In a recent overview on stunning, Bolli listed the three pillars on which theories on stunning rest: its causation by oxygen radicals, the amplification of damage by Ca2+ overload, and the resulting excitation contraction uncoupling. Our own experiments with SOD and catalase do not convince us that stunning is caused by free radicals, because we and others were unable to show improvement. An important pathway of radical generation, i.e., xanthine oxidase, does not exist in the hearts of several families of mammals, but stunning can of course be produced in these species. We agree with Bolli that stunning represents a disturbance of electromechanical coupling, but we acknowledge the controversy that exists with regard to the subcellular seat of the defect. Our results would support hypotheses that pinpoint the defect to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. However, the possibility of multiple defects should also be considered: Our finding of altered Ca2+ ATPase expression and Kusuoka's finding of altered myofibrillar Ca2+ sensitivity are not necessarily mutually exclusive but may be complementary, or may represent different stages of ischemic damage. Our finding of decreased myosin expression may help to explain the long persistence of the contractile defect. From the available evidence, the hypothetial possibility evolves that stunning is not just an injury, but rather the unmasking of a regulatory mechanism to protect the heart against premature or further damage. The observation that coronary occlusion causes both stunning and preconditioning by a parallel, and not by a sequential, mechanism and that a multitude of genes alter their expression in order to protect the myocyte argue for a regulatory change.

Glyceraldehyde and other simple monosaccharides autoxidize under physiological conditions, forming dicarbonyl compounds and hydrogen peroxide via intermediate free radicals. These products may have deleterious effects on cell components. In this paper we study the effect of glyceraldehyde autoxidation on red-cell ATPase activities. The autoxidation of glyceraldehyde in imidazole-glycylglycine buffer, measured by oxygen consumption, depends on the buffer concentration and decreases in the presence of superoxide dismutase and catalase. The addition of DETAPAC inhibits the autoxidation almost completely. When human red-blood-cell membranes are incubated with glyceraldehyde, the red-blood-cell ATPase activities decrease significantly. The addition of DETAPAC, GSH and DTE (dithioerythritol) protects the enzyme from inactivation, but superoxide dismutase and catalase have no effect. Methylglyoxal (a dicarbonyl which is analogous to hydroxypyruvaldehyde derived from glyceraldehyde autoxidation) proved to have a powerful inhibitory action on ATPase activities. The addition of DTE completely protects the enzyme from inactivation, suggesting that the sulphydryl groups of the active site of the enzyme are the critical targets for dicarbonyl compounds.

1. Peroxisomes were isolated from bovine and rat liver by use of differential and density gradient centrifugations. 2. In the final density gradient (Nycodenz) a distinct peak of ATPase activity codistributed with the peroxisome marker catalase and was well separated from the bulk of the ATPase activity and from markers for other subcellular organelles. 3. The peroxisome-associated ATPase had a pH optimum of 7.5 and was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, but was unaffected by up to 30 microM n-tributyltin chloride. 4. Prolonged incubation with oligomycin at high concentrations indicated that 50% of peroxisomal ATPase was resistant to this inhibitor. The oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity required at least a four-fold higher ratio of inhibitor to protein for inhibition than mitochondrial ATPase did. It was concluded that oligomycin-sensitive and oligomycin-resistant ATPase may be associated with liver peroxisomes.

The effect of oxidant stress produced by redox cycling of substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones on the activity of platelet (Na(+)-K+)ATPase and the active transport of serotonin (5-HT) was studied. 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione) produced a concentration-dependent (0-100 microM) and time-dependent (2-20 min) stimulation of platelet 5-HT transport. Exogenous superoxide dismutase (250 units) and/or catalase (500 units) failed to block the stimulation. Fluoxetine, an inhibitor of the platelet 5-HT transporter, blocked menadione-induced stimulation of 5-HT uptake as did ouabain, an inhibitor of platelet (Na(+)-K+)ATPase. The structure-activity relationship of select 1,4-naphthoquinones suggested that stimulation was due to redox cycling and not arylation. The kinetics of 5-HT transport revealed that menadione markedly increased the maximal rate of 5-HT transport (Vmax control = 20.6 +/- 2.0 pmol/10(8) platelets/4 min vs Vmax menadione = 46.4 +/- 3.9 pmol/10(8) platelets/4 min) but did not significantly alter the Km values. The activity of (Na(+)-K+)ATPase was determined by measuring the uptake of 86Rb+ into intact platelets. Menadione produced a concentration-dependent and time-dependent stimulation of platelet 86Rb+ uptake. These changes in platelet (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activity paralleled the changes observed in 5-HT transport and were inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by ouabain. The data have shown that the redox cycling of 1,4-naphthoquinones caused an increase in (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activity that resulted in the stimulation of the rate of platelet 5-HT transport.

Prostacyclin (PGI2) did not alter the basal perfusion pressure in the isolated rat mesenteric arteries perfused with Krebs' solution, but produced a biphasic effect in arteries preconstricted with norepinephrine or arginine vasopressin: constriction, then prolonged dilation. Both these components of PGI2 effect were diminished in arteries denuded of their endothelia by a 10 min perfusion with distilled water or p-bromophenacyl bromide (10 microM). The present study elucidates the mechanism of these PGI2 actions. Indomethacin (0.28 microM) SQ 29548 (1 microM, thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist), saralasin (1 microM, angiotensin II receptor antagonist) or the free radical scavengers, superoxide dismutase (60 U/ml) and catalase (40 U/ml) did not inhibit the initial vasoconstriction, suggesting it was not mediated through endothelially generated thromboxane A2, angiotensin II or oxygen-derived free radicals. However, ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (50 microM; Ca++ chelating agent), 8-(diethyl-amino)octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzoate (10 microM; intracellular Ca++ antagonist), or neomycin (5 mM; phospholipase-C inhibitor) abolished the vasoconstriction. Ouabain (0.5 mM) did not affect the vasodilation, but perfusion with excess (50 mM) or 0 K+ Krebs' solution abolished it, suggesting this PGI2 action involves changes in membrane K+ conductance via a mechanism independent of Na+/K+ adenosine triphosphatase. Vasodilation evoked by BRL 34915 (K+ channel activator) was similarly attenuated under these conditions, but not by ouabain. Furthermore, procaine (1 mM; nonspecific K+ channel inhibitor), but not apamin (0.5 microM) or tetraethylammonium (10 mM) blocked PGI2- and BRL 34915-induced vasodilation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The hepatotoxicity of CCl4 is mediated through its initial reduction by cytochrome P-450 to the CCl3.radical. This radical then damages important metabolic systems such as the ATP-dependent microsomal Ca2+ pump. Previous studies from our laboratory on isolated microsomes have shown that NADPH in the absence of toxic agents inhibits this pump. We have now found in in vitro incubations that CCl4 (0.5-2.5 mM) enhanced the NADPH-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ uptake from 28% without CCl4 to a maximum of 68%. These concentrations are in the range found in the livers and blood of lethally intoxicated animals (Dambrauskas, T., and Cornish, H. H. (1970) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 17, 83-97; Long, R.M., and Moore, L. (1988) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 92, 295-306) and are toxic to cultured hepatocytes (Long, R. M., and Moore, L. (1988) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 92, 295-306). The inhibition of Ca2+ uptake was due both to a decrease in the Ca2(+)-dependent ATPase and to an enhanced release of Ca2+ from the microsomes. The NADPH-dependent CCl4 inhibition was greater under N2 and was totally prevented by CO. GSH (1-10 mM) added during the incubation with CCl4 prevented the inhibition. This protection was also seen when the incubations were performed under nitrogen. When samples were preincubated with CCl4, the CCl4 metabolism was stopped, and then the Ca2+ uptake was determined; GSH reversed the CCl4 inhibition of Ca2+ uptake. This reversal showed saturation kinetics for GSH with two Km values of 0.315 and 93 microM when both the preincubation and the Ca2+ uptake were performed under air, and 0.512 and 31 microM when both were performed under nitrogen. Cysteine did not prevent the NADPH-dependent CCl4 inhibition of Ca2+ uptake. CCl4 increased lipid peroxidation in air, but no lipid peroxidation was seen under nitrogen. Lipid peroxidation was only modestly reversed by GSH. GSH did not remove 14C bound to samples preincubated with the 14CCl4. Although EDTA (100 microM) decreased the CCl4 inhibition, the metal-complexing agents deferoxamine (100 microM) and diethyldithiocarbamate (100 microM) had no effect on the inhibition of the pump. Similarly, the reactive oxygen scavengers catalase (65 micrograms/ml), superoxide dismutase (15 micrograms/ml), mannitol (10 mM), and dimethyl sulfoxide (50 mM) also had no effect. Our results suggest that the initial toxicity of CCl4 for the Ca2+ pump results from the metabolism of CCl4 to the CCl3. radical. This radical then directly oxidizes the Ca2+ pump, leading to decreased Ca2+ uptake.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Incubation of rabbit heart microsomes with Adriamycin and NADPH resulted in the oxidation of approximately 25% of protein thiols and 66% inhibition of Ca-ATPase activity. Thiol oxidation and Ca-ATPase inactivation were iron-dependent and could be catalysed by ferritin. Removal of contaminating catalase revealed that both processes required H2O2 which could be supplied by O2 under aerobic conditions. However, O2- was not involved. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene inhibited lipid peroxidation of microsomes, but did not inhibit thiol oxidation or the inactivation of Ca-ATPase. Likewise, the hydroxyl radical scavengers benzoate, formate and mannitol were not inhibitory. Glutathione (GSH), however, prevented inactivation of Ca-ATPase. It is concluded that Adriamycin-enhanced redox reactions involving iron and H2O2 are responsible for oxidizing microsomal thiol groups and inhibition of Ca-ATPase. Disruption of Ca transport within the myocyte by this process could contribute to the cardiotoxicity of Adriamycin.

Effects of oxygen free radicals on Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase and ATP-independent Ca2(+)-binding activities were examined in rat heart sarcolemma. Membranes were incubated with different oxygen radical generating media such as xanthine + xanthine oxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrogen peroxide + Fe2+. In the presence of xanthine + xanthine oxidase, Ca2+ ATPase activity was stimulated and this effect was prevented by the addition of superoxide dismutase. Hydrogen peroxide also showed a significant increase in Ca2(+)-ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner and this effect was blocked by catalase. On the other hand, a combination of hydrogen peroxide + Fe2+ decreased Ca2(+)-ATPase activity; this depression was prevented by the addition of D-mannitol. The observed change in Ca2(+)-ATPase activity due to oxygen free radicals was associated with changes in Vmax, whereas Ka remained unaffected. Both xanthine + xanthine oxidase and hydrogen peroxide increased whereas, hydrogen peroxide + Fe2+ inhibited the ATP-independent Ca2(+)-binding activities. It is suggested that oxygen free radicals may influence Ca2+ movements in the cell by altering the Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase and Ca2(+)-binding activities of the membrane and these effects may be oxygen-radical species specific.

Bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) were exposed to continuous fluxes of hydroxyl radical (.OH) alone, superoxide anion radical (O2-) alone, or mixtures of .OH and O2-, by gamma radiolysis in the presence of 100% N2O (.OH exposure), 100% O2 + formate (O2- exposure), or 100% O2 alone (.OH + O2- exposure). Hydrogen peroxide effects were studied by addition of pure H2O2. NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase, succinate oxidase, and ATPase activities (Vmax) were rapidly inactivated by .OH (10% inactivation at 15-40 nmol of .OH/mg of SMP protein, 50-90% inactivation at 600 nmol of .OH/mg of SMP protein) and by .OH + O2- (10% inactivation at 20-80 nmol of .OH + O2-/mg of SMP protein, 45-75% inactivation at 600 nmol of .OH + O2-/mg of SMP protein). Importantly, O2- was a highly efficient inactivator of NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase, and ATPase (10% inactivation at 20-50 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein, 40% inactivation at 600 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein), a mildly efficient inactivator of succinate dehydrogenase (10% inactivation at 150 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein, 30% inactivation at 600 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein), and a poor inactivator of succinate oxidase (less than 10% inactivation at 600 nmol of O2-/mg of SMP protein). H2O2 partially inactivated NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase, and cytochrome oxidase, but even 10% loss of these activities required at least 500-600 nmol of H2O2/mg of SMP protein. Cytochrome oxidase activity (oxygen consumption supported by ascorbate + N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine) was remarkably resistant to oxidative inactivation, with less than 20% loss of activity evident even at .OH, O2-, OH + O2-, or H2O2 concentrations of 600 nmol/mg of SMP protein. Cytochrome c oxidase activity, however (oxidation of, added, ferrocytochrome c), exhibited more than a 40% inactivation at 600 nmol of .OH/mg of SMP protein. The .OH-dependent inactivations reported above were largely inhibitable by the .OH scavenger mannitol. In contrast, the O2(-)-dependent inactivations were inhibited by active superoxide dismutase, but not by denatured superoxide dismutase or catalase. Membrane lipid peroxidation was evident with .OH exposure but could be prevented by various lipid-soluble antioxidants which did not protect enzymatic activities at all.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Isolated myocytes of rat heart, and sealed sarcolemmal vesicles of bovine heart, were used to examine the selectivity of the effects of partially reduced oxygen species (generated by a mixture of xanthine and xanthine oxidase) on cardiac sodium pump and several other ion transporters of the plasma membrane. When myocytes were exposed to xanthine plus xanthine oxidase, there were time-dependent inhibitions of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity that could be prevented by allopurinol, or by catalase and superoxide dismutase; suggesting the involvements of H2O2 or oxygen free radicals in the inhibition of the pump. This inhibition preceded any significant decrease in cellular ATP or in the number of viable cells. While ouabain increased 45Ca2+ uptake by myocytes as expected, exposure to xanthine plus xanthine oxidase decreased 45Ca2+ uptake; suggesting that the Na+, Ca2(+)-exchanger of the intact myocytes is also inhibited by oxygen metabolites. Simultaneous inhibitions of the pump, the Na+, Ca2(+)-exchange, the Na+, H(+)-exchange, and the Na+, Pi-cotransport activities also occurred in sarcolemmal vesicles that were treated with xanthine plus xanthine oxidase. These findings indicate that inactivations of the sodium pump and other sarcolemmal ion carriers are early events in the oxidant-induced damage to the cardiomyocyte. In the rat heart myocytes, a fraction of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase that seems to be more sensitive to ouabain, was inactivated more rapidly upon exposure of myocytes to xanthine plus xanthine oxidase; raising the possibility of the existence of different pump populations with different sensitivities to extracellularly generated oxygen metabolites.
