Treatment of Friend erythroleukemia cells with several different chemical agents causes an early decrease in the 86Rb+ influx mediated by Na+/K+ adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). These agents, which induce Friend cells to differentiate, include dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), ouabain, hypoxanthine, and actinomycin D. The magnitude of the early decrease in 86Rb+ influx correlates with the proportion of cells in cultures of inducible Friend cell clones which later go on to synthesize hemoglobin. Compounds which do not incude differentiation in these cells, such as xanthine, exogenous hematin, and erythropoietin, do not cause a change in 86Rb+ influx. A change in the intracellular K+ ion concentration does not occur during induction by DMSO because, although there is a decrease in K+ content per cell soon after induction, there is a parallel decrease in cell volume. These results and previous observations from this laboratory are discussed in terms of the posible involvement of the Na+/K+ ATPase in Friend cell differentiation.

Induction of erythroid differentiation in ouabain-resistant murine erythroleukemia cells by ouabain is reported. Ouabain induction results in the appearance of hemoglobin-containing cells 12-24 hr earlier than induction of the same clone by dimethyl sulfoxide. The levels of globin mRNA after ouabain induction are similar in amount to the globin mRNA levels observed after induction by dimethyl sulfoxide. The concentration of ouabain required to induce hemoglobin synthesis depends upon the K+ ion levels in the culture medium. Lowering the extracellular K+ ion concentration 2-4 fold reduced by 10-40 fold the ouabain concentration necessary for the induction of hemoglobin synthesis. In low K+ medium (1.8 mM), ouabain is an effective inducer of hemoglobin synthesis at a concentration of 0.02 mM. This K+ effect is specific for ouabain induction, since induction by other inducers, such as dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethyl acetamide, does not exhibit this marked sensitivity to the levels of K+ ions in the culture medium. These results suggest that the binding of ouabain to the plasma membrane enzyme, Na/K ATPase, is required for the induction of erythroid differentiation by ouabain. A small but significant proportion of wild-type, ouabain-sensitive cells also can be induced by ouabain, below ouabain concentrations that are toxic to these cells. The observation that the binding of ouabain to the Na/K ATPase induces hemoglobin synthesis suggests that changes in the intracellular concentration of K+ ions may be involved in the control of erythroid differentiation in Friend erythroleukemic cells.

A balance of ATP-consuming processes in human erythroleukemia (K 562) cells by use of the decreased 14CO2 formation from [1-14C]-glutamate following inhibition of energy-requiring processes is presented. This method was tested on Ehrlich mouse ascites tumour cells and was used in suspensions of K 562 cells with a low cell content. More than 90 percent of the ATP produced by oxidative phosphorylation could be accounted for in K 562 cells. Protein synthesis consumed about 35 percent, Na+/K(+)-ATPase about 20 percent and transcription processes 5-10 percent of the total ATP. The share of the Ca(2+)-dependent reactions was notably high at 25 percent in comparison with Ehrlich mouse ascites tumour cells, reticulocytes or hepatocytes. ATP consumption by DNA synthesis was assessed at 5-10 percent. Only less than 10 percent of the consumption of ATP produced oxidatively remained for other cellular reactions. The degree of coupling of K 562 cells was high in comparison with that of other eukaryotic cell types.

The membrane electric effects of N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide (DCCD) and vanadate were studied in murine erythroleukemia cells (MELC), comparing the patch-clamp technique and the accumulation ratio (ARexp) of [3H]-tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+). Electrophysiological measurements showed that both these inhibitors produce, at micromolar concentrations, a 20-30 mV hyperpolarization of resting potential (delta psi p) of MELC, which is abolished when the electrochemical equilibrium potential of K+ (EK) is brought close to zero. DCCD and vanadate turned out to have distinct targets on the plasma membrane of MELC (an H+ pump and the Na+,K(+)-ATPase, respectively). Measurements of ARexp showed that: (i) patch-clamp measurements of delta psi p were equivalent to those based on ARexp of antimycin-pretreated cells (ARANT); (ii) DCCD produced a strong increase in ARANT, that was antagonized by carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl-hydrazone (FCCP) and diethylstilbestrol (DES); (iii) vanadate determined a marked increase in ARANT that was insensitive to FCCP, but antagonized by ouabain; (iv) incubation in high K+ medium (HK) brought ARANT to 1.0 in the controls, but did not lower this ratio below 3.0 in the presence of DCCD or vanadate; (v) the total amount of TPP+ taken up by the cells was in any case water extractable by a freezing and thawing procedure. On the whole, our data indicate that DCCD and vanadate hyperpolarize the MELC by increasing the K+ conductance and, at the same time, enhance the TPP+ binding, probably by changing the electrostatic potential profile of the plasma membrane. These effects seem to involve functional modifications of the target pumps, apparently related to the ion-occluding state of these enzymes.

The selection and biochemical characterization of ouabain-resistant erythroleukemia cell lines are described. Treatment of ouabain-resistant Friend erythroleukemia cell (FLC) lines with 1 mM ouabain demonstrated a reduced ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+-uptake after Na+-preloading in comparison with ouabain-sensitive cells. The ouabain- and diuretic (piretanide)-insensitive component of the 86Rb+-uptake (residual influx) was significantly enhanced in the ouabain-resistant FLC clones. Measurements of the Na+,K+-ATPase activity (E.C. 3.6.1.3) in plasma membrane preparations of the ouabain-resistant FLC clone B6/2 indicated that a ouabain-resistant Na+,K+-ATPase activity of about 20% of the total enzyme activity existed in the presence of 1 mM ouabain. Further experiments showed that the Na+,K+-ion-gradient in ouabain-resistant B6/2 cells was unaffected by ouabain exposure whereas the gradient collapsed in wild type 12 N cells. Another property of the ouabain-resistant cell lines was a decrease of the 86Rb+-uptake due to the Na+,K+, 2Cl(-)-cotransport system measured as piretanide-sensitive 86Rb+-uptake. The data on ion transport mechanisms in QuaR and QuaS FLC are discussed with respect to mutagen-induced and spontaneous cellular ouabain resistance. In addition, the role of altered ion transport mechanisms is considered for induced erythroid differentiation.

A 2.2-kilobase clone comprising a major portion of the coding sequence of the Na+,K+-ATPase alpha subunit was cloned from human placenta and its sequence was identical to that encoding the alpha subunit of human kidney and HeLa cells. Transfer blot analysis of the mRNA products of the Na+,K+-ATPase gene from various human tissues and cell lines revealed only one band (approximately 4.7 kilobases) under low and high stringency washing conditions. The levels of expression in the tissues were intestine greater than placenta greater than liver greater than pancreas, and in the cell lines the levels were human erythroleukemia greater than butyrate-induced colon greater than colon greater than brain greater than HeLa cells. mRNA was undetectable in reticulocytes, consistent with our failure to detect positive clones in a size-selected (greater than 2 kilobases) lambda gt11 reticulocyte cDNA library. DNA analysis revealed a polymorphic EcoRI band and chromosome localization by flow sorting and in situ hybridization showed that the alpha subunit is on the short arm (band p11-p13) of chromosome 1.

The effect of the mitochondrial dye rhodamine 123 (Rho 123) on protein synthesis (PS) activity was investigated in mitochondria isolated from liver and from both chloroma and erythroleukemia tumors. Incorporation of labelled leucine into mitochondrial protein was used to measure the rate of PS. While PS specific activity was much higher in hematopoietic tumors mitochondria as compared to that of liver, the addition of increased concentration of Rho 123 in all tested organelles resulted in increased inhibition of PS to reach 75-82% with 10 micrograms/ml of the dye. Similar results were obtained with 10 micrograms/ml of chloramphenicol, the specific inhibitor of mitochondrial PS. Moreover, under the conditions of the study, the addition of Rho 123 to mitochondria did not trigger any ATPase activity, thus eliminating any competition for the energy source ATP between PS and ATPase. These results demonstrate that, in addition to its known inhibitory action on oxidative phosphorylation, the mitochondrial dye Rho 123 has a potent inhibitory effect on PS in both liver and hematopoietic tumors mitochondria.

The effect of nitrogen mustard (2-chloro-N-2-chloroethyl-N-methylethanamine), Trenimon (2,3,5-trisethyleneiminobenzoquinone-1,4), chlorambucil (4-[p-(bis[2-chloroethyl]amino)-phenyl]butyric acid) and phosphamide mustard (N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-diamidophosphoric acid) on Na+/K+-ATPase, membrane fluidity and cell multiplication was studied. With the exception of chlorambucil which does not affect Na+/K+-ATPase all concentrations of the other alkylating agents which inhibit cell multiplication of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells depress the activity of the Na+/K+-ATPase. All alkylating agents--including chlorambucil--caused an increase in the apparent degree of fluorescence polarization after labelling of the plasma membrane with 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH). This effect is interpreted as a decrease in membrane fluidity caused by the alkylating drugs. The decrease in membrane fluidity is due to a direct interaction of the alkylating agent with the plasma membrane and is expressed at all concentrations of the drug which inhibit cell proliferation. No effect on membrane fluidity is observed after treatment of cells resistant to nitrogen mustard. The biological consequence of a decrease in membrane fluidity was investigated by growing Friend erythroleukemia cells in the presence of 10 mM cholesterol hemisuccinate. This procedure raises the microviscosity of the plasma membrane and depresses cell proliferation.

Since agents which affect Ca2+ fluxes have been shown to affect the commitment to terminal differentiation of murine erythroleukemia cells treated with an inducer of differentiation (Bridges, K., Levenson, R., Housman, D., and Cantley, L. (1981) J. Cell Biol. 90, 542-544), we investigated the presence of Ca2+-transport systems in plasma membranes isolated from these cells. Plasma membranes from murine erythroleukemia cells exhibited a high affinity (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase activity with a Vmax of 29 +/- 4 nmol/mg/min and an apparent K0.5 for free Ca2+ of 0.13 microM. This activity was strongly inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion by low concentrations of trifluoperazine, compound 48/80, lanthanum, and vanadate with I50 of 29 microM, 1.75 micrograms/ml, 1.5 microM, and 0.4 microM, respectively. The inhibitory effect of compound 48/80 was specifically reversed by exogenously added calmodulin. Phosphorylation of plasma membranes with [gamma-32P] ATP followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoretic analysis at low pH revealed a Ca2+-dependent phosphoprotein with an apparent molecular mass of 138,000 daltons which co-migrated with the Ca2+-dependent phosphoprotein from human erythrocytes and was separable from sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase. The 32P incorporated into the phosphoprotein could be chased with unlabeled ATP and the protein-phosphate bond was unstable at alkaline pH suggesting an acylphosphate ATPase intermediate like that previously characterized in other (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPases.

The Friend murine erythroleukemia cell system and the Daudi Burkitt's lymphoma cell system were used to study the effect of growth-inhibitory concentrations of interferon on membrane functions. Experiments with Friend-cell clones sensitive and resistant to interferon indicated that a number of changes in membrane transport occur rapidly after the addition of interferon to sensitive cells. While no change was observed in the activity of the (Na+/K+) ATPase in Friend cells sensitive or resistant to interferon, a piretanide-inhibitable Na+,K+, 2Cl- co-transport system was specifically inhibited after interferon treatment of sensitive cells. In contrast, treatment of Daudi cells with purified molecularly cloned or standard preparations of human leukocyte interferon gave rise to no early changes in the transport of amino acids, 32Pi, sugars, or 86Rb+. The major change observed in Daudi cells was a marked reduction in the uptake and incorporation of thymidine, which begins to decrease after 8-10 h of exposure to interferon.
