Cardiac tissue obtained by left-ventricular endomyocardial biopsy from patients with valvular heart-disease was assayed for marker enzyme activities of subcellular organelles and these were correlated with left ventricular function as assessed by haemodynamic studies. In patients with poor left ventricular function, calcium-dependent adenosine-triphosphatase (A.T.P.ase) activity, predominantly localised to the myofibrils, was strikingly reduced. Activity of lactate dehydrongenase, a cytosol enzyme, was significantly increased in tissue from patients with poor left ventricular function. The activity of enzymes associated with sarcolemma (5'-nucleotidase), mitochondria (glutamate dehydrogenase and monoamine oxidase), microsomes (neutral alpha-glucosidase), and lysosomes (acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase) was no different in patients with good or poor left ventricular function. It is suggested that reduced myofibrillary A.T.P.ase concentration is the biochemical basis for the impaired ventricular function.

The effects of deoxycholate, taurocholate and cholate on transport and mucosal ATPase activity have been investigated in the rat jejunum in vivo using closed-loop and perfusion techniques. In the closed-loops, 5 mM deoxycholate selectively inactivated (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, and net secretion of Na+ induced by 2.5 mM deoxycholate was due to reduced lumen to plasma flux of the ion; deoxycholate (2.5 mM) produced marked inhibition of 3-0-methylglucose transport. Luminal disappearance rates of deoxycholate (60.5 plus or minus 2.9% per g wet st of gut) greatly exceeded those of taurocholate (4.3 plus or minus 1.0). In the perfusion studies 1 mM deoxycholate induced net secretion of water, Na+ and C1-, and inhibited active glucose transport; concomitantly "total" ATPase, (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, and Mg-2+-ATPase were inhibited. At higher concentrations (5 mM) deoxycholate stimulated Mg-2+-ATPase activity. Taurocholate and cholate at 1mM had no effect on transport of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Mucosal lactase, sucrase and maltase activities were not affected by 1 mM deoxycholate, taurocholate or cholate. These results suggest that deoxycholate inhibits sodium-coupled glucose transport by inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase at the lateral and basal membranes of the epithelial cell, rather than from an effect at the brush-border membrane level.

Mucosal response of alkaline phosphatase, ATPase and disaccharidase (lactase, maltase and trehalase) activities to sex hormones were studied by comparing male and female rats and castrated males and by injecting testosterone into castrated males. Alkaline phosphatase showed a very steep gradient in the small intestine from the oral to the aboral end, whereas ATPase activity in the ileum was still about 50% of that in the duodenum. Both enzymes showed only minor sex variations and weal response to castration. Lactase and maltase had peak activities in the jejunum, but trehalase activity was nearly equally high in the duodenal mucosa as in the jejunum. Jejunal lactase activity was about 50% lower in female than in male rats and castration decreased activity in males to the same low level as found in females. The administration of testosterone to castrated male rats did not enhance activity. Maltase activity showed similar sex variation, although castration was not able to decrease activity during the test period. Trehalase activity was lower in female than in male rats. The administration of testosterone enhance activity in castrated males.

Various enzyme activities involved in the active transport system, glycolysis, and digestion were assayed in various parts of the gastrointestinal tracts of germfree, conventional, and gnotobiotic rats associated with indigenous bacteria. The activity levels of alkaline phosphatase, glucose 6-phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, and disaccharidases in the upper small intestine were highest in all parts of the gastrointestinal tracts of various kinds of gnotobiotic, conventional, and germfree rats. Alkaline phosphatase, glucose 6-phosphatase, and adenosine triphosphatase activities in the upper small intestine of germfree rats were, respectively, 2.3-, 2.9-, and 1.7-fold higher than those in conventional rats. Similar to the results of these enzymes, sucrase, maltase, trehalase, and lactase activities in the upper small intestine of germfree rats were, respectively, 1.6-, 1.5-, 2.3-, and 1.8-fold higher than those in conventional rats. In various gnotobiotic rats, enzyme activity levels were intermediate between those in germfree and conventional rats. These findings suggest that those enzymatic activities are strongly depressed by the association with the indigenous microorganisms in the epithelial mucosa of the upper small intestine of rats. The levels of pyruvate kinase, hexokinase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities were highest, respectively, in the stomach, cecum, and the upper small intestine and cecum in all parts of the gastrointestinal tracts in various kinds of gnotobiotic, conventional, and germfree rats. It was also shown that six kinds of gastrointestinal bacteria, including lactobacilli, significantly depressed the enzyme activity levels to levels between those of the germfree and conventional rats in the upper small intestine of gnotobiotic rats.

Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were isolated from guinea pig myocardium by differential pelleting. The mitochondrial fraction was subjected to analytical subfractionation by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and the gradient fractions assayed for marker enzymes for the various mitochondrial compartments, viz outer membrane (monoamine oxidase), intermembranous space (adenylate kinase), inner membrane (Mg2+-dependent ATPase and cytochrome c oxidase) and mitochondrial matrix (malate dehydrogenase), and for creatine kinase. Both creatine kinase and adenylate kinase were released by suspending the mitochondria in 50 mmol . litre-1 sodium phosphate buffer. Sonication or disruption with the detergent, digitonin released the adenylate kinase but the creatine kinase remained associated with the inner membranes. Subsequent salt treatment desorbed the creatine kinase from these membranes. It is concluded that creatine kinase is located to the outer aspect of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Analytical subfractionation of the microsomal fraction clearly resolved markers for the sarcolemma (5'-nucleotidase), outer mitochondrial membrane (monoamine oxidase) and endoplasmic reticulum (neutral alpha-glucosidase and RNA). Creatine kinase was localised in the endoplasmic reticulum particularly the smooth membranes.

Renal epithelial function, proton flux and sodium stimulated proton flux, was observed in vesicles isolated from the brush border of the proximal tubule of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) during migration. Brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) were isolated from the body kidney of Sockeye Salmon using aggregation/differential centrifugation techniques. Vesicle purity was tested using a series of epithelial and basal lateral markers including alkaline phosphatase, maltase, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGTP), Mg(2+)-activated ATP-ase, Na(+)+K(+)-activated ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase and the lysosomal marker acid phosphatase. An enrichment/depletion factor for each marker was determined by comparison of purified BBMV with kidney homogenate. Vesicles exhibit an enrichment factor for alkaline phosphatase, GGTP, maltase, Mg(2+)-activated ATP-ase, Na(+)+K(+)-activated ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase. A depletion factor was observed for acid phosphatase. Vesicle integrity was tested by measuring the time course of proton flux in the presence of a pH gradient. Amiloride sensitive sodium stimulated proton flux was observed in these vesicles. The presence of sodium caused a saturable increase in the rate of proton flux, indicating the activity of a sodium/proton antiport protein in BBMV.

The common hookworm (Ancylostoma ceylanicum) infection of humans was studied in golden hamsters model system. Significant biochemical modulations were observed in hamster jejunal brush border membrane (BBM), the primary site of infection. Analysis of BBM at the peak of infection (3-weeks) revealed a marked decrease in the activities of sucrase, lactase and maltase, while activities of alkaline phosphatase, (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were increased. Kinetic studies conducted with maltase, a superficially localised enzyme of jejunal BBM, revealed loss of enzyme active site during the infection. Among other constituents, the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly decreased with slight increase in phospholipid content in the infected animals. The hookworm infection also caused a decline in total hexose content indicating an altered membrane glycocalyx. Conversely, there was significant enhancement of hydroxyproline and sialic acid contents. SDS-PAGE analysis showed an enhancement in both low and high molecular weight proteins in jejunal BBM preparations of the infected group. Gel electrophoresis of glycoproteins further revealed the appearance of two additional peaks in the low molecular weight region and concomitant disappearance of a peak in the high molecular weight region. These results strongly support the view that the hookworm infection causes severe damage not to the site of attachment alone but also to the entire cell lining of the jejunum and therefore could influence overall digestion and absorption.

Oral administration of the antiulcerogenic drug, cimetidine, was studied on kidney-bound hydrolytic enzymes at three different dose levels (30 mg, 100 mg, and 2000 mg/kg body weight) and for single administration for 2 and 24 h, and daily administration for 15 days in mice. It significantly inhibited Na+, K(+)-ATPase, Mg(2+)-ATPase, and Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase in the isolated basolateral membrane (BLM). Brush-border-membrane-(BBM)-associated enzymes, sucrase, lactase, maltase, leucine aminopeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase also showed a marked reduction. Substrate saturation kinetics revealed the nature of inhibition was of mixed type in the case of sucrase, lactase, maltase, and alkaline phosphatase (Km was increased, while Vmax decreased), whereas it was of non-competitive type for leucine aminopeptidase (Km was unchanged, while Vmax decreased). In vitro addition of cimetidine (5-20 mM) to the BBM also inhibited the enzyme activity. Dixon plot produced the inhibition constant (Ki) for cimetidine in the case of maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and leucine aminopeptidase in the order of 14.83, 32.83 and 11.5 mM, respectively. Analysis of lipids revealed a significant reduction in BBM-associated phospholipid and phospholipid/cholesterol molar ratio, while the neutral lipid fraction, i.e., cholesterol and triglycerides were not altered. Free fatty acid exhibited an increase after drug treatment, which was significant at higher dose after 24 h of single and 15 days of daily treatment. BLM-associated lipids did not exhibit any significant change. Cimetidine-induced depression in renal BLM- and BBM-associated disaccharidases and ATPases, at least at the higher dose level, may have serious consequences in the absorption of end-product nutrients.

A method is described for simultaneous preparation of brush-border and basolateral sea bass enterocyte membranes using simple differential centrifugation and discontinuous sucrose gradient density centrifugation techniques. Basolateral membranes were purified with a Na+/K(+)-ATPase yield of about 11% of the original activity, with an enrichment factor of 12. The yield of maltase-glucoamylase, a specific marker of brush-border membranes, was also about 11% of the original activity, with 15-fold enrichment. The characteristics of these membrane preparations were determined. Electron microscopy analysis showed that these two membrane preparations were uniform in size and vesicular in nature. Orientation studies revealed that the luminal membrane vesicles were right-side out and 43% of the antiluminal membrane vesicles were sealed inside out. Investigation of D-glucose and L-leucine uptake showed that these two plasma membrane preparations retained their transport properties.

The antiulcerogenic drug ranitidine, given orally to mice, brought about reductions of kidney-bound hydrolytic enzymes at three different dose levels, viz. 10 mg, 100 mg, and 1000 mg/kg body weight, and for three different time points (single administration for 2 h and 24 h, and daily administration for 15 days). The activities of Na+, K(+)-ATPase, Ca2(+)-ATPase, and Mg2(+)-ATPase (marker enzymes of basolateral membranes) were reduced, and these reductions were significant at higher doses and after a 24-h single treatment or 15 days' daily treatment. Maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and leucine aminopeptidase (marker enzymes of brush border membrane [BBM]) activities were significantly inhibited after ranitidine treatment. Kinetic analysis of BBM-associated enzymes indicated that ranitidine decreased the maximum of apparent initial enzyme velocity (Vmax) of maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and leucine aminopeptidase. The substrate affinity constant (Km) was decreased in the case of alkaline phosphatase and maltase, while it was not altered in the case of leucine aminopeptidase. In vitro addition of ranitidine to renal BBM also produced significant inhibition of these enzymes, the inhibition constants (Ki) for maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and leucine aminopeptidase being 7.5, 15.5, and 3.5 mM, respectively. Membrane-bound lipid estimation showed a significant increase in phospholipids, triglycerides, and free fatty acids. Cholesterol, however, was decreased in both renal basolateral and brush border membranes.
