It is established that in embryos incubated until the early blastula stage in the solution of insulin with addition of cycloheximide or puromycin, there is neither a decrease in the hexokinase and glucose-61 phosphate dehydrogenase activities nor an increase in the phosphofructokinase activity, as it is shown under the influence of insulin only. Puromycin removes an inhibitory effect of insulin on the glucose-6-phosphatase activity, and actinomycin D removes this influence with respect to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities. The addition of antibiotics removes inhibition of the hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities by the hormone in the unfertilized eggs as well. Actinomycin D alone inhibits the hexokinase and activates the phosphofructokinase activities in the embryos and eggs, puromycin decreases their hexokinase activity and cycloheximide has the same effect on the glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the embryos only.

Starch gel electrophoretic patterns of 26 enzymes (corresponding to 36 gene loci) were examined in hemolysates of erythrocytes from 11 first-trimester and mid-trimester human fetuses (65-138 gestation days). The zymograms of 16 enzymes were identical in fetal and control adult red cells. Six enzymes (enolase, guanylate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, nucleoside phosphorylase, phosphofructokinase, hexokinase) showed differences in the staining intensity of certain isozyme zones as compared with the controls. Also, the fetal red cell zymograms, in contrast to those of adults, contained the mitochondrial forms of isocitric dehydrogenase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase as well as more definite zones of phosphoglucomutase-3. Finally, some of the isozymes of uridine diphosphate kinase in the fetal cells had slightly retarded mobility. These observed differences between fetal and adult red cells could reflect the expression of a different program of protein synthesis in red cells of the fetuses or the epigenetic modifications of isozymes in immature red cells.

The activity of hexokinase, glycose-6-phosphatase, phosphofructokinase, fructose diphosphate aldolase and ketose-1-phosphate aldolase was studied in kidneys, blood serum and urine or rats, the proximal and distal areas of their nephron being affected with the chemical substances. A pronounced decrease in the activity of the mentioned enzymes in the renal tissue was greater with afection of the nephron proximal area. The activity of the mentioned enzymes in urine, vice versa, increases sharply and in blood serum it was almost unchanges (exception for keto-1-phosphate aldolase). The pronounced enzyme uria may reflect the deep changes in epithelium cells of canals, especially of proximal ones where the enzymes under study are mainly localized.

An ultramicrochemical technique has been adapted to the evolution of enzyme profiles within individual human mammary tumors. Tandem observation of adjacent stained and lyophilized sections permitted dissection of microgram quantities of freeze-dried material within confirmed regions of malignancy. Enzymes frequently monitored to examine glycolytic, respiratory, and metastatic capacity were microanalyzed successfully: lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), acid phosphatase (AP), aldolase (ALD), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), pyruvate kinase (PK), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GOPDH), hexokinase (HK), and phosphofructokinase (PRK). All enzyme activities were higher in infiltrating ductal carcinomas than in fibroadenomas. Extracts of tumor cells mixed in varying proportions with brain or muscle extracts of rat evidenced no modification of expected activity. The technical adaptation described provided a sensitive methodology to resolve problems of relication, profile analysis, sample quantity, and selectivity within heterogeneous tissues.

Based on previous studies which have revealed that glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-1,6-P2) is a potent inhibitor of muscle hexokinase and an activator (deinhibitor) of phosphofructokinase and phosphoglucomutase, the effect of epinephrine on the levels of this regulator in rat diaphragm muscle was investigated. It was found that epinephrine caused an increase in diaphragm Glc-1,6-P2 levels, accompanied by a reduction in the activity of hexokinase and an activation (deinhibition) of phosphofructokinase and phosphoglucomutase. N6-2'-O-dibutyryl cyclic AMP was able to mimic all these effects of epinephrine. The concentration of glucose-6-phosphate was not changed by epinephrine, under conditions in which the hormone produced an increase in cyclic AMP and Glc-1,6-P2 levels and the concomitant decrease in hexokinase activity. It was also shown that Glc-1,6-P, in the concentration range found after epinephrine, inhibited the diaphragm hexokinase and deinhibited phosphoglucomutase. These results may suggest a mechanism of epinephrine action by which the activities of hexokinase, phosphoglucomutase and phosphofructokinase, through the action of Glc-1,6-P2, are synchronized with the cyclic AMP-mediated activation of glycogen phosphorylase, to achieve an increase in total glycogenolysis and glycolysis and a concomitant reduction in glucose utilization by the muscle.

Epinephrine, hydrocortisone, and dibutyril cAMP inhibited glycolysis and glucogenolysis. The inhibitory effect was also found when glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P) was used as a glycolysis substrate, but not for fructose-1,6-diphosphate. This is the evidence of hexokinase activity inhibition by hormones and dibutyril cAMP, and presumably of phospholylase and phosphofructokinase as well. In the simulated cell-free system the hormones produced no effect, dibutyril cAMP inhibiting hexokinase alone. For the realization of hormones effect their interaction with the cell membrane is required. Inhibition of glycogen and G-6-P decomposition to lactic acid in the rat liver slices was not associated with the hormone action on phosphorylase and phosphofructokinase through cAMP and proteinkinase directly. The results obtained indicated the existence of a supplementary mechanism that modified cAMP effect on the activity of the said enzymes. Insulin was effective in any of the cases.

Brusatol, a quassinoid with potent antineoplastic activity against P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cell proliferation, significantly inhibited P-388 cell hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, malic dehydrogenase, and succinic dehydrogenase. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, basal, and adenosine diphosphate-stimulated respiration, utilizing succinate and alpha-ketoglutarate as the substrate, was suppressed significantly by in vivo treatment with brusatol. However, brusatol treatment had no effect on liver oxidative phosphorylation. Brusatol greatly increased P-388 cyclic AMP levels but had no effect on liver cyclic nucleotides. Similar inhibitory effects on P-388 cell oxidative phosphorylation were found in vitro with brusatol, bruceoside A, and bruceantin. Brusatol had no effect on adenosine triphosphatase activity or on uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. Rather, brusatol appeared to increase the concentration of reduced mitochondrial electron-transport cofactors, thereby blocking aerobic respiration. A proposed mechanism of action is discussed.

The activity of key glycolysis enzymes (hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase, phosphofructokinase, fructose-diphosphatase and ketose-1-phosphate aldolase) in the kidney tissue and its subcellular structures was studied in normal rats and in rats with experimental acute renal insufficiency. It is established that considerable biochemical changes in the kidney tissues affecting all the elements of cellular structures occur under acute lesion of the kidneys. The activity of the enzymes under study under acute renal insufficiency lowers to a greater extent in those subcellular structures of the kidneys where they are mainly localized. The arising disturbances in permeability of the kidneys cellular membranes intensify the release of the mentioned enzymes to blood serum and urine, that in its turn disturbs the coordination of certain glycolysis stages.

Analysis of the ischemic dog heart preparation described in the preceding paper indicates that it is an analogue in slow motion of the tissue in the center of a cardiac infarct. It is respiring very slowly and not capable of performing mechanical work. Glycolysis starts up with both glucose and glycogen as inputs. Later hexokinase and to some extent phosphofructokinase become limiting owing to inhibitor accumulation or acidosis. Metabolism then results primarily from cAMP-driven glycogenolysis, largely limited by the glycogen debranching enzymes at later times, with accumultion not only of lactate and alpha-glycerophosphate but of glucose as well. Amino acid levels oscillate with time while fatty acids accumulate at late times. The elevation of cAMP at later times may involve disturbances in its metabolism as well as mechanisms such as adenosine accumulation that are more important in cardiac ischemia than in normal heart. The clinical implications of this behavior are discussed.

Hyperinsulinemia was produced in fetal rhesus monkeys for 21 days in the last third of gestation by subcutaneous pork insulin injected at 19 U a day. Plasma insulin concentrations in treated fetuses (N = 4) were 3525 microU/ml. There was no difference in paired pre- and post-treatment fetal plasma glucose concentration. Activity of the hepatic enzymes that promote glucose utilization (glucokinase and hexokinase) and glycolysis (phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, and pyruvate dehydrogenase) was unaffected. Similarly, glycogen metabolism enzymes (active and inactive synthase and phosphorylase) were unaltered. Two gluconeogenic enzymes (PEPCK and glucose-6-phosphatase) were diminished in the treated group compared with controls. Fetal hyperinsulinemia enhanced lipogenic and NADPH-producing enzyme activities, as evidenced by a twofold increase in fatty acid synthase and in citrate cleavage enzyme activity. Malic enzyme was absent. Hyperinsulinemia with euglycemia (1) increases the activity of enzymes that participate in lipogenesis, (2) decreases some of those controlling gluconeogenesis, and (3) has no effect on the enzymes of glycolysis.
