The transverse distribution of enzyme proteins and phospholipids within microsomal membranes was studied by analyzing membrane composition after treatment with proteases and phospholipases. Upon trypsin treatment of closed microsomal vesicles, NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductases as well as cytochrome b5 were solubilized or inactivated, while cytochrome P-450 was partially inactivated. When microsomes were exposed to a concentration of deoxycholate which makes them permeable to macromolecules but does not disrupt the membrane, the detergent alone was sufficient to release four enzymes: nucleoside diphosphatase, esterase, beta-glucuronidase, and a portion of the DT-diaphorase. Introduction of trypsin into the vesicle lumen inactivated glucose-6-phosphatase completely and cytochrome P-450 partially. The rest of this cytochrome, ATPase, AMPase, UDP-glucuronyltransferase, and the remaining 50% of DT-diaphorase activity were not affected by proteolysis from either side of the membrane. Phospholipase A treatment of intact microsomes in the presence of albumin hydrolyzed all of the phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and 55% of the phosphatidylcholine. From this observation, it was concluded that these lipids are localized in the outer half of the bilayer of the microsomal membrane; Phosphatidylinositol, 45% of the phosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin are tentatively assigned to the inner half of this bilayer. It appears that the various enzyme proteins and phospholipids of the microsomal membrane display an asymmetric distribution in the transverse plane.

The effect of 1.8 mg/liter (LC50) of mercuric chloride exposure on the activities of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, amylase, pepsin, trypsin, tripeptidase glycyl-glycine dipeptidase and carnosinase has been examined in Channa punctatus. The three phosphatases have been inhibited in the liver but showed an increase in activity in the intestine and pyloric caeca. Amylase, pepsin and trypsin have also shown a slight increase in activity. There has been no significant alteration in the activites of the peptidases. The results show that mercury inhibits the activites of phosphatases in the liver but has no significant effect on the digestive enzymes within the experimental period of 96 hours.

Alterations in the activities of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase amylase, trypsin, pepsin, aminotripeptidase, glycylglycine dipeptidase and carnosinase due to exposure of Channa punctatus to a sublethal concentration (0.30 mg/L) of mercuric chloride by bath for 20 days have been studied in the different parts of the digestive system. Afall in the activities of the three phosphatases was recorded except for alkaline phosphatase which showed a slight elevation in activity in intestine and pyloric caeca. An increase in the activity of amylase and the two proteases was observed in all the portions of the digestive system. The three peptidases revealed a decrease in activity.

Controlled proteolytic digestion by trypsin or bacterial proteases limited to the cytosolic side of the native microsomal membrane is not efficient to inhibit glucose-6-phosphate hydrolysis. Modification of the microsomes with deoxycholate prior to protease treatment is prerequisite to allow accessibility of the integral protein and inhibition of enzyme activity. Glucose-6-phosphatase of native microsomes, however, is rapidly inactivated by micromolar concentrations of TPCK as well as TLCK. In deoxycholate-modified microsomes both reagents do not affect glucose-6-phosphate hydrolysis. These results indicate that in the native, intact microsomal membrane glucose-6-phosphatase is not accessible to proteolytic attack from the cytoplasmic surface. The putative inhibitory effect of some trypsin or bacterial protease preparations on glucose-6-phosphatase of native microsomes observed most possibly is a result of contaminating agents as TPCK or TLCK.

A surgical model of EstoRex ultrasound destroyer operating at a frequency of 60 KHz, power of 6 W, and vibration amplitude at the tip of the tool of 15 microns was used to make incisions on rat liver. 5 to 7 s or 24 hr after surgery the specimens of the wound wall were fixed and further processed for electron microscopy and histochemical visualization of glucose-6-phosphatase at the ultrastructural level. In a separate series 2 mm-thick strips of the tissue were excised from the liver, processed by the destroyer for 45 s, and then exposed to a digestion treatment with mixture of trypsin and chymotrypsin for 24 hr at 37 degrees C or in solution of cathepsin L for 60 hr at 25 degrees C. The results showed that ultrasound caused not only thermal but also nonthermal ultrastructural and histochemical alterations, due probably to cavitation and viscous stresses. The ultrasound wound did not contain any proteolytically resistant material. Since ultrasound-processed tissue turned out to be highly susceptible to proteolytic digestion we suggest that the ultrasound destroyer, unlike Nd:YAG laser surgical instrument, would be a promising surgical tool with respect to wound cleaning and healing.

We describe the successful isolation and maintenance of primary cultures of dog gallbladder epithelial cells. The surgically removed gallbladder was treated with trypsin/EDTA for 45 minutes and epithelial cells were collected and resuspended in Eagle's minimum essential medium with 10% fetal calf serum, and plated on Vitrogen-coated culture dishes. Each gallbladder yielded approximately 12 to 15 x 10(6) columnar epithelial cells, greater than 95% of which were viable by trypan blue exclusion. In culture, cells maintained their polarity. They were arranged and grew in small and tight clusters that coalesced at confluency. When examined using transmission electron microscopy, prominent and numerous microville were identified on the apical portion of the plasma membrane. Cells were connected by well-formed desmosomes. Scanning electron microscopy revealed clusters of polyhedral cells with numerous papillary projections. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated uniform staining of cells to keratin 35BH11 and AE1. Histochemical studies were positive for gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and negative for glucose-6-phosphatase and albumin. Cells incorporated [3H]uridine into intracellular proteins and [14C]glucosamine into tissue and secreted mucous glycoproteins linearly over 2 to 24 hours. Flow cytometry studies demonstrated a consistent and reproducible number of cells (10 to 12%) at S-phase. However, the number of cells at S-phase was dramatically reduced to almost negligible as cells reached confluency. This method of culturing primary dog gallbladder epithelial cells is highly reproducible and reliable. These cells preserve their state of differentiation, polarity, histochemical and immunohistochemical profile, morphologic, and metabolic integrity with repeated passaging or after being frozen. [3H]Thymidine uptake is well maintained, although doubling time shows a trend of decreased cell duplication with time. This technique offers the opportunity to study the electrophysiologic, metabolic, and immunologic properties of epithelial cells.

Apolipoprotein B (apoB), a protein containing several hydrophobic beta-sheet structures, is essential for the assembly of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Previously, we found that only a fraction of de novo synthesized apoB is secreted; the remainder is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum where it is degraded. To understand the basis for these observations, translocation, the first step in the secretory pathway, was examined. Translocation of apoB was determined by its sensitivity to degradation by the exogenous protease, trypsin. In rough microsomes, about half of the apoB was degraded by trypsin. In contrast, in Golgi fractions little (if any) apoB was accessible to trypsin. Essentially all of the apoB that was degraded was membrane bound. Monoclonal IgGs against either the N-terminal or C-terminal halves of apoB were bound to magnetic beads and used to immunoisolate microsomes. In contrast to the specific ability of the IgGs against apoB to isolate microsomes, little or no microsomes were isolated using nonimmune IgG and IgG against albumin. Since microsomes remained intact and oriented right-side out as demonstrated by the inability of trypsin both to degrade albumin and to affect the capacity of the intralumenal enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase to dephosphorylate mannose 6-phosphate, the data suggest that a pool of apoB is exposed on the cytoplasmic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. To determine if the trypsin-accessible pool of apoB is a transient form, pulse-chase experiments were performed. The results show that the percent of apoB that was trypsin accessible increased during the first 20 min of the chase, suggesting that during this time the trypsin-accessible pool of apoB is not translocated (it does not become trypsin insensitive). Thus, in two in vivo models (cultured cells and rat liver) translocation of apoB is not quantitative. We propose that apoB translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum determines its entry into two functionally distinct pools. The intralumenal trypsin-insensitive pool participates in the assembly of very low density lipoprotein; the trypsin-accessible nontranslocated cytoplasmic pool is shunted into a degradative pathway. Regulated translocation of apoB may provide a unique mechanism with which to determine the rate of very low density lipoprotein assembly/secretion.

In this paper we show that hepatocytes that have been depleted of K+ secrete albumin, alpha-1-anti-trypsin and transferrin at a slower rate than cells to which K+ has been returned. K+ depletion has no effect on the intracellular nucleotide pools, and we provide evidence that the inhibitions of secretion caused by depletion of K+ and depletion of ATP are independent. Studies of the processing of alpha-1-anti-trypsin show that K+ depletion inhibits the formation of the mature form of the protein, but that immature forms are never secreted. In cells to which K+ was returned, secretion of the mature form was restored. This implies that transport is blocked at a point before the proteins reach the processing enzymes. Proteins delayed by K+ depletion are not removed from the secretory pathway, but are free to mix with protein synthesized subsequently. These data are supported by subcellular fractionation experiments, which show that the secretory proteins are delayed before reaching the Golgi complex, and by immunoelectron microscopic studies. These show that in K+-deficient cells the morphology of both the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex is normal. The secretory proteins are trapped in smooth vesicles that contain reaction product when incubated for glucose-6-phosphatase, a marker for the endoplasmic reticulum.

Renin granules were isolated from rat kidney cortex by a continuous polyvinyl-pyrrolidone-coated colloidal silica (Percoll) density gradient centrifugation. A major peak of renin activity was found at a density of 1.12-1.13 g/ml, and the specific activity of renin in the peak fraction was increased by approximately 70-fold, as compared with that in the kidney cortex homogenate. On the other hand, activities of other reference enzymes, such as succinate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase, were not detectable in the peak fraction. When the extract of the peak fraction was applied to a pepstatin column, trypsin-activated renin could not be detected in the breakthrough fractions. These results indicate that renin granules of the rat kidney cortex contain only active renin.

Primary cultures of liver cells isolated from adult rats by trypsin and collagenase perfusion techniques were carried out to compare cytologic and biochemical properties between the differently prepared cells. Trypsin-dispersed cells consisted of comparatively smaller cells, whereas collagenase-dispersed cells consisted of larger cells. The cell attachment efficiency on culture day 1 was about twice as high in the liver cells prepared with collagenase than those prepared with trypsin. Mature hepatocytes isolated by collagenase perfusion could be maintained in the primary culture for a longer period than those isolated by trypsin perfusion. Epithelial-like clear cells started to grow much earlier in the primary culture of the trypsin-dispersed liver cells than in that of the collagenase-dispersed liver cells. Earlier proliferation of epithelial-like clear cells could not be induced by in vitro trypsinization of the collagenase-dispersed liver cells. Both kinds of enzymatically prepared liver cells showed albumin production and exhibited glucose 6-phosphatase (D-glucose-6-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.9, G6Pase) and tyrosine aminotransferase (L-tyrosine: 2-oxoglutarate amino-transferase, EC 2.6.1.5, TAT) activities for 1 week in the primary culture. Albumin production was higher in the liver cells prepared with collagenase than those prepared with trypsin, whereas G6Pase activity was almost the same between them. TAT activity up to culture day 2 was about 3-fold higher in the liver cells prepared with collagenase than in those prepared with trypsin. Combined supplementation of dexamethasone (1 X 10(-5)M) and insulin (10 micrograms/ml) consistently improved the cell attachment efficiency and was very effective in the maintenance of mature hepatocytes in both types. Furthermore, these hormones enhanced the albumin production and TAT activity in both types.
