The functional state of the gastric mucosa in dogs after 12.7 Gy abdominal X-ray irradiation was examined. During the first 7 days after irradiation, hypochylia, decrease of proteolytic activity and the H+ (hydrogen-ion) production in the gastric juice was observed. The gastric mucosal cells of rats were examined after the irradiation with 12 Gy to find out the reason for hypochylia. Possibly the reduction of the number of the gastric mucosal cells and their protein content one day after the irradiation, as well as functional disorders of the outer membrane--expressed by the decrease of the intracellular K+ (potassium-ion) level and the ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activity--may be the reasons for the hypochylia after irradiation.

Synaptic membranes were isolated from 2 and 4-month-old rats, pair-fed controls (PF), prenatally (PAE) or pre + postnatally (PPAE) exposed to alcohol, and the activities of some membrane-bound enzymes were measured. We found a 22-36% reduction in the levels of the (Na + K)ATPase, Ca++ATPase, acetylcholinesterase and 5'-nucleotidase from PAE rats. This reduction was greater in PPAE animals. The transition temperature in Arrhenius plots of the synaptosomal (Na + K)ATPase activity from PPAE rats was lower than in control rat membranes, indicating an alteration of lipid-protein interactions. No change in transition temperature was noted in PAE animals. Also, there was a decreased cholesterol content in PPAE synaptic membranes, vs. controls, while there was no change in PAE membranes. Kinetic parameters of the synaptosomal (Na + K)ATPase from PPAE rats, revealed a decrease in the Km and Vmax for potassium. These findings indicate that prenatal alcohol exposure probably delays synaptic development, whereas continued alcohol exposure during lactation may, in addition, alter the physicochemical structure of synaptic membranes.

Sodium-potassium adenosinetriphosphatase (Na+-K+-ATPase) is modulated by functional demands. We determine whether Na+-K+-ATPase specific activity was changed by oral administration of different bile salts and whether upregulation in the liver is due to increased numbers of catalytic units. In rats after bile duct drainage for 18 h, Na+-K+-ATPase activity was reduced to 50% of control in liver and ileum but unchanged in jejunum and kidney. Increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity after short-term feeding of bile salts was noted only following trihydroxy bile salts, i.e., taurocholate (100 mg/100 g body wt) increased hepatic Na+-K+-ATPase 143% and ileum 138% above control, whereas jejunum and kidney were unchanged. Chronic feeding of trihydroxy bile salts for 4 days increased hepatic Na+-K+-ATPase (214-260%) and alkaline phosphatase (189-274%), whereas 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+-ATPase activities were unchanged from control. Plasma membrane Na+-K+-ATPase activity significantly increased as early as 4 h after taurocholate administration, whereas homogenate activity did not rise until 16 h; both reached a new steady state between 24 and 48 h. Sixteen hours after bile salt feeding, increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity was blocked by cycloheximide, and in the liver increased enzyme activity (179%) was associated with a comparable change in sodium-dependent [gamma-32P]ATP binding (162%) to liver plasma membrane fractions. These studies show Na+-K+-ATPase activity adapts selectively in liver and ileum following administration of trihydroxy bile salts, and the process involves increased density of Na+-K+ pump sites on the liver plasma membrane.

We report a rapid and reproducible assay for activity of human erythrocyte pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase and deoxypyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase. The nucleotides CMP, UMP, dUMP, dCMP or dTMP are individually incubated 30 min at 37 degrees C with erythrocyte hemolysate and 4 mM magnesium chloride in Tris, pH 7.5. Data are provided for standardization of the reaction with each substrate. Individual nucleoside products are assayed in less than 10 min by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography at 280 nm with 0-14% methanol in 0.01 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate. This is the first report of a high-performance liquid chromatographic assay system which allows quantitation of the activity of pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase isozymes using five individual pyrimidine and deoxypyrimidine nucleotides as the substrates.

The existence of a Na+-Ca2+ exchange process in cell membrane vesicles isolated from mesenteric arteries of Wistar-Kyoto normotensive (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats was investigated. Membranes from cleaned mesenteric arteries were isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, which yielded three distinct membrane fractions. The lighter membrane fraction of both WKY and SHR rats was enriched in 5'-nucleotidase activity, a marker for cell membrane, by about 10-fold, based on the activity in the homogenate, and was higher in membranes of SHR compared with WKY rats. Ouabain-sensitive Na+-K+-ATPase activity, another marker for cell membrane, was also concentrated in the lighter membrane fraction and was lower in the membranes of SHR compared with WKY rats. Higher activities of 5'-nucleotidase and Na+-K+-ATPase of both WKY and SHR rats was taken as evidence that the lighter membrane fraction was enriched in plasma membrane. Electron microscopic examination indicated that the membranes were in vesicular form. When the vesicles were loaded with Na+, a time-dependent uptake of Ca2+ was observed if the assay was carried out in high potassium to create a Na+ concentration gradient across the membrane of the vesicles. Very little Ca2+ uptake was observed when the vesicles were loaded with K+ or when the uptake of Ca2+ was carried out under conditions in which the Na+ gradient across the vesicle membranes was reduced. Ca2+ uptake in Na+-loaded vesicles of SHR rats was only slightly increased compared with WKY rats. The data indicate that a Na+-Ca2+ exchange process exists in the cell membrane of rat mesenteric arteries.

Addition of NADH, but not NAD+ or NADPH, to rat liver plasma membranes resulted in the increase of their 5'-nucleotidase activity. NADH-dependent activation of 5'-nucleotidase was significantly suppressed by atebrine, an inhibitor of NADH dehydrogenase of plasma membranes, and completely abolished by 2,4-dinitrophenol (2 X 10(-4)M) and Triton X-100 (2%). Inhibitors of electron transfer in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, rotenone and potassium cyanide, failed to affect 5'-nucleotidase activity in both the presence and absence of NADH. The data obtained give reasons to suggest a redox-dependent mechanism of 5'-nucleotidase activation in rat liver plasma membranes.

Inhibition of cardiovascular Na,K-pump activity has been shown to promote an increase in the contractile activity of myocardial and vascular smooth muscle and a consequent rise in blood pressure (BP). It has also been shown that vascular Na,K-pump activity and myocardial Na+K+ATPase activity [the energy source for active sodium (Na) and potassium (K) transport] are decreased in rats with various forms of low renin hypertension including rats with reduced renal mass-saline (RRM-saline) hypertension. In the present study, left ventricular Na+K+ATPase activity from rats with RRM-saline hypertension was found to be decreased in membranes prepared by two independent methods: deoxycholate, sodium iodide (Nal)-treated microsomal fractions (method 1) and membranes prepared by the hypotonic, lithium bromide (LiBr) method (method 2). Relative to RRM normotensive control rats which drank distilled water, myocardial Na+K+ATPase activity from RRM-saline drinking rats was decreased by 18.2% in membranes prepared by method 1 and 33.6% in membranes prepared by method 2. The apparent affinities of Na+K+ATPase for K and for ouabain were unaltered relative to controls in membranes prepared from these hypertensive rats by method 1, and the sialic acid content and 5'-nucleotidase activity (two putative sarcolemmal markers) were unaltered in membranes from the hypertensive rats, prepared by methods 1 and 2 respectively. The Mg2+ATPase activity of membranes prepared by method 1 was increased in the RRM-saline hypertensive rats but because it was not increased in membranes prepared by method 2 the former observation does not appear to be of any pathophysiological importance. In other experiments, hypertension was reversed in RRM-saline hypertensive rats by restricting their salt intake (substitution of distilled water for drinking).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Membrane-bound adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activities of the sarcolemma-enriched fraction from bovine aorta were characterized. The membranes, isolated by a sucrose density gradient method, were enriched about 31-fold in sodium- and potassium-stimulated, magnesium-dependent ATPase (Na,K-ATPase) activity, and about 8-fold in 5'-nucleotidase activity compared to the homogenate, suggesting that the isolated membranes were substantially enriched with the sarcolemma. The membranes exhibited about 31, 33 and 42 mumol Pi/mg protein/h of Na,K-ATPase, magnesium-dependent ATPase and calcium-dependent ATPase activities, respectively, in the presence of 4 mmol/l ATP. The sarcolemma-enriched membranes required considerably high concentrations of well-known inhibitors for Na,K-ATPase such as vanadate (more than 1 mumol/l), lanthanum (more than 1 mmol/l) and calcium (10 mmol/l), to induce a significant inhibition in the Na,K-ATPase activity. Treatments of the membrane with physical disruptions and sodium dodecyl sulfate or deoxycholate reduced the total Na,K-ATPase activity, and did not expose fully the ouabain sensitivity of the Na,K-ATPase. These results indicate that there are marked differences in the properties of the ATPase between vascular smooth muscle sarcolemma and cardiac sarcolemma.

The distribution of plasma membrane markers, the sodium pump [evaluated as ouabain-sensitive, potassium-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (K+-pNPPase)], [3H]saxitoxin binding, and 5'-AMPase, was studied in the subcellular fractions prepared from the homogenates of the longitudinal smooth muscle/myenteric plexus of dog ileum. The K+-pNPPase activity and [3H]-saxitoxin binding were found to be predominantly associated with the synaptosomal fraction as indicated by the high level of these activities in the crude synaptosomal fraction and by the copurification of K+-pNPPase and [3H]saxitoxin binding, but not 5'-AMPase, with several synaptosomal markers during the fractionation of the crude synaptosomal fraction on density gradients. In contrast to the K+-pNPPase activity and [3H]saxitoxin binding, the 5'-AMPase activity was found to be concentrated in the microsomal pellet. Further fractionation of microsomes on density gradient resulted in copurification of 5'-AMPase but not K+-pNPPase or [3H]saxitoxin binding, with other smooth muscle plasma membrane-bound enzymes, such as high-affinity Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, and Ca2+-ATPase. It was concluded that in the longitudinal smooth muscle/myenteric plexus, the sodium pump activity is present in higher density in the neuronal plasma membranes whereas 5'-AMPase activity is concentrated in the smooth muscle plasma membranes.

The adenine nucleotide pool of rabbit retina was labeled by an intravitreal injection in vivo of [3H]adenosine. Practically all the radioactivity was retained in the form of adenine nucleotides. The relative proportion of [3H]adenine nucleotides was the same as that of endogenous nucleotides. Potassium depolarization (43.6 mM) in vitro caused a rapid increase in the rate of release of radioactive purines. The radioactive material was composed of hypoxanthine, xanthine, inosine and trace amounts of adenine, adenosine and adenine nucleotides. The release of radioactive purines was delayed and reduced by the addition of the nucleoside inhibitor dipyridamole suggesting that the purines may be released in the form of nucleosides. Similarly, the addition of the ecto 5'-nucleotidase inhibitor alpha, beta-methylene ADP (AOPCP) did not alter the release of radioactivity or the composition of the released purines. Endogenous hypoxanthine, xanthine and inosine could be detected in the effluents, but there was only a very modest increase following potassium depolarization. There was a slight, but significant, decrease in the release of endogenous adenosine and increase in AMP after AOPCP. It is concluded that there is an intensive uptake and phosphorylation of adenosine in the rabbit retina. Depolarization induces release of radioactive purine nucleosides and bases. Most of these compounds appear to be released as such, but in addition there may be a small (maximally a few per cent of the total) fraction of the purines that are released as nucleotides.
