Previous work has demonstrated that myocardial ischemia results in a breakdown of the excitation-contraction coupling system of cardiac muscle associated with lysosomal activation. It has been hypothesized that lysosomal activation during the course of myocardial ischemia is mediated by the production of oxygen free radicals. We have tested the hypothesis that myocardial ischemia results in the activation of lysosomal phospholipase C and disruption of calcium transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) mediated by oxygen free radicals. Three groups of dogs were studied: sham-operated controls (n = 6); normothermic global ischemia of 30-min duration (n = 6); and 30 min of normothermic global ischemia pretreated with intracoronary superoxide dismutase (SOD, 10 micrograms/ml) plus catalase (25 micrograms/ml). In vitro, isolated SR demonstrated a significant depression of calcium uptake rates and Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity at both pH 7.0 and 6.4 with the depression at pH 6.4 greater than 7.0. This depression of SR function was significantly inhibited in hearts pretreated with SOD plus catalase. In sham-operated controls, acid-induced dysfunction was associated with substantial loss of phospholipid phosphorus and major changes in phospholipid composition. SR contained an extremely active, ion-independent sphingomyelinase-phospholipase C (SM-PLC) that had maximal activity at pH 4.5-5.0. This SM-PLC was activated when control SR was incubated at acid pH and the specific activity of SM-PLC was decreased 50% in SR isolated from normothermic global ischemia. Activity remained at control levels in hearts pretreated with SOD plus catalase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Microsomal membranes isolated from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. GWD-2) storage tissue were found to contain a Na3VO4-dependent system for the oxidation of NADH. The system was demonstrated to be enzymatic in nature and specific for Na3VO4. Maximal Na3VO4-dependent NADH oxidation was observed at pH 6.5, when Na3VO4 was present at 200 microM and when NADH was present at 100 microM. The oxidation activity was insensitive to rotenone and antimycin A but was inhibited by NaN3, NaCN, and quinacrine. Sodium vanadate-dependent NADH oxidation occurred with a concomitant uptake of O2 from the assay solution. Both NADH oxidation and O2 consumption were dependent upon the presence of Na3VO4, inhibited by manganese, and preferred NADH to NADPH. Catalase prevented Na3VO4-dependent O2 consumption but accelerated NADH oxidation. The effects of manganese and catalase suggest that superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide may be involved in this process. While it is unclear as to the physiological significance of Na3VO4-dependent NADH oxidation in plant cells, the presence of this system indicates that caution must be exercised when coupled ATPase assays depending upon NADH oxidation are used with plant membranes in the presence of Na3VO4.

1. During anaerobic glucose de-repression the respiration rate of whole cells of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis remained constant and was insensitive to antimycin A but was inhibited by 30% by KCN. Aeration of cells for 1 h led to increased respiration rate which was inhibited by 80% by antimycin A or KCN. 2. Homogenates were prepared from sphaeroplasts of anaerobically grown, glucose de-repressed cells and the distribution of marker enzymes was investigated after zonal centrifugation on sucrose gradients containing MgCl(2). These homogenates contained no detectable cytochrome c oxidase or catalase activity. The complex density distributions of NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductases and adenosine triphosphatase(s) [ATPase(s)] were very different from those of anaerobically grown, glucose-repressed cells. 3. The specific activity of total ATPase was lowered and sensitivity to oligomycin decreased from 58 to 7% during de-repression. 4. Cytochrome c oxidase and catalase activities were detectable in homogenates of cells after 10min aeration. Zonal centrifugation indicated complex, broad sedimentable distributions of all enzyme activities assayed; the peaks of activity were at 1.27g/ml. 5. Centrifugation of homogenates of cells adapted for 30min and 3 h indicated a shift of density of the major sedimentable peak from 1.25g/ml (30min) to 1.235g/ml (3 h). After 30min adaptation a minor zone of oligomycin-sensitive ATPase and 15% of the total cytochrome c oxidase activities were detected at rho=1.12g/l; these particles together with those of higher density containing cytochrome c oxidase, ATPase and NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase activities were all sedimented at 10(5)g-min. 6. Electron microscopy indicated that the mitochondria-like structures of anaerobically grown, glucose-de-repressed cells were similar to those of repressed cells. After 10min of respiratory adaptation highly organized mitochondria were evident which resembled the condensed forms of mitochondria of aerobically grown, glucose-de-repressed cells. High-density zonal fractions of homogenates of cells after adaptation also contained numerous electron-dense vesicles 0.05-0.2mum in diameter. 7. The possibility that the ;promitochondria' of anaerobically grown cells may not be the direct structural precursors of fully functional mitochondria is discussed.

Analytical subcellular fractionation of tissue whole homogenates and microanalysis of organelle marker enzymes were used to study the activity and subcellular localization of enzymes implicated in HCO3 secretion in rat duodenal and gastric antral mucosae. The following organelles, characterized by their marker enzymes, were located in the density gradients: cytosol (lactate dehydrogenase), plasma membrane (5'-nucleotidase), peroxisomes (catalase), mitochondria (succinate dehydrogenase), endoplasmic reticulum (Tris-resistant alpha-glucosidase), lysosomes (N-beta-acetylglucosaminidase), and brush-border membrane (Zn2+-resistant alpha-glucosidase and alkaline phosphatase). Compared with gastric antrum, rat duodenal mucosa contained over twice the activity of HCO3-ATPase and of Na+-K+-ATPase but less than one-tenth the activity of carbonic anhydrase. Duodenal HCO3-ATPase activity was observed in both mitochondrial and brush-border membrane fractions, whereas antral HCO3-ATPase activity was confined to mitochondria. Na+-K+-ATPase activity was found largely in the basolateral membrane (duodenum) and plasma membrane (antrum). In both tissues carbonic anhydrase activity was localized to the cytosolic fraction. These observations offer further evidence that differing biochemical mechanisms underlie HCO3 secretion by gastric and duodenal epithelia.

Deciliation of Paramecium tetraurelia by a Ca2+ shock procedure releases a discrete set of proteins which represent about 1% of the total cell protein. Marker enzymes for cytoplasm (hexokinase), endoplasmic reticulum (glucose-6-phosphatase), peroxisomes (catalase), and lysosomes (acid phosphatase) were not released by this treatment. Among the proteins selectively released is a Ca2+-dependent ATPase. This enzyme has a broad substrate specificity which includes GTP, ATP, and UTP, and it can be activated by Ca2+, Sr2+, or Ba2+, but not by Mg2+ or by monovalent cations. The crude enzyme has a specific activity of 2-3 mumol/min per mg; the optimal pH for activity is 7.5. ATPase, GTPase, and UTPase all reside in the same protein, which is inhibited by ruthenium red, is irreversibly denatured at 50 degrees C, and which has a sedimentation coefficient of 8-10 S. This enzyme is compared with other surface-derived ATPases of ciliated protozoans, and its possible roles are discussed.

Human peripheral blood leukocytes, activated by phorbol myristate acetate, disrupt canine sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium transport, in vitro, by an oxygen-derived free radical mechanism. Activated leukocytes significantly depress Ca++ uptake activity and Ca++ -stimulated, Mg++ -dependent ATPase activity. The depression is completely inhibited by sodium-azide (0.1 mM) or the combination of superoxide dismutase (10 micrograms/ml) and catalase (10 micrograms/ml). Exogenous hydrogen peroxide (0.441-4.41 mM) uncoupled Ca++ uptake activity from ATP hydrolysis, and this effect was inhibited by catalase. Mannitol alone did not inhibit the effects of activated leukocytes, but superoxide plus mannitol (20-100 mM) resulted in normal ATPase activity, while Ca++ uptake remained depressed. In the presence of indomethacin and ibuprofen, activated leukocytes depressed Ca++ uptake and had no effect on ATPase activity. 2-Amino-methyl-4-t-butyl-6-iodophenol (MK-447) further depressed Ca++ uptake and partially inhibited the effect on ATPase activity. Indomethacin plus catalase completely inhibited the effects of activated leukocytes on cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum. We conclude, first, that activated leukocytes depress canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca++ transport by an oxygen-free radical mechanism with the generation of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. In addition to the classical membrane NADPH oxidase system, significant oxygen radical generation can occur through the cyclooxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, and seems to be responsible for the generation of the hydroxyl radical.

Administration of N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (90 mumol/kg, iv) to rats results in damage to periportal hepatocytes. The most prominent ultrastructural changes are the appearance of numerous unusual vesicles of about 200 nm diameter and the proliferation of the endoplasmic reticulum to form fingerprint-like structures. In order to characterize these vesicles and to investigate their possible origin, their enzymatic activity was studied by ultrastructural enzyme histochemistry. The vesicles as well as the fingerprint-like structures exhibited glucose-6-phosphatase activity. Continuities between the vesicles and the membranes of both the RER and the SER were frequently seen. The vesicles lacked ATPase, 5'nucleotidase and catalase activity. From these results we conclude that the vesicles may be an unusual proliferation of the endoplasmic reticulum.

We have studied the effects of adriamycin (doxorubicin HCl) on human red blood cells. The peroxidizing effect of adriamycin on the thiols of red cell constituents resulted in decreased glutathione stability, and oxidation of hemoglobin and membrane protein components 1, 2, and 3, forming large molecular weight complexes. Membrane lipids were also peroxidized. Adriamycin itself did not inhibit the enzymes of the reductions system (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase) of the red cells. Because adriamycin has the potential of inhibiting ATPase, including both Na-K-dependent ATPase and ouabain insensitive ATPase, at concentrations not inhibitory to other enzymes, the net sodium content increased, and potassium content decreased after incubation of red cells with adriamycin at high concentrations. The experimental results described with adriamycin may serve as a model for the possible mechanism of cardiotoxicity observed in its clinical use, and also explain the potential hemolyzing effect on red cells. There was greater oxidizing effect on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficient than on normal erythrocytes. It is suggested that adriamycin be used with caution in individuals with G-6-PD deficient red cells.

The subcellular localization of the omega-hydroxylase of Saccharomycopsis lipolytica was assessed by the analytical fractionation technique, originally described by de Duve C., Pressman, B.C., Gianetto, R., Wattiaux, R. and Appelmans, F., and hitherto little, if at all, applied to yeasts. Protoplasts were separated in six fractions by differential centrifugation. Some of these fractions were further fractionated by density gradient centrifugation. The distribution of omega-hydroxylase and 15 other constituents chosen as possible markers of its subcellular entities. (1) Mitochondria were characterized by particulate malate dehydrogenase, particulate Antimycin A-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase, oligomycin-sensitive and K+-stimulated ATPase pH 9. (2) Most if not all of the catalase and urate oxidase is peroxisomal. (3) Free ribosomes account for most RNA. (4) Nucleoside diphosphatase is for the first time reported in a yeast and appears to belong to an homogeneous population of small membranes. (5) The soluble compartment contains magnesium pyrophosphatase, alkaline, 5'-nucleotidase and part of the NADH-cytochrome c reductase. Latent arylesterase and ATPase pH 7 have an unspecific distribution. Alkaline phosphodiesterase I has not been detected.

In this report the disturbances in biochemistry of the heart muscle exposed to alcohol are delineated. All elements of cellular substructures are affected. In plasma membranes, (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) is inhibited. Mitochondrial damage consists in diminished respiratory function and calcium uptake and binding. High-energy phosphates remain intact. Alcohol also affects the malate-aspartate shuttle. Acetaldehyde, a metabolite of ethanol, has a direct effect on myocardial protein synthesis through microsomal inhibition; however, the development of cardiac hypertrophy is not affected. Malfunction of sarcoplasmic reticulum is evidenced by disturbances in calcium binding and uptake. Effects of ethanol on the contractile machinery are deficiencies in the turnover rate of chemical into mechanical energy (diminished Vmax), and in the number of cross-bridges formed (P0). It increases stiffness of series elastic elements. There is diminished fatty acid oxidation with increased esterification. The involvement of CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.1), palmityl-carnitine transferase (EC 2.3.1.7), and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in disturbed fatty acid oxidation is not certain. The role of catalase in myocardial ethanol oxidation was examined. Ethanol activates myocardial catalase-H2O2 complex (EC 1.11.1.6). The biochemical basis of fetal alcohol syndrome is low hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) activity during fetal life.
