A model of nonischemic hypoxia of the jejunum was designed in dogs, by shunting of blood from the inferior vena cava directly into the regional mesenteric arterial supply, thereby lowering the PaO2 of the blood that reached the jejunal wall from 98.6 +/- 3 to 62 +/- 5 mm Hg. Absorption rates of sodium, glucose, fructose, glycine, and the dibasic aminoacid lysine were studied by in situ luminal perfusion of a 30-cm proximal jejunal segment with a bicarbonate buffer solution containing phenol red as a nonabsorbable marker for determination of water fluxes. During periods of control, hypoxia, and after discontinuation of the venoarterial admixture (recovery), effluent perfusate was collected and mucosal biopsies were obtained for assay of lactase, maltase and sucrase activity, mucosal ATPase activity and ATP content, and for light- and electron microscopic examination. Mesenteric supply with hypoxic blood was associated with a significant inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase activity (p less than 0.001) and a rise in mucosal ATP content (p less than 0.05). There was a significant reduction in the absorption rates of sodium (p less than 0.001), glucose, and glycine (p less than 0.01), but no change in the transport of fructose and of lysine. Brush border enzymes were unaltered. The histological appearance of the mucosa remained normal throughout the experiment, but on electron microscopy a distinct swelling of the enterocyte mitochondria was noted during the hypoxia period.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Rat intestinal microvillus membrane contains at least 24 polypeptides, of which 18 can be solubilized using Triton X-114 at 4 degrees C. Upon phase separation at 32 degrees C, 11 proteins separated nearly completely into the detergent-rich phase, while 9 proteins were found exclusively in the aqueous phase. Enzymes which were uniquely included in the detergent phase were alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPase. The proteins which were excluded from the detergent phase and found exclusively in the aqueous phase included the disaccharidases (glucoamylase, sucrase-isomaltase, trehalase, lactase) and the ileal receptor for the intrinsic factor-cobalamin complex. Integral membrane proteins can thus be separated during solubilization into two groups prior to further purification or characterization.

In the relatively undifferentiated jejunal mucosa occurring in piglet viral enteritis, we measured the response of transepithelial Na+ and Cl- fluxes in vitro to raised intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels. At the acute 40-h stage of transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE), luminal membrane markers, sucrase and lactase, and a basolateral jejunal epithelial membrane marker Na+-K+-ATPase, were significantly decreased in activity, while a proliferative marker, thymidine kinase, was significantly enriched; these enzyme characteristics are typical of enterocytes isolated from crypts of other species. As expected, control piglet jejunum in short-circuited Ussing chambers after theophylline (10 mM) developed significant net secretory Na and Cl fluxes primarily due to significant antiabsorptive effects (delta JNa m----s = 3.48 +/- 0.52, delta JCl m----s = 2.59 +/- 0.28). Furosemide (10(-4) M), an inhibitor of electroneutral NaCl cotransport, produced antiabsorptive effects (delta JNa m----s = 2.53 +/- 0.31, delta JCl m----s = 2.58 +/- 0.28) in control jejunum that were not significantly different from those seen in response to theophylline. TGE jejunum, however, responded to theophylline not by an antiabsorptive effect but by significant electrogenic Cl- secretion (delta JCl s----m = 1.59 +/- 0.48); furosemide had no effect on ion fluxes in TGE tissue. Control and TGE jejunal mucosal homogenates did not differ in their basal or theophylline-stimulated levels of cAMP. We conclude that the relatively undifferentiated small intestine occurring in acute TGE does not generate either a cAMP-mediated antiabsorptive effect or a furosemide-mediated antiabsorptive effect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

To investigate the effect of chronic protein-calorie malnutrition on intestinal repair after an enteric infection, we examined small intestinal structure, enzyme activity, and sodium transport in undernourished piglets during the acute and convalescent phases of a viral enteritis, transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE). Gnotobiotic pigs, nutritionally deprived from the age of 7 days, gained less weight than dietary controls from 14 days of age until the end of the study. Animals from malnourished and control diet groups were inoculated with TGE virus at 22-23 days and studied during the acute (40 h) and convalescent (4, 10, and 15 days) stages of this experimental enteritis along with noninfected dietary controls. After TGE infection, we observed a further decrease in weight gain and an increased mortality only in undernourished pigs. In jejunum and ileum of both dietary groups at 40 h after TGE infection, we observed comparable structural lesions, similar decreased activities of mucosal enzymes (sucrase, lactase, sodium-potassium-dependent ATPase), and increased thymidine kinase activities. Also we noted comparable diminution of glucose-stimulated jejunal sodium absorption in both dietary groups at 40 h. In control diet pigs, transport abnormalities recovered by 4 days after TGE infection and normal mucosal structure and enzyme activity returned over 4-15 days. In undernourished piglets, structural repair and enzyme abnormalities were prolonged when compared with the control diet group; glucose-stimulated sodium transport did not recover until 10 days after infection and never regained the enhanced activity seen in noninfected undernourished controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A technique for the isolation of intact brush borders from rabbit renal cortex was evaluated. The procedure was monitored by phase and electron microscopy and marker enzymes, i.e. ATP:NMN adenylyl transferase, nuclear; cytochrome oxidase, mitochondrial; beta-glucuronidase, lysosomal; and glucose-6-Pase, microsomal; and indicated an essentially pure preparation of brush borders. The disaccharidase, trehalase, previously reported in renal tubules, was localized uniquely in brush borders. Maltase was also found; the specific activities of the two enzymes in the brush borders were increased 10- to 20-fold. Other disaccharidases, such as sucrase, isomaltase, lactase, and cellobiase, were absent. It is suggested that trehalase and maltase are appropriate candidates for marker enzymes of the renal brush border. Isolated brush borders possessed a ouabain-sensitive (Na(+) + K(+)) ATPase, an oligomycin-insensitive Mg(++) ATPase, and a Ca(++)-activated ATPase. Alkaline phosphatases, dephosphorylating beta-glycero-P, and trehalose-6-P were also present. The specific activities of these enzymes were increased three-to-five fold in the brush-border preparations; however, activities were found in other subcellular fractions of the renal cortex. Hexokinase, although evident in the isolated brush border, was found prominently associated with other membranous fractions. Phosphoglucomutase and UDPG pyrophosphorylase were localized in the soluble fraction of the renal cortex.

Preparations of isolated brush border plasma membrane of Hymenolepis diminuta and H. microstoma possess the following enzymatic activities: alkaline phosphohydrolase (E.C. 3.1.3.1); Type I phosphodiesterase (E.E. 3.1.4.1); ribonuclease (E.C. 3.1.4.22); adenosine triphosphatase (E.C. 3.6.1.3); and 5'-nucleotidase (E.C. 3.1.3.5). The following enzymatic activities could not be demonstrated in either membrane preparation: Type II phosphodiesterase (E.C. 3.1.4.18); cyclic adenosine-3', 5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase (E.C. 3.1.4.17); leucine aminopeptidase (E.C. 3.4.11.1); maltase (alpha-glucosidase; E.C. 3.2.1.20); and lactase (beta-galactosidase; E.C. 3.2.1.23). These data generally agree with those of previous studies in which similar membrane-bound enzymes were demonstrated in intact (living) worms.

The pathogenesis of diarrhea caused by rotavirus infection was studied in miniature swine piglets. The animals were inoculated orally with 2 X 10(7) plaque-forming units of porcine rotavirus (OSU strain). During the height of diarrhea, intestinal function was investigated by in vivo perfusion of a 30-cm segment of proximal jejunum and a 30-cm segment of distal ileum. Absorption of Na+ and water decreased and 3-O-methylglucose transport was markedly reduced, P less than 0.01 compared to control animals. Mucosal lactase and sucrase levels were depressed in both the jejunum and ileum, P less than 0.001. Na+,K+-ATPase activity was significantly depressed only in the ileum, P less than 0.001. These changes were associated with a marked reduction in villous height, suggesting that the diarrhea could be an osmotic diarrhea due to nutrient (carbohydrate) malabsorption. Fresh stool samples were obtained and analyzed immediately for NA+,K+, osmolarity, glucose, and lactose; the osmotic gap was also determined. Stool osmolarity continually increased from 248 +/- 20 mosm/liter prior to inoculation to 348 +/- 20 mosm/liter at 75 +/- 1 hr postinoculation (P less than 0.005); the majority of the fecal osmotic gap could be accounted for by the amount of lactose present in the stools. Stool sodium increased from 34 +/- 6 mM prior to inoculation to a maximum of 65 +/- 4 mM at 53 +/- 1 hr postinoculation, P less than 0.001. There was no significant change in potassium concentration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In vivo jejunal transport of amino acids, monosaccharides, sodium, and electrolytes were studied in rats made nephrotic with puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) and in pair-fed controls. Studies were performed 14 days after a single intravenous dose of PAN when rats were no longer edematous, but were still hypoproteinemic. There was decreased absorption of glucose, 3-0-methyl glucose, glycine, phenylalanine, histidine, water, and sodium in the nephrotic animals but transport of fructose, lysine and potassium was similar in the nephrotic and control animals. Enzyme kinetic studies for glucose transport showed a mixed type of inhibition affecting both Vm and Km. The jejunal mucosa of nephrotic and control rats had similar ATP content and enzyme activity for lactase, sucrase, maltase and (Na-K)-ATPase and the ratios of RNA to DNA were similar in the nephrotic and control rats. No abnormality of the jejunum was detected by light or electron microscopy. The data suggest that the impairment of absorption is a result of decreased activity of jejunal membrane carrier mechanisms. The altered transport may be secondary to effects related to the metabolic consequences of nephrotic syndrome and does not appear to be related to acute purine aminonucleoside toxicity, edema or malnutrition.

We studied the uptake of D-glucose and L-tryptophan by the small intestine and estimated the activities of the intestinal brush border enzymes (sucrase, lactase, NA+-K+-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase) and lysosomal enzymes in rats receiving T-2 toxin orally. considerable decrease occurred in glucose and tryptophan uptake and in brush border sucrase, lactase and (Na+-K+)-ATPase. Alkaline phosphatase activity and release of lysosomal enzymes (acid phosphatase and acid ribonuclease) was unchanged.

The factors regulating the developmental changes in intestinal morphology and enzyme activity during the postnatal period are incompletely understood. Increased ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and polyamine levels occur in association with increased mucosal growth seen just prior to weaning. The present work examines the effects of the polyamine spermidine, administered exogenously during early postnatal development in the rat, on structural and functional differentiation of the intestine. Young rats were fed 6 mumol of spermidine for either 1 day (P1) or 3 days (P3) prior to sacrifice on postnatal day 10. Control littermates were sacrificed at day 10 (C10) or at day 49 (C49) (postweanling [adult] reference). A loss of most of the well-developed characteristic endosomal complex and supranuclear giant lysosome was observed in the absorptive cells of the ileum and proximal colon in the spermidine-treated groups and was accompanied by a decline in N-acetyl-glucosaminidase activity to adult levels. A precocious appearance of sucrase and NaK ATPase activities was observed in the P1 group and these activities attained adult levels in the P3 group. This premature appearance of sucrase and NaK ATPase activities was associated with a decline in lactase levels. The exogenous administration of spermidine also elicited an increase in mucosal ODC activity.
