The influence of various toxic substances and of drugs with ototoxic side effects upon energy generation, energy utilization, and membrane processes of the cochlea were studied. None of the drugs tested interfered with energy generation to as great an extent as did anoxia or cyanide and 2,4-dinitrophenol. Ouabain produced a pronounced interference with energy utilization of the stria vascularis. The "loop" diuretics ethacrynic acid and furosemide produced a reduction of energy utilization of a lesser degree than did ouabain. The "loop" diuretics do not seem to exert their toxic action upon strial Na+K+-ATPase, but may act by interfering with strial adenylate cyclase. Aminoglycoside antibiotics and diuretic and nondiuretic mercurials seem to exert their primary noxious action upon cochlear function by interfering with membrane processes of the structures bounding the cochlear duct.

The sarcolemma preparations isolated from the skeletal muscles of the normal rabbits and those with E-avitaminosis are characterized by electron microscopy according to the activity of 5-nucleotidase and different ATPase systems. As the data of electron microscopy evidence, the sarcolemma preparations of the normal and dystrophic muscles are deprived of admixtures of other subsellular structures. The 5-nucleotidase activity in the sarcolemma of dystrophic muscles is almost thrice as high as in the sarcolemma of normal muscles. On the basis of the results of studies in the kinetic parameters the optimal conditions are selected to investigate the Mg2+, Ca2+ and Na+, K+-ATPase activity. It is shown that under dystrophy the ATPase activity in the sarcolemma preparations in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ does not change as compared to the norm. As to the Mg2+-dependent Na+, K+-ATPase system its activity in sarcolemma of muscles under dystrophy lowers noticeably. Ouabain-sensitive Na+, K+-ATPase of sarcolemma under dystrophy is considerably lower than at the normal level and is 4.1 and 12.1 mumol and phi n per 1 mg of protein for 1 h, respectively. Proceeding from the data on the changes in the lipid composition of sarcolemma of muscles with E-avitaminous dystrophy a problem is under discussion concerning dependence of the transport Na+, K+-ATPase activity on the structure of sarcolemma.

The localization of Na+-pump sites (Na+-K+-ATPase) in the frog skin epithelium was determined by a freeze-dry radioautographic method for identifying [3H]ouabain-binding sites. Ventral pelvic skins of Rana catesbeiana were mounted in Ussing chambers and exposed to 10(-6) M [3H]ouabain for 120 min, washed in ouabain-free Ringer's solution for 60 min, and then processed for radioautography. Ouabain-binding sites were localized on the inward facing (serosal) membranes of all the living cells. Quantitative analysis of grain distribution showed that the overwhelming majority of Na+-pump sites were localized deep to the outer living cell layer, i.e., in the stratum spinosum and stratum germinativum. Binding of ouabain was correlated with inhibition of Na+ transport. Specificity of ouabain binding to Na+-K+-ATPase was verified by demonstrating its sensitivity to the concentration of ligands (K+, ATP) that affect binding of ouabain to the enzyme. Additional studies supported the conclusion that the distribution of bound ouabain reflects the distribution of those pumps involved in the active transepithelial transport of Na+. After a 30-min exposure to [3H]ouabain, Na+ transport declined to a level that was significantly less than that in untreated paired controls, and analysis of grain distribution showed that over 90% of the ouabain-binding sites were localized to the inner cell layers. Furthermore, in skins where Na+ transport had been completely inhibited by exposure to 10(-5) M ouabain, the grain distribution was identical to that in skins exposed to 10(-6) M. The results support a model which depicts all the living cell layers functioning as a syncytium with regard to the active transepithelial transport of Na+.

Many drugs or chemicals had markedly different effects on the cytotoxicity induced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PE) or Corynebacterium diphtheriae exotoxin (DE). The glycolytic inhibitor NaF protected cells from DE but potentiated the cytotoxicity of PE. Another energy inhibitor, salicylic acid, also protected cells from DE but had no effect with PE. Colchicine and colcemid did not affect the cytotoxicity of either toxin. Cytochalasin B exhibited a modest protection from DE but no effect with PE. Ouabain, a specific inhibitor of the Na+, K+-dependent adenosine 5'-triphosphatase (ATPase), did not affect the cytotoxicity of either toxin. Ruthenium red, a specific inhibitor of the Ca2+, Mg2+,-dependent ATPase, conferred marked protection from DE-induced cytotoxicity but did not affect PE-induced cytotoxicity. A number of local anesthetics were tested, and they too presented differential results with PE and DE. Most chemicals that affected toxin-induced cytotoxicity had little or no influence on the in vitro adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribosylation catalyzed by either toxin. This work presents further evidence that PE and DE have different mechanisms of intoxication and suggests that these differences lie in the attachment or internalization stages of intoxication.

The effects of ouabain 10(-6) M on rat and guinea pig hearts have been studied at 18 degrees C, in order to reduce almost fully both the Na+, K+-dependent ATPase activity and the ouabain induced inhibition of this enzyme. In isolated guinea pig hearts the positive inotropic response to ouabain obtained at 32 degrees C disappeared at 18 degrees C. On the contrary, the contractile strength of rat hearts was slightly reduced by ouabain and in the same manner at both temperatures. Current and voltage clamp experiments carried out at 18 degrees C in ventricular fibres revealed that ouabain 10(-6) M decreased both the action potential overshoot and the fast sodium current in rat and guinea pig, by reduction of the membrane sodium conductance. Ouabain did not change the calcium current in guinea pig preparations, whereas in rat heart muscle this current was reduced. The effects of ouabain on both the action potential plateau and outward repolarizing current indicated some inconsistencies from preparation to preparation and cannot therefore be considered as significant. The persistence of the ouabain induced alterations of g Na (in rat and guinea pig) and calcium current (in rat) at 18 degrees C supports the hypothesis of two ouabain cell receptors in heart muscle.

Membrane preparations from two independent ouabain-resistant HeLa cell clones, HI-B1 and HI-C1, each appear to contain two species of (Na,K)ATPase. Two-thirds of the total (Na,K)ATPase in each mutant is indistinguishable from the enzyme in preparations of wild type cells with respect to ouabain binding, ouabain inhibition of (Na,K)ATPase activity, and dependence of ATP hydrolysis on Na, Mg, K, and ATP concentration. The remaining (Na,K)ATPase activity in the mutants is up to 1000 and 10 000 times, respectively, more resistant to ouabain than wild type enzyme. Resistance results from a lower affinity of the mutant enzymes for the inhibitor. The presence of Na, K, or Mg has little or no effect on the degree of resistance expressed by the mutant enzymes, although the resistance of the wild type enzyme varies 400-fold in the presence of different ligands. Incubation with 5 X 10(-8) M ouabain abolishes the activity of the wild type enzyme without affecting the activity of the resistant enzymes. Using this procedure we compared the parameters of ATP hydrolysis via the resistant and wild type enzymes. Ouabain-resistant (Na,K)ATPase of HI-C1 has an apparent K0.5 for potassium 3-4 times higher than that of either wild type enzyme or the resistant enzyme of HI-B1.

Depletion of divalent cations before fractionation of the longitudinal muscle of the guinea pig ileum yielded a sarcolemma-enriched microsomal fraction free of mitochondria. A major portion of the ATPase activity in the presence of Mg, Na, and K was due to stimulation by Na alone. A further small stimulation by K was demonstrated only in the presence of an activating factor from the 105 000 X g supernatant. Ouabain inhibited only the K activation and had no effect on the Na-stimulated Mg-ATPase.

Isotonic Tris-HCl containing 10 mM LaCl3 at 4 degrees C effectively removed extracellular ions in 30 min while preventing loss of intracellular ions. Intracellular Ca and Na increased during the contraction in the presence of 10 mM ouabain and then decreased during relaxation. Intracellular Na increased again during the latter part of the relaxation phase when K loss became apparent. Mg levels remained essentially constant. Ouabain responses were rapidly lost in Ca-free medium indicating that they were dependent on extracellular Ca. A 5.5-fold increase in the normal levels of extracellular K did not reduce the contraction to a submaximal dose of ouabain. A full phasic response to high K (60 mM) was observed after a 10-min exposure of the tissue to ouabain, at which time the ouabain response had returned to basal tension. The contraction to ouabain appears to be dissociated from inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase at the K site. The changes in intracellular ions indicated that ouabain contracted the muscle by increasing the plasma membrane permeability to Ca and Na and later decreased the K and Na concentration gradients, probably by inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase.

The specific binding of tritiated ouabain was used to estimate the density of Na+-K+-ATPase sites ("Na+-pump" sites) in segments of skeletal muscle from normal and dystrophic mice. Ouabain binding was approximately 4 times greater in red (soleus) muscle than in white (superficial gastrocnemius) muscle from normal animals. In dystrophic soleus muscles, ouabain binding was decreased by nearly one-half. Because Na+-K+-ATPase activity is associated with plasma membranes, these observations constitute further evidence for a sarcolemmal abnormality in dystrophic mice.

The reaction of the oxygen isotope exchange (18O-exchange) was studied in the course of the Na, K-ATPase reaction. It was shown that the intermediary and direct 18O-exchanges occurred in the system in the presence of both ATP and p-NPP. These findings are indicative of the same intermediate during the hydrolytic process in both cases. The intermediary 18O-exchange was activated by N-ethylmaleimide, hydroxylamine and 2.0--1.5 18O atoms, respectively. The detection of 18O-exchange Ouabain had no effect on the exchange. The levels of intermediary 18O-exchange during ATP and p-NPP hydrolyses were equal to 1.3--1.4 and 2.0--1.5 18O atoms, respectively. The detection of 18O-exchange reactions at the intermediary steps of both ATP and p-NPP hydrolyses implies the identity of certain stages in the destruction of these substrates by Na, K-ATPase.
