To examine the potential effect of the cellular ATP concentration and of the phosphate potential on the function of the sodium pump in intact renal cells, the ATP content of dog cortical tubules was first modified by a 30-min preincubation with one of the following effectors: 5 or 10 mM fructose, 2.5 mM adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), or 2.5 mM adenosine in the presence of substrates (10 mM glutamine + 1 mM glutamate with either 10 mM lactate (low ATP) or 10 mM pyruvate (high ATP)). The tubules were then incubated in Krebs-Henseleit saline using two different phosphate concentrations and the same substrate mixture. The ATP content in tubular cells was modified by these treatments, ranging from 2.2 to 5.7 mM. The oxygen uptake by the tubules was measured before and after application of a small amount of nystatin (0.05 mM, 6 mumol/g wet wt.), added to impose an identical and submaximal increment of work to the Na(+)-K+ ATPase in tubules, irrespective of their ATP condition. This manoeuvre was followed by the addition of 1 mM ouabain to inhibit the sodium pump and quantify the respiration related to the activity of the Na+ pump. No significant effect of the ATP content on the respiratory cost of the Na(+)-K+ ATPase activity was noted when the [ATP] was above the normal concentration of approximately 3.0 mM before or after introduction of nystatin. In a second group of experiments, tubules were treated with 0.1 mM digitonin (13 mumol/g wet wt.) and resuspended in intracellular-like and sodium-free medium. The respiration was measured before and after the addition of increasing Mg-ATP concentrations (0-12 mM). A fixed quantity of Na+ (20 mM) was then introduced before ouabain was applied. The oxygen uptake was measured in these three conditions. We observed a fixed increment of ouabain-sensitive respiration upon stimulation of the pump activity by sodium at ATP concentrations ranging from 2 to 7 mM. The same observation applied when the free energy released from ATP hydrolysis ranged from -50 to -56 kJ.mol-1 and when the [ATP]/[ADP].[Pi] ratio ranged from 1.5 to 7.5 mM-1. These results suggest that the Na+:ATP stoichiometry of the Na(+)-K+ ATPase is not modified by [ATP] in dog cortical tubules when the ATP content is at or above the physiological value. Furthermore, the stoichiometry of the pump does not appear to change when the phosphate potential and (or) the free energy released from ATP hydrolysis are altered.

Biochemical and molecular pharmacological studies were carried out in the gastric fundic mucosa during the development of stress ulcer in rats. The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the changes in membrane-bound ATP-dependent energy systems during the development of stress ulcer; (2) to prove (or to exclude) the presence of tissue hypoxia in the rat gastric mucosa during the development of stress ulcer; (3) to obtain further evidence of the existence of a feedback mechanism between ATP-ADP, ATP-cAMP, and cAMP-AMP transformations during the development of stress ulcer; (4) to analyze the different biochemical changes in the gastric mucosa before and after the macroscopic appearance of stress-induced gastric mucosal lesions (ulcers). The observations were carried out on both sexes of CFY-strain rats of 180 to 210 g body weight. The animals were deprived of food for 24 hours before the experiments. The animals were forced to swim in water (at 24 degrees C) for five hours. They were sacrificed at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hours after the introduction of stress. The tissue levels of ATP, ADP, AMP/ADP, and lactate were enzymatically measured; the cAMP was measured by radioimmunoassay. The adenylate pool (ATP + ADP + AMP), ratio of ATP/ADP, and "energy charge" [(ATP + 0.5 ADP)/(ATP + ADP + AMP)] were calculated. The membrane (Mg2(+)-Na(+)-K(+)-dependent) ATPase was prepared from the rat gastric fundic mucosa. Dose-response curves for epinephrine, cAMP, and AMP were determined on Na(+)-K(+)-dependent ATPase; also, the affinity, intrinsic activity curves, pD2, pA2 and alpha were calculated for all components. It was found that: (1) gastric mucosal lesions appeared and increased gradually from three hours after introduction of stress; (2) the extent of ATP-cAMP and cAMP-AMP transformations was increased considerably during the development of stress ulcer; (3) the extent of ATP-ADP transformation was completely inhibited; (4) the activity of Na(+)-K(+)-dependent ATPase from rat gastric fundic mucosa could be inhibited by epinephrine, cAMP, and AMP; (5) the ratio of ATP/ADP was unchanged in the first time period (from 0 to 3 hours), after which its value increased; (6) the value of "energy charge" (e.g., the extent of phosphorylation and/or dephosphorylation) of cells was decreased at two and three hours, after which its value returned to a normal level; (7) there was no increase in the tissue level of lactate; (8) several biochemical changes (decrease of ATP, ADP, "energy charge," increase of cAMP, AMP) preceded the macroscopic appearance of stress ulcer.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Recent studies have shown that inhaled frusemide exerts a protective effect against various bronchoconstrictor stimuli in asthma including exercise, fog and allergen. Since mast cell activation seems to be a component of bronchoconstriction by these stimuli it is possible that inhibition of mediator release accounts for some or all of the inhibitory effects of frusemide in asthma. Since inhaled adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) is another stimulus that produces bronchoconstriction by augmenting mast cell mediator release, we have investigated the ability of this drug to antagonise the airway effects of inhaled AMP and methacholine in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of 12 asthmatic subjects. Inhaled frusemide (approximately 28 mg) administered 5 min prior to challenge increased the provocation concentration of inhaled AMP and methacholine required to reduce forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV) by 20% from baseline from 30 to 96 mg.ml-1 (p less than 0.01) and from 1.1 to 1.8 mg.ml-1 (p less than 0.01), respectively. The protection that frusemide afforded against AMP was significantly greater than that against methacholine (p less than 0.05). These data suggest that inhaled frusemide may serve as a functional antagonist against a smooth muscle spasmogen, such as methacholine, possibly by augmenting prostanoid generation. Its more potent activity against AMP and other bronchoconstrictor stimuli, that are considered to involve mast cell mediators, suggests an additional action on mast cell functions possibly at the level of the Ca++/Mg(++)-ATPase.

The amphiphilic cationic cardioactive drugs (pindolol, propranolol and amiodarone) were tested for their effects on lipid dynamics (measured by fluorescence depolarization) and on enzymatic activities up to 1 mM in purified cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles from adult rat. The vesicles were enriched 12- to 37-fold (with respect to tissue homogenate) in Na+/K+ ATPase, K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase, 5'nucleotidase and adenylate cyclase, all of which are believed to be components of sarcolemma. Phospholipids and cholesterol content were enriched 5- and 13-fold respectively. There was very little contamination of the sarcolemmal vesicles by sarcoplasmic reticulum (as judged by Ca2+ ATPase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities) or mitochondria (as judged by cytochrome-c-oxidase activity). Pindolol had no effect on lipid dynamics and enzyme activities except for the isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase. The latter was also totally inhibited at 1 microM by propranolol which inhibited Mg2+ ATPase and increased fluidity above 20 microM. Amiodarone affected all the enzyme activities (except Na+/K+ ATPase): isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate (IC50 = 30 microM), Mg2+ ATPase (IC50 = 20 microM) and K+-stimulated-p-nitrophenylphosphatase were inhibited; 5'nucleotidase was activated above 2 microM. By contrast with propranolol, amiodarone decreased lipid mobility. The effect was linear with the concentration of the drug above 1 microM.

The adenylate energy charges (EC) of Escherichia coli 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 27853, and Streptococcus lactis 7962 rapidly fell in nutrient-rich media from values in excess of 0.9 to below 0.1 when the organisms were exposed to lethal levels of HOCl. The same cells maintained in energy-depleted states were incapable of attaining normal EC values necessary for biosynthesis and growth when challenged with nutrient energy sources after HOCl exposure. These changes correlated quantitatively with loss of replicative capabilities. Initial rates of transport of glucose, succinate, and various amino acids that act as respiratory substrates and the ATP hydrolase activity of the F1 complex from the ATP synthase of E. coli 25922 also declined in parallel with or preceded loss of viability. These results establish that cellular death is accompanied by complete disruption of bacterial ATP production by both oxidative and fermentative pathways as a consequence of inhibition of inner membrane bound systems responsible for these processes.

Brush-border and basal-lateral membranes were prepared from rabbit intestinal epithelial cells by differential centrifugation and MgCl2 precipitation. The ADP-ribosylation of proteins in these fractions when incubated with [adenylate-32P]NAD+ and cholera toxin was investigated. Three proteins of molecular mass 45, 40 and 37 kDa were labelled in a toxin-dependent manner in each membrane fraction. The incorporation of 32P-labelled ADP-ribose was 18-fold greater in brush-border membranes than in basal-lateral membranes, comparable to the enrichment of sucrase (marker enzyme for the brush border) in these membranes. There was a 20% release of the 40 and 45 kDa proteins from the brush-border membrane following this ADP-ribosylation. Activation of adenylate cyclase by both cholera toxin and sodium fluoride was 2.7- and 2.3-fold greater, respectively, in basal-lateral membranes than in brush-border membranes, comparable to the enrichment of Na+/K+-ATPase (marker enzyme for the basal-lateral membrane) in these membranes. The effect of sodium fluoride on membranes pretreated with cholera toxin revealed no increase in adenylate cyclase activity above that due to the toxin. This presumably means that both toxin and fluoride activate adenylate cyclase by the same regulatory protein. The results show that cholera toxin catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation of regulatory proteins in the brush-border membrane, and these proteins then migrate to the basal-lateral membrane where they activate the catalytic component of adenylate cyclase.

Concentration of ATP, total content of adenine nucleotides and energy charge of the adenylate system were distinctly higher in blood of patients with psoriasis as compared with corresponding patterns of healthy persons blood. In psoriasis the rate of glycolytic production of ATP was unaltered in erythrocytes, whereas Na+, K+-ATPase activity was decreased in the cell membranes. Similar alterations occurred in epidermis impaired with psoriasis. The data obtained suggest the systemic type of the pathological process, which caused impairment of adenine nucleotides metabolism. Estimation of ATP concentration, of total content of adenine nucleotides and adenylate energy charge might be of importance in diagnosis and therapy of psoriasis.

To investigate further the pathophysiology of rotavirus-induced diarrhea, changes in specific activities of eight relevant intestinal enzymes [alkaline phosphatase, thymidine kinase, lactase, maltase, sucrase, Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), adenylate and guanylate cyclases] were measured following infection of suckling mice with murine rotavirus (epizootic diarrhea of infant mouse strain) and compared with age-matched control mice. The concentration of lactose within the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract during infection was also measured. During the course of infection, activities of alkaline phosphatase and lactase decreased, whilst the activity of thymidine kinase increased. Precocious maturation profiles of sucrase and maltase enzymes were observed. No significant changes were detected in the activities of Na+,K+-ATPase or the adenylate and guanylate cyclases. These results are discussed in relation to existing and novel hypotheses on the pathogenesis of rotavirus-induced diarrhea.

Concentrations of high-energy phosphates and activities of key enzymes of energy metabolism were assessed in hearts from species with differing levels of cardiac power output. Positive correlations were found between resting power output and the total adenylate pool and between citrate synthase activity and the total adenylate pool. Maximum in vitro activity levels of enzymes from energy metabolism were compared with calculated resting cardiac power output and maximal cardiac power output (as reflected by total oligomycin-insensitive adenosine-triphosphatase activity). Three indexes of carbohydrate metabolism (hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, and L-lactate dehydrogenase) all plateau at relatively low levels of energy demand. In contrast, enzymes required for aerobic fatty acid metabolism, (carnitine palmitoyltransferase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) and for tricarboxylic acid and electron transport (citrate synthase and cytochrome-c oxidase) show consistent increases as ATP demand is elevated. It appears that as capacity for power development by vertebrate hearts, increases across taxa, the elevated demand for ATP is met by expansion of fatty acid based aerobic metabolism and not carbohydrate metabolism.

We investigated the endogenous mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit skeletal muscle. The autoradiogram obtained after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the [adenylate-32P]NAD-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles revealed a major band corresponding to the MW 105 K Ca2+-dependent ATPase and other bands corresponding to proteins of MW 153, 60 and 38 K and those of 125 to 135 K range. The addition of poly L-lysine during the incubation led to an enhancement of the modification. Poly L-lysine is proving to be a pertinent tool for identifying acceptor proteins.
