Cholesterol of red blood cells (RBC) is readily exchanged by desmosterol and vice versa. The resulting alteration in the sterol composition influences the specific (Na+ plus K+)-ATPase activity. It is suggested that this effect is due to an altered membrane fluidity.

Abnormalities have been noticed in the phospholipid and cholesterol composition of the atrophied gastrocnemius muscle of frog denervated for 1 month. Cholesterol : phospholipid molar ratios in the muscle increased on denervation. Sphingomyelin and cardiolipin fractions increased in contrast to phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of denervated muscle. Na-azide sensitive Ca2+ ATPase activity of the mitochondria did not alter whereas that of SR decreased on denervation. Phospholipase C digestion impaired the organelle Ca2+-ATPase activity. The above abnormalities in enzyme activities have been correlated to the changes in the lipid composition of the denervated muscle. On the basis of these changes it is discussed that the primary change in the muscle due to denervation is the change in the permeability of the membrane.

Deuterium Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra at 34 MHz (corresponding to a magnetic field strength of 5.2 T) have been obtained of a variety of protein-lipid systems containing specifically deuterated phospholipids. The following systems were investigated as a function of temperature: sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) complexed with 1-myristoyl-2-(14,14,14-trideuteriomyristoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC-d3) or 1,2-bis(16,16,16-trideuteriopalmitoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC-k6); human brain lipophilin complexed with DPPC-d6 or 1,2-bis(6,6-dideuteriopalmitoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC-6,6-d4); beef brain myelin proteolipid apoprotein (PLA) reconstituted with DMPC labeled as CD2 (or CD3) at one or more of positions 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 of the sn-2 chain. For purposes of comparison, spectra were also obtained for bilayers containing cholesterol (CHOL). The results show that proteins either disorder or have little effect on hydrocarbon chain order in membranes above the gel to liquid-crystal phase transition temperature (Tc) of the pure lipids. Cholesterol, however, causes a very large ordering of the hydrocarbon chains above Tc, but both cholesterol and protein prevent chain crystallization (by effectively disordering chain packing) immediately below Tc. No evidence for any ordered "boundary lipid" in association with protein was found above Tc, perhaps due to the rough nature of protein surfaces. Above Tc, exchange between free bilayer and protein associated lipid is fast on the time scale of the deuterium NMR experiment (greater than or similar to 10(3) s-1). We have also obtained proton-decoupled phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at 60.7 MHz (corresponding to a magnetic field strength of 3.5 T) of DMPC, DMPC-AT-Pase, and DMPC-CHOL complexes. The results indicate that ATPase and CHOL CAUSE SMALL DECREASES IN 31P chemical shielding anisotropies but that in addition ATPase causes a four- to fivefold increase in 31P spin-lattice and Carr-Purcell spin-spin relaxation rates, suggesting the possibility of polar group protein-lipid interaction leading to increased correlation times in the region of the lipid phosphate head group.

Erythrocyte ghosts of male persons of two age groups, younger than thirty and older than seventy years, were analyzed to investigate the imfluence of age on lipid composition, the physical state of the lipid phase, Na+K+-ATPase activity and sialic acid content. The phospholipid content in red cell membranes of old donors is significantly lower than in young ones. Cholesterol and fatty acid compositions shows no difference between the two donor groups. The membrane fluidity in liposomes prepared from total lipids of old donor decreased. No significant difference in lipid composition and membrane fluidity reflected by the spin labels was observed between blood group A and O. The activity of Na+K+-ATPase of the young donors with blood group A is significantly higher than those of old donors. The results also demonstrate a decrease of sialic acid content of red cells of old donors.

Four different oil-based diets were used in a feeding study involving rats to assess the relationship between the fatty acid composition of the dietary fat and its influence on erythrocyte membrane (EM) lipid composition and the activities of membrane-bound enzymes. Nutritionally adequate diets containing 20% groundnut (GNO), coconut (CO), safflower (SO), or mustard oil (MO) were fed to weanling CFY rats for 4 months. EMs were analyzed for total cholesterol, phospholipids, fatty acid profiles, and sialic acid content. Activities of membrane-bound enzymes such as Na+, K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), Mg(2+)-ATPase, Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase, and acetylcholinesterase were also assayed. The activities of all membrane-bound enzymes, except Mg(2+)-ATPase, and sialic acid content were higher in the MO-fed group than in the rest of the groups. Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase activity was distinctly lower in the SO-fed group than in the other groups. Cholesterol to phospholipid molar ratio was similar in all the groups. However, SO- and MO-fed groups displayed an increased cholesterol content and a higher degree of unsaturation in the membrane fatty acid composition. The higher membrane fatty acid unsaturation in the SO-fed group was principally due to linoleic (18:2) and arachidonic (20:4) acids, while in the MO-fed group it was mainly due to oleic (18:1), eicosenoic (20:1), erucic (22:1), and linoleic (18:2) acids. These results suggest a relationship between the quality of dietary fat, EM fatty acyl composition, and the activities of membrane-bound enzymes.

Cholesterol oxidation products (oxysterols), such as cholestan-3 beta,5 alpha,6 beta-triol (Triol), may be atherogenic by altering the barrier function of the vascular endothelium. We have shown that incubation of endothelial cell monolayers with Triol increased transendothelial albumin transfer (i.e., decreased barrier function) in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Such dysfunction of endothelium could result from alterations in membrane characteristics, including changes in membrane-associated enzyme activities. To test this hypothesis, endothelial monolayers were treated with 20 microM Triol and the activities of selected membrane enzymes were measured at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours. Calcium-adenosine triphosphatase (Ca(++)-ATPase) and sodium, potassium, magnesium-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+, Mg(++)-ATPase) activities were significantly increased after 4 or 2 hours incubation with 20 microM Triol, respectively. 5'-nucleotidase activity was significantly elevated only after a 24-hour exposure to Triol, whereas there was no change in angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity in response to 20 microM Triol treatment at any time studied. Compared with all concentrations tested 40 microM Triol increased Ca(++)-ATPase activity most markedly, with a significant increase already after a 2-hour exposure. No major morphological changes were noted until 12 hours of exposure to 20 microM Triol; obvious cellular damage was observed by 24 hours. Cultures treated with Triol for 24 hours showed significant signs of toxicity, measured by an elevated [3H]adenine release, compared with control cultures. These data demonstrate that Triol alters the activity of certain membrane-bound enzymes, particularly Na+, K+, Mg(++)-ATPase and Ca(++)-ATPase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Cholesterol/egg phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes (1:1 or 4:1, M/M), in which the absolute amount of PC was adjusted to be the same, were incubated with cultured bovine arterial smooth muscle cells for up to 8 h at 37 degrees C. The effect of increased cellular cholesterol on the accumulation of intracellular calcium in these cells was studied. The results indicate that the intracellular calcium content, measured by Fura-2/AM, was increased 2.3-fold by incubation with 4:1, cholesterol/PC liposomes. Kinetic analysis using 45Ca2+ indicated that the increased calcium influx was due to increase of pool size, not from a change of rate constant. (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity was decreased by 4:1, cholesterol/PC liposomes. The molar ratio of cholesterol/phospholipids in the cell membranes was directly proportional to that in liposomes. No change in phospholipid composition was noted. We suggest that the accumulation of intracellular calcium was a composite result due to the altering effect of inserted cholesterol on surface area, and to direct interactions between cholesterol and the proteins of the Ca2+ channel and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase.

The antiulcerogenic drug ranitidine, given orally to mice, brought about reductions of kidney-bound hydrolytic enzymes at three different dose levels, viz. 10 mg, 100 mg, and 1000 mg/kg body weight, and for three different time points (single administration for 2 h and 24 h, and daily administration for 15 days). The activities of Na+, K(+)-ATPase, Ca2(+)-ATPase, and Mg2(+)-ATPase (marker enzymes of basolateral membranes) were reduced, and these reductions were significant at higher doses and after a 24-h single treatment or 15 days' daily treatment. Maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and leucine aminopeptidase (marker enzymes of brush border membrane [BBM]) activities were significantly inhibited after ranitidine treatment. Kinetic analysis of BBM-associated enzymes indicated that ranitidine decreased the maximum of apparent initial enzyme velocity (Vmax) of maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and leucine aminopeptidase. The substrate affinity constant (Km) was decreased in the case of alkaline phosphatase and maltase, while it was not altered in the case of leucine aminopeptidase. In vitro addition of ranitidine to renal BBM also produced significant inhibition of these enzymes, the inhibition constants (Ki) for maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and leucine aminopeptidase being 7.5, 15.5, and 3.5 mM, respectively. Membrane-bound lipid estimation showed a significant increase in phospholipids, triglycerides, and free fatty acids. Cholesterol, however, was decreased in both renal basolateral and brush border membranes.

The acetylcholine receptor (AChR)-containing electroplax membranes from Torpedo californica have a relatively high cholesterol content. Reconstitution studies suggest that this cholesterol may be important in preserving or modulating the function of the acetylcholine receptor-channel complex. We have manipulated cholesterol levels in intact Torpedo AChR-rich membrane fragments using small, unilamellar phosphatidylcholine liposomes. Conditions have been established that allow further subfractionation of sucrose gradient purified Torpedo electroplax membranes into AChR-rich and ATPase-rich populations and that, at the same time, achieve cholesterol depletion without phospholipid back exchange or fusion. The incubation of membranes with excess liposomes could only achieve about a 50% reduction in the molar ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid. In no case was the number of cholesterol molecules per AChR oligomer reduced below 36. The remaining cholesterol could not be depleted either by longer incubations or by multiple, sequential depletions. Cholesterol depletion was accompanied by a significant increase in bulk membrane fluidity as measured by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, but the equilibrium binding parameters of acetylcholine to its receptor were unaltered. This suggests strongly that there exist two pools of cholesterol in the AChR-rich Torpedo electroplax membrane: an easily depleted fraction that influences bulk fluidity, and a tightly-bound fraction perhaps surrounding the AChR oligomer.

Cholesterol was studied in experiments in vitro for its effect on the activity of Na, K-ATPase of the synaptic brain membranes of rats and a crystalline preparation of glutamate dehydrogenase from the liver mitochondria of a bull. Cholesterol decreased the activity of the above enzymes. When blocking guanidine groups of arginine residues of Na, K-ATPase and glutamate dehydrogenase the inhibiting action of cholesterol was absent. The obtained data evidence for the possibility of a direct interaction of cholesterol with membrane enzymes as well as for the important significance of guanidine groups of arginine residues of proteins in the process.
