Choline permeability in cardiac muscle cells of the cat 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Permeability of the cardiac cell membrane to choline ions was estimated by measuring radioactive choline influx and efflux in cat ventricular muscle. Maximum values for choline influx in 3.5 and 137 mM choline were respectively 0.56 and 9 pmoles/cm2·sec. In 3.5 mM choline the intracellular choline concentration was raised more than five times above the extracellular concentration after 2 hr of incubation. In 137 mM choline, choline influx corresponded to the combined loss of intracellular Na and K ions. Paper chromatography of muscle extracts indicated that choline was not metabolized to any important degree. The accumulation of intracellular choline rules out the existence of an efficient active pumping mechanism. By measuring simultaneously choline and sucrose exchange, choline efflux was analyzed in an extracellular phase, followed by two intracellular phases: a rapid and a slow one. Efflux corresponding to the rapid phase was estimated at 16–45 pmoles/cm2·sec in 137 mM choline and at 1.3–3.5 pmoles/cm2·sec in 3.5 mM choline; efflux in 3.5 mM choline was proportional to the intracellular choline concentration. The absolute figures for unidirectional efflux were much larger than the net influx values. The data are compared to Na and Li exchange in heart cells. Possible mechanisms for explaining the choline behavior in heart muscle are discussed. 相似文献

Sodium efflux from rings of frog stomach muscle was measured at 5° and 15°C in three different steady states. After incubation in normal, K-free, or ouabain (10-4
M) solutions, intracellular cations stabilized at markedly differing levels. At 5°C, inhibition of Na extrusion was shown in the rate coefficients for 22Na efflux, which were slightly smaller in K-free than in normal solutions, and much smaller in ouabain. Due to the intracellular Na concentration differences, total Na efflux was similar in K-free and ouabain solutions, and only ⅕ as large in normal solution. At 15°C, normal total Na flux was only 1/7;–1/10 inhibitors, and may be underestimated. The total flux differences may involve dependence of the Na pump and Na permeation on internal Na concentration. The Q
10 of the steady-state fluxes was 3.7 in ouabain, 2.8 in K-free solution, and 1.9 in normal solution. The high temperature dependence of influx as well as efflux suggests transport mechanisms other than simple diffusion. Sodium turnover in the cell water was 46–66 mM/hr in inhibitors at 15°C, and a high rate of Na extrusion in normal muscle is suggested. However, cell volume:surface ratio is only 1.6 µ and all estimates of Na flux were under 3 pmoles/cm2 per sec, indicating low Na permeability. 相似文献

Voltage clamp measurements of the sodium potential have been made on the resting squid giant axon to study the effect of variations in external divalent ion concentration upon net sodium flux. From these measurements the intracellular sodium concentration and the net sodium inflow were calculated using the Nernst relation and constant activity coefficients. While an axon bathed in artificial sea water shows a slow increase in internal sodium concentration, the rate of sodium accumulation is increased about two times by reducing external calcium and magnesium concentrations to 0.1 times their normal values. The mean inward net sodium flux increases from a mean control value of 97 pmole/cm2 sec. to 186 pmole/cm2 sec. in low divalent solution. Associated with these effects of external divalent ion reduction are a marked decrease in action potential amplitude, little or no change in resting potential, and a shift along the voltage axis of the curve relating peak sodium conductance to membrane potential similar to that obtained by Frankenhaeuser and Hodgkin (1957). These results implicate divalent ions in long term (minutes to hours) sodium permeability. 相似文献

Sodium movements in internally perfused giant axons from the squid Dosidicus gigas were studied with varying internal sodium concentrations and with fluoride as the internal anion. It was found that as the internal concentration of sodium was increased from 2 to 200 mM the resting sodium efflux increased from 0.09 to 34.0 pmoles/cm2sec and the average resting sodium influx increased from 42.9 to 64.5 pmoles/cm2sec but this last change was not statistically significant. When perfusing with a mixture of 500 mM K glutamate and 100 mM Na glutamate the resting efflux was 10 ± 3 pmoles/cm2sec and 41 ± 10 pmoles/cm2sec for sodium influx. Increasing the internal sodium concentration also increased both the extra influx and the extra efflux of sodium due to impulse propagation. At any given internal sodium concentration the net extra influx was about 5 pmoles/cm2impulse. This finding supports the notion that the inward current generated in a propagated action potential can be completely accounted for by movements of sodium. 相似文献

Na transport and electrical properties of Necturus renal proximal tubules were analyzed, in vivo, by a voltage clamp method which utilizes an axial electrode in the tubule lumen for passage of current and simultaneous determination of net fluid (or Na) flux by the split droplet method. When the average spontaneous transepithelial potential difference of –8 mv (lumen negative) was reduced to zero by current passage, net Na flux doubled from a mean of 107 to 227 pmoles/cm2 per sec. The relationship between flux and potential over the range –25 to +10 mv was nonlinear, with flux equilibrium at –15 mv and droplet expansion at more negative values. Calculated Na permeability at flux equilibrium was 7.0 x 10–6 cm/sec. Voltage transients, similar to those caused by intraepithelial unstirred layers, were observed at the end of clamping periods. Tubular electrical resistance measured by brief square or triangle wave pulses (<100 msec) averaged 43 ohm cm2. The epithelial current-voltage relationship was linear over the range –100 to +100 mv, but displayed marked hysteresis during low frequency (<0.04 Hz) triangle wave clamps. The low transepithelial resistance and large opposing unidirectional ion fluxes suggest that passive ionic movements occur across extracellular shunt pathways, while the voltage transients and current-voltage hysteresis are consistent with the development of a local osmotic gradient within epithelium. 相似文献

The permeability of thin lipid membranes to bromide and bromine 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Thin lipid (optically black) membranes were made from sheep red cell lipids dissolved in n-decane. The flux of Br across these membranes was measured by the use of tracer 82Br. The unidirectional flux of Br (in 50–100 mM NaBr) was 1–3 x 10-12 mole/cm2sec. This flux is more than 1000 times the flux predicted from the membrane electrical resistance (>108 ohm-cm2) and the transference number for Br- (0.2–0.3), which was estimated from measurements of the zero current potential difference. The Br flux was not affected by changes in the potential difference imposed across the membrane (±60 mv) or by the ionic strength of the bathing solutions. However, the addition of a reducing agent, sodium thiosulfate (10-3
M), to the NaBr solution bathing the membrane caused a 90% reduction in the Br flux. The inhibiting effect of S2O3
= suggests that the Br flux is due chiefly to traces of Br2 in NaBr solutions. As expected, the addition of Br2 to the NaBr solutions greatly stimulated the Br flux. However, at constant Br2 concentration, the Br flux was also stimulated by increasing the Br- concentration, in spite of the fact that the membrane was virtually impermeable to Br-. Finally, the Br flux appeared to saturate at high Br2 concentrations, and the saturation value was roughly proportional to the Br- concentration. These results can be explained by a model which assumes that Br crosses the membrane only as Br2 but that rapid equilibration of Br between Br2 and Br- occurs in the unstirred layers of aqueous solution bathing the two sides of the membrane. A consequence of the model is that Br- "facilitates" the diffusion of Br across the unstirred layers. 相似文献

Ion transport in the giant celled marine alga, Valonia ventricosa, was studied during internal perfusion and short-circuiting of the vacuole potential. The perfusing and bathing solutions were similar to natural Valonia sap and contained the following concentrations of major ions: Na 51, K 618, and Cl 652 mM. The average short-circuit current (I
sc) was 97 pEq/cm2 sec (inward positive current), and the average open-circuit potential difference (PD) was 74 mv (vacuole positive to external solution). Perfused and short-circuited cells showed a small net influx of Na (2.0 pEq/cm2 sec) and large net influxes of K (80 pEq/cm2 sec) and Cl (50 pEq/cm2 sec). Unidirectional K influx was proportional to I
sc, but more than one-half of the I
sc remained unaccounted for. Both the I
sc and PD were partly light-dependent, declining rapidly during the first 1–2 min of darkness. Ouabain (5 x 10-4
M) had little effect on the influx of Na or K and had no effect on I
inf or PD. Fluid was absorbed at a rate of about 93 pliter/cm2 sec. Reversing the direction of fluid movement by adding mannitol to the outside solution had little effect on ion movements. The ionic and electrical properties of normal and perfused cells of Valonia are compared. 相似文献

The exchange of cell K with K42, J
K, has been measured in cat right ventricular papillary muscle under conditions of a steady state with respect to intracellular K concentration. Within the limits of the measurement, all of cell K exchanged at a single rate. Cells from small cats are smaller and have larger surface/volume ratios than cells from large cats. The larger surface/volume ratio results in larger flux values. J
K increases in an approximately linear manner as the external K concentration is increased twentyfold, from 2.5 to 50 mM, at constant intracellular K concentration. The permeability for K ions, P
K, calculated from the influx and membrane potential, remains very nearly constant over this range of external K concentrations. J
K is not affected by replacement of O2 by N2, or by stimulated contractions at 60 per minute, but K influx decreases markedly in 10-5

Sarcoplasmic reticulum. XVI. The permeability of phosphatidyl choline vesicles for calcium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Ca permeability of phosphatidyl choline vesicles of diverse fatty acid composition was measured. The rate of 45Ca release from liposomes equilibrated with 1 mm45CaCl2 was found to be about 8 × 10−18 moles of Ca/cm2/sec for egg lecithin and about 5.3 × 10−17 moles of Ca/cm2/sec for dioleyllecithin at 30 °. Incorporation of cholesterol into dioleyllecithin micelles reduced the rate of Ca release. The Ca permeability of the phosphatidyl choline micelles was insensitive to changes in the pH, calcium or sodium concentration of the medium but increased with increasing temperature. The effect of temperature was most marked with dioleyl lecithin dispersions, but was clearly apparent with dipalmitoyl, plant, bovine, and egg lecithins as well. The activation energy of Ca release fell in the range of 4.2–9.6 kcal/mole. Macrocyclic antibiotics (valinomycin, tyrocidin, and gramicidin) at relatively high concentration increased the rate of Ca release similarly to their effects on fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. 相似文献

Sodium extrusion by internally dialyzed squid axons 总被引:25,自引:19,他引:6
A method has been developed which allows a length of electrically excitable squid axon to be internally dialyzed against a continuously flowing solution of defined composition. Tests showed that diffusional exchange of small molecules in the axoplasm surrounding the dialysis tube occurred with a half-time of 2–5 min, and that protein does not cross the wall of the dialysis tube. The composition of the dialysis medium was (mM): K isethionate 151, K aspartate 151, taurine 275, MgCI2 4–10, NaCl 80, KCN 2, EDTA 0.1, ATP 5–10, and phosphoarginine 0–10. The following measurements were made: resting Na influx 57 pmole/cm2sec (n = 8); resting potassium efflux 59 pmole/ cm2sec (n = 4); stimulated Na efflux 3.1 pmole/cm2imp (n = 9); stimulated K efflux 2.9 pmole/cm2imp (n = 3); resting Na efflux 48 pmole/cm2sec (n = 18); Q
10 Na efflux 2.2 (n = 5). Removal of ATP and phosphoarginine from the dialysis medium (n = 4) or external application of strophanthidin (n = 1) reversibly reduced Na efflux to 10–13 pmole/cm2sec. A general conclusion from the study is that dialyzed squid axons have relatively normal passive permeability properties and that a substantial fraction of the Na efflux is under metabolic control although the Na extrusion mechanism may not be working perfectly. 相似文献

Measurements have been made of K influx in squid giant axons under internal solute control by dialysis. With [ATP]i = 1 µM, [Na]i = 0, K influx was 6 ± 0.6 pmole/cm2 sec; an increase to [ATP]i = 4 mM gave an influx of 8 ± 0.5 pmole/cm2 sec, while [ATP]i 4, [Na]i 80 gave a K influx of 19 ± 0.7 pmole/cm2 sec (all measurements at ∼16°C). Strophanthidin (10 µM) in seawater quantitatively abolished the ATP-dependent increase in K influx. The concentration dependence of ATP-dependent K influx on [ATP]i, [Na]i, and [K]o was measured; an [ATP]i of 30 µM gave a K influx about half that at physiological concentrations (2–3 mM). About 7 mM [Na]i yielded half the K influx found at 80 mM [Na]i. The ATP-dependent K influx responded linearly to [K]o from 1–20 mM and was independent of whether Na, Li, or choline was the principal cation of seawater. Substances tested as possible energy sources for the K pump were acetyl phosphate, phosphoarginine, PEP, and d-ATP. None was effective except d-ATP and this substance gave 70% of the maximal flux only when phosphoarginine or PEP was also present. 相似文献

Certain electrophysiological and ionic properties of the mouse egg (CF-1 and BDF 12–18 hr post ovulation) have been investigated. Membrane potential (?14 ± 0.4 mV, ± SE, inside negative), membrane resistance (2610 ± 38 ohm·cm2), and membrane capacitance (1.6 ± 0.03 μF cm?2) have been determined by means of intracellular microelectrode recording techniques. Membrane potential and related parameters are stable for extended periods of time upon impalement and the magnitude of the cell membrane potential has been demonstrated to be sensitive to alteration in external sodium. The electrophysiological studies in conjunction with measurements of unidirectional potassium fluxes using isotope tracer-techniques have allowed determination of membrane permeability to potassium (8 × 10?8 cm sec?1) and membrane potassium conductance (25 μmho cm?2). Furthermore, the use of tracer flux techniques has indicated that the exchangeable fraction of intracellular potassium is 204 ± 14 mM. This represents the bulk of egg potassium (222 ± 19 mM as determined from flame photometry). Studies of unidirectional potassium efflux have indicated that its movement out of the egg is made up of at least two components; an external potassium-independent potassium efflux and external potassium-dependent efflux, the latter possibly representing a potassium exchange mechanism. The combined electrophysiological and tracer-flux data indicate that only a small portion of the total membrane conductance is composed of potassium conductance at this stage of development. This and the fact that the membrane potential is far from the potassium equilibrium potential are similar to observations made on mature eggs of several other species. 相似文献

Membrane potential of the unfertilized sea urchin egg 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The membrane potential, specific resistance, and potassium selectivity of the unfertilized Strongylocentrotus purpuratus egg were determined by two independent methods: tracer flux and microelectrode. The potassium influx was 0.50 ± 0.2 pmole/cm2· sec, which was greater than the sodium, chloride, and calcium influxes by factors of 4, 7, and 75, respectively. By means of the constant-field equations, the flux data were used to calculate membrane potential (?70 mV) and specific resistance (420 kΩ · cm2). The effect of the external potassium concentration on the sodium influx was determined and the results closely fit the result expected if the membrane behaved as a potassium electrode. Microelectrode measurements of the potential and resistance were ?75 ± 3 mV and 380 ± kΩ · cm2. 相似文献

Calcium influx was studied in monolayers of HeLa cells to determine the number of exchangeable and nonexchangeable pools and the rate constant of the different fluxes. Of the two exchangeable pools, one has a very fast rate of exchange with a half-time of 1.54 min, a compartment size of 1.06 mµmoles/mg cell protein, and an exchange rate of 474 µµmoles/(mg protein\·min). This compartment is likely to be extracellular and could represent calcium exchange between the extracellular fluids and surface binding sites of the cell membrane. The second exchangeable pool has a half-time of exchange of 31 min, a compartment size of 2.69 mµmoles/mg cell protein (0.224 millimole calcium/kg cell water), and a flux rate of 0.0546 µµmole cm-2 sec-1. This compartment can be considered to be the intracellular pool of exchangeable calcium. An unexchangeable intracellular pool of calcium of 3.05 mµmoles/mg cell protein was detected implying that only 45% of the intracellular calcium is exchangeable. In addition, a large extracellular pool of calcium has been found to be unexchangeable, probably a part of the cell glycocalix. Finally, dinitrophenol 10-3
M does not affect the slow component of the calcium uptake curve which brings new evidence that calcium entry into the cell is not a metabolically dependent process. 相似文献

The rates of water transport and respiration of three tropical marine demosponges Mycale sp., Tethya crypta (de Laubenfels), and Verongia gigantea (Hyatt), have been determined in natural field populations. Mycale maintains high rate of transport (0.27-0.21 cm3 water/cm3 sponge/sec), high transport efficiency (19.6 1/cm3 O2), high metabolic rate, but low ecological impact due to its relatively low population density. This species conforms to the definition of an opportunistic eurytopic generalist in all of its characteristics. Tethya crypta exhibits a moderate transport rate (0.18 cm3 water/cm3 sponge/sec), but because of behavioural complexity and narrow adaptations to a sporadically unstable habitat its mean effective rate over the year is only 0.044 cm3 water/cm3 sponge/sec. The species shows high transport efficiency 22.8 1/cm3 O2, low metabolic rate, and high ecological importance within its special shallow-water habitat. Tethya is characterized as a stenotopic specialist in its population attributes. Verongia gigantea consists of a tripartite community: sponge-bacteria-polychaete. It shows a low transport rate (0.100.05 cm3 water/cm3 sponge/sec), low efficiency, low metabolic rate but high ecological importance due to large, persistant standing crop within its narrow deepwater habitat, and the complex is also characterized as a stenotopic specialist. Energy budgets indicate that the two ‘pure’ sponges have no requirement for a dissolved food source. The Verongia complex must obtain at least 70 % of its food requirements from nonparticulate materials. The total activity of the rich sponge fauna of the deep Jamaican reefs is estimated in relation to coral/zooxanthellae production of organic matter. 相似文献

Electrical properties of the muscle fiber membrane were studied in the barnacle, Balanus nubilus Darw. by using intracellular electrode techniques. A depolarization of the membrane does not usually produce an all-or-none spike potential in the normal muscle fiber even though a mechanical response is elicited. The intracellular injection of Ca++-binding agents (K2SO4 and K salt of EDTA solution, K3 citrate solution, etc.) renders the fiber capable of initiating all-or-none spikes. The overshoot of such a spike potential increases with increasing external Ca concentration, the increment for a tenfold increase in Ca concentration being about 29 mv. The threshold membrane potential for the spike and also for the K conductance increase shifts to more positive membrane potentials with increasing [Ca++]out. The removal of Na ions from the external medium does not change the configuration of the spike potential. In the absence of Ca++ in the external medium, the spike potential is restored by Ba++ and Sr++ but not by Mg++. The overshoot of the spike potential increases with increasing [Ba++]out or [Sr++]out. The Ca influx through the membrane of the fiber treated with K2SO4 and EDTA was examined with Ca45. The influx was 14 pmol per sec. per cm2 for the resting membrane and 35 to 85 pmol per cm2 for one spike. From these results it is concluded that the spike potential of the barnacle muscle fiber results from the permeability increase of the membrane to Ca++ (Ba++ or Sr++). 相似文献

The penetration of sodium into the epithelium of the frog skin 总被引:8,自引:6,他引:2

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, to describe a method for the measurement of the unidirectional flux of Na from the outer bathing solution into epithelium (JOT), and second, to describe the use of this method under a variety of experimental conditions in order to obtain some insight into the nature of this flux. The method developed is based on the exposure of a frog skin to a Ringer solution containing 22Na. The exposure is made so that neighboring points along the surface remain in contact with the 22Na solution for gradually longer periods, ranging from 0 to 46 sec. Some 8 to 10 samples of the exposed part are used to obtain the time course of the uptake of 22Na and this time course is used, in turn, to evaluate JOT. This flux is then studied in skins mounted between two identical Ringer solutions with 115 mM Na (11.25 ± 0.10 [18] µmole·hr-2 cm-2), and in skins mounted with Ringer with 1 mM Na on the outside and 115 mM Na on the inside (0.43 ± 0.05 [18] µmole·hr-1·cm-2. From the observations that the flux is much larger than the net Na flux across the whole skin, that it is inhibited by K+, and is unaffected by ouabain, it is concluded that the penetration of Na+ into the epithelium does not occur by simple diffusion and is not directly dependent on an ouabain-sensitive mechanism. In the course of these experiments it was observed that when the skin was crushed between two chambers the uptake of Na in the neighboring exposed areas was decreased. 相似文献

The components of unidirectional K influx and efflux have been investigated in the 3T3 cell and the SV40 transformed 3T3 cell in exponential and stationary growth phase. Over the cell densities used for transport experiments the 3T3 cell goes from exponential growth to density dependent inhibition of growth (4 × 104 to 4 × 105 cell cm?2) whereas the SV40 3T3 maintains exponential or near exponential growth (4 × 104 to 1 × 106 cell cm?2). In agreement with previous observations, volume per cell and mg protein per cell decrease with increasing cell density. Thus, transport measurements have been expressed on a per volume basis. Total unidirectional K influx and efflux in the 3T3 cell is approximately double that of the SV40 3T3 cell at all cell densities investigated. Both cell types have similar volumes initially and show similar decreases with increasing cell density. Thus, in this clone of the 3T3 cell SV40 transformation specifically decreases unidirectional K flux. The magnitude of the total K flux does not change substantially for either cell line during transition from sparse to dense cultures. However, the components of the K transport undergo distinct changes. Both cell lines possess a ouabain sensitive component of K influx, presumably representing the active inward K pump. Both also possess components of K influx and efflux sensitive to furosemide. The data suggest this component represents a one-for-one K exchange mechanism. The fraction of K influx mediated by the ouabain sensitive component is reduced to one half its value when exponential versus density inhibited 3T3 cells are compared (63% versus 31% of total influx). No comparable drop occurs in the SV40 3T3 cell at equivalent cell densities (64% versus 56% of total influx). Thus, the pump mediated component of K influx would appear to be correlated with growth. In contrast, the furosemide sensitive component represents approximately 20% of the total unidirectional K influx and efflux in both cell lines in sparse culture. At high cell densities, where growth inhibition occurs in the 3T3 cell but not the SV40 3T3, the furosemide sensitive component doubles in both cell lines. Thus, the apparent K-K exchange mechanism is density dependent rather than growth dependent. 相似文献

The spatial distribution and temporal variation of intracellular Ca ion in differentiated Neuroblastoma-Glia Hybridoma 108–15 cells (NG108–15) were investigated using a fluorescence microscope imaging technique. Fura-2 was used as a probe. Electrical current pulses of 10–20 µA were applied to axons connecting to NG cells in order to elicit the influx of Ca ion. The concentration of intracellular Ca is usually 50–80 nM in NG cells in the resting state. Upon stimulation, the Ca level increases by a factor of 2–5. The entry of Ca++ across cell membranes is followed by intracellular diffusion and the propagation of a wave front is clearly seen in digital images. The diffusion constant was calculated to be approximately 1.66×10–6 cm2/sec. This value is about one-fifth of the free diffusion coefficient of Ca ion in aqueous solution (7.82 × 10–6 cm2/sec). Cd ion, at the concentration of 1–2 mM, blocks the influx of Ca as expected whereas the influx is unaffected by TTX at the concentration of 0.1 – 0.2µM. 相似文献
