Plasma membranes were isolated from the livers of control and Streptococcus pneumoniae-infected rats. This work, therefore, represents the first isolation of plasma membranes from infected actron microscopy and by the use of enzyme markers for microsomes (glucose-6-phosphatase), mitochondria (glutamate and malate dehydrogenases), and lysosomes (acid phosphatase). Plasma membranes from infected cells banded at the same sucrose density as plasma membranes from uninfected cells. Moreover, equivalent amounts of plasma membranes could be isolated from control and infected rat livers. There were, however, significant alterations in the enzyme complement of the plasma membrane after infection. 5'-Nucleotidase activity was significantly decreased, whereas alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly increased. Kinetic analysis demonstrated that only the Vmax and not the Km of these two enzymes was changed, suggesting that the altered affinity of the enzymes for substrate was not the mechanism responsible for the observed alterations. No change in the mitochondrial enzyme markers was observed after infection, but the specific activity of microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase decreased significantly. Possible explanations for the observed alterations are discussed.

Twelve acid hydrolases, 4 near-neutral hydrolases, and alkaline phosphatase were demonstrated in 0.34 M sucrose homogenates of Trypanosoma cruzi strain Y: p-nitrophenylphosphatase and alpha-naphthylphosphatase, with optimum pH at approximately 6.0; alpha=ga;actpsodase. beta=ga;actpsodase. beta=g;icpsodase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, cathepsin A and peptidase I and III, with optimum pH between 5.0 and 6.0; and arylsulfatase, cathepsin D, alpha-arabinase and alpha-mannosidase with optimum pH at approximately 4.0. alpha-Glucosidase, glucose-6-phosphatase and peptidase II had optimum pH at approximately 7.0. beta-Glycerophosphatase had a broad pH-activity curve from 4,0 to 7.4, with maximum activity at pH 7.0. The main kinetic characteristics of these enzymes and their quantitative assay methods were studied. No activity was detected for alpha-fucosidase, beta-xylosidase, beta-glucuronidase, elaidate esterase, acid lipase, and alkaline phosphodiesterase.

2-Deoxy-D-galactose, in a dose of 3 mmol/kg, was administered intraperitoneally twice daily to young rats for periods up to 12 weeks. This dosage schedule resulted in recurrent phosphate trapping predominantly in liver. UTP deficiency was excluded by simultaneous uridine injections. Phosphate trapping was caused by the rapid accumulation of 2-deoxy-D-galactose 1-phosphate and was most pronounced in liver but also demonstrated in small intestine, brain, spleen, and thymus. The marked, although transient, drop in the hepatic content of inorganic phosphate triggered the catabolism of adenine nucleotides and a loss of ATP. Other metabolic pathways affected by phosphate deficiency include glycogenolysis and glycolysis. Increasing with time, repeated doses of the galactose analog led to retardation and arrest of growth, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly. The average relative liver and spleen weights were elevated 2.5- and 4.5-fold, respectively, after 12 weeks of treatment. Liver damage was indicated by hyperbilirubinaemia and a progressive rise in the activity in plasma of sorbitol dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyltransferase. Examination by light and electron microscopy showed increasing numbers of vacuoles, surrounded by a single membrane, in hepatocytes, sinusoidal endothelial cells, and Kupffer cells. Focal cytoplasmic degeneration in hepatocytes was occasionally indicated by formation of autophagic vacuoles and finger print lysosomes. Hepatocytes of 2-deoxy-D-galactose-treated rats showed a dissociation and fragmentation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kupffer cells were markedly enlarged, the latter contained a PAS-positive but amylase resistant substance. Extrahepatic changes included an increased occurrence of vacuolated cells in thymus. Phosphate trapping and its metabolic consequences are common phenomena in the experimental injury induced b 2-deoxy-D-galactose and in some hereditary diseases such as uridylyltransferase deficiency galactosaemia, fructose intolerance and glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency.

Sorbitol density gradient centrifugation applied to intestinal mucosa homogenates resulted in a complete separation of soluble calcium-binding protein from the bound fraction of calcium-binding protein, providing further documentation of the bound pool of calcium-binding protein. The peak of the bound calcium-binding protein was not associated with the major peaks of any of the markers used, but was associated with minor peaks of alkaline phosphatase, RNA, and glucose-6-phosphatase. Lack of association of bound calcium-binding protein with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase indicated that the bound calcium-binding protein is not on the basolateral membrane. Differential centrifugation fractionation indicated that the bound calcium-binding protein is not associated with nuclei or mitochondria. The bound calcium-binding protein also could not be detected in partially purified brush borders. Exclusion of the brush border and basolateral membranes as the location of the bound calcium-binding protein suggests an intracellular locale.

The in vitro effects of vitamin D3 metabolites, parathyroid extract (PTE), purified parathyroid hormone (bPTH), vitamin A, and heparin on acid and alkaline phosphatases in rat or mouse calvaria in culture were investigated. Results show that: (a) when compared to values found in half calvaria incubated for 24 h in control medium, the bone acid and alkaline phosphatase content is significantly higher in paired halves incubated with PTE (L USP/ml), bPTH (4 x 10(-8)M), heparin (5 USP/ml), vitamin A (23 USP/ml), 25-(OH)D3 (2.5 x 10(-11) to 2.5 x 10(-8)M), 24,25-(OH)2D3, and 1,25-(OH)2D3 (2.5 x 10(-12) to 2.5 x 10(-7M); (b) the presence of 24,25-(OH)2D3 at low concentrations in the incubation medium decreases significantly the PTE, bPTH, vitamin A, or heparin induced stimulation of the phosphatase activities. This interaction is also observed when measuring beta glucuronidase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities and 45Ca release from previously labeled mouse calvaria; (c) a similar activity could not be found with 1,25-(OH)2D3 suggesting that 24,25-(OH)2D3 may have a specific role in bone metabolism.

Differential centrifugation was applied to adult and foetal liver of monkey. Obtained fractions were: F1 (800 X g); F2 (12 500 X g); F3 (200 000 X g); and cell sap. Analysis of chemical compounds of these fractions shows that: (1) adult and foetal nucleic acids levels are similar; (2) there are more proteins in adult than in foetal hepatocytes; (3) most of the glycogen is located in F3; the foetal level is twenty times higher than the adult level. Plasma membrane enzymes (5'-nucleotidase, adenylate cyclase) show a nucleomicrosomic distribution. The distribution of alkaline phosphatase is not significant. Mitochondrial enzymes (monoamine oxydase, succinate cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome oxydase) are enriched in F2 without any sedimentation in F3. There is more malate dehydrogenase liberated in cell sap during foetal liver fractionation. This indicates the foetal mitochondria are more sensitive to the homogenisation method. Lysosomal enzymes (acid phosphatase, N-acetylglucosaminidase) are enriched in F2. The same observation for N-acetylglucosaminidase as for malate dehydrogenase leads to the same conclusion for foetal lysosomes. Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi enzymes (glucose-6-phosphatase and related phosphotransferase activity, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and sialytransferase) are much enriched in F3. Thus this fraction F3 is pure enough to allow the observation of the modification produced on endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus during foetal and neonatal development.

We have examined the effect of chronic diabetes mellitus upon cell membrane composition and turnover in streptozotocin-treated rats and control animals maintained for four to eight weeks. Liver plasma membranes, prepared from diabetic animals, showed enhanced activities of alkaline phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase and depressed 5'-nucleotidase when compared with controls. Studies of the nonprotein constituents of liver plasma membranes and red cell "ghosts" showed similar changes in both tissues: sialic acid and cholesterol content were reduced in the membranes of diabetic animals, while phospholipids (total and individual classes) and neutral sugars were unchanged. To look for changes in relative turnover rates of individual membrane proteins, we combined a double-label in-vivo technic using [3H] and [14C] leucine with polyacrylamide gel separation of membrane proteins. No significant differences were observed between control and diabetic animals. In chronically diabetic animals, cell membranes may show significant changes in overall composition with no significant changes in the rate of protein turnover.

The authors studied the modifications of the activities of some enzymes in cell cultures submitted to the action of biliverdin. This biliary pigment rapidly induces a remarkable increase in alkaline phosphatase and ATP-ase activities and subsequently, an activation of acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase. On the contrary, 5'-nucleotidase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities remain unchanged. These results are discussed and compared with those obtained in our and other laboratories by using unconjugated bilirubin on different biological substrates.

Male Wistar rats were given 50 mug of aflatoxin B1 twice a week for 4 weeks, and thereafter 75 mug twice a week for 10 weeks. Their livers were investigated histologically and histochemically for glycogen, RNA, fat, alkaline and acid phosphatases, adenosine triphosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, and alkaline and acid nucleases. No significant lesions occurred before 15 weeks. During this period, the liver was histochemically unchanged except for a periportal decrease of alkaline phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase. Scattered hepatocytes with a strong glucose-6-phosphatase activity appeared. These changes represent toxic effects of aflatoxin B1 and are irrelevant to carcinogenesis. From 15 weeks onward, three types of liver cell hyperplastic foci and nodules developed. Histologically, and with respect to glycogen, fat, and RNA content, only two of these types were considered as potential precursors of hepatocarcinomas. However, all types exhibited a decrease or absence of the enzymes studied. Both histological and histochemical changes stressed the complex heterogeneity existing between and within hepatic foci and nodules. From 11 months on, hepatocarcinomas developed. The tumors disclosed similar histochemical changes. This similarity further supports the "precarcinomatous" nature of hyperplastic foci and nodules. It appears that focal changes in surface as well as in cytoplasmic and nuclear enzymes are intimately and very early linked to the carcinogenic process. Whether they are fundamental or only represent an epiphenomenon remains unclear.

The effect of gamma irradiation on alkaline phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate has been studied in three anatomically different regions of the small intestine at a surface dose of 400 R. Both the enzymatic activities were shown to be enhanced in duodenum, jejunum and ileum 24 hours after irradiation. The activity of alkaline phosphatase on day 3 tendeed to be low as compared to day 1 post irradiation, but glucose-6-phosphatase continued to rise even after day 3. Maximum rise of glucose-6-phosphatase was observed in the jejunum. On day 9, alkaline phosphatase was diminished below the controls in the whole of intestine, but appeared to be normal on day 10. Glucose-6-phosphatase in duodenum and jejunum on the other hand was comparable to that of control mice; but in ileum, the activity of this enzyme was below the normal values. Physiological significances of these enzymes in intestine has been discussed.
