In a previous study we compared the effects of patulin (PAT) and ouabain, a specific inhibitor of the Na(+)-K+ ATPase, and found significant differences with regard to the kinetics of Na+ influx and K+ efflux, and sulfhydryl reactivity in LLC-PK1 cells. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between Na+ influx, K+ efflux, membrane potential ([3H]tetraphenylphosphonium accumulation), cellular viability [lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release], and changes in cell morphology (blebs). The effects of PAT are concentration and time dependent. At concentrations of PAT above 10 microM there is a transient increase in intracellular electronegativity (less than 1 hr) followed by a sustained depolarization (greater than 1 hr) which is correlated with complete Na+ influx, K+ efflux, total LDH release, and bleb formation. However, at PAT concentrations of 5-10 microM there is a sustained increased intracellular electronegativity (4-8 hr) which is associated with partial Na+ influx and K+ efflux, no significant LDH release, and relatively few blebs. The hyperpolarizing effect may be a result of increased permeability to K+ relative to Na+. At times and concentrations which result in increased intracellular electronegativity, PAT has no effect on [3H]ouabain binding and thus increased Na+/K+ pump turnover does not seem to be the cause of the transient hyperpolarizing effect of PAT. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that PAT causes alterations in plasma membrane permeability which favor K+ efflux relative to Na+ influx. The toxic effects of PAT are irreversible in LLC-PK1 cells after even short pretreatment with PAT. The primary toxic lesion appears to be at some level other than that involving inhibition of macromolecular synthesis, perhaps the plasma membrane itself.

The half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of substituted benzimidazoles for the H+, K(+)-ATPase in hog gastric vesicles were measured by using the pyruvate kinase-lactate dehydrogenase-linked system in which hydrolysis of ATP was coupled with the oxidation of NADH. The vesicles were incubated in a solution containing a high concentration of KCl, valinomycin and Mg-ATP, and the intravesicular medium was acidified. The inhibitor was activated in the acidic medium and reacted with SH groups on the luminal (intravesicular) side of the ATPase. The active compound formed in the extravesicular medium (pH 6.11) was quenched by GSH. Under these conditions, IC50 of new compound E3810, 2[(4-(3-methoxypropoxy)-3-methylpyridine-2-yl)methyl-sulfinyl]-1H- benzimidazole sodium salt, was 0.072 microM and that of omeprazole was 0.47 microM at 25 degrees. On the other hand, the rates of formation of active compounds, tetracyclic sulfenamide derivatives, from original substituted benzimidazoles in 0.1 N HCl (k) were determined by measuring optical density at the characteristic wavelengths of the active compounds. There was a good correlation between IC50 and k for various substituted benzimidazoles including E3810, methoxy derivative of E3810, omeprazole, Ro 18-5364, H compound, picoprazole and timoprazole. This fact suggest that the rate of the formation of the acid-activated compound is a main factor determining the potency of the inhibitor.

Hexokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, acylphosphatase, (Na+,K+)-ATPase and Ca2(+)-ATPase of selected areas from postmortem Alzheimer's disease brains were studied. Hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly changed in all the examined subcortical nuclei. (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity was altered in several areas of Alzheimer's disease brains. No changes in Ca2(+)-ATPase and acylphosphatase were observed. The main alterations of the assayed enzymes were observed in subcortical areas but not in cortical areas of Alzheimer's disease brains.

Merocyanine 540 (MC 540) is a photosensitizing dye that is used clinically for the purging of autologous bone marrow grafts and preclinically for the inactivation of enveloped viruses in blood products. Its mechanism of action is not yet well understood. This paper investigates the sites of MC 540-mediated photodamages in L1210 leukemia cells by examining the effects of MC 540-sensitized photoirradiation on several soluble and membrane-bound marker enzymes. When exposed to MC 540 and white light under a standard set of conditions, the activities of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, Mg2(+)-ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase (three plasma membrane-bound enzymes) were reduced by 54, 49, and 55%, respectively. None of the intracellular enzymes included in this survey was affected by MC 540-sensitized photoirradiation as long as the plasma membrane remained intact. The two soluble enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase, remained refractory to MC 540-sensitized photoirradiation even after the plasma membrane had been disrupted. By contrast, the activities of the membrane-bound enzymes, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and succinate dehydrogenase, were reduced in cell lysates by 55 and 81%, respectively. Purified NADPH-cytochrome c reductase was about 3 times less sensitive than the microsomal enzyme, suggesting that the membrane environment facilitated photoinactivation. The MC 540-sensitized photoinactivation of enzymes was accelerated in the presence of deuterium oxide and inhibited if oxygen in the medium was displaced by nitrogen or azide was added to the medium. Taken together, these data support the view that the plasma membrane is a major target of MC 540-mediated photodamages, that the inactivation of membrane-bound enzymes is an oxidative process, and that at least some photodynamic damages are mediated by type II chemistry.

A case of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with a partial cytochrome c oxidase deficiency was reported with special reference to electrophysiological studies. A 56-year-old man was readmitted to Himeji Central Hospital due to mental deterioration and character change. At the age of 44 when he was attacked by his first epileptic seizure, he was admitted to Himeji Central Hospital, where EEG abnormalities and cerebral atrophy were found. Anticonvulsants helped to relieve his generalized convulsions but the EEG abnormalities persisted. At age 46, he had the second generalized seizure, so he quit his job as a crane operator. His family began to notice deterioration of his intellectual function and hyperaggressive behavior. His daily activities, intellectual performance and mental condition gradually deteriorated (WAIS FIQ less than 60). Other clinical and laboratory findings are as follows: bilateral impaired hearing, no optic nerve atrophy, no disturbance of extra ocular muscle movements, mild wasting and weakness of his extremities, normal coordination and sensation, no myoclonus or other involuntary movements, normal laboratory data of serum creatinine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and aldolase, and increased amount of lactate and pyruvate in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), no abnormal amino acids in urine. A biopsy specimen of right biceps brachii muscle revealed numerous ragged-red fibers in frozen sections stained by the Gomori trichrome method. These fibers did not react to a cytochrome c oxidase staining. An ATPase staining demonstrated an atrophy of type-2 fibers. An electron micrograph showed many mitochondria in the sarcoplasm but few paracrystalline inclusions. A biochemical analysis of the muscle biopsy also revealed a significant decrease in the cytochrome c oxidase activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The ciliary muscle of the primate eye was stained histochemically with enzymes used to differentiate fiber types in the skeletal muscle. Differences between the outer meridional section and the rest of the muscle were found with all enzymes. Staining for myosin-ATPase with acid and alkaline preincubation, as well as for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), resulted in a stronger reaction in the meridional section, while the reticular and circular portions showed minor activities. In contrast, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) revealed a stronger activity in the reticular and circular muscle cells. Ultrastructurally, the meridional muscle cells contained fewer mitochondria, but more myofibrils in the cytoplasm, while circular and reticular muscle cells showed just the opposite. Therefore, the cells of the meridional ciliary muscle section resemble in some respects the rapid type-II skeletal muscle fibers, and the circular und reticular muscle cells are comparable to the slow type-I fibers of the skeletal muscle.

While the molecular mechanism underlying triethyllead (TEL) neurotoxicity is unknown, we hypothesize that triethyllead mediates an accelerated Cl-/OH exchange across neuronal membranes leading to prolonged depolarization and neuronal cell injury. As a test of this hypothesis we have investigated the effect of external ion modulation on triethyllead neurotoxicity in cerebellar granule cell culture. Cultures were prepared from neonatal rats and used 10-20 days in vitro. Cytotoxicity was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and trypan blue exclusion. A slow, dose-dependent (1-30 microM TEL) release of LDH occurred after a variable latent period dependent upon [TEL]. External replacement of [Cl-]e by Na isothionate dramatically shifted the dose response curve to the left reflecting an accelerated stimulation of LDH release, while replacement of extracellular [Na+]e with equimolar choline chloride had a minimal protective effect. Similarly, high [Mg2+]e or low [Ca2+]e did not protect or potentiate TEL cytotoxicity. The low [Cl-]e accelerated TEL cytotoxicity was dependent on medium pH: alkaline pH potentiated the cytotoxicity. Low [Cl-]e had no significant effect on culture ATP over 5 hrs. ATP reduction was markedly stimulated by TEL in low Cl- medium in contrast to the minimal decline in [ATP] in the control medium. The reduction of ATP in the low [Cl-]e medium occurred prior to LDH or trypan blue staining release confirming that such reduction in [ATP] was not secondary to cell damage. Substituting K sulfate or Na sulfate for the Cl(-)-free medium revealed marked loss of ATP without LDH release in control and TEL supplemented cultures. These observations provide supporting evidence for the role of an abnormal Cl- flux in mediating TEL-induced neurotoxic injury. Specifically, the membrane depolarization is proportional to the gradient imposed by Cl- efflux/OH influx, stimulated by low [Cl-]e. The rapid loss in ATP appeared early, was not a secondary reflection of neuronal damage but a result of a combination of increased ion flux at the plasma membrane, stimulation of Na+/K+ ATPase and direct TEL-induced inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

Freshly isolated rabbit proximal tubules (PT), confluent primary rabbit proximal tubule cultures (PTC) and LLC-PK1 cells were characterised. Brushborder enzyme activities were lower in PTC than in LLC-PK1: ratios were 0.026 for alkaline phosphatase (AP), 0.458 for alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) and 0.514 for gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). PT/PTC ratios were 79.7 for AP, 7.96 for AAP and 3.45 for GGT. Specific activities of hexokinase (HK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were high in cultured cells as compared to PT: PT/PTC ratios were 0.063 and 0.033, while PTC/LLC-PK1 ratios were 0.406 and 1.19 for HK and LDH respectively. PTC/LLC-PK1 ratios were 2.21 for Na/K ATPase, 2.07 for succinate dehydrogenase, 1.12 for cathepsin B, 0.607 for N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and 8.98 for glutathione-S-transferase. Adenylate cyclase response to parathormone (PTH), was similar in PTC and PT, but stimulated/basal ratios were higher in PT than in PTC. LLC-PK1 cells were stimulated by thyrocalcitonin (SCT), arginin-vasopressin (AVP) and PTH; stimulated/basal ratios ranked AVP greater than PTH greater than SCT. Differences between both types of cultures affect the choice of in vitro model for nephrotoxicity studies.

Neuropathy target esterase (NTE) is the suggested "target" molecule involved in the initiation of organophosphorus-induced delayed polyneuropathy. Sciatic nerve NTE was separated into particulate (P-NTE) and soluble (S-NTE) fractions by ultracentrifugation at 100,000 g for 1 h in 0.32 M sucrose and compared with the corresponding brain extract. Total sciatic NTE activity was 80-100 nmol/min/g tissue from which 50-60% was recovered in the soluble supernatant fraction and the remaining 40-50% in the pellet fraction. About 90% of brain tissue activity (approximately 1,800 nmol/min/g tissue) was recovered as P-NTE. A similar distribution was obtained when more drastic centrifugation without sucrose was performed. P-NTE and S-NTE were distributed with the membrane and cytosolic markers assayed, respectively, glucose-6-phosphatase, Na+,K(+)-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, phospholipids, and lactate dehydrogenase. When the pH during the centrifugation was increased from 6.4 to 11, recovered P-NTE activity decreased from 1,750 to 118 nmol/min/g tissue for brain and from 31 to 12 nmol/min/g for sciatic nerve. However, S-NTE activity and total nonfractionated control activity were only slightly affected by the same pH treatment. The distribution pattern encountered may be better understood as representing two different proteins than an equilibrium between soluble and membrane-bound portions of a single protein, with P-NTE activity depending on a membrane factor from which it is separated through fractionation at high pH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We have shown that the rat liver plasma membrane has at least two (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPases. One of them has the properties of a plasma membrane Ca2+-pump (Lin, S.-H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 7850-7856); the other one, which we have purified (Lin, S.-H., and Fain, J.N. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3016-3020) and characterized (Lin, S.-H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 10976-10980) has no established function. In this study we present evidence that the purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase is a plasma membrane ecto-ATPase. In hepatocytes in primary culture, we can detect Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities by addition of ATP to the intact cells. The external localization of the active site of the ATPase was confirmed by the observation that the Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities were the same for intact cells, saponin-treated cells, and cell homogenates. Less than 14% of total intracellular lactate dehydrogenase, a cytosolic enzyme, was released during a 30-min incubation of the hepatocytes with 2 mM ATP. This indicates that the hepatocytes maintained cytoplasmic membrane integrity during the 30-min incubation with ATP, and the Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activity measured in the intact cell preparation was due to cell surface ATPase activity. The possibility that the ecto-Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase may be the same protein as the previously purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase was tested by comparing the properties of the ecto-ATPase with those of (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase. Both the ecto-ATPase and the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase have broad nucleotide-hydrolyzing activity, i.e. they both hydrolyze ATP, GTP, UTP, CTP, ADP, and GDP to a similar extent. The effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the ecto-ATPase activity is not additive indicating that both Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities are part of the same enzyme. The ecto-ATPase activity, like the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase, is not sensitive to oligomycin, vanadate, N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuribenzoate; and both the ecto-ATPase and purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase activities are insensitive to protease treatments. These properties indicate that the previously purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase is an ecto-ATPase and may function in regulating the effect of ATP and ADP on hepatocyte Ca2+ mobilization (Charest, R., Blackmore, P.F., and Exton, J.H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 15789-15794).
