The enzyme Na+,K+-ATPase was localized immunohistochemically in major salivary glands of mouse, rat, and human and in exorbital lacrimal glands of the rodents. Immunoreactive Na+,K+-ATPase was abundant in the basolateral membranes of all epithelial cells lining striated and intra- and interlobular ducts of all glands. Reactivity of intercalated ducts varied among gland type and species. Cells lining granular ducts in rodent submandibular gland showed a heterogeneous staining pattern in rat but stained homogeneously in mouse. Secretory cells varied greatly in their content of immunoreactive Na+,K+-ATPase. As with all duct cells, staining was present only at the basolateral surface and was never observed at the luminal surface of reactive secretory cells. Mucous cells failed to show any reactivity in any gland examined. Serous cells showed a gradient of immunostaining intensity ranging from strongly positive in demilunes of human sublingual gland to negative in rat submandibular gland and lacrimal glands of rats and mice. The presence of basolaterally localized Na+,K+-ATPase in most serous cells but not in mucous cells suggests that the enzyme contributes to the ion and water content of copious, low-protein serous secretions. The intense immunostaining of cells in most if not all segments of the duct system supports the idea that the ducts are involved with modification of the primary saliva, and extends this concept to include all segments of the duct system. 相似文献

The molecular mechanisms of radiation-induced xerostomia remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the alterations of aquaporins (AQPs) and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase in irradiated rat submandibular glands and to test the hypothesis that down-regulation of AQP5 expression in irradiated salivary glands is one of the mechanisms of radiation-induced xerostomia. Saliva from control and irradiated rat submandibular glands was analyzed. The mRNA level of AQP5 in the submandibular glands was assessed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization. The protein expression of AQP5, AQP1 and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase was determined by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The body weight, submandibular gland weight, and saliva secretion of irradiated rats significantly decreased by 12, 24 and 32% on day 3 and 24, 16 and 38% on day 30 postirradiation, respectively. There was a significant increase in the protein concentration and osmolality of saliva in irradiated rats on days 3 and 30 postirradiation. However, there was no significant difference between irradiated and control rats in total saliva protein secretion. RT-PCR analysis showed that mRNA expression of AQP5 was significantly down-regulated by 37 and 51% in irradiated rats on days 3 and 30 postirradiation, respectively. Immunoblotting showed that the AQP5 protein level was decreased by 40 and 60% in irradiated glands, in contrast to the slight reductions of AQP1 and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase proteins. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that loss of AQP5 protein occurred throughout the irradiated glands, while no significant reduction was detected in AQP1 and Na(+)/ K(+)-ATPase labeling density. These results suggest that the preferential down-regulation of AQP5 with minor effects on AQP1 and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase may contribute to radiation-induced salivary dysfunction. 相似文献

The localization of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in epithelia of the organs of the branchial cavity of Homarus gammarus exposed to seawater and dilute seawater was examined by immunofluorescence microscopy and immunogold electron microscopy with a monoclonal antibody IgG alpha 5 raised against the avian alpha-subunit of the Na-,K(+)-ATPase. In juveniles held in seawater, fluorescent staining was observed only in the epithelial cells of epipodites. In juveniles held in dilute seawater, heavier immunoreactivity was observed in the epithelial cells of epipodites, and positive immunostaining was also observed along the inner-side epithelial layer of the branchiostegites. No fluorescent staining was observed in the gill epithelia. At the ultrastructural level, the Na+,K(+)-ATPase was localized in the basolateral infolding systems of the epipodite and inner-side branchiostegite epithelia of juveniles held in dilute seawater, mostly along the basal lamina. The expression of Na+,K(+)-ATPase therefore differs within tissues of the branchial cavity and according to the external salinity. These and previous ultrastructural observations suggest that the epipodites, and to a lesser extent the inner-side epithelium of the branchiostegites, are involved in the slight hyper-regulation displayed by lobsters at low salinity. Enhanced Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity and de novo synthesis of Na+,K(+)-ATPase within the epipodite and branchiostegite epithelia may be key points enabling lobsters to adapt to low salinity environments. 相似文献

Isolated salivary glands of Periplaneta americana were used to measure secretion rates and, by quantitative capillary electrophoresis, Na(+), K(+), and Cl(-) concentrations in saliva collected during dopamine (1 micro M) and serotonin (1 micro M) stimulation in the absence and presence of ouabain (100 micro M) or bumetanide (10 micro M). Dopamine stimulated secretion of a NaCl-rich hyposmotic saliva containing (mM): Na(+) 95 +/- 2; K(+) 38 +/- 1; Cl(-) 145 +/- 3. Saliva collected during serotonin stimulation had a similar composition. Bumetanide decreased secretion rates induced by dopamine and serotonin; secreted saliva had lower Na(+), K(+) and Cl(-) concentrations and osmolarity. Ouabain caused increased secretion rates on a serotonin background. Saliva secreted during dopamine but not serotonin stimulation in the presence of ouabain had lower K(+) and higher Na(+) and Cl(-) concentrations, and was isosmotic. We concluded: The Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter is of cardinal importance for electrolyte and fluid secretion. The Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase contributes to apical Na(+) outward transport and Na(+) and K(+) cycling across the basolateral membrane in acinar P-cells. The salivary ducts modify the primary saliva by Na(+) reabsorption and K(+) secretion, whereby Na(+) reabsorption is energized by the basolateral Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase which imports also some of the K(+) needed for apical K(+) extrusion. 相似文献

Association of kidney and parotid Na+, K(+)-ATPase microsomes with actin and analogs of spectrin and ankyrin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase has been recently shown to bind erythroid ankyrin and to colocalize with ankyrin at the basolateral cell surface of kidney epithelial cells. These observations suggest that Na+,K(+)-ATPase is linked via ankyrin to the spectrin/actin-based membrane cytoskeleton. In the present study we show that Na+,K(+)-ATPase and analogs of spectrin, ankyrin and actin copurify from detergent extracts of pig kidney and parotid gland membranes. Actin, spectrin and ankyrin were extracted from purified Na+,K(+)-ATPase microsomes at virtually identical conditions as their counterparts from the erythrocyte membrane, i.e., 1 mM EDTA (spectrin, actin) and 1 M KCl (ankyrin). Visualization of the stripped proteins by rotary shadowing revealed numerous elongated spectrin-like dimers (100 nm) and tetramers (215 nm), a fraction of which (17%) was associated with globular (10 nm) ankyrin-like particles. Like erythrocyte ankyrin, kidney ankyrin was cleaved into a soluble 72 kDa fragment and a membrane-bound 90 kDa fragment. Consistent with our previous immunocytochemical findings on the pig kidney, Na+,K(+)-ATPase and ankyrin were found to be colocalized at the basolateral plasma membrane of striated ducts and acini of the pig parotid gland. The present findings confirm and extend the recently proposed concept that in polarized epithelial cells Na+,K(+)-ATPase may serve as major attachment site for the spectrin-based membrane cytoskeleton to the basolateral cell domain. Connections of integral membrane proteins to the cytoskeleton may help to place these proteins at specialized domains of the cell surface and to prevent them from endocytosis. 相似文献

In order to compare the importance of Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange in the regulation of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration (Ca2+i), acini obtained from rat pancreas and submandibular glands as well as cardiac myocytes were loaded with Na+ by inhibition of Na(+)-K+ ATPase activity then loaded with fura-2. In the exocrine tissues, incubation in K(+)-free buffer or with ouabain had no substantial effect on resting Ca2+i or on the changes in Ca2+i following exposure to carbachol as compared with acini incubated under control conditions. In contrast, rat cardiac myocytes, treated identically, showed marked changes in Ca2+i under resting and stimulated conditions as compared with controls. We conclude that the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange systems of rat pancreatic and submandibular gland acini contribute little to the overall regulation of Ca2+i at rest during cholinergic stimulation. 相似文献

Sodium-potassium ATPase (Na+K(+)-ATPase) is a ubiquitous plasma membrane enzyme which uses the hydrolysis of ATP to regulate cellular Na+ and K+ levels and fluid volume. This ion pumping action is also thought to be involved in fluid movement across certain epithelia. There are several different genes for this enzyme, some of which are tissue specific. Using an antibody specific for the catalytic subunit of canine kidney Na+K(+)-ATPase, we have localized immunoreactivity in the seminiferous and epididymal epithelium of rats of various ages. There was no specific staining of 10-day-old rat testis. Faint staining was detected at 13 days and appeared to be associated with the borders of Sertoli cells. At 16 days prominent apical and lateral staining but no basal staining of Sertoli cell membranes was observed. This type of distribution continued until spermatids were present in the epithelium. In the adult rat testis, specific staining was detected in Sertoli cell crypts associated with elongating spermatids, and on the apical and lateral Sertoli cell membrane. In some instances immunoreactivity was concentrated at presumed sites of junctional specializations. In the excurrent ducts of immature and mature rats, Na+K(+)-ATPase staining was heavy in the efferent ducts and somewhat lighter in the epididymis. In all regions, the staining was basolateral although there were variations in intensity among the different parts of the epididymis. These results show 1) that rat testis and epididymal Na+K(+)-ATPase share some immunological determinants with the canine enzyme; 2) that the epididymal enzyme is located in the conventional basolateral position; and 3) that the distribution of Sertoli cell Na+K(+)-ATPase is probably apical and lateral rather than basal. 相似文献

Na+,K+-ATPase activity was monitored by measuring ouabain-sensitive K+-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (p-NPPase) activity in rat submandibular gland slices. Carbachol (carbamylcholine chloride) stimulated the p-NPPase activity in the presence of calcium but not in its absence. Carbachol activation of the enzyme was totally ouabain sensitive and could be blocked by atropine. A minimal requirement of sodium ion extracellularly was required for this carbachol stimulation. cGMP and its dibutyryl analogue was also effective in stimulating the enzyme activity, whereas, cAMP was ineffective. Calcium, however, was not required for cGMP activation of the p-NPPase activity. The result indicates that calcium is the second messenger and cGMP is the tertiary connection between cholinergic stimulation and Na+,K+-ATPase activation in these glands. Activation of Na+,K+-ATPase is postulated to be responsible for primary fluid formation. 相似文献

Immunocytochemical localization of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in rat retinal pigment epithelial cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We investigated quantitatively the ultrastructural localization of the alpha-subunit of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in rat retinal pigment epithelial cells by the protein A-gold technique, using an affinity-purified antibody against the alpha-subunit of rat kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase. Immunoblot analysis showed that the antibody bound specifically to the alpha- and alpha(+)-subunits of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in the whole retina [the sensory retina plus retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)]. Rat eyes were fixed by perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde containing 1% glutaraldehyde and embedded in Lowicryl K4M. Ultra-thin sections were incubated with affinity-purified antibody against the alpha-subunit of rat kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase and subsequently with protein A-gold complex. Light microscopy with a silver enhancement procedure revealed Na+,K(+)-ATPase localized to both the apical and the basal plasma membrane domains of the RPE. Quantitative immunocytochemical analysis by electron microscopy showed a higher density of gold particles on the apical surface than on the basolateral one. Microvilli are so well developed on the apical surface of the RPE that the apical surface profile is much longer than the basolateral one. This means that Na+,K(+)-ATPase is mainly located on the apical surface of the RPE cells. 相似文献

K+ -dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (pNPPase) and Ca++ -stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities were studied in human parotid and submandibular glands using cytochemical methods at the ultrastructural level. In both glands, only the striated-duct epithelium showed K+ -pNPPase reaction product, thereby indicating the localization of Na+, K+ -ATPase. The precipitate was concentrated on the deep invaginations of the basolateral plasma membranes, in close association with their cytoplasmic surface. Ca++ -ATPase activity was also found on the basolateral plasma membranes, but two striking differences from the K+ -pNPPase distribution were observed: firstly, Ca++ -ATPase appeared in both acinar and ductal cells, and secondly, it was localized on the outer side of the plasma membranes. 相似文献

Gastric parietal cells migrate from the luminal to the basal region of the gland, and they gradually lose acid secretory activity. So far, distribution and function of K+-Cl(-) cotransporters (KCCs) in gastric parietal cells have not been reported. We found that KCC3a but not KCC3b mRNA was highly expressed, and KCC3a protein was predominantly expressed in the basolateral membrane of rat gastric parietal cells located in the luminal region of the glands. KCC3a and the Na+,K+-ATPase alpha1-subunit (alpha1NaK) were coimmunoprecipitated, and both of them were highly localized in a lipid raft fraction. The ouabain-sensitive K+-dependent ATP-hydrolyzing activity (Na+,K+-ATPase activity) was significantly inhibited by a KCC inhibitor (R-(+)-[(2-n-butyl-6,7-dichloro-2-cyclopentyl-2,3-dihydro-1-oxo-1H-inden-5-yl)oxy]acetic acid (DIOA)). The stable exogenous expression of KCC3a in LLC-PK1 cells resulted in association of KCC3a with endogenous alpha1NaK, and it recruited alpha1NaK in lipid rafts, accompanying increases of Na+,K+-ATPase activity and ouabain-sensitive Na+ transport activity that were suppressed by DIOA, whereas the total expression level of alpha1NaK in the cells was not significantly altered. On the other hand, the expression of KCC4 induced no association with alpha1NaK. In conclusion, KCC3a forms a functional complex with alpha1NaK in the basolateral membrane of luminal parietal cells, and it up-regulates alpha1NaK in lipid rafts, whereas KCC3a is absent in basal parietal cells. 相似文献

Quantitative immunogold localization of Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit in the tympanic wall of rat cochlear duct 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Ultrastructural localization of Na+,K(+)-ATPase was quantitatively investigated in the tympanic wall of rat cochlear duct by use of the protein A-gold method, using an affinity-purified antibody against the alpha-subunit of rat kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase. A moderate number of gold particles were found on the basolateral membrane of the interdental cells of the spiral limbus. A small number of gold particles were found on the basolateral surfaces of the border cells and Hensen's cells. On the inner and outer sensory hair cells, however, the plasma membranes were rarely labeled by gold particles. The general pattern of labeling densities in cochlear structures determined here and in a previous communication from our laboratory shows good correlation with the distribution of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity as previously estimated biochemically, cytochemically, and autoradiographically. 相似文献

In marine teleost fishes, the gill mitochondria-rich cells (MRCs) are responsible for NaCl elimination; however, in elasmobranch fishes, the specialized rectal gland is considered to be the most important site for salt secretion. The role of the gills in elasmobranch ion regulation, although clearly shown to be secondary, is not well characterized. In the present study, we investigated some morphological properties of the branchial MRCs and the localization, and activity of the important ionoregulatory enzyme Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, under control conditions and following rectal gland removal (1 month) in the spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias. A clear correlation can be made between MRC numbers and the levels of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity in crude gill homogenates (r(2)=-0.69). Strong Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase immunoreactivity is also clearly associated with the basolateral membrane of these MRCs. In addition, the dogfish were able to maintain ionic balance after rectal gland removal. These results all suggest a possible role of the dogfish gill in salt secretion. MRCs were, however, unresponsive to rectal gland removal in terms of changes in number, fine structure and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity, as might be expected if they were compensating for the loss of salt secretion by the rectal gland. Thus, the specific role that these MRCs play in ion regulation in the dogfish remains to be determined 相似文献

We report the presence of the ion transporting proteins V-H(+)-ATPase, Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase and NHE2 in the gill epithelium of the Pacific hagfish Epatretus stoutii. Heterologous antibodies recognized single bands of the appropriate sizes for the three transporters in western blots. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the distribution of labeled cells in the gill epithelium was identical for the three proteins. Immunopositive cells were most abundant in the primary filament from the afferent side of the gill pouch, and their number diminished towards the lamella. Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase-like immunoreactivity (L-IR) occurred throughout the cell cytoplasm, probably associated to the basolateral tubular system. V-H(+)-ATPase L-IR was similar to Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, although some cells had slightly heavier staining in either the supra- or infra-nuclear region. NHE2 L-IR was also generally cytoplasmic, but a minority of the cells had stronger immunoreactivity in the apical region. In general, all three ion transporting proteins were localized in the same cells, as estimated from 4-microm immunostained consecutive sections. We hypothesize that these putative ion-transporting cells are involved in systemic acid/base regulation and discuss other possible roles. This is the first report of V-H(+)-ATPase in myxinoids, and the first NHE2 report in the Pacific hagfish. 相似文献

Purification of pig kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase at low concentrations of SDS (0.5%) allowed copurification of several peripheral membrane proteins. Some of these associated proteins were identified as components of the membrane cytoskeleton. Here we describe two novel globular proteins of of Mr 77,000 (pasin 1) and Mr 73,000 (pasin 2) which copurify and coimmunoprecipitate with Na+,K(+)-ATPase and can be stripped off Na+,K(+)-ATPase microsomes by 1 M KCl. Pasin 1 and pasin 2 were detected by immunoblot analysis in various cells and tissues including erythrocytes and platelets. Immunostaining revealed colocalization of pasin 1 and Na+,K(+)-ATPase along the basolateral cell surface of epithelial cells of kidney tubules and parotid striated ducts (titers of pasin 2 antibodies were too weak for immunocytochemistry). In erythrocytes, pasin 1 and pasin 2 are minor components bound to the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane. Pasin 1 showed the same electrophoretic mobility as protein 4.1b. However, both proteins have different isoelectric points (pasin 1, pI 6; protein 4.1, pI 7), different chymotryptic fragments, and are immunologically unrelated. Short pieces of sequence obtained from pasin 1 and pasin 2 were not found in any other known protein sequence. The occurrence of pasin 1 and pasin 2 in diverse cells and tissues and their association with Na+,K(+)-ATPase suggests a general role of these proteins in Na+,K(+)- ATPase function. 相似文献

(1) 0.1-1.0 mM p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate (pCMBS) and some other organic mercurials produce a swelling of slices of dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) rectal glands, with an uptake of cell Na+ and a loss of K+. In contrast, 1 mM N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) does not swell rectal gland cells (RGC), while affecting cell cations. (2) The slow entry of [203Hg]pCMBS is linearly related to its external concentration (10 microM-1 mM) and a small accumulation of pCMBS (apparent gradient about 3) in the cells occurs in 2 h. Cell 203Hg rapidly washes out of the cells (fast rate constant 0.153.min-1; slow rate constant 0.0067.min-1), and this efflux is accelerated by 1mM dithiothreitol. Thus, a major portion of pCMBS inter-acts rather loosely with cell components. (3) pCMBS and NEM share: (a) a negligible effect on the efflux of 86Rb+ and of [14C]urea; (b) a gradual inhibition of the cell Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. (4) NEM as well as agents lowering cell glutathione accelerate and increase the pCMBS-induced cell swelling. Conditions inhibiting the Na+,K(+)-ATPase (ouabain, absence of Na+) have the same effect. (5) pCMBS, but not NEM produce a disappearance of the F-actin-phalloidin fluorescence independent of cell volume changes, particularly at the basolateral RGC membrane. (6) The data are consistent with the following set of events: (a) pCMBS (but not NEM) affects the cell membrane by increasing the efflux of the cell osmolyte taurine (Ziyadeh et al. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 943, 43-52 and unpublished data); (b) on entry into the cells, pCMBS and NEM interact with cell -SH, including those of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase; this action produces the observed changes in cell cations. Also, pCMBS, but not NEM, decrease F-actin at the membrane; (c) the inhibition of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity together with the decreased resistance of the cell membrane to stretch (absence of F-actin) produces the observed pCMBS-induced cell swelling by osmotic forces (intracellular non-diffusible anions). 相似文献

Multiple Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHEs) are expressed in salivary gland cells; however, their functions in the secretion of saliva by acinar cells and the subsequent modification of the ionic composition of this fluid by the ducts are unclear. Mice with targeted disruptions of the Nhe1, Nhe2, and Nhe3 genes were used to study the in vivo functions of these exchangers in parotid glands. Immunohistochemistry indicated that NHE1 was localized to the basolateral and NHE2 to apical membranes of both acinar and duct cells, whereas NHE3 was restricted to the apical region of duct cells. Na(+)/H(+) exchange was reduced more than 95% in acinar cells and greater than 80% in duct cells of NHE1-deficient mice (Nhe1(-/-)). Salivation in response to pilocarpine stimulation was reduced significantly in both Nhe1(-/-) and Nhe2(-/-) mice, particularly during prolonged stimulation, whereas the loss of NHE3 had no effect on secretion. Expression of Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) cotransporter mRNA increased dramatically in Nhe1(-/-) parotid glands but not in those of Nhe2(-/-) or Nhe3(-/-) mice, suggesting that compensation occurs for the loss of NHE1. The sodium content, chloride activity and osmolality of saliva in Nhe2(-/-) or Nhe3(-/-) mice were comparable with those of wild-type mice. In contrast, Nhe1(-/-) mice displayed impaired NaCl absorption. These results suggest that in parotid duct cells apical NHE2 and NHE3 do not play a major role in Na(+) absorption. These results also demonstrate that basolateral NHE1 and apical NHE2 modulate saliva secretion in vivo, especially during sustained stimulation when secretion depends less on Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) cotransporter activity. 相似文献

Patterns of salivary HCO(3)(-) secretion vary and depend on species and gland types. However, the identities of the transporters involved in HCO(3)(-) transport and the underlying mechanism of intracellular pH (pH(i)) regulation in salivary glands still remain unclear. In this study, we examined the expression of the Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBC) and its role in pH(i) regulation in guinea pig salivary glands, which can serve as an experimental model to study HCO(3)(-) transport in human salivary glands. RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and pH(i) measurements from BCECF-AM-loaded cells were performed. The amiloride-sensitive Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) played a putative role in pH(i) regulation in salivary acinar cells and also appeared to be involved in regulation in salivary ducts. In addition to NHE, NBC also played a role in pH(i) regulation in both acini and ducts. In the parotid gland, NBC1 was functionally expressed in the basolateral membrane (BLM) of acinar cells and the luminal membrane (LM) of ducts. In the submandibular gland, NBC1 was expressed only in the BLM of ducts. NBC1 expressed in these two types of salivary glands takes up HCO(3)(-) and is involved in pH(i) regulation. Although NBC3 immunoreactivity was also detected in submandibular gland acinar cells and in the ducts of both glands, it is unlikely that NBC3 plays any role in pH(i) regulation. We conclude that NBC1 is functionally expressed and plays a role in pH(i) regulation in guinea pig salivary glands but that its localization and role are different depending on the type of salivary glands. 相似文献

Isoforms of Na+, K+-ATPase in human prostate; specificity of expression and apical membrane polarization 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The cellular distribution of Na+, K+-ATPase subunit isoforms was mapped in the secretory epithelium of the human prostate gland by immunostaining with antibodies to the alpha and beta subunit isoforms of the enzyme. Immunolabeling of the alpha1, beta1 and beta2 isoforms was observed in the apical and lateral plasma membrane domains of prostatic epithelial cells in contrast to human kidney where the alpha1 and beta1 isoforms of Na+, K+-ATPase were localized in the basolateral membrane of both proximal and distal convoluted tubules. Using immunohistochemistry and PCR we found no evidence of Na+, K+-ATPase alpha2 and alpha3 isoform expression suggesting that prostatic Na+, K+-ATPase consists of alpha1/beta1 and alpha1/beta2 isozymes. Our immunohistochemical findings are consistent with previously proposed models placing prostatic Na+, K+-ATPase in the apical plasma membrane domain. Abundant expression of Na+, K+-ATPase in epithelial cells lining tubulo-alveoli in the human prostate gland confirms previous conclusions drawn from biochemical, pharmacological and physiological data and provides further evidence for the critical role of this enzyme in prostatic cell physiology and ion homeostasis. Na+, K+-ATPase most likely maintains an inwardly directed Na+ gradient essential for nutrient uptake and active citrate secretion by prostatic epithelial cells. Na+, K+-ATPase may also regulate lumenal Na+ and K+, major counter-ions for citrate. 相似文献

The catalytic alpha isoforms of the Na+, K(+)-ATPase and stimuli controlling the plasma membrane abundance and intracellular distribution of the enzyme were studied in isolated bovine articular chondrocytes which have previously been shown to express low and high ouabain affinity alpha isoforms (alpha 1 and alpha 3 respectively; alpha 1 > alpha 3). The Na+, K(+)-ATPase density of isolated chondrocyte preparations was quantified by specific 3H-ouabain binding. Long-term elevation of extracellular medium [Na+] resulted in a significant (31%; p < 0.05) upregulation of Na+, K(+)-ATPase density and treatment with various pharmacological inhibitors (Brefeldin A, monensin and cycloheximide) significantly (p < 0.001) blocked the upregulation. The subcellular distribution of the Na+, K(+)-ATPase alpha isoforms was examined by immunofluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy which revealed predominantly plasma membrane immunostaining of alpha subunits in control chondrocytes. In Brefeldin A treated chondrocytes exposed to high [Na+], Na+, K(+)-ATPase alpha isoforms accumulated in juxta-nuclear pools and plasma membrane Na+, K(+)-ATPase density monitored by 3H-ouabain binding was significantly down-regulated due to Brefeldin A mediated disruption of vesicular transport. There was a marked increase in intracellular alpha 1 and alpha 3 staining suggesting that these isoforms are preferentially upregulated following long-term exposure to high extracellular [Na+]. The results demonstrate that Na+, K(+)-ATPase density in chondrocytes is elevated in response to increased extracellular [Na+] through de novo protein synthesis of new pumps containing alpha 1 and alpha 3 isoforms, delivery via the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi complex constitutive secretory pathway and insertion into the plasma membrane. 相似文献
