The effects of repeated intraperitoneal administration of aflatoxin B1 on the peripheral and central nervous systems of rats were investigated. Biochemical markers of neurotoxicity were monitored in nervous tissues following aflatoxin B1 dosage and after the cessation of aflatoxin B1 administration. Aflatoxin B1 increased the activities of beta-glucuronidase and beta-galactosidase in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Repeated exposure of rats to aflatoxin B1 also activated Na+ K+-ATPase and inhibited Mg2+-ATPase. Nervous tissue levels of DNA and total protein increased while the concentrations of RNA and phospholipid were depressed by aflatoxin B1. The alterations in these parameters were specific for each of the tissues examined during the recovery of the rats. The findings indicate that the repeated administration of aflatoxin B1 to rats results in degeneration in the central and peripheral nervous systems that may be related to the overt toxicity observed following aflatoxin administration.

The subcellular distribution of cytochrome b and ubiquinone in resting human neutrophils was investigated by rate zonal sedimentation of postnuclear supernatants on continuous sucrose gradients. Both cytochrome b and ubiquinone were mainly localized in small organelles, tertiary granules, that were resolved from the specific and azurophilic granules as well as from the cell membrane fraction. This cytochrome b- and ubiquinone-rich granule was shown to contain dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)-sensitive, Mg2+-dependent ATPase as well as low amounts, less than a third, of the acid hydrolases beta-glucuronidase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase. Cytochrome b was also found in smaller proportions in plasma membranes and specific granules. A significant proportion of the ubiquinone was located in the region of the gradients where specific granules and mitochondria sedimented. However, quantitative measurements of oligomycin-sensitive ATPase indicated that this second localization of ubiquinone could not be entirely attributed to mitochondrial contamination. Plasma membrane contained small amounts of ubiquinone. In addition, the existence and location of a putative proton pump ATPase were also investigated. The ATPase was mainly located in the plasma membrane and in the upper half of the gradients (tertiary and specific granules), with the highest specific activity occurring in the tertiary granules. This activity was inhibited by 100 microM DCCD. Furthermore, ATP-dependent uptake of [14C]methylamine by tertiary and specific granules was observed. These results suggest that the DCCD-sensitive ATPase may function as a proton pump. DCCD inhibited the release of enzymes from specific granules that occurred when human neutrophils were activated by phorbol myristate acetate. However, higher concentrations of DCCD were required to achieve the same degree of inhibition of O2 uptake (I50 of 0.4 mM for secretion versus 1 mM for O2 uptake). These results suggest that specific granules do not play a crucial role in oxygen metabolism.

We studied the effects of running-training, heavy exercise and termination of training on the heart weight, the ratio heart to body weight and the cardiac muscle activities of actomyosin ATPase, citrate synthase, succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase, malate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase and beta-glucuronidase with adult male NMRI-mice. Stable hypertrophy (6-7%), estimated by the ratio heart or ventricle weight to body weight, was achieved by 28 exercises and it was dependent on the running speed (20 vs. 25 m X min-1). The withdrawal of training for 5-61 days did not permanently decrease the heart weight or the heart to body weight ratio to the level of sedentary controls. The activity of enzymes of energy metabolism or actomyosin ATPase were not affected by training, heavy exercise or terminated training. beta-glucuronidase activity slightly (20-25%) increased in the trained animals and remained at a higher level during the period of terminated training. The results suggest that the capacity for aerobic metabolism of normal mice heart is sufficient to meet the enhanced demand for ATP imposed by running-training and that the heart enlargement occurs in equal proportions with the enzymatic potential of the cardiac tissue.

Receptor-ligand interactions at the surface of the human neutrophil induce lysosomal enzyme release and the generation of O2.-, responses which are anteceded by changes in the membrane potential (delta psi) as measured by [3H]-triphenylmethylphosphonium ion distribution. Surface stimuli (immune complexes, concanavalin A) initiated a rapid (less than 10 s) hyperpolarization response by both normal and cytochalasin B-treated cells. Replacement of extracellular Na+ with either K+ or choline depressed O2.- generation and lysosomal enzyme release in neutrophils exposed to concanavalin A or immune complexes. Replacement of Na+ with K+ led to a substantial fall in resting membrane potential, whereas replacement of Na+ with choline did not. Thus, depression of O2.- generation and lysosomal enzyme release in Na+-free medium were specifically due to a lack of extracellular Na+ and not to depolarization of the membrane. Although it has been shown that extracellular Na+, and possibly an influx of Na+, is required for optimal neutrophil function, neither depolarization nor Na+ influx per se was sufficient to activate fully these cells, since the Na+ ionophore, monensin, was not an effective stimulus for beta-glucuronidase release or O2.- generation. The hyperpolarization response to neutrophils exposed to immune complexes and to concanavalin A was greatly diminished in both high [K+] and [choline] buffers. Thus, extracellular Na+ was required for an optimal membrane potential response to receptor-ligand interaction. Since O2.- generation and lysosomal enzyme release in response to the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, were also reduced in the absence of extracellular Na+, it was concluded that extracellular Na+ was also required after induction of Ca2+ fluxes. Ouabain (1 mM) had no effect on O2.- generation, lysosomal enzyme release or the hyperpolarization response to immune complexes, indicating that the hyperpolarization observed on stimulation cannot be due to the action of the electrogenic pump, (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. The experiments indicate that extracellular Na+ is required (1) in the delta psi response triggered by receptor-ligand interaction, and (2) at a step(s) subsequent to Ca2+ fluxes and common to O2.- generation and lysosomal enzyme release.

A total of 19 cases with bone tumors, including six osteosarcomas. three giant cell tumors of bone, one malignant fibrous histiocytoma, four nonossifying fibromas, four chondromas and one chondrosarcoma, were examined as to enzyme histochemistry; the enzymes consisted of alkaline phosphatase (ALPase), acid phosphatase (ACPase), nonspecific esterase (NSE), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), 5'-nucleotidase (5'-Nucl) and beta-glucuronidase (beta-Gl). Osteosarcoma was strongly positive for ALPase followed by 5'-Nucl. Giant cell tumor, malignant fibrous histiocytoma and nonossifying fibroma showed enzyme histochemistry similar to each other: multinucleated giant cells and round cells in these tumors were strongly positive for ACPase, NSE, ATPase and 5'-Nucl simulating osteoclasts and histiocytes, whereas spindle cells were positive for ATPase and 5'-Nucl in their cytoplasm and weakly positive for ACPase. Chondroma and chondrosarcoma were focally positive for ACPase and NSE; the ACPase was sensitive to tartaric acid treatment. These observations showed that ALPase activity is very characteristic to osteosarcoma, and is useful for its diagnosis. From enzyme histochemistry, giant cell tumor, malignant fibrous histiocytoma and nonossifying fibroma can be regarded as a histiocyte-derived tumor of bone in contrast to osteosarcoma and cartilaginous tumors.

Human thymuses, ranging in age from newborn to 62 years old, were studied enzyme histochemically. The thymic epithelial cells covering cortical surface and bordering vascular areas in the medulla were positive for 5'-nucleotidase, but not for other enzymes. The thymic epithelial cells composing Hassall's corpuscles were positive for acid phosphatase, esterases, beta-glucuronidase, and alkaline phosphatase, regardless of age, but totally negative for 5'-nucleotidase and ATPase. All enzymes examined except for beta-glucuronidase were demonstrated in some of the thymic epithelial cells scattered in the medulla, although the pattern of distribution and the degree of positivity were different by enzymes. These findings suggest that the thymic epithelial cells are composed of functionally heterogenous subpopulations. Acid phosphatase was demonstrated in thymocytes in both cortex and medulla, but 5'-nucleotidase and ATPase were observed in some thymocytes in the medulla of young thymus.

In one experiment Swiss mice were maintained on a 16 or 23% fat diet (laboratory chow with added fat, principally corn oil) or on laboratory chow alone (5.5% fat). In another experiment C57BL/1 mice were given a 23% fat diet (as above) or a low-fat diet (67% laboratory chow, 1.9% corn oil, and 31% starch; 5.5% fat). Colon mucosal samples were analyzed for several enzyme activities. In Swiss mice the analyses revealed the following: 1) Ouabain-insensitive ATPase was unaltered in male mice, but it rose significantly in females fed a high-fat diet (this effect was seen when a resuspended high-speed pellet was analyzed but not seen with the initial homogenate); 2) 5'-nucleotidase activity showed a significant stepwise increase with dietary fat; 3) nonspecific esterase activity tended to rise with a high-fat diet (not significant); 4) beta-glucuronidase levels were not altered by diet fat; and 5) ornithine decarboxylase levels were not altered by diet fat. In C57BL/1 mice analyses were done on ouabain-insensitive ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, nonspecific esterase, and beta-glucuronidase, but no diet effects were seen. Fecal reductase activity was measured with the use of 2-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(p-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride hydrate). A high-fat diet did not affect the activity in C57BL/1 mice, but it caused a significant rise in Swiss mice.

Hairless mouse epidermis was separated from the underlying dermis using a 2 h incubation in 20 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The basal epidermis, thus exposed, was then examined using scanning electron (SEM), transmission electron (TEM), and light microscopy (LM). Sheets were also stained for: (i) Langerhans cell adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), beta-glucuronidase, and la antigens; and, (ii) melanocyte 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)-oxidase. A regular distribution of protruding dendritic cells was observed superficial to the basal epidermis. These external dendritic cells were identified as Langerhans cells on the basis of subcellular morphology and distribution in the TEM. ATPase staining was Langerhans cell specific. The Langerhans cell population in hairless mouse epidermis was large, and evenly distributed in the interfollicular epidermis and the outer root sheath of degenerate hair follicles. The melanocyte population, in comparison, was negligibly small (4-5 cells per mm2).

In porcine interareolar placental epithelia, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, nonspecific esterases, cytochrome oxidase, 5-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase, adenosine triphosphatase, diaphorases (NADH, NADPH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), lactate dehydrogenase. The results show that most of the enzyme activities remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. Only G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH activities increased within the uterine epithelium and nonspecific esterase activity within uterine as well as chorionic epithelia during the 2nd half of pregnancy. Within chorionic and uterine epithelia, hydrolases but not dehydrogenases demonstrated a higher activity at the bases of chorionic villi as compared to the apices and flanks of the latter. The action and influence of the demonstrated enzymes on metabolism, energy transfer, secretory, and resorptive activities of chorionic and uterine epithelia are discussed.

The activities and subcellular distribution of the following enzymes: NADH oxidase, alkaline phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase and ATPase, were assayed in human mononuclear and polymorphonuclear leucocytes and in particular the contamination and integrity of the mitochondrial fractions were evaluated with this new separation procedure. Results show that maximal contamination was found to be that from lysosomal beta-glucuronidase especially in polymorphonuclear leucocyte mitochondria fractions. Furthermore oligomycin-sensitive ATPase data suggest that mitochondria do not decrease in number or lose their integrity to a great extent. Controversial p-nitrophenyl-phosphatase activity was also found to be present in polymorphonuclear and mononuclear leucocytes granular-soluble fractions.
