1. The changes with the time of the activities of some energy-supplying enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzyme, acid phosphatase, were studied over 2 weeks of complete ischaemia, produced in the rat soleus muscle by section of the abdominal aorta and terminal devascularization, leaving nerve and tendon intact. 2. Activities of glycolytic enzymes, oxidative enzymes, hexokinase and acid phosphatase are affected in a different manner. Activities of the glycolytic enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase, triosephosphate dehydrogenase and glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase, are lowest on the 1st day and increase thereafter. The first two reach the control values again on the 4th and 14th day, respectively, while glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase reaches about 50% of the control value on the 14th day. The maximum decrease in activity of the oxidative enzymes, citrate synthase, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase occurs later (4th day); thereafter their activity returns slowly to control values, but does not reach them even on the 14th day. Hexokinase activity is slightly decreased on the 1st day; then it increased and reached on the 7th day twice the control value. Thus on the 1st day the activity of the enzymes of aerobic metabolism prevail, and on the 4th day those of anaerobic carbohydrate (glucose) metabolism; the recovery of enzyme activity of aerobic oxidation occurs later. 3. Acid phosphatase activity increased from the 2nd day onwards, reaching up to 3 times the control value on the 4th day and still twice that value on the 14th day. This agrees well with the histochemical picture of acid phosphatase. 4. Histochemical changes of alkaline phosphatase activity reveal destruction of capillary endothelial cells during the first few days after operation and their later proliferation from the periphery, correlating with the loss and recovery of oxidative enzyme activity.

By in vitro assay, 6 important enzymatic activities of human skin homogenates were determined following an incubation with D-penicillamine in concentrations between 10(-4) and 10 mg/ml, i.e. 67 X 10(-5) and 67 mM/l. The following enzymatic activities were recorded: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), alkaline phosphatase (AP), acid phosphatase (AcP), and "leucine aminopeptidase" (LAP). A dose-dependent activation by D-penicillamine occurred in the case of G-6-PDH- and AcP-activities, a dose-dependent inhibition by D-penicillamine was found with AP- and GAPDH-activities. LDH- and LAP-activities remained unchanged in the presence of D-penicillamine in concentrations up to 10 mg/ml (67 mM/l). From the data of pharmacokinetic studies in rats it may be concluded that concentrations of D-penicillamine which influence enzymatic activities may easily be reached in vivo, under the conditions of treating rheumatoid arthritis and Morbus Wilson. The biochemical actions of D-penicillamine are briefly discussed with secial regard to dermatological therapy and dermatological unwanted side-effects.

Renal clear cell tubules and clear/acidophilic cell tumors were induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by 7 weeks oral administration (stop model) of N-nitrosomorpholine (NNM) at a concentration of 12 mg/100 ml in the drinking water. Twelve, 23 and 34 weeks after withdrawal of NNM serial cryostat sections of the kidneys were histochemically analyzed for the following parameters: glucose transporter proteins (GLUT1, GLUT2), glycogen content and the activities of glycogen synthase (SYN), glycogen phosphorylase (PHO), glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), hexokinase (HK), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), pyruvate kinase (PK), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). Clear cell (glycogenotic) tubules first appeared at 23 weeks, and clear/acidophilic cell tumors at 34 weeks after withdrawal of the carcinogen. G6Pase, ALP, GGT and GLUT2 were absent in clear cell tubules, clear/acidophilic cell tubules, and clear/acidophilic cell tumors indicating a sequential origin of all these types of lesions from the collecting duct system, in line with previous morphological findings. In comparison to the collecting duct epithelium, glycogenotic tubules demonstrated an increased activity of PHO and reduced activities of glycolytic and mitochondrial enzymes, which were accompanied by a strongly reduced expression of GLUT1. Moderately increased activities of glycolytic and mitochondrial enzymes were observed in the clear cells of clear/acidophilic cell tubules and tumors compared with those in glycogenotic tubules. They had slightly increased activities of the glycolytic enzymes GAPDH and PK compared with normal collecting duct epithelium, while most of them were nearly lacking in GLUT1. Our findings suggest that glycogen storage is not due to an increased uptake of glucose from the blood, but results from a disturbance in intracellular flux of metabolites. The development of clear cell tubules from the normal collecting duct epithelium is accompanied by a markedly decreased expression of GLUT1 along with a reduction in glycolytic and mitochondrial enzymes. This reduction of enzyme activities is replaced by an increase in enzyme activities in clear/acidophilic cell tumors indicating a fundamental shift in carbohydrate metabolism during progression from preneoplastic to neoplastic lesions.

In continuation of earlier studies on murine neoplastic liver lesions, we characterized by histochemical methods the phenotype of hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas induced by single injections of diethylnitrosamine (1.25, 2.5, or 5.0 micrograms/g of body weight) in 15-day-old C57BL/6 x male C3H F1 mice. The hepatocellular adenomas were composed predominantly of basophilic cells but stored excessive amounts of fat and glycogen in large portions of the tumors. Irrespective of the carcinogenic dose, the adenomas showed a consistent histochemical pattern. Glycogen synthase and phosphorylase were highly active in the hepatocytes that stored glycogen. In cells poor in, or free of, this polysaccharide, these enzymes were only moderately active or even inactive. In glycogen-storing parts of the adenomas, the activity of adenylate cyclase was reduced compared with normal liver parenchyma, but in fat-storing portions it was elevated. In a few adenomas, uniform increase in adenylate cyclase activity could be encountered. The levels of ATPase, acid phosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphatase were either increased or decreased. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase showed an increased activity in all adenomas compared with preneoplastic foci, which in turn exhibited a higher glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity than the surrounding parenchyma or the liver of untreated controls. The hepatocellular carcinomas showed remarkable histochemical changes compared with adenomas. The levels of fat and glycogen and the activities of glycogen synthase, phosphorylase, and in most cases also that of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, were reduced significantly. In contrast, adenylate cyclase, glucose-6-phosphatase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and also alkaline phosphatase showed a striking elevation in developing carcinomas. Similar, although more pronounced, histochemical changes were seen in the advanced hepatocellular carcinomas. These observations indicated that progression from adenomas to hepatocellular carcinomas was associated with a change in the activity of several enzymes involved in cell membrane function, glycogen metabolism, the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, and glycolysis.

Focal hepatocellular lesions, induced in our infant mouse system (15-day-old B6C3F1 mice) by a single carcinogenic dose of diethylnitrosamine (2.5 or 5.0 micrograms/g body weight), were characterized histochemically using toluidine blue, periodic acid-Schiff, glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen synthetase, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, ATPase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and acid phosphatase. Animals were killed 5, 12, 18, and 24 weeks following diethylnitrosamine treatment. The first focal lesions were observed in mice killed at 12 weeks. All foci showed patchy cytoplasmic basophilia and a slight decrease in the glycogen content. The early foci (12 weeks) showed no change in the levels of glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthetase, a strong reduction of glucose-6-phosphatase, and a high increase in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. In addition, 56% of foci in males and 86% of foci in females showed a slight rise in glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 12% of foci in males and 17% of foci in females had a lower acid phosphatase. The level of cytoplasmic ATPase was slightly decreased in 22% of foci. By 24 weeks, a decrease in the activity of cytoplasmic ATPase was observed in 84 and 100% of foci in males and females, respectively. The increase in the membrane ATPase was observed in 65% of foci in males and 7% of foci in females. By that time, the decrease in acid phosphatase was observed in 78% of foci in males and 37% of foci in females. The gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase failed to show any increase in its activity, indicating that this enzyme was not a "marker" of the hepatocellular lesions developing under the experimental conditions. Strong decrease in glucose-6-phosphatase in association with a manifest increase in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activities indicated a shift from gluconeogenesis to glycolysis. Since this metabolic shift occurred concurrently with an increase in the labeling indices and focal size, it appears that these changes act in concert, representing expression of the acquired functional and replicating potential of the focal cell population.

Renal tubular lesions induced in male rats by two different carcinogens, N-nitrosomorpholine (NNM) and N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine (EHEN), using a limited exposure "stop" protocol were investigated histochemically to demonstrate phenotypic cellular changes. The parameters measured included basophilia, glycogen content and the activity of the enzymes glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PASE), glycogen synthetase (SYN), glycogen phosphorylase (PHO), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT). The lesions observed were predominantly of either basophilic or oncocytic types. In each case, tubular lesions (altered tubules) appeared to give rise to epithelial tumors (epitheliomas) with the same cellular phenotype. Basophilic tubules and epitheliomas proved to be strongly positive for GAPDH and G6PDH while demonstrating a reduction or loss of G6PASE, ALP, ACP, gamma-GT, and SDH compared with controls and the surrounding proximal or distal tubules. In addition, large basophilic epitheliomas demonstrated an increase in both SYN and PHO activities. In contrast, most oncocytic tubules and oncocytomas characterized by abundant densely granular cytoplasm showed a reduction in the activity of G6PDH, but were intensely positive for SDH. However, a few oncocytic lesions demonstrated a decrease in both SDH and G6PDH activity. Rarely, decreased SDH and elevated G6PDH activities were observed in altered tubules resembling oncocytic tubules. It remains to be clarified whether these tubules represent a variation of the oncocytic lesions or, perhaps, another type of tubular lesion. The results indicate that basophilic and oncocytic epithelial tumors differ in their cytochemical pattern and histogenesis. In line with earlier suggestions, the basophilic tumors apparently originate from the proximal renal tubules, while the oncocytomas develop from the distal parts of the nephron. The basophilic tumors are characterized by an increased pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis, with a corresponding reduction in mitochondrial respiration. However, the majority of the oncocytomas show an increased activity of the mitochondrial enzyme SDH, and a marked decrease in the activity of the key enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated after N-nitrosomorpholine (NNM) treatment with concomitant and subsequent administration of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) for development of pre-neoplastic and neoplastic liver lesions. In addition to clear, acidophilic, mixed cell and basophilic foci, a hitherto undescribed lesion type demonstrating a unique morphological and histochemical phenotype was observed in animals receiving both NNM and DHEA. The cells of the majority of these lesions for which we propose the designation amphophilic foci were characterized by increased granular acidophilia and randomly scattered cytoplasmic basophilia. Histochemically, reduced glycogen content and elevated activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), acid phosphatase (AP), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and catalase (CAT) were evident. The lack of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) or glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) in foci of this type allowed clear differentiation from other NNM-induced focal lesions while suggesting certain similarities to pre-neoplastic cells induced by hypolipidemic agents. Similar enzyme histochemical patterns were characteristic for foci and later appearing nodules (adenomas) composed of amphophilic/tigroid cells the basophilic material of which was increased and frequently arranged in long striped bands. DHEA treatment, while not itself inducing any preneoplastic foci, was thus associated with altered phenotypic expression of foci and adenomas generated by NNM.

The cytoplasmic domain of band 3 (cdb3) of the human erythrocyte membrane is a good substrate of endogenous and exogenous protein-tyrosine kinases. Because one site of tyrosine phosphorylation is within the glycolytic enzyme/hemoglobin-binding region at the N terminus of the polypeptide, we have investigated whether tyrosine phosphorylation of cdb3 might influence its interaction with the above peripheral proteins. Using p40, a protein-tyrosine kinase isolated from bovine thymus, we demonstrate that aldolase binding to cdb3 linked to Affi-Gel 15 is significantly inhibited by phosphorylation of the immobilized band 3. Importantly, upon dephosphorylation of the gel with acid phosphatase, aldolase binding returns to prephosphorylated values. Similarly, cdb3 phosphorylation was found to inhibit glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, and hemoglobin binding to immobilized cdb3. In the converse experiment, untreated soluble cdb3 was shown to bind to immobilized aldolase, whereas phosphorylated cdb3 (approximately equal to 1.8 mol of Pi/mol of cdb3) did not. Furthermore, phosphorylated cdb3 was unable to inhibit aldolase catalysis, whereas untreated cdb3, as shown previously by others, was a potent inhibitor. Taken together, these results demonstrate that phosphorylation of cdb3 on tyrosine residues inhibits peripheral protein binding at the polypeptide's N terminus. In view of the known effect of glycolytic enzyme binding to band 3 on catalytic activity, tyrosine phosphorylation of band 3 may modulate glycolysis in vivo.

Exposure of L929 murine fibroblasts to ozone resulted in K+ leakage and inhibition of several enzymes. Most sensitive to ozone exposure were glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase. The activities of another cytosolic enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, the mitochondrial enzymes glutamate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase and the activity of the lysosomal enzymes acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase were, initially, not or only slightly affected. The localization of the lysosomal enzymes did not change during ozone exposure. After prolonged exposure complete deterioration of the cells was observed and all enzyme activities declined. The activity of the enzymes was also monitored during ozone exposure of a sonicated cell suspension and it was shown that all these enzymes are in fact susceptible to ozone. These observations clearly demonstrate that, besides the structure and amino acid composition of an enzyme, the localization in the cell plays an important role in its susceptibility to ozone. The intracellular levels of reduced and oxidized glutathione were affected as well. The ATP content, however, proved to be insensitive to ozone exposure.

Crude extracts of triple-cloned, purified cultures of 22 species of Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma were examined for expression of 21 isozyme systems routinely used to type mammalian cells. Nine previously described enzymes (purine nucleoside phosphorylase, adenylate kinase, dipeptidase, esterase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucose phosphate isomerase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and superoxide dismutase) and three enzymes not previously reported in mycoplasma (triose phosphate isomerase, inorganic pyrophosphatase, and acid phosphatase) were detected in some or all of the species examined. These findings provide new information on the enzymatic expressions of these organisms. Three of the isozyme systems (superoxide dismutase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) were present in Acholeplasma species but not in any Mycoplasma species. The characteristic pattern of electrophoretic mobility of the 12 isozyme systems also provides a useful biochemical property for identification, characterization, and classification of these mycoplasmas. Mycoplasma isozyme expression for seven of the enzymes were readily detected in various infected-cell culture lines by using either cell extracts or concentrated cell culture fluids. Mycoplasma-specific enzymes found in infected-cell extracts had the same electrophoretic mobility patterns as enzymes obtained from broth-grown mycoplasmas of the same species. Expression of homologous mammalian enzymes was not detectably altered by infection with mycoplasmas.
