Chronic administration of ethanol to rats leads to an increase in the rate of ethanol metabolism in vivo and in vitro. In vitro studies in liver slices showed that ouabain, an inhibitor of the Na++K+-activated adenosine triphosphatase, can completely block the extra ethanol metabolism in the livers of the treated animals only in the presence of ouabain. Administration of thyroxine led to an increase in the rate of ethanol metabolism when measured both in vitro and in vivo. This effect was biphasic; an activation occurred only with low doses of thyroxine but disappeared after administration of larger doses. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity in the liver of the animals treated with large doses of thyroxine was found to be significantly reduced. With the doses used (50-1000 mug/kg), thyroxine also increased the rate of oxygen consumption as measured in liver slices. However, a biphasic effect did not occur; a near maximum activation on the rate of oxygen consumption occurred with low doses of thyroxine (100 mug/kg). Oxygen consumption was also found to be increased in the liver of animals chronically treated with ethanol. A maximal effect was produced after 18 to 21 days of treatment. For both ethanol and thyroxine-treated animals, an increased rate of oxygen consumption occurred with a concomitant loss of dinitrophenol effect. Mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate oxidase was found to be increased in the liver of animals treated with ethanol or with thyroxine. In these two groups, this enzymatic activity appeared to be less affected by the treatment than the dinitrophenol-activated respiration.

The effect of octylguanidine and oligomycin on the oxygen uptake of rat liver mitochondria and on the ATPase activity of "sonic" submitochondrial particles has been studied. 1. Octylguanidine inhibits state 3 respiration with glutamate-malate and succinate as substrates, but much lower concentrations are required to inhibit oxygen uptake with the former substrates. State 4 respiration is unaffected by octylguanidine. 2. The titration-curve for the octylguanidine inhibition of glutamate-malate oxidation is hyperbolic and apparently biphasic, half-maximal inhibition is obtained at 30 muM octylguanidine. The octylguanidine-curve for inhibition of succinate oxidation is sigmoid with half-maximal inhibition at about 250 muM. 3. Octylguanidine and oligomycin show additive inhibitory action on state 3 respiration with both glutamate plus malage and succinate as respiratory substrates. 4. Concentrations of oligomycin or octylguanidine, which added separately are ineffective on state 3 respiration, become inhibitory when the two inhibitors are added together. 5. Octylguanidine inhibits the ATPase activity of sonic submitochondrial particles with a hyperbolic titration-curve analogous to that obtained for oligomycin inhibition. The inhibitory actions of octylguanidine and oligomycin on the ATPase activity are additive. 6. It is concluded that octylguanidine acts directly on the ATPase complex and that its binding at the action site is mutually exclusive with the binding of oligomycin. A kinetic explanation is given for the reported higher sensitivity of site I phosphorylation to octylguanidine.

A method is described for the preparation of synaptosomes and synaptosomal membranes from chicken brain. Procedures for isolating rat synaptosomal membranes could not be used directly; several modifications of existing procedures are reported. Purity of the subcellular and subsynaptosomal fractions was monitored by electron microscopy and measurements of ferrocytochrome c: oxygen oxidoreductase (EC 1.9.3.)), monoamine: oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) EC 1.4.3.4), rotenone-insensitive NADH: cytochrome c oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.3), NADPH: cytochrome c oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.1), orthophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase (EC 3.1.3.2), ATP phosphohydrolase (EC 3.6.1.4), and levels of RNA. Microsomes are the main contaminant of the synaptosomal membrane fraction. Mitochondrial and lysosomal enzymes occur in lesser amounts. No myelin contamination was observed. Marker enzymes for contaminants suggest that these synaptosomal membranes are as pure as membranes described by others, and the specific activity of a neuronal membrane marker, (Na+ -K+)-activated ATPase, is as high as other preparations. Levels of this enzyme in the membrane fraction are enriched 13-fold over homogenate ATPase levels.

The influence of ConA on the energy metabolism of quiescent rat thymocytes was investigated by measuring the effects of inhibitors of protein synthesis, proteolysis, RNA/DNA synthesis, Na+K(+)-ATPase, Ca(2+)-ATPase and mitochondrial ATP synthesis on respiration. Only about 50% of the coupled oxygen consumption of quiescent thymocytes could be assigned to specific processes using two different media. Under these conditions the oxygen is mainly used to drive mitochondrial proton leak and to provide ATP for protein synthesis and cation transport, whereas oxygen consumption to provide ATP for RNA/DNA synthesis and ATP-dependent proteolysis was not measurable. The mitogen ConA produced a persistent increase in oxygen consumption by about 30% within seconds. After stimulation more than 80% of respiration could be assigned to specific processes. The major oxygen consuming processes of ConA-stimulated thymocytes are mitochondrial proton leak, protein synthesis and Na+K(+)-ATPase with about 20% each of total oxygen consumption, while Ca(2+)-ATPase and RNA/DNA synthesis contribute about 10% each. Quiescent thymocytes resemble resting hepatocytes in that most of the oxygen consumption remains unexplained. In contrast, the pattern of energy metabolism in stimulated thymocytes is similar to that described for Ehrlich Ascites tumour cells and splenocytes, which may also be in an activated state. Most of the oxygen consumption is accounted for, so the unexplained process(es) in unstimulated cells shut(s) off on stimulation.

Phosphate depletion (PD) causes impaired insulin secretion and metabolic derangements in pancreatic islets. We studied PD, pair-weighed (PW), and PD and PW rats treated with verapamil (PD-V and PW-V) to examine the mechanisms of these derangements. Cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) in PD islets was higher than that in PW, PD-V, and PW-V islets, and the values in the latter three groups were not different. Both basal and stimulated ATP in PD islets were lower than those in PW, PW-V, or PD-V islets. The maximum velocity (Vmax) of Ca(2+)-ATPase and the Km and Vmax of Na+,K(+)-ATPase were reduced in PD islets. In both PD-V and PW-V, the Vmax of Ca(2+)-ATPase was higher than that in PD, but lower than that in PW. Both initial and second phases of insulin secretion by PD islets were lower than those by PW and PW-V islets. In PD-V rats, insulin secretion was greater than that in PD rats, but only the second phase was significantly higher. The data are consistent with either of the following possibilities: 1) PD causes a change in the permeability of islets, allowing increased entry of Ca2+ into them and a fall in ATP of islets; the latter would impair the activity of both ATPases, leading to reduced Ca2+ extrusion from islets and, hence, an elevation in their [Ca2+]i; or 2) the primary defect in PD is a reduction in the activities of ATPases of islets due to the fall in ATP secondary to phosphorus deficiency. The decreased Ca2+ extrusion that ensues, even in the face of normal Ca2+ entry, will result in high [Ca2+]i. In either of these scenarios the rise in [Ca2+]i would inhibit mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production, further lowering the ATP content of the islets. The higher [Ca2+]i and low ATP of PD underlie the impaired insulin secretion. Verapamil, by blocking normal or augmented Ca2+ entry into the islets, mitigates or prevents the derangements in islet function and metabolism.

Reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) have been implicated in a variety of pathophysiological conditions, and vascular smooth muscle may be a site of damage in such oxygen toxicity. Mechanisms of the effects of these intermediates on vascular smooth muscle at the cellular level, however, have not been well studied. We have previously shown that xanthine oxidase (XO)-generated superoxide radicals (O2-.) inhibited the Ca(2+)-adenosine triphosphatase of vascular smooth muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) through mechanisms that do not involve H2O2 or hydroxyl radicals. In the present study, we report that the D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release from bovine aortic SR was also affected by O2-(.). Hypoxanthine (100 microM) plus XO (10 mU/ml) in the presence of catalase (100 U/ml) stimulated the IP3-induced Ca2+ release from SR monitored using arsenazo III. At 10 microM IP3, the release was doubled by O2-. treatment. As a consequence of using the higher SR protein concentrations required to observe the Ca2+ release, this effect was independent of Ca2+ uptake inhibition induced by O2-(.). Since the effect of O2-. was not seen when a nonhydrolyzable analogue of IP3 was used to induce Ca2+ release, O-2. may be inhibiting the degradation processes of IP3.

Brain cell membrane function during and following single and repeated episodes of asphyxia was investigated. Asphyxia in 24 anesthetized, paralyzed, mechanically-ventilated newborn piglets was produced by stopping ventilation for 2-3 min followed by recovery with reventilation. Measurements of cerebral Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity and of lipid peroxidation products, conjugated dienes and fluorescent compounds, were made during control (n = 12), asphyxia (n = 5), recovery after a single asphyxia event (n = 4), and recovery following 7 repeated asphyxia episodes (n = 3). Cerebral Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity remained unchanged from control during asphyxia (14.57 +/- 2.43 compared to 15.33 +/- 4.27 mumol Pi/mg protein/h, mean +/- SD), but was significantly reduced both during recovery after single (3.87 +/- 1.66) and after repeated (2.59 +/- 1.58) asphyxias, representing a 73 and 82% reduction in enzyme activity, respectively. Conjugated dienes and fluorescent compounds were similarly unchanged during asphyxia compared to control, but increased during recovery from single and from repeated episodes. Decreased cerebral Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity, simultaneous with an increase in lipid peroxidation products, reflects significant cellular membrane damage consistent with oxygen free radical formation during the recovery from acute asphyxia in the newborn piglet.

The purpose of this study was to explore the role of singlet oxygen in cardiovascular injury. To accomplish this objective, we investigated the effect of singlet oxygen [generated from photoactivation of rose-bengal] on the calcium transport and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and compared these results with those obtained by superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. Isolated cardiac SR exposed to rose bengal (10 nM) irradiated at (560 nm) produced a significant inhibition of Ca2+ uptake; from 2.27 +/- 0.05 to 0.62 +/- 0.05 mumol Ca2+/mg.min (mean +/- SE) (P less than 0.01) and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity from 2.08 +/- 0.05 mumol Pi/min.mg to 0.28 +/- 0.04 mumol Pi/min.mg (mean +/- SE) (P less than 0.01). The inhibition of calcium uptake and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity by rose bengal derived activated oxygen (singlet oxygen) was dependent on the duration of exposure and intensity of light. The singlet oxygen scavengers ascorbic acid and histidine significantly protected SR Ca(2+)-ATPase against rose bengal derived activated oxygen species but superoxide dismutase and catalase did not attenuate the inhibition. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of SR exposed to photoactivated rose bengal up to 14 min, demonstrated complete loss of Ca(2+)-ATPase monomer band which was significantly protected by histidine. Irradiation of rose bengal also caused an 18% loss of total sulfhydryl groups of SR. On the other hand, superoxide (generated from xanthine oxidase action on xanthine) and hydroxyl radical (0.5 mM H2O2 + Fe(2+)-EDTA) as well as H2O2 (12 mM) were without any effect on the 97,000 dalton Ca(2+)-ATPase band of sarcoplasmic reticulum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

To examine the effects of activated neutrophils (PMNs) on Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated PMNs were incubated with canine renal cortical basolateral membrane (BLM), and BLM ouabain-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was subsequently quantified. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity decreased to 40.0 +/- 8.7% (SE) of control in the presence of activated PMNs, from 0.89 +/- 0.12 to 0.34 +/- 0.05 mumol Pi.mg protein-1.min-1. This inhibition coincided with a decrease in the apparent Michaelis constant (Km) for ATP from 0.18 +/- 0.02 to 0.05 +/- 0.01 mM. Inclusion of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the BLM/PMN/PMA incubation mixture resulted in partial preservation of enzyme activity, with an increase to 57.0 +/- 4.6% of control with CAT alone and to 70.0 +/- 5.3% with both CAT and SOD. SOD alone had no protective effect. Neither the myeloperoxidase inhibitor azide nor the hypochlorous acid scavenger L-methionine preserved enzyme activity. Hydroxyl radical scavengers and iron chelators were also ineffective in attenuating Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase inhibition by activated PMNs. These results indicate that activated PMNs mediate a decrease in BLM Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity characterized by a reduction in maximum velocity and Km for ATP that appears to be mediated in part by reactive oxygen metabolites.

This study evaluated the effect of L-1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-3-glycerol (OAG) on ouabain-sensitive Na,K-dependent oxygen consumption (Na,K-QO2) in intact renal proximal tubule cells (RPTC). Basal Na,K-QO2 (nmol O2/mg protein per min) was 20.0 +/- 1.0. Incubation with 10 nM of OAG induced a dual effect on Na,K-QO2, with an initial stimulation (maximal at 10 min, 37.1 +/- 5.0), followed by an inhibition (significant at 20 min, 16.3 +/- 1.0). No changes in ouabain-insensitive QO2 were observed in any of the protocols. The effects were abolished by sphingosine, a protein kinase C inhibitor. Stimulation was abolished by amiloride 0.1 mM. Amiloride had no effect on Na,K-QO2 at the concentration used. Stimulation was not potentiated by the sodium ionophore, amphotericin B, and the later inhibition was still observed in the presence of amphotericin B. The initial stimulation was attributed to an increase in sodium permeability, while the later inhibition was attributed to a direct effect on the Na,K-pump. Regulation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity by protein kinase C in intact RPTC can be accomplished by a direct effect on the protein or as a secondary effect consequent upon changes in intracellular sodium.
