Brush borders and plasma membranes have been purified from mucosal epithelial cells of rabbit ileum under control conditions and after treatment for 3 hr with cholera toxin in vivo. The activity of several enzymes in these preparations was measured. It was concluded that adenyl cyclase, like NaK-ATPase, seems not to be a normal constituent of brush borders. Both these enzymes are present in plasma membrane preparations derived largely from the basal and lateral margins of the epithelial cells, both may be phospholipid dependent enzymes and both are affected by cholera toxin. Adenyl cyclase activity is increased while NaK-ATPase is decreased. The activities of alkaline phosphatase, leucineaminopeptidase, 5'-nucleotidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and Mg-ATPase were not found to be affected by the toxin. Cholera toxin, which makes contact with the luminal side of the epithelial cells, in the natural disease and in the experimental model, would appear to exert its pathologic effect on adenyl cyclase at the opposite (basal and lateral) side of the cells.

The relationship between net tubular reabsorption of sodium and renal microsomal sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) was evaluated in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid rats and in age-matched euthyroid controls. Tubular sodium reabsorption per gram of kidney was lower in thyroidectomized rats than in controls (186+/-14 vs. 246+/-12 mueq/min; P < 0.005) and was accompanied by a quantitatively similar reduction in Na-K-ATPase specific activity (49.4+/-2.4 vs. 65.8+/-2.3 mumol inorganic phosphate (P(t))/mg protein per h; P < 0.001). This decrement was present in both cortex and outer medulla, and was limited to Na-K-ATPase since other representative enzymes not involved in sodium transport (magnesium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase [Mg-ATPase], glucose-6-phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase) remained unchanged or increased in the hypothyroid animals. Conversely, Na-K-ATPase rose when sodium reabsorption increased in euthyroid rats treated with triiodothyronine. Subsequent experiments were performed to determine to what extent the decrease in Na-K-ATPase is due to lack of thyroid hormone per se or to an adaptive response to decreased reabsorptive sodium load. Triiodothyronine in concentrations of 10(-12) to 10(-5) M had no effect in vitro on microsomal Na-K-ATPase of either thyroidectomized or euthyroid rats. When hypothyroid rats were uninephrectomized or treated with methylprednisolone, sodium reabsorption per gram kidney increased markedly and was similar to that of intact controls. Despite persistence of the hypothyroid state, Na-K-ATPase specific activity also increased to levels not significantly different from euthyroid animals. These data suggest that decreased tubular sodium transport is a major determinant of the reduction in renal Na-K-ATPase in thyroid deficiency since the latter can be reversed by increasing sodium reabsorption during continuing hypothyroidism. Furthermore, the modest sodium leak of hypothyroid animals does not appear to be due to decreased Na-K-ATPase since it was not corrected by uninephrectomy despite restoration of both cortical and medullary Na-K-ATPase activity to normal by this maneuver. The close correlation between net sodium reabsorption and Na-K-ATPase in all the experimental situations described here demonstrates that renal Na-K-ATPase changes adaptively in hyper- or hypothyroidism as it does in numerous situations in the normal animal, in accord with its postulated role in the active transport of sodium across the renal tubule.

The histochemical characteristics of spontaneous hepatocellular neoplasms in mice of both sexes were examined and compared with those of hepatocellular neoplasms induced in female mice by administration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon carcinogens as initiators with or without subsequent phenobarbitone treatment. Controls treated with phenobarbitone alone was also induced. Spontaneous neoplasms in the livers of mice rendered siderotic by subcutaneous iron injection were deficient in cellular accumulation of stainable iron. Glucose-6-phosphatase activity was deficient in the majority of spontaneous and induced neoplasms. ATPase activity was increase in about half of spontaneous and carcinogen-induced neoplasms but all induced neoplasms in mice treated with phenobarbitone showed deficient activity. Gamma-glutamyltransferase activity was present in very few of the spontaneous neoplasms or in the neoplasms induced in the absence of phenobarbitone administration. However, all induced neoplasms in the mice receiving phenobarbitone showed some degree of gamma-glutamyltransferase activity together with deficient glucose-6-phosphatase and ATPase activities. It is concluded that the histochemical characteristics of spontaneous or induced mouse hepatocellular neoplasms are variable and may be influenced by the inducing factors.

The localization of the anion-sensitive ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) of bovine corneal endothelium has been investigated. Homogenates were fractionated by differential and density gradient centrifugation, into fractions enriched in plasma membranes and mitochondria. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) and cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) were used as marker enzymes for these two cell components, and glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.5) was used to identify endoplasmic reticulum. 5'-Nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was also measured but was found not to be exclusively associated with any one cell component. The activity of the anion-sensitive ATPase (HCO3--ATPase) was measured in suspensions that were frozen and thawed before assay in order to expose latent enzyme activity. The fraction containing the greatest amount of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (35%) contained only 6% of the cytochrome oxidase and HCO3--ATPase. Conversely, the mitochondrial fraction, containing 40% of the cytochrome oxidase, contained about 40% of the HCO3--ATPase, but only 7% of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. The recoveries and relative degree of purification of the cytochrome oxidase and HCO3--ATPase were also nearly identical in the other fractions examined. It was concluded that the anion-sensitive ATPase activity of the corneal endothelium is located solely in the mitochondria and not in the plasma membrane. Consequently, any role that the enzymes may have in the transport of bicarbonate across this tissue, which had been suggested in earlier studies, must be an indirect one.

Deciliation of Paramecium tetraurelia by a Ca2+ shock procedure releases a discrete set of proteins which represent about 1% of the total cell protein. Marker enzymes for cytoplasm (hexokinase), endoplasmic reticulum (glucose-6-phosphatase), peroxisomes (catalase), and lysosomes (acid phosphatase) were not released by this treatment. Among the proteins selectively released is a Ca2+-dependent ATPase. This enzyme has a broad substrate specificity which includes GTP, ATP, and UTP, and it can be activated by Ca2+, Sr2+, or Ba2+, but not by Mg2+ or by monovalent cations. The crude enzyme has a specific activity of 2-3 mumol/min per mg; the optimal pH for activity is 7.5. ATPase, GTPase, and UTPase all reside in the same protein, which is inhibited by ruthenium red, is irreversibly denatured at 50 degrees C, and which has a sedimentation coefficient of 8-10 S. This enzyme is compared with other surface-derived ATPases of ciliated protozoans, and its possible roles are discussed.

Administration of N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (90 mumol/kg, iv) to rats results in damage to periportal hepatocytes. The most prominent ultrastructural changes are the appearance of numerous unusual vesicles of about 200 nm diameter and the proliferation of the endoplasmic reticulum to form fingerprint-like structures. In order to characterize these vesicles and to investigate their possible origin, their enzymatic activity was studied by ultrastructural enzyme histochemistry. The vesicles as well as the fingerprint-like structures exhibited glucose-6-phosphatase activity. Continuities between the vesicles and the membranes of both the RER and the SER were frequently seen. The vesicles lacked ATPase, 5'nucleotidase and catalase activity. From these results we conclude that the vesicles may be an unusual proliferation of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Prostaglandins E1 and E2 are specifically bound by particulate fractions from bovine adrenal medulla. The subcellular localization of these binding sites has been investigated by comparing their distribution in subcellular fractions obtained by differential and gradient centrifugation to those of marker enzymes for various organelles. Prostaglandin E2 binding sites were purified about 16-fold with respect to the homogenate in a fraction which was highly enriched in plasma membranes on the basis of the activities of the marker enzymes acetylcholinesterase and calcium-dependent ATPase, which were both purified by about 12-fold in this fraction. The plasma membrane fraction contained relatively low activities of marker enzymes for mitochondria (monoamine oxidase), lysosomes (acid phosphatase), endoplasmic reticulum (glucose-6-phosphatase), Golgi (galactosyl transferase) and chromaffin granule membranes (dopamine beta-hydroxylase). The only other fractions enriched in prostaglandin E2 binding sites were those for the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi, in which the binding sites were purified about 4-fold and 7-fold, respectively. This is probably due mainly to contamination with plasma membranes, since calcium-dependent ATPase and acetylcholinesterase were each purified to a similar extent in these two fractions. These data suggest that the high-affinity prostaglandin E2 binding sites of the adrenal medulla are localized primarily on the plasma membranes of the medullary cells.

The effect of a single oral dose of endosulfan (5 mg/kg body weight) on the uptake of certain nutrients and brush-border enzymes has been studied in rat intestine. The uptake of glucose and alanine was elevated but that of leucine was decreased in endosulfan-fed rats. There was no change in the uptake of phenylalanine and lysine in insecticide-fed rats. The activities of brush-border sucrase and alkaline phosphatase were considerably increased while the activity of Na+ K+ ATPase was reduced in endosulfan-exposed animals. The leucine aminopeptidase activity was unaffected in pesticide-treated rats. There was a significant decrease in cellular LDH and GOT activities with no change in GPT activity. Neither was there a considerable increase in the cellular glucose-6-phosphatase activity (P less than 0.01) in the pesticide-fed rats. These results suggest that endosulfan toxicity induces certain functional changes in the intestine.

Results of hepatocarcinogenesis studies are reviewed. The studies were made using different histochemical markers which permit revealing hyperplastic nodules in the liver. Determination of the gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, ATPase, glucose-6-phosphatase activities and the glycogen, iron, alpha-fetoprotein contents are advisable when studying early changes in different cell populations during hepatocarcinogenesis.

The plasma membtanes of normal rabbit endothelail cells were isolated by the use of an aqueous two-phase polymer system. The membrane fraction was identified by electron microscopy, and a fivefold to eightfold increase in the specific activity of two plasma membrane markers. Na+-K+-ATPase and 5'nucleotidase was found. Recovery of the enzyme markers averaged 45% and 22%, respectively. Analysis of the purified membranes for glucose-6-phosphatase, a marker for endoplasmic reticulum, showed no contamination by this structure. This method for cell membrane characterization is promising in determining the enzymatic alterations of diseased corneas.
