The present work is a continuation of our studies on mitochondrial functions and enzyme activities after acute exhaustive swimming in liver and myocardium. In rat heart mitochondria the activities of SDH, cytochrome oxidase and ATPase (DNP-stimulated) increase after swimming and remain at that level until the end of the 22-hour rest period studied. The enzyme complexes--rotenone-sensitive NAD. H-cytochrome c-reductase and succinate-cytochrome c-reductase--decrease their activities in both experimental groups. The reduced activity of these two enzymes is determined by changes in this part of the respiratory chain which occur after the incorporation of DCPIP in the oxidation-reduction processes. The marker enzyme of the outer mitochondrial membranes--rotenone-insensitive NAD.H-cytochrome c-reductase--reveals unchanged activity after swimming and a 22-hour period of rest. The different changes in the activities of enzymes with different localization and organization in heart mitochondria are explained by disorganization of the inner membranes after exhaustive swimming, which could induce both activation of some enzymes and inhibition of others. The effect of certain factors during muscle exercise which could cause the established structural and functional changes in the mitochondria is discussed.

1. Net fluid transport rate, transepithelial p.d. and resistance, and unidirectional Na+-fluxes were measured in rabbit gall-bladder preparations exposed on both sides to bicarbonate-Ringer solution in vitro. 2. Both ouabain and ethacrynic acid (ETCA) caused dose-dependent decreases of net fluid transport rate; ouabain inhibited fluid transport predominantly from the serosal side, whereas the inhibitory effect of ETCA was elicited mainly from the mucosal (luminal) side. Applied bilaterally, the ID50 for ouabain was 2.5 X 10(-6) M, and for ETCA 2.3 X 10(-4) M. After maximal inhibition at each concentration level of the two inhibitors fluid transport could not be reversed. 3. 2,4-Dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) (2 X 10(-4) M) or substitution of O2 by N2 caused an 80% reversible decrease of net fluid transport. 4. The spontaneous p.d. across the rabbit gall-bladder was about 2.7 mV, mucosal side positive. 2,4-DNP, N2 and serosal application of ouabain depressed the p.d. after an initial hyperpolarization. This decrease was reversible during recovery from 2,4-DNP and N2, but irreversible after removal of ouabain at concentrations greater than or equal to 10(-4) M. Mucosal application of ETCA (10(-3) M) caused no decrease in p.d., which actually increased slightly. 5. Calculated passive serosal-to-mucosal Na+-fluxes changed in the same direction as did changes in conductance. 6. It is concluded that ETCA does not interfere primarily with the Na-K-ATPase or cellular oxidative metabolism. The data support the proposal that the pump responsible for isosmotic transepithelial fluid transfer is located in the luminal end of the cells. This pump is ETCA-sensitive. The ATPase-dependent Na-K pump, which can be inhibited by ouabain, is localized in the serosa-facing cell membrane. The data suggest that the inhibition of net fluid transport by ouabain is indirect and mediated by changes in intracellular ion concentrations. 7. The results support the concept that the transepithelial fluid transport mechanism is electroneutral, and suggest that the mucosa positive transepithelial p.d. is due to differences in electromotive forces arising from ion (mainly K+) diffusion across the mucosal and serosal cell membranes.

The kinetic properties of the nonmitochondrial ATP-dependent Ca sequestering mechanism in disrupted nerve terminal (synaptosome) preparations have been investigated with radioactive tracer techniques; all solutions contained DNP, NaN3, and oligomycin, to block mitochondrial Ca uptake. The apparent half-saturation constant, KCa, for the nonmitochondrial Ca uptake is approximately 0.4 micrometer Ca; the Hill coefficient is approximately 1.6. Mg is also required for the Ca uptake, and the apparent KMg is approximately 80 micrometer. ATP and deoxy-ATP, but not CTP, GTP, ITP, UTP, ADP, or cyclic AMP, promote Ca uptake; the KATP, is approximately 10 micrometer. ATP analogs with blocked gamma-phosphate groups are unable to replace ATP. Particulate fractions from the disrupted synaptosomes possess Ca-dependent ATPase activity in the presence of Mg; the apparent KCa for this activity is 0.4--0.8 micrometer Ca, and the Hill coefficient is approximately 1.6. The Ca uptake and ATPase kinetic data suggest that the hydrolysis of 1 ATP may energize the transport of two Ca2+ ions into the storage vesicles. The second part of the article concerns the intraterminal distribution of Ca in "intact" terminals. When the terminals are disrupted after 45Ca loading, about one-half of the 45Ca is retained in the particulate material; some of this Ca, presumably stored in mitochondria, is released by the uncoupler, FCCP. Some of the 45Ca is released by A-23187, but not by FCCP; this fraction may be Ca stored in the nonmitochondrial sites described above. The proportion of 45Ca stored in the nonmitochondrial sites is increased when the Ca load is reduced or when the mitochondria are blocked with ruthenium red. These data indicate that the nonmitochondrial Ca storage sites are involved in intraterminal Ca buffering; they may play an important role in synaptic facilitation and post-tetanic potentiation, which result from Ca retention after neural activity.

Electron transfer and oxidative phosphorylation were studied as affected by tinalkyls. It is shown that all of them inhibit effectively respiration of the rat liver mitochondria. The action of bis(tributyl tin)oxide and dibutyl diisooctyl thioglycolate tin on the mitochondria in a state of dissociation is localized in the terminal step of the respiration chain. The other alkyls act in the site located before cytocrome c. The effect of bis (tributyl tin) oxide on both the ADP-activated respiration and DNP-activated ATPase of intact mitochondria is similar to that of oligomycin. These effects might be explained by the presence two electrophilic centres in a molecule of this compound.

Addition of glucose and other sugars to derepressed cells of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum var. lini triggered activation of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase within 5 min. Glucose was the best activator while galactose and lactose had a lesser effect. The activation was not prevented by previous addition of cycloheximide and it was fully reversible when the glucose was removed. The activation process in vivo also caused changes in the kinetic properties of the enzyme. The non-activated enzyme had an apparent Km of about 3.2 mM for ATP whereas the activated enzyme showed an apparent Km of 0.26 mM. In addition, the pH optimum of the H(+)-ATPase changed from 6.0 to 7.5 upon activation. The activated enzyme was more sensitive to inhibition by vanadate. When F. oxysporum was cultivated in media containing glucose as the major carbon source, enhanced H(+)-ATPase activity was largely confined to the period corresponding to the lag phase, i.e. just before the start of acidification of the medium. This suggests that the activation process might play a role in the onset of extracellular acidification. Addition of glucose to F. oxysporum var. lini cells also caused an increase in the cAMP level. No reliable increase could be demonstrated for the other sugars. Addition of proton ionophores such as DNP and CCCP at pH 5.0 caused both a large increase in the intracellular level of cAMP and in the activity of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. Inhibition of the DNP-induced increase in the cAMP level by acridine orange also resulted in inhibition of the activation of plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Oxidative phosphorylation of liver mitochondria in Oncomelania snail was separately detected by using oxygen electrode and spectrophotometer. ADP increased oxidative reaction of liver mitochondria from 0.187 to 0.318 mumol O2/mg protein.20 min. When certain substrates of citric acid cycle were added to liver mitochondria of Oncomelania snail, we found that oxidative phosphorylation increased to 0.353-0.444 mumol O2/mg protein.20 min. ATPase was detected in the liver of Oncomelania snail. The oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria in Oncomelania snail could be markedly inhibited by DNP and molluscicide bromoacetamide, but the latter didn't show the inhibition of ATPase. (Figs. 1,2).

Saline extracts of burn eschar (CEBE) and normal skin (CENS) caused inhibition to mitochondrial respiration and inner membrane function. Ethyl acetate extracts from CEBE (D1) and CENS (D'1) caused depression of the Respiratory Control Ratio, (RCR), an inhibition of respiration rate in state 3 and stimulation to state 4 respiration. Excellent linear correlations exist between the degree of inhibition to state 3, rate of stimulation to state 4 respiration and the logarithm of doses of D1 and D'1. The effective dose ranges (0.75-0.25 mg/ml for D1 and 4-1 mg/ml for D'1) differ by one order of magnitude. The activity of NADH dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase of mitochondria after incubation with the highest toxic dose of D1 or D'1 remained normal. Dinitrophenol (DNP)-stimulated respiration was moderately inhibited by D1 and D'1. No change of oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity was demonstrated. Exogenous malondialdehyde (MDA) did not show any inhibitory effect. Preliminary studies show that D1 contains a family of free fatty acids (FFA). Incubation of normal mitochondria with D1 increased the content of saturated FFA and a decrease of unsaturated FFA. The role of other peroxidative products is under investigation.

We studied alterations in respiratory activity of mitochondria (Mt) in non-infarcted myocardium (NIZ) under severe pump failure complicated by acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Dogs in which AMI was induced were divided into two groups; one in which left ventricular systolic pressure (LVPs) was maintained higher than 70% of preligation level (ND group); and one in which LVPs was diminished to less than 70% (D group). Regional myocardial blood flow (MBF) in NIZ reduced significantly in proportion to decreases in LVPs and cardiac output (CO). State -III activity and RCR decreased in proportion to reductions in MBF, LVPs, and CO in Mt from NIZ of D group. Complex-I and DNP-stimulated ATPase activities were also reduced in NIZ of D group. Morphologic studies revealed slight swelling and fusion of mitochondria in NIZ cells of D group, but no changes such as the appearance of a dense deposit indicating ischemic damage were seen. Pump failure in AMI is likely to be caused partly by impaired function of Mt in NIZ induced by hypoperfusion. Improvement of metabolic impairment in NIZ is important in the treatment of pump failure.

The mechanism by which anoxia blocks impulse conduction was studied in isolated sciatic nerves from the rat. The desheathed nerve was mounted in a recording chamber, and the compound action potential (CAP) was measured at controlled temperature (23 and 37 degrees C). When the nerve was irrigated with nitrogenated Ringer's solution compound action potential decreased to 50% in 10 min at 37 degrees C and in 35 min at 23 degrees C, whereas in oxygenated solution compound action potential decreased less than 5% in 60 min. A Na-free nitrogenated solution similarly caused anoxic block, that is the effect was independent of impulse activity. Ouabain (1 mM) decreased compound action potential by only ca. 4% in 30 min, and the effect of anoxia was delayed in presence of ouabain. Dinitrophenol (0.05 mM) reduced compound action potential to 50% in 5 min. These findings indicated that the anoxic block was not related to changes in axonal concentration of Na or K following impulse activity or inhibition of Na-K-ATPase. Instead the findings imply that the anoxic block is due to inactivation of Na-channels as a consequence of inhibition of another ATP-dependent process in the axon.

The effect of calf blood extract (Solcoseryl, SS) on mitochondrial oxidative function in various states was studied polarographically in vitro. 1) Mitochondrial respiration in all 4 conventional study states (Estabrook, 1967) was enhanced by the addition of SS, including states 1 and 2 (endogenous substrates only). 2) The effect of SS on mitochondrial oxygen consumption was concentration dependent, while ADP/O ratio remained constant. The effect of added respiratory substrates varied with the particular substrate at optimally active concentrations. With suboptimal substrate levels, ADP/O ratios were concentration dependent, in contrast to the SS effect. Under oligomycin ATPase inhibition, SS was no longer active, in contrast to DNP, which remained active. 3) In states 3 (added ADP) and 4 (ADP exhausted), oxygen consumption and oxidative phosphorylation were enhanced by SS in the presence or absence of citrate, glutamate, pyruvate, lactate, or ascorbate. However, in the presence of succinate, SS had no effect. 4) ADP/O ratio was decreased by SS in the presence of added substrate, suggesting that SS activation of H(+)-ATPase enhances ATP hydrolysis as well as oxidative phosphorylation and ATP synthesis. 5) The enhancing effect of SS on mitochondrial function is due to hydrophilic components of SS. The lipidic components obtained by Folch fraction of SS have no effect. It is concluded that the effects of SS respiratory substrates and uncouplers on mitochondrial function are essentially different. SS enhances both ATP synthesis and oxygen consumption by mitochondria.
