The experiments on dogs have shown that during 3-5 weeks after resection of 1/3 and 2/3 of the pancreas the total amount of the excreted intestinal juice and the content of proper enteric enzymes in it (enterokinase, alkaline phosphatase and saccharase) are decreased. According to the author's data the activity of intestinal juice amylase and lipase being enzymes mostly of the pancreatic origin, transferred in the small intestine from blood, is enhanced due to impairment of the histo-hematic barrier in the region of the resected pancreatic stump. 2-3 months following resection of 2/3 of the pancreatic gland the amount of excreted intestinal juice was nearly unchanged, but the content of proper enteric enzymes was somewhat increased, as compared with background indices.

A study of the cavitary and membrane digestion of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and data of the histological structure of the bioptate of the duodenal mucosa in 34 patients with chronic pancreatitis revealed the morphological picture of chronic duodenitis. This resulted in a reduction of the sorption properties of the intestinal epithelium that was manifested in a reduction of the rate of membranous digestion, mainly of lipids and lactose. Lesser degrees of protein, starch and saccharose hydrolysis were observed. Biopsy specimens of the duodenal mucosa showed a reduced activity of enterokinase and alkaline phosphatase. Antacids (almagel, phosphalugel), mineral waters ("Borzhomi", "Poliana Kvasova"), regeneration stimulators (Metacyl, retalil), agents stimulating the motor function (cerukal, reglan and oth.) are recommended for the complex treatment of concomitant duodenitis.

The change from relative digestive rest to the phase of digestion is characterized by various dynamics of the activity of enterokinase, amylase, and intestinal isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase. The effect of the food stimulus in 3-hour immobilization can be considered antistress because the activity of the intestinal enzymes is almost the same as that in intact animals. It was found that the intestinal digestive enzymes become adapted to repeated short-term immobilization stress. Administration of alpha- and beta-adrenergic blocking agents changes the response of the digestive enzymes to stress by lowering their activity.

Enterokinase and alkaline phosphatase activities in the duodenal juice and fecal extract of 37 strongyloidosis patients living in moderate climate and 17 inhabitants of the tropics have been studied. In 60.7% inhabitants of the regions with moderate climate and 80% from the tropics decreased enterokinase activity in duodenal juice has been observed, while the decrease in alkaline phosphatase activity in fecal extract has been noted in 87.8% and 71.4% cases, respectively. After convalescence from 1 to 6 months, no normalization of intestinal enzymatic activity has been observed.

Results of the studies of large intestine microflora, enterokinase and alkaline phosphatase activity in the feces of 298 children and adults suffering from trichocephaliasis are presented. Intestinal dysbacteriosis was observed in 51.7% cases, increased enterokinase activity, in 57.6% cases and increased alkaline phosphatase activity, in 55% cases. Enteric enzyme activity relation to the state of enteric microflora is demonstrated. Specific bephenium hydroxynaphthoate and mebendazole treatment was followed by increased dysbacteriosis and higher intestinal enzyme activity, especially in case of bephenium hydroxynaphthoate treatment. Normalization of the above-mentioned parameters was observed 90-120 days after the end of the treatment.

The quantitative release of enterokinase from isolated rat enterocytes following treatment with taurocholate-taurodeoxycholate, papain, chymotrypsin, elastase, carbamylcholine, and cholecystokinin-octapeptide was examined. Alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase activities were evaluated simultaneously to check for specificity. Bile salts promoted a concentration-dependent release of all enzymes. Concomitantly, bile salts also led to cell destruction in proportion to the amount of enzymes released. Proteases caused the release of enterokinase and alkaline phosphatase with no concomitant increase of lactate dehydrogenase or cell lysis. At equal concentrations, papain released more enzymes than chymotrypsin and elastase. Chymotrypsin and elastase, however, led to higher ratios of enterokinase to alkaline phosphatase found in the media and suggested a selective release of enterokinase (EK) over that of alkaline phosphatase. Bile salts and pancreatic proteases together seem to have an additive effect of the release of EK. Carbamylcholine and cholecystokinin-octapeptide had no effect on enzyme release. These results suggested that pancreatic proteases are involved in the release of enterokinase by a selective action. Bile salts may also play a role through a nonselective detergent effect.

Three enzymes of intestinal origin-enterokinase, alkaline phosphatase, and sucrase-were released into the perfused small intestinal lumen of the rat upon intravenous injection of the gastrointestinal hormone cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK-PZ). The presence of bile in the perfusion fluid greatly augmented this release. The results suggest that a combined mechanism of enzyme liberation due to direct hormonal stimulation of the gut wall and further solubilization of released intestinal enzymes by bile may be responsible for the appearance of these enzymes in the gut lumen.

Porcine rotaviral infectivity for continuous porcine kidney (PK-15) cells was enhanced by incorporation of pancreatic endopeptidases into the cell culture maintenance medium. Marked enhancement of infectivity was induced by trypsin, whereas elestase and alpha-chymotrypsin enhanced infectivity to a lesser extent. Bacterial protease also induced some enhancement of porcine rotaviral infectivity. A synergistic enhancement of porcine rotaviral infectivity was noticed with trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin combined. Porcine rotaviral infectivity was not affected by incorporation of alpha-amylase, alkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, carboxypeptidase-A, deoxyribonuclease, enterokinase, lipase, or ribonuclease into the maintenance medium.

Suckling mice infected with reovirus type 3 were examined for changes in the epithelial brush border of the small intestine. After 3 days of infection with reovirus type 3, no significant changes were found in intestinal morphology or activity of any enzymes tested. After 6 days, villi were shortened and blunted with lymphangiectatic lesions and mild mononuclear infiltration in the lamina propria. In addition, there was a significant decrease in lactase (P < 0.001) and enterokinase activity (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant changes in the activities of alkaline phosphatase. In contrast, maltase (P < 0.001) and leucine aminopeptidase (P < 0.05) activities in the infected mice were significantly increased. These data suggest that brush border enzymes are affected differently by reovirus infection.

Bovine enterokinase was incorporated into vesicles reconstituted from a soybean phospholipid mixture. A thin film hydration procedure (MacDonald, R. I., and MacDonald, R. C. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 9206-9214) produced vesicles with 40% of the enterokinase activity bound in the membrane. The highest incorporation was observed when cholesterol or dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine was added to the soybean phospholipids. Crude and highly purified enterokinase preparations were incorporated to the same extent suggesting that other membrane components were not required for a successful reconstitution. The properties of enterokinase in phospholipid vesicles were compared with those of alkaline phosphatase, which was also added to the reconstitution system, and with the enzyme activities present in vesicles prepared from brush-border membranes. The enzyme activities were not released by solutions of high ionic strength and remained associated with the phospholipid vesicles on gel filtration, ultracentrifugation, and sucrose density centrifugation. Enterokinase and alkaline phosphatase had their active sites exposed to substrate in the brush-border membrane vesicles. In soybean phospholipid vesicles half of the active sites of both enzymes were on the outside, since release of the enzyme with Triton X-100 almost doubled the units of enzyme present. Incubation of the soybean phospholipid and brush-border membrane vesicles with papain released the exposed molecules of enterokinase. The released enzyme molecules were fully active but could not be reincorporated into phospholipid vesicles. This suggests that the structure imbedded in the lipid bilayer was essential for a successful reconstitution. We conclude that the reconstituted soybean phospholipid vesicles are a suitable membrane system for the further study of membrane-bound enterokinase.
