Phosphorus 31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) was used to study noninvasively the intracellular free Mg2+ concentration and cellular bioenergetic state of rat brain in vivo before and after fluid percussion-induced traumatic brain injury of graded severity. Brain injury was induced at four levels: low (1.0 +/- 0.5 atm); moderate (2.1 +/- 0.4 atm); high (3.9 +/- 0.9 atm); and severe (5.9 +/- 0.7 atm). Prior to injury, mean intracellular values for all groups (n = 24; mean +/- SE) were as follows: pH = 7.11 +/- 0.03; free [Mg2+] = 0.99 +/- 0.07 mM; cytosolic [ADP] = 25.2 +/- 0.8 nmol/g wet weight; cytosolic [AMP] = 0.29 +/- 0.02 nmol/g wet weight; cytosolic phosphorylation potential = 118.5 +/- 3.1 X 10(3) M-1; free energy of ATP hydrolysis = 62.11 +/- 0.04 kJ/mole; and energy charge = 0.99 +/- 0.01. Following every level of injury, there were decreases in intracellular free Mg2+ concentration, and alterations in the intracellular pH. These posttraumatic changes in Mg2+ and pH induced shifts in the equilibrium constants of the creatine kinase, adenylate kinase, and ATPase reactions, resulting in alterations in [ADP], [AMP], cytosolic phosphorylation potential, and free energy of hydrolysis, but not in the energy charge. The alterations in cytosolic phosphorylation potential following trauma were linearly correlated with the changes in intracellular free Mg2+ concentration. None of the individual bioenergetic parameters could be correlated with the severity of injury over the entire injury range; however, an association between cytosolic phosphorylation potential and reversibility of injury was apparent. These results suggest that reductions in cellular bioenergetic state following traumatic brain injury occur through a posttraumatic decrease in the cells' capacity for oxidative phosphorylation, which itself may be directly related to the intracellular free Mg2+ concentration.

After prolonged ischemia followed by reperfusion of the isolated rat heart, irreversible heart failure is associated with creatine kinase leakage from the cells. The possible implications of MM creatine kinase leakage from myofibrillar compartments on the contractile properties of ventricular muscle have been studied in control versus ischemic hearts. Total creatine kinase activity decreased in ischemic cells while creatine kinase and ATPase activities were not modified in isolated myofibrils. The efficiency of creatine kinase and phosphocreatine in the relaxation of rigor tension in skinned ventricular preparations was not changed after ischemia. Furthermore, neither the pCa/tension relationship nor the rate of tension development following length changes were modified by ischemia. These results show that the contractile properties of myofilaments as well as the functional coupling between myosin ATPase and creatine kinase are preserved in ischemic hearts suffering irreversible contractile failure.

Lactic acid is formed and accumulated in the muscle under conditions of high energy demand, rapid fluctuations of the energy requirement and insufficient supply of O2. During intense exercise sustained to fatigue muscle pH decreases to about 6.4-6.6. Force generation does not appear to be limited by the high H+ ion concentration per se but is more related to the PCr level. Phosphofructokinase may be inhibited by high H+ concentration but the inhibition is adequately overcome by increases in the activators AMP and ADP. A high concentration of H+ will decrease PCr by a direct effect on the creatine kinase equilibrium and indirectly by an increase in ADP. The effect of acidosis on glycolysis and on the PCr level will result in a decreased rate of ADP rephosphorylation, and it is suggested that ADP increases transiently above the steady-state level in the contracting muscle fibre. It is further suggested that the function of Na-K-ATPase is impaired by the increase of ADP resulting in an altered ionic balance over the muscle cell membrane. Muscle fatigue is thus considered to be due to an insufficient rate of ADP rephosphorylation resulting in a block in the activation process or in the excitation/contraction coupling.

Attempts to identify mechanisms by which calcium antagonists might influence intracellular metabolism have not yet yielded conclusive findings. In this study bepridil, verapamil, nifedipine, and nisoldipine were found to have no influence on the rate of rat heart myosin adenosine triphosphatase or the calcium dependence of myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase. None of these calcium antagonists alters the rate of reaction of any of the adenine nucleotide catabolic or adenosine salvage enzymes, adenylate kinase, creatine kinase, adenosine kinase, adenosine deaminase, or 5' nucleotidase, in extracts of rat heart. All four compounds, however, reduced, apparently in a non-specific manner, the rate of uptake of adenosine by myocytes isolated from rat heart. It is concluded that calcium antagonists may, through intercalation with the sarcolemmal membrane, inhibit efflux of adenosine formed by catabolism of adenine nucleotides in ischaemic myocytes. This might offer therapeutic advantage since the intracellular concentration of adenosine would thereby be increased, allowing an increased rate of incorporation of adenosine into the adenosine triphosphate pool in reoxygenated myocardium.

During muscular fatigue two metabolites, hydrogen ions (H+) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), increase in concentration. The effect of increase in [H+] has been modeled mathematically for a system containing creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3), and the appropriate concentrations of their substrates. Assuming that no other equilibrium reactions are involved, the result of acidification should be a useful increase in the ratio [ATP]/[ADP]. It is also shown by a reanalysis of earlier 31P NMR studies that the observed combination of increased [H+] and increased [Pi] leads to an increase in the monobasic phosphate concentration [Pi-] that is inversely proportional to the force of contraction. This suggests that Pi- may be a direct inhibitor of the actomyosin ATPase system.

Experiments on rats and rabbits using models of arrhythmias induced by vasopressin, epinephrine, strophanthin, and CaCl2 showed that antioxidants derived from 1,4-dihydropyridines, dibunol, and alpha-tocopherol possessed antiarrhythmic effects. Administration of these antioxidants decreased the occurrence of extrasystoles, disturbances of atrioventricular conductivity and ventricular fibrillation. These drugs also prevented changes in membrane phospholipid composition, inhibited activation of peroxidation, decreased phospholipase activity, prevented a decrease of Ca2+ ATPase and Ca2+ binding and uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum, and increased sarcolemmal Na+, K+-ATPase, sarcoplasmic reticulum creatine phosphokinase.

The relationships between pHi (intracellular pH) and phosphate compounds were evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in normo-, hypo-, and hypercapnia, obtained by changing fractional inspired concentration of CO2 in dogs anesthetized with 0.75% isoflurane and 66% N2O. Phosphocreatine (PCr) fell by 2.02 mM and Pi (inorganic phosphate) rose by 1.92 mM due to pHi shift from 7.10 to 6.83 during hypercapnia. The stoichiometric coefficient was 1.05 (r2 = 0.78) on log PCr/Cr against pHi, showing minimum change of ADP/ATP and equilibrium of creatine kinase in the pH range of 6.7 to 7.25. [ADP] varied from 21.6 +/- 4.1 microM in control (pHi = 7.10) to 26.8 +/- 6.3 microM in hypercapnia (pHi = 6.83) and 24.0 +/- 6.8 microM in hypocapnia (pHi = 7.17). ATP/ADP X Pi decreased from 66.4 +/- 17.1 mM-1 during normocapnia to 25.8 +/- 6.3 mM-1 in hypercapnia. The ADP values are near the in vitro Km; thus ADP is the main controller. The velocity of oxidative metabolism (V) in relation to its maximum (Vmax) as calculated by a steady-state Michaelis-Menten formulation is approximately 50% in normocapnia. In acidosis (pH 6.7) and alkalosis (pH 7.25), V/Vmax is 10% higher than the normocapnic brain. This increase of V/Vmax is required to maintain cellular homeostasis of energy metabolism in the face of either inhibition at extremes of pH or higher ATPase activity.

31P-NMR studies were performed in isolated perfused striated and smooth muscles. Important qualitative and quantitative differences were found in resting muscles. In resting fast-twitch skeletal muscle the chemical potential of ATP obtained from the measured intracellular pH, ATP and inorganic phosphate concentrations and from the ADP concentrations calculated from the position of the creatine kinase equilibrium was -72 kJ/mol ATP. This high value was the result of a very low free ADP and inorganic phosphate content. In resting slow-twitch skeletal muscle, in smooth muscle, and in cardiac muscle at low work rates (literature data), the chemical potential of ATP was lower (approximately -50 to -60 kJ/mol), the difference being primarily due to a much higher inorganic phosphate content (especially in slow-twitch and smooth muscle) and/or a higher ADP concentration (especially in cardiac muscle). Upon stimulation or, for the heart, working at higher work rates, the pattern of chemical changes of phosphocreatine, creatine and inorganic phosphate was the same for all types of muscle. The phosphocreatine levels decreased and the inorganic phosphate concentration increased stoichiometrically without a change in the ATP content so long as the phosphocreatine pool was not totally depleted (greater than or equal to 10%). The rate and extent of these chemical changes was dependent on the inherent ATPase and ATP synthesis rates. The exception was in the intracellular pH changes. In fast-twitch and smooth muscle, pH decreased with contractile activity, as expected from the large glycolytic capacity. However, an alkalinization was observed in slow-twitch skeletal muscle and this difference was attributed to the uptake of H+ during the net hydrolysis of phosphocreatine to creatine plus inorganic phosphate, and to the absence of significant lactate production. The pH of cardiac muscle does not appear to change with work load. The common bioenergetic pattern in all types of muscles is consistent with a graded increase in ADP concentration (from below to well above the apparent Km for nucleotide translocase ANT) with increasing work as a regulator of mitochondrial respiration. In fast-twitch muscle these changes are also accompanied by large changes in inorganic phosphate concentration (3-30 mM) which may also play a role in metabolic regulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Creatine kinase (CK, EC 2.7.3.2) has recently been identified as the intermediate isoelectric point species (pl 6.5-6.8) of the Mr 40,000-43,000 nonreceptor, peripheral v-proteins in Torpedo marmorata acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes (Barrantes, F. J., G. Mieskes, and T. Wallimann, 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 80: 5440-5444). In the present study, this finding is substantiated at the cellular and subcellular level of the T. marmorata electric organ by immunofluorescence and by protein A-gold labeling of either ultrathin cryosections of electrocytes or purified receptor-membrane vesicles that use subunit-specific anti-chicken creatine kinase antibodies. The muscle form of the kinase, on the one hand, is present throughout the entire T. marmorata electrocyte except in the nuclei. The brain form of the kinase, on the other hand, is predominantly located on the ventral, innervated face of the electrocyte, where it is closely associated with both surfaces of the postsynaptic membrane, and secondarily in the synaptic vesicles at the presynaptic terminal. Labeling of the noninnervated dorsal membrane is observed at the invaginated sac system. In the case of purified acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes, antibodies specific for chicken B-CK label only one face of the isolated vesicles. No immunoreaction is observed with anti-chicken M-CK antibodies. A discussion follows on the possible implications of these localizations of creatine kinase in connection with the function of the acetylcholine receptor at the postsynaptic membrane, the Na/K ATPase at the dorsal electrocyte membrane, and the ATP-dependent transmitter release at the nerve ending.

The rat perineal levator ani (LA) and bulbocavernosus (BC) muscles are homogeneously type 2B fibers as determined by Ca, Mg-ATPase activity. The LA and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles contain similar quantities of creatine kinase and several glycolytic enzymes despite significant differences in fiber composition. The LA muscles synthesizes and accumulates only the fast isoforms of protein C, myosin heavy chain and myosin light chains.
