Subcellular microcompartmentation underlies the proposed phosphorylcreatine shuttle mechanism in mammalian cardiac tissue. In mitochondria, CK coupling to oxidative phosphorylation via adenine nucleotide translocase decreases the Km for ATP and suggests both a functional and physical integration. In the present studies, substrate Km of myofibrillar CK was unaltered when determined in the intact, native state or after removal from the myofibril. In contrast to mitochondria, close spatial proximity between cardiac myofibrillar CK and ATPase is sufficient to establish phosphorylcreatine shuttle microcompartmentation.

The effects of sepsis on skeletal muscle energetics and membrane function are poorly understood, and the time course of changes in energy metabolism are unclear. To clarify these relationships, high energy phosphate ratios, intracellular pH, and phosphocreatine breakdown rates were measured in vivo in the gastrocnemius muscle of adult male Wistar rats after cecal ligation and puncture or sham operation with 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration and Na(+)-K+ ATPase and creatine kinase activities were determined in vitro. Within 24 hours, Na(+)-K+ ATPase activity increased by 60% in rats with cecal ligation and puncture, all of which had positive bacterial cultures, as compared to none of the sham-operated controls. Phosphocreatine/ATP ratios decreased by 20% in association with a quantitatively similar increase in phosphocreatine breakdown (9.7 +/- 0.5 vs 11.9 +/- 0.5 mumoles/gm wet wt/sec; p = 0.01). ATP concentrations were maintained, and intracellular pH did not change significantly. In this model, changes in phosphocreatine breakdown were not related to total creatine kinase activity, which did not change significantly, or increases in adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) concentration (62 +/- 8 vs 92 +/- 8 mumols/L; p = 0.02). Thus, in early sepsis before a measurable decrease in pH occurs, ATP is utilized at an increased rate to help maintain ionic balance and/or to support other metabolic processes. Phosphocreatine stores are used to buffer ATP concentrations.

We have studied the effects of hypo- and hyperthyroidism on sarcolemmal (SL) and sarcoplasmic reticular (SR) ion transport processes and mitochondrial energy production in rat heart. The following conclusions were derived. 1) Compared with euthyroid state, hyperthyroidism led to increased SR Ca(2+)-accumulation. In SL, the activities of Ca(2+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), ATP-dependent Ca2+ pumping, and Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger were not affected; but ouabain-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was enhanced. 2) Hypothyroidism resulted in depressed activities of Ca2+ pumps both in SL and SR. In SL, the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was decreased, but Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange was unaltered. 3) Thus slower relaxation of the hypothyroid myocardium may be attributed to depressed functioning of Ca2+ pumps in SR and SL, whereas faster relaxation of the hyperthyroid heart may be based on increased Ca(2+)-pumping activity of SR. 4) Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, respectively, led to enhanced and decreased rates of mitochondrial phosphocreatine synthesis. The thyroid state appears to control the functional coupling between mitochondrial creatine kinase and ATP-ADP translocase: the energy of oxidative phosphorylation was transformed into phosphocreatine more effectively in mitochondria from hypothyroid hearts than in those from hyperthyroid hearts.

Effects of amiodarone injected intravenously (i.v.) at two doses (10 and 20 mg/kg) on perfused isovolumic rat hearts were assessed by P-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). P-31 NMR is used to measure intracellular myocardial pH, phosphocreatine (PCr), and ATP contents time evolutions. Myocardial mechanical function is estimated by heart rate (HR), left ventricular developed pressure (LVP), and coronary flow (CF). In experimental procedure A (2-h retrograde perfusion), drug injection induced a dose-dependent bradycardia (10-20%) and a slight decrease in LVP but did not affect CF, pH, PCr, or ATP contents. Experimental procedure B consisted of 30-min stabilization, 18-min ischemia, and 72-min reperfusion. During ischemia, amiodarone did not preserve ATP and PCr pools and did not alleviate acidosis. ATP decreased to 30% of its control values, whereas the PCr peak was hardly detectable after 12 min of ischemia. After 24 min of reflow, HR, PCr, and pH of treated hearts recovered. LVP recovered after 36 min, whereas for control hearts, HR, PCr, and pH recovered after 42 min and LVP did not reach its control values at the end of reperfusion time. Faster pH recovery is explained by a preservation of Na+/K+ ATPase due to the influence of amiodarone on membrane lipid dynamics.

The components of 45calcium (Ca) uptake were studied in saponin skinned rat caudal artery. The steady-state Ca content increased when the free Ca concentration was varied from 10(-8) to 10(-4) M but was reduced by azide when the free Ca concentration exceeded 3.1 microM. The azide sensitivity and low affinity for Ca were consistent with functional mitochondria. The azide-insensitive component consisted of a small bound and a larger releasable Ca fraction. After skinning in Triton X-100, approximately 4 mumol Ca/kg wet tissue remained, which represented a tightly bound but slowly exchangeable Ca pool. The Ca content was independent of the free Ca concentration and MgATP, and it was not released with A-23187 or Ca. The Ca content of the larger fraction was a higher order function of the free Ca concentration and was released with A-23187, indicating it resided within a membrane-bounded structure. Ca uptake by the releasable fraction was increased by oxalate, MgATP, phosphocreatine, temperature, phosphate, and ruthenium red and represents Ca sequestered by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) with little contribution from other Ca binding or storage sites. It is described by the coefficients Umax = 96.94 mumol/kg wet tissue, K1/2 = 0.75 microM, and Hill coefficient = 1.70. The SR in this preparation regulates cytosolic Ca concentrations under physiological conditions and can accumulate Ca by MgATP-dependent and MgATP-independent process. The larger, MgATP-dependent Ca uptake is described by the coefficients Umax = 72.87 mumol/kg wet tissue, K1/2 = 0.8 microM, and Hill coefficient = 2.09 and is consistent with Ca sequestered by the Ca-transport ATPase of smooth muscle SR. The smaller, MgATP-independent uptake is described by the coefficients Umax = 24.14 mumol/kg wet tissue, K1/2 = 0.56 microM, and Hill coefficient = 1.01 and represents Ca sequestered by an unidentified mechanism or by a subpopulation of SR.

A mathematical model is developed whereby the longitudinal magnetization of phosphocreatine (PC), ATP, Pi, and total phosphate (PT) can be calculated on the basis of assumed chemical rate constants (kappa i) and spin lattice relaxation times of the muscle PC in equilibrium ATP in equilibrium Pi exchange system. By means of this model, some unexplained 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy results from the literature (e.g., a decrease of PT in a closed system) could be explained simply on the basis of the physiological variability of kappa i. Moreover, appropriate model simulations indicate that 1) 31P-NMR spectra obtained with short relaxation delays may be influenced to various extents by the metabolic and physicochemical status of the muscle; 2) the assessment of kappa i by standard NMR spectroscopy techniques may be extremely critical; 3) delta PC/delta Pi, as obtained from conventional 31P-NMR spectra, may represent a sensible index of kappa 2 (the pseudo first-order chemical exchange rate constant of the adenosinetriphosphatase reaction); 4) delta PC/delta Pi changes as detected from sequential (short relaxation delays) 31P-NMR spectra obtained in humans during metabolic transients (e.g., during transition from rest to work and vice versa) may represent an index of transient changes of kappa 2.

Adding kinetics to the model of the phosphate energy system [Connett. Am. J. Physiol. 254 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 23): R949-R959, 1988], we provide a framework for analyzing metabolic transients in muscle tissue. We modify the formalism of the earlier model and introduce a buffering factor, which measures buffering of adenine nucleotides by phosphocreatine. The time course of the phosphate energy state can be calculated given the following: 1) adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) rate, 2) pH, and 3) a mitochondrial driving function, i.e., ATP production in terms of the phosphate energy state. We use mitochondrial driving functions derived from steady-state measurements to predict the time courses for rest-work transitions. Predictions for transitions in the rat gastrocnemius muscle agree with published values. The model is used to test different existing hypotheses of oxygen consumption (VO2) regulation. Each hypothesis generates a specific mitochondrial driving function, which in turn generates a specific time course of phosphate energy state during transitions. A mitochondrial driving function based on enzyme kinetics with ADP as a substrate leads to time courses not matching the data. Mitochondrial driving functions that are linear with phosphocreatine, Pi, phosphorylation potential, or the pool of high-energy phosphate bonds (phosphate potential energy) gave good agreement with the data.

Isolated working rat hearts were subjected to 20 min of global ischaemia and either 5 min or 15 min of reperfusion. The subcellular distribution of ATP, ADP, AMP, phosphocreatine and Pi were determined before and after ischaemia by the method of non-aqueous tissue fractionation. Ventricular function and the cytosolic, mitochondrial and ATPase-associated compartmentation of metabolites were measured. After 5 min of reperfusion, only 13 +/- 9% of the pre-ischaemic contractile function was restored compared to 67 +/- 8% after 15 min reperfusion. ATP was reduced in all cellular compartments after 5 min of reperfusion but was only decreased from pre-ischaemic values in the cytosolic compartment after 15 min of reperfusion (17.1 +/- 3.9 nmol/mg vs. 4.3 +/- 1.5 nmol/mg total protein; P less than 0.05). The mitochondrial [ATP]/[ADP] was reduced from a normal value of 4.36 to 1.79 after 5 min but recovered to 4.62 after 15 min of reperfusion. Most of the Pi was located in the mitochondria or with the ATPase fraction of the cell, with only 16% of the total Pi free in the cytosol. This study indicates that the capacity of the heart to recover function may be compromised during early reperfusion by a 59% increase in mitochondrial phosphate content and during late reperfusion by a reduced cytosolic/mitochondrial concentration ratio of both ATP (from 0.85 to 0.19) and phosphocreatine (from 3.9 to 1.24).

The in vivo activation and turnover rates of the sodium pump (Na+, K(+)-ATPase) were investigated in the electrocytes of the electric organ of the elasmobranch Narcine brasiliensis. The Narcine electric organ appears to be an excellent model for the study of sodium pump activation in an excitable tissue. The sodium transmembrane gradient and high-energy phosphagens were concurrently measured by 23Na and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The resting electric organ, which depends primarily on anaerobic metabolism, displays a high concentration of phosphocreatine (PCr). It has an intracellular sodium concentration ([Na+]i) of 20 +/- 10 milliequivalents/liter as estimated by NMR. Electrical stimulation of the nerves innervating the electric organ results in an increase in [Na+]i in the electrolyte and rapid depletion of PCr. Ouabain causes an 85% decrease in utilization of high-energy phosphagens, indicating that rapid PCr turnover in this tissue is mainly due to Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity. From these data we can determine that the rate of sodium pump turnover increases by greater than 3 orders of magnitude within several hundred milliseconds. In excised unstimulated electric organ slices, changes in [Na+]i equivalent to those occurring with stimulation, but induced by hyperosmolar conditions, do not result in increased PCr hydrolysis. We conclude that cholinergic stimulation of the electric organ causes a rapid and extremely large increase in sodium pump turnover, which is regulated predominantly by factors other than [Na+]i.

The relationships between Na/K pump activity and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production were determined in isolated rat brain synaptosomes. The activity of the enzyme was modulated by altering [K+]e, [Na+]i, and [ATP]i while synaptosomal oxygen uptake and lactate production were measured simultaneously. KCl increased respiration and glycolysis with an apparent Km of about 1 mM which suggests that, at the [K+]e normally present in brain, 3.3-4 mM, the pump is near saturation with this cation. Depolarization with 6-40 mM KCl had negligible effect on ouabain-sensitive O2 uptake indicating that at the voltages involved the activity of the Na/K ATPase is largely independent of membrane potential. Increases in [Na+]i by addition of veratridine markedly enhanced glycoside-inhibitable respiration and lactate production. Calculations of the rates of ATP synthesis necessary to support the operation of the pump showed that greater than 90% of the energy was derived from oxidative phosphorylation. Consistent with this: (a) the ouabain-sensitive Rb/O2 ratio was close to 12 (i.e., Rb/ATP ratio of 2); (b) inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthesis by Amytal resulted in a decrease in the glycoside-dependent rate of 86Rb uptake. Analyses of the mechanisms responsible for activation of the energy-producing pathways during enhanced Na and K movements indicate that glycolysis is predominantly stimulated by increase in activity of phosphofructokinase mediated via a rise in the concentrations of adenosine monophosphate [AMP] and inorganic phosphate [Pi] and a fall in the concentration of phosphocreatine [PCr]; the main moving force for the elevation in mitochondrial ATP generation is the decline in [ATP]/[ADP] [Pi] (or equivalent) and consequent readjustments in the ratio of the intramitochondrial pyridine nucleotides [( NAD]m/[NADH]m). Direct stimulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase by calcium appears to be of secondary importance. It is concluded that synaptosomal Na/K pump is fueled primarily by oxidative phosphorylation and that a fall in [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] is the chief factor responsible for increased energy production.
