Various parameters of anion and cation transport were measured in the cerebral cortex of neonatal (3-day-old) and adult rats following acute and chronic treatment with phenytoin (PHT). Acutely, PHT significantly inhibited the enzyme Na+, K+-ATPase in both neonatal and adult rats. This effect was accompanied by a significant increase in cerebral cortical Na+ content and a decrease in K+ content only in neonatal animals. Chronic treatment (two and four times a day for 7 days) of adult rats with PHT significantly reduced Na+ content without affecting whole homogenate Na+, K+-ATPase activity. The activity of this enzyme was markedly increased in the myelin- (glial product) and slightly decreased in the synaptosomal- (neuronal) fractions following chronic (four times a day for 7 days) PHT treatment. These results suggest that PHT differentially affects the two forms (neuronal and glial) of the enzyme Na+, K+-ATPase. The possible relevance of this hypothesis in relationship to the anticonvulsant and excitatory properties of PHT is discussed. Chronic (two and four times a day for 7 days) PHT treatment increased both DNA content and activity of the glial marker enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Activity of the mitochondrial enzyme HCO3- -ATPase was also increased following chronic PHT treatment. These two enzymes are intimately involved in the regulation of HCO3- -Cl- transport across glial cell and mitochondrial membranes, and these results suggest that PHT is able to affect beneficially glial regulatory processes. The ability to enhance glial regulation of anions and cations in extracellular fluid provides new and important insights into the mechanism of the anticonvulsant action of PHT.

The formation of aqueous humour by the ciliary body is a complex process. Active transport of solutes by the ciliary process epithelium is an energy-dependent mechanism that selectively transports substances against an electrochemical gradient across the cell membranes. Water passively follows the active solute transport. In addition to these active transport processes, ultrafiltration contributes to the formation of aqueous humour. The ciliary epithelium contains enzyme systems that function in the production of aqueous humour. The enzymes sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase [(Na+:K+)ATPase] and carbonic anhydrase participate in the active transport across this epithelium. Inhibition of these enzymes lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) by decreasing aqueous humour production. the ciliary epithelium contains both alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors. Electrophysiologic studies on the isolated iris-ciliary body (I-CB) preparation provide a means to study direct effects of the adrenergic agents on transepithelial properties of the ciliary epithelium. This paper will discuss the enzymatic and adrenergic properties of the ciliary epithelium as they relate to active transport and thereby aqueous humour production.

To study the mechanism responsible for pancreatic NaHCO3 secretion, the inhibitor NN'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) was administered to six secretin-infused, anaesthetized pigs. Pancreatic juice was collected from a catheter in the main pancreatic duct. Secretion rate was measured at several arterial pH values in each animal, both before and after DCCD. 15 (14-30) mumol kg-1 body wt DCCD, intra-arterially, reduced pancreatic NaHCO3 secretion from 296 (234-398) to 181 (134-237) mumol min-1 at arterial pH 7.43 (7.42-7.47). Similar fractional reductions of secretion occurred at lower arterial pH. Pancreatic tissue ATP concentration, 1.8 (1.4-2.0) mumol g-1 wet wt, was not changed by DCCD. DCCD, less than or equal to 10(-4) mol l-1, did not change Na,K-ATPase nor carbonic anhydrase activities in separate in vitro assay systems. It is concluded that DCCD reduced pancreatic NaHCO3 secretion by a mechanism not involving ATP depletion nor inhibition of Na,K-ATPase nor carbonic anhydrase activities in pancreatic cells. Because DCCD inhibits proton pumps, DCCD may have reduced NaHCO3 secretion through interfering with a proton pump involved in extruding H+ from HCO-3 secreting cells to interstitial fluid in the pancreas.

To study whether a proton pump is an integral part of the mechanism responsible for secretin-dependent biliary secretion of HCO-3 ions, the proton pump inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) was systemically administered to six anesthetized, secretin-infused pigs. Because biliary HCO-3 secretion varies with arterial pH, secretion rate was measured at several different arterial pH values, before and after DCCD (25 mumol/kg). At arterial pH 7.45, bile flow was 2.1 (1.6-2.9) ml/min, and HCO-3 secretion was 224 (157-311) mumol/min. DCCD reduced bile flow and HCO-3 secretion by 30% and 40%, respectively, independent of arterial pH. In contrast, bile acid secretion, 46 (41-59) mumol/min, was not changed by DCCD. The hepatic adenosine triphosphatase (ATP) level, 2.0 (1.8-2.1) mumol/g wet tissue, was not changed by DCCD. DCCD (10(-4) mol/l) affected neither Na,K-ATPase nor carbonic anhydrase activities in separate in vitro assay systems. The reduction in biliary HCO-3 secretion induced by the proton pump inhibitor DCCD may indicate that a proton pump is integrated into the mechanism responsible for secretin-dependent biliary secretion of HCO-3.

The possibility of a specific CO2 concentrating mechanism present in chloroplasts of C3 plants is analyzed. Proton gradient between thylakoids and the stroma is assumed to be the driving force for this process. The possible CO2 concentrating mechanisms are: 1. HCO3- permeation into thylakoids, its dehydration there and diffusion of CO2 formed into the stroma; 2. Dehydration of HCO3- present in the stroma at the thylakoid surface in a reaction with H+ leaving the thylakoids through: a) channels of membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase; b) channels of the ATPase complex. A system of equations describing CO3- and CO2 diffusion as well as CO2 assimilation and formation was used. The increase in photosynthesis rate, upon CO2 diffusion being facilitated in the presence of carbonic anhydrase, and due to the action of CO2 concentrating mechanisms, was numerically estimated. The CO2 concentrating mechanism was shown to function effectively only with the entire chloroplast being the CO2 concentrating zone. This is the case when the bulk of stromal carbonic anhydrase is localized near the inner chloroplast envelope. The existence of CO2 concentrating mechanisms around a single granum or around thylakoids is hardly possible. Approaches enabling the detection of similar concentrating mechanisms are discussed.

Study of the products secreted by pancreatic ductal cells and analysis of the mechanisms involved in the discharge of these products have been limited by a lack of in vitro models available to experimentally approach this problem. To this aim, this investigation has been designed to determine if a human pancreatic carcinoma cell line of ductal origin (PANC-1) has maintained some of the differentiated characteristics of normal mammalian pancreatic ductal epithelium. Morphological and immunocytochemical studies indicated that, similar to isolated rat pancreatic ducts, the PANC-1 cell line contained (a) intermediate filaments of the epithelial class, (b) a basolateral plasma membrane localization of Na+, K+-ATPase, (c) complete tight junctions based on freeze-fracture analysis, (d) a cuboidal morphology when grown on Type I collagen-coated nitrocellulose filters or isolated amnion basement membrane, and (e) normal ductal epithelial ultrastructural features. Biochemical analysis indicated that, also similar to isolated rat and human pancreatic ducts, the PANC-1 cell line contained (a) gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, (b) carbonic anhydrase, and (c) Na+, K+-ATPase based on [3H]ouabain binding assays. Comparative studies with other transformed lines indicated that PANC-1 cells have similarities to ductal lines such as MDCK cells but are markedly different from mesenchymally derived lines such as L cells. In addition, as with isolated rat and human ducts, PANC-1 cells synthesize and secrete sulfated proteins with a MW range of approximately 180K to 1 million daltons, with the predominant species being 660K daltons as indicated by gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These results indicate that the PANC-1 cell line has maintained at least some of the differentiated characteristics of normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells and may be a useful system for study of ductal secretory products as well as the mechanisms involved in the discharge of these products.

Intravenous administration of radiographic contrast media (CM) significantly decreases cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production as measured by negative pressure collection from a lateral ventricle of the anesthetized dog. This effect has been shown with the conventional ionic CM, sodium diatrizoate, and is now reported for the new nonionic agent, iohexol. Continuous infusion of either agent maintains the decrease. The magnitude of the CM-induced decreased CSF production is proportional to the dose in the range of 1 to 4 ml/kg. This action of CM cannot be explained by an osmotic mechanism. Two enzymes involved in the elaboration of CSF, carbonic anhydrase and sodium, potassium-adenosine triphosphatase, are not inhibited by sodium diatrizoate sufficiently in vitro to explain this action of CM. These results indicate a pharmacological action by i.v. CM that may require special attention when reduced CSF production would be deleterious.

In previous studies, Mg2+ -dependent, HCO3- -activated ATPase in the brush border and carbonic anhydrase in the cytoplasm of rat duodenal and jejunal mucosa decreased after adrenalectomy. Both enzyme activities increased to near normal levels 4 h after i.p. injection of aldosterone (40 micrograms/kg). These results suggest the possibility that both enzymes in the small intestinal mucosa may be mediators of the action of aldosterone. In the present studies, therefore, the effects of actinomycin D (500 micrograms/kg, i.p.), spironolactone (50 mg/kg, s.c.) and potassium canrenoate (50 mg/kg, s.c.) on aldosterone-induced activation of both enzymes in the upper small intestinal mucosa from adrenalectomized rats were examined to clarify the mechanism of action of aldosterone in enzyme levels. Actinomycin D inhibited carbonic anhydrase activity in small intestinal mucosa from normal rats 4 h after i.p. injection but had no effect on ATPase activity, while two other drugs had no effect on either enzyme activity in normal rats up to 4 h later. Pretreatment with these 3 drugs 1 h before aldosterone administration (40 micrograms/kg, i.p.) to adrenalectomized rats blocked the aldosterone-induced activation of ATPase and carbonic anhydrase in the upper small intestine. On the other hand, adrenalectomy and administration of aldosterone and its antagonists, alone or in combination, had no effect on kidney enzyme activities. These results confirm that Mg2+ -HCO3- -ATPase and carbonic anhydrase are mediators of the action of aldosterone in the upper small intestinal mucosa.

To study HCO3- secretion in rat distal colon, we utilized a technique that permits control of electrical and chemical transepithelial gradients. With symmetrical solutions (pH 7.4, [HCO3-] 25 mM, and CO2 tension 40 mmHg) bathing both tissue surfaces and under short-circuit conditions, HCO3- secretion remained stable for greater than 4 h at 1 mueq. h-1.cm-2. As the mucosal solution was alkalinized, the serosal solution was acidified at 3.1 mueq.h-1.cm-2. Ninety-four percent of serosal acidification was accounted for by the rate of metabolic lactic acid generation and transepithelial HCO3- secretion. Clamping transepithelial voltage reversibly affected net HCO3- secretion, and a linear relationship existed between clamped mucosal voltage and net HCO3- flux (r = 0.99); mucosal voltage of -68 mV completely inhibited net secretion. The apparent permeability coefficient of the colon to HCO3- is 2.8 X 10(-6) cm/s. One millimolar ouabain completely inhibited net HCO3- secretion. Acetazolamide (10(-4) M) inhibited secretion by approximately 50%, whereas a 10(-3) M concentration inhibited secretion by 90%. These data demonstrate that net colonic HCO3- secretion can be measured without imposed electrical and chemical gradients and that this flux is voltage sensitive and depends on carbonic anhydrase and Na+-K+-ATPase activities.

Isolated guinea pig distal colons secreted acid into the mucosal bathing solution at a rate of 1.0-1.5 mumol X cm-2 X h-1 when the preparations were mounted in Ussing chambers and bathed with HCO3(-)-CO2-free solution. The rates of the acidification and alkalinization of the solutions were measured by a pH stat system or calculated from changes in the pH of the solution. The acid secretion was localized in the middle and distal parts of the colon but absent in the proximal part of the colon and the cecum. The mucosal acidification was accompanied by serosal alkalinization, the rate of the latter being approximately 60% of the former. A carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, methazolamide (10(-4) M), reduced both the mucosal acidification and serosal alkalinization rates by a similar magnitude. The mucosal acidification was completely abolished by mucosal K+-free conditions but unaffected by mucosal Na+-free conditions. Ouabain added to the mucosal solution promptly inhibited the acid secretion. Dose dependency of the inhibition conformed to the Michaelis-Menten equation with a half-maximal effect at 4 X 10(-6) M. When the pH of the mucosal solution was reduced to 4.3, the rate of the mucosal acidification remained essentially the same as that at pH = 7.4. Vanadate (10(-4) M) added to both the mucosal and serosal solutions significantly reduced the mucosal acidification rate. These results suggest that CO2 derived from the epithelial metabolism is hydrated by carbonic anhydrase in the cell and released H+ enters the mucosal solution while HCO3- enters the serosal solution. H+ exit across the mucosal membrane may be mediated by H+-ATPase that is sensitive to ouabain.
