Trout liver homogenates metabolized di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) to monoethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) without added NADPH and to MEHP and more polar metabolites with added NADPH. Both hydrolysis and oxidative metabolism of DEHP were inhibited by piperonyl butoxide. The 10,000g pellet, 100,000g pellet and 100,000g supernatant fraction from liver homogenates all catalyzed the hydrolysis of DEHP and all but the 100,000g supernatant fraction showed the shift to more polar metabolites with added NADPH; serum also catalyzed the hydrolysis of DEHP. Measurement of the microsomal marker, glucose 6-phosphatase, and the mitochondrial marker, succinic dehydrogenase, revealed that DEHP-hydrolytic activity was associated with microsomes and the 100,000g supernatant fraction, whereas DEHP oxidation was associated only with microsomes.

In experiments with albino rats it was found that after administration of phytobacteriomycin, trichotecin, hygromycin B or levoristatin into the stomach in doses of 1/20 of LD50 activity of the microsomal enzymes of the liver cells significantly changed and the changes persisted within at least 2 weeks. The above antibiotics induced similar changes in the lysosome enzyme, i.e. acid phosphatase, providing an increase in its activity. Changes in the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (mytochondria indicator enzyme), glucose-6-phosphatase (ribosome indicator enzyme) and aspartate aminotransferase (cytoplasm indicator enzyme) were different for each antibiotic. It is concluded that the above antibiotics were capable of impairing on intoxication the enzymatic function of various cell microstructures, though the levels of the change direction may be different.

Rats were exposed to a simulated altitude of 25,000 ft for 4 h in a decompression chamber, and the activity of some tissue enzymes estimated. Succinate dehydrogenase activity was significantly decreased and cholinesterase activity significantly elevated in the brain homogenates of the hypoxic rats, succinic dehydrogenase activity was significantly increased. There was no change in the activity of Mg+2-ATPase and Na+-K+-ATPase in the microsomal fractions of liver or brain homogenates of the hypoxic animals.

Temperature-responsive microsomes of the ciliate protozoan Tetrahymena have been originally fractionated by step centrifugation on two-layered, Mg2+-containing sucrose gradients. Three fractions have been obtained, which are termed smooth I, smooth II and rough according to the appearance of the membrane vesicles upon electron-microscopy. Smooth I, smooth II, and rough microsomes exhibit RNA/protein ratios of 0.09, 0.20, and 0.34; their phospholipid/protein ratios and their neutral lipid/phospholipid ratios were 0.52, 0.43 and 0.25, and 0.17, 0.18 and 0.13, respectively. All three fractions contain equivalent, low succinic dehydrogenase and 5'-nucleotidase activities. Glucose-6-phosphatase and acid phosphatase are more concentrated in smooth I membranes than in rough membranes. The reverse is true for ATPase. The smooth II membranes occupy an intermediate position except that their ATPase activity is the lowest of the three fractions. The specific activities of these enzymes of the three microsomal fractions are compared to those of homogenates of whole cells. Thin-layer chromatography reveals a very similar polar and nonpolar lipid pattern of the three microsomal fractions. The major phospholipid compounds are phosphatidlethanolamine, glycerideaminoethylphosphonate and phosphatidylcholine, while diglycerides, an unknown NL-compound, and triglycerides are the major apolar lipids. Gas liquid chromatography shows that the fatty acids are mainly even-numbered ranging between C12 and C18. The smooth I, smooth II and rough membranes contain 65.2, 69.3 and 72.7% unsaturated fatty acids in their polar lipids, whereas only 52.7, 49.7 and 48.3% unsaturated acids are found in their apolar lipids, respectively. The fatty acids are more unevenly distributed among the individual polar lipids than in the apolar ones.

1. Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were prepared from normal rat liver and the Morris 7777 hepatoma and characterized by the use of the marker enzymes, succinate dehydrogenase and rotenone-insensitive NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. 2. The phospholipid content per mg membrane protein of Morris 7777 hepatoma mitochondria was increased by 75% as compared with mitochondria from normal rat liver. Microsomes from this poorly-differentiated tumor were found to have a 45% decrease in the content of phospholipid. These abnormalities were independent of tumor size or age. 3. The percent phospholipid content of the subcellular fractions was determined, and revealed an increase in the percent sphingomyelin in both the microsomal and mitochondrial fractions of the tumor. Decreases in the percent phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were noted in tumor microsomes as compared with normal liver. Diphosphatidylglycerol was not found in significant quantities in the microsomal fraction of this hepatoma line. 4. The content of the various phospholipid classes per mg protein in the respective mitochondrial and microsomal fractions was determined. Large increases in nearly all the major phospholipid classes were found in tumor mitochondria; tumor microsomes were characterized by an increased content of sphingomyelin but the content of nearly all other phospholipids was significantly decreased. These findings suggest the presence of disturbances in the regulation of phospholipid metabolism in subcellular organelle membranes of the Morris 7777 hepatoma.

Noradrenaline-storing granules, a mitochondrial fraction and a microsomal fraction of bovine splenic nerve trunks were prepared by differential centrifugation. These particulate fractions were characterized by their noradrenaline content, succinate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase activity. In the presence of ATP-Mg2+ all three fractions accumulated 45Ca2+ during incubation with 0.1 mM 45 CaCl2, buffered with potassium phosphate or glycylglycine (pH 7.5; 28 degrees C). The accumulated 45 Ca2+ was not removable by EGTA, and the uptake was absent at 0 degrees C or after destruction of the particles by sonication. The behaviour of the 45 Ca2+ -uptake into all three fractions against varying ATP-concentrations, metabolic inhibitors (pentachlorophenol, desaspidine, 2,4-dinitrophenol, N-ethylmaleimide, p-chloromercuribenzoate, sodium azide, amobarbital) and drugs (phenoxybenzamine, verapamil, prenylamine, reserpine, bretylium, phentolamine) was studied. Under nearly all conditions there were differences between the 45 Ca2+ -uptake into mitochondria and that into microsomes, which suggests two distinct uptake processes. The 45 Ca2+ -uptake into the granule fraction behaved intermediate between the two other fractions under many conditions, but not under all. Therefore, it is not possible to explain the 45 Ca2+ -uptake into the granule fraction as being due to contamination with mitochondria and microsomes; an inherent ATP-Mg2+ -dependent 45Ca2+ -uptake into the nerve granules must be postulated, which is not directly coupled with the noradrenaline transport into these particles. A particulate fraction (14000-100000 g), containing noradrenaline granules, was prepared from the vas deferens of the rat. Incubation with 5 X 10(-6) M (-)-noradrenaline and 0.1 mM 45Ca2+ showed that the particles of this fraction take up noradrenaline and 45Ca2+. The uptake of both was dependent on ATP-Mg2+. The ATP-Mg2+ -dependent uptake of both noradrenaline and 45Ca2+ was substantially reduced in the corresponding tissue fraction prepared from denervated vasa deferentia.

The alkaloid camptothecin uncouples the growth and adivision of chick embryo cells. At a moderate dose (0.5 microgram/ml) it inhibits the incorporation of thymidine but not of uridine and leucine and the cell protein content increases and reaches twice that of control after 4 days of treatment. Twelve hours after addition of the drug, the activities per cell of the mitochondrial enzymes poly A hydrolase (EC 3.1. 4.21), cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1), and succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) are greater than that of the control and keep increasing for at least 96 H. The increase in the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes precede that of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.2.4) and cytidine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.15), which are microsomal and plasma membranes enzymes respectively. Actinomycin D (0.01 microgram/ml) also inhibits the multiplication of the chick cells and the synthesis of DNA. The protein content of the actinomycin D treated cells decreases to 70% of the control by day 2. Nevertheless, the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes increase over that of the control but to a smaller extent that with camptothecin. The activities of the enzymes of the other organelles are not stimulated. Camptothecin at a higher dose (5.0 microgram/ml) induces effects similar to those of actinomycin D.

The activities of five mitochondrial enzymes tested in liver from patients with Reye's syndrome were measured. Citrate synthase, glutamic dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, pyruvate carboxylase, and pyruvate dehydrogenase were all outside of the range shown by control samples and well below them in activity. The activity of two extramitochondrial enzymes, glucose-6-phosphatase, which is a microsomal enzyme, and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, which is a soluble enzyme, were in the normal range in samples from Reye's syndrome patients. In both muscle and brain the activities of the mitochondrial enzyme, citrate synthase, glutamic dehydrogenase, and succinic dehydrogenase were all within the control range. Pyruvate dehydrogenase was found to be normal in muscle from these patients.

A procedure was devised for the preparation of enriched populations of subcellular organelles from homogenized bovine spleen. The fractions obtained were characterized for arylsulfatase, succinate dehydrogenase, UDPgalactosyltransferase and 5'-nucleotidase activities. The distribution of sialidase (acylneuraminyl hydrolase, EC 3.2.1.18) activity directed towards either endogenous substrate or exogenous ganglioside substrate suggests that it is enriched in the plasma membrane/microsomal fractions. Sialidase activity towards exogenous sialoglycoproteins, isolated from erythrocyte membrane, was enriched in the least dense of the plasma membrane/microsomal-containing fractions. The endogenous sialidase substrates were primarily the sialoglycolipids, hematoside and disialogangliosides. At the pH optimum, 3.8, and 37 degrees C, release of endogenous sialic acid was linear with time for 3 h. At the end of this time, 85% or more of the available endogenous substrate was hydrolyzed.

Fifty growing male (castrated) lambs were exposed to hexachlorobenzene in the diet at levels of 0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 ppm for 90 days. They were then moved to clean quarters and the study continued for an additional 210 days. Growth rates, certain plasma enzyme activities and hepatic microsomal enzyme activities were studied to detect subclinical effects related to the exposure. A 19-day acute exposure at 100 ppm was done and the same parameters except for growth rate, measured. Hematocrit and plasma protein concentrations were also monitored. No significant changes were seen in the growth rates (90 days exposure), in the plasma enzymes alkaline phosphatase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase or succinic dehydrogenase, or in the hematocrit or plasma protein concentrations after either the 90-day or 19-day exposures. However, in vivo metabolism of antipyrine was increased in both the 1.0 ppm (90-day) and the 100 ppm (19-day), but was significantly increased (p less than 0.01) in only the 100-ppm exposure. Additionally, hepatic microsomal N-demethylase was increased significantly by the 90-day exposure at 1.0 ppm and the 19-day exposure at 100 ppm, but the hepatic microsomal O-demethylase was significantly increased only after the 1.0-ppm exposure. Histopathologic examination of tissues (brain, lung, myocardium, large and small intestines, liver, kidneys, adrenals, mesenteric lymph nodes) collected from animals sacrificed at 90 days and at the termination of the study (300 days) revealed no lesions suggestive of harmful HCB exposure.
