribution of the erythrocytes is thought to be due to two factors: (1) An increase in the density of fetal cells due to the loss of K and Na and, hence, water during the first two weeks after birth, and (2) the entry of less dense neonatal cells into the circulation. 相似文献

Sodium and potassium content and membrane transport properties in red blood cells from newborn puppies 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The intracellular sodium and potassium concentrations and membrane transport properties for these ions were investigated in red blood cells from newborn puppies and adult dogs. At birth the intracellular concentrations of sodium and potassium are much higher than those found in adult dog red cells. During the first few weeks of life the intracellular concentrations of these ions gradually decrease until the adult level is reached. Changes in the membrane transport properties develop concurrently. The rate of active potassium influx, as measured by ouabain-sensitivity, and the pump to leak ratio are greater in red cells from newborn puppies than in those from adult animals. No ouabain-sensitive sodium efflux could be demonstrated in red cells from older puppies or adult dogs. When either puppy or adult dog red cells are depleted of ATP (by incubation at 37°C with no substrate), potassium permeability increases, and the permeability of the membrane to sodium decreases. The addition of adenosine reverses the effect of depletion. 相似文献
