K+-dependent, ouabain-sensitive nitrophenyl phosphatase (K+-NPPase) activity, which reflects the terminal dephosphorylation step of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase action, was studied histochemically in human thyroid normal follicular cells and in human thyroid carcinoma cells, using a newly developed one-step lead citrate method. In normal thyroid follicular cells, reaction product for K+-NPPase activity was found on the lateral plasma membrane and not on either the apical or basal plasma membrane. In thyroid carcinoma cells, a large amount of reaction product was observed on the lateral plasma membrane and also on the apical and basal plasma membrane. Appropriate control experiments indicated that the deposition of reaction product was K+ dependent and ouabain sensitive. Although there was some overlap in the distribution of reaction products for K+-NPPase and Mg2+-ATPase, significant differences were consistently observed. The biochemical findings indicated that the K+-NPPase activity per milligram of DNA in thyroid carcinoma cells was approximately 10 times higher than that in normal thyroid cells, and that a significant positive correlation exists between K+-NPPase and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. The physiologic and pathologic implications of this localization for tracing the route of active Na+ transport, which might participate in the transport of iodide ion in both human thyroid normal follicular cells and human thyroid carcinoma cells, are discussed.

The potency of local anesthetics as inhibitors of Na+, K+-ATPase and K+- NPPase activities correlated with lipid solubility. The order of potencies was: dibucaine greater than tetracaine much greater than procaine. Na+-ATPase activity was remarkably more sensitive to inhibition by tetracaine and procaine, and inhibitory potency did not correlate with lipid solubility. The order of potencies for inhibition of Na+-ATPase activity was: tetracaine greater than dibucaine greater than procaine. We examined interactions between the local anesthetics and monovalent cations in an attempt to explain this observation. Inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase by tetracaine and dibucaine was competitive with respect to Na+, and inhibition of Na+-ATPase activity by all three agents was competitive with respect to Na+. Inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase activity by procaine and tetracaine was competitive with respect to K+, and inhibition of K+- NPPase activity by all three agents was competitive with respect to K+. Dibucaine, the most lipid soluble agent, was equipotent as an inhibitor of all three activities and was generally less effective as a competitor with respect to activation by monovalent cations. These results suggest that dibucaine may interact nonspecifically with membrane lipids to inhibit enzyme activity whereas less lipid soluble agents, such as tetracaine and procaine, may interact more selectively with cation binding sites. It appears that the presence of K+ in the assay medium specifically decreases the inhibitory potency of tetracaine and procaine. Direct competition between these agents and K+ may prevent inhibition or, alternately, the presence of K+ may convert the enzyme to a conformation less susceptible to inhibition by agents of low to intermediate lipid solubility.

Activities of marker enzymes for various cell components were studied with extracts of adriamycin-, aclacinomycin A- and bleomycin-resistant cells and with partially purified plasma membrane fraction of aclacinomycin A-resistant cells, in comparison with those of the parental cells. Alkaline phosphodiesterase and Na+-K+-ATPase activities were observed to alter in the drug-resistant sublines, but other enzymes showed similar activities in the resistant cells to those in the parental cells. Alkaline phosphodiesterase activities in all the resistant sublines were higher than that in the parental cells. Na+K+-ATPase activities of anthracycline-resistant sublines were lower and that in bleomycin-resistant cell line was higher than that of the parental cells. The adriamycin-resistant cells exhibited the same level of alkaline phosphodiesterase activity with the aclacinomycin A-resistant cells: Vmax was the same with, and the affinity was twice stronger than the parental cells. The bleomycin-resistant cells showed ca. 30% Vmax in comparison with the sensitive cells, and 17 fold higher affinity than the parental cells. The current results, concerning changes of membrane-associated enzymes in drug-resistant sublines of L5178Y cells, support the assumption that the resistance is due to alteration of plasma membrane transport systems.

MDL 17,043 (1,3-dihydro-4-methyl-5-[4-(methylthio)-benzoyl]-2H-imidazol-2-one) is a new drug with cardiotonic properties. Its effects on several biochemical systems considered to be important in myocardial contraction were investigated and compared with those produced by amrinone and theophylline. Dog cardiac phosphodiesterases (PDEs) were separated into three major forms and labeled PDE I, II, and III according to the order of elution during isolation by column chromatography. PDE I and II, considered to be "high-Km" enzymes for cyclic AMP, were not inhibited by MDL 17,043, amrinone, or theophylline in concentrations of 50 microM. PDE III, a "low-Km" enzyme, was strongly inhibited by MDL 17,043. Kinetic studies showed the inhibition to be characteristic of partial competitive inhibition. At 0.25 microM cyclic AMP, 1.3 microM MDL 17,043 caused 50% inhibition of PDE III (I50), while the I50 for amrinone and theophylline were estimated to be 19.5 microM and 119 microM, respectively. Dog kidney Na+, K+-ATPase was inhibited 54% by 100 microM MDL 17,043 while amrinone caused an 18% inhibition at the same concentration. Ca2+-ATPase and Ca2+ uptake by dog sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were unchanged by MDL 17,043 concentrations up to 300 microM and 100 microM, respectively. It is suggested that the inhibition of PDE III is related to the cardiotonic effects produced by MDL 17,043 and amrinone, although inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase may also play a role at high concentrations of these drugs.

Aprindine, an antiarrhythmic agent with structural similarities to lidocaine and procainamide, has proved effective in treatment of patients with ventricular premature depolarizations, ventricular tachycardia, and supraventricular arrhythmias. While its effects at an electrophysiologic level have been elucidated, its mechanism of action at a biochemical level has remained largely undefined. The data in this communication demonstrate that aprindine inhibits the activation of bovine brain cyclic 3':5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) by calmodulin. This inhibition is specific for the calmodulin-stimulated enzyme, as no effect of aprindine is seen when phosphodiesterase is assayed in the absence of calmodulin. The inhibition is competitive with respect to substrate (cyclic AMP) and calmodulin concentrations. In the presence of 10 nM calmodulin, the ID50 for aprindine is 18 microM. This inhibition is not the result of aprindine acting as a calcium chelator because increasing the calcium concentration does not reverse the inhibitory effect. Aprindine also inhibits calmodulin-stimulated Ca-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase EC 3.6.1.3) activity, but again has no effect on the enzyme in the absence of calmodulin. Aprindine has hydrophobic properties which may be responsible for the inhibitory effect. Sufficient concentrations of aprindine are achieved in myocardial tissues to interfere with the ability of calmodulin to stimulate a number of enzymes present in the heart.

Ca++-ATPase activity was demonstrated histochemically at light- and electron-microscopic levels in inner and outer segments of retinal photoreceptor cells of the guinea pig with the use of a newly developed one-step lead-citrate method (Ando et al. 1981). The localization of ouabain-sensitive, K+-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K+-NPPase) activity, which represents the second dephosphorylative step of the Na+-K+-ATPase system, was studied by use of the one-step method newly adapted for ultracytochemistry (Mayahara et al. 1980). In retinal photoreceptor cells fixed for 15 min in 2% paraformaldehyde the electron-dense Ca++-ATPase reaction product accumulated significantly on the inner membranes of the mitochondria but not on the plasmalemma or other cytoplasmic elements of the inner segments. The membranes of the outer segments remained unstained except the membrane arrays in close apposition to the retinal pigment epithelium. The cytochemical reaction was Ca++- and substrate-dependent and showed sensitivity to oligomycin. When Mg++-ions were used instead of Ca++-ions, a distinct reaction was also found on mitochondrial inner membranes. In contrast to the localization of the Ca++-ATPase activity, the K+-NPPase activity was demonstrated only on the plasmalemma of the inner segments, but not on the mitochondria, other cytoplasmic elements or the outer segment membranes. This reaction was almost completely abolished by ouabain or by elimination of K+ from the incubation medium.

Cetiedil, an in vitro anti-sickling agent, inhibited calmodulin-stimulated cyclic 3':5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) and Ca2+-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) activities. The drug had no effect on basal enzyme activities in the absence of calmodulin. The inhibition of phosphodiesterase was competitive with respect to the concentrations of both cAMP and calmodulin. Cetiedil did not inhibit calmodulin-stimulated enzyme activities by acting as a calcium chelator, since increasing the concentration of calcium did not reverse the inhibitory effect.

Biochemical studies have demonstrated the presence of ouabain-sensitive Na-K-ATPase in lens epithelium. The development of certain experimental cataracts has been associated with the decrease in the level of activity of this enzyme. Cytochemical investigations at the ultrastructural level to localize this important enzyme in the ocular lens are needed to exhibit the site of Na-K-ATPase action. In this investigation cytochemical methods originally described by Ernst for the localization of Na-k-atpase through K-NPPase reaction have been used for normal and cataractous ocular lens. The reaction product was observed to be present on the lateral and apical portion of the epithelial cell membranes. Mooreover, the membranes of the cortical fibers in the anterior polar and equatorial region of the lens also exhibited reaction product of Na-k-atpase. The presence of ouabain reduced the reaction product of Na-K-ATPase; however, continuous exposure to ouabain during preincubation fixation, and incubation demonstrated greater reduction in enzyme action in the lens. The Na-K-ATPase activity in the lenses of animals fed galactose decreased with increase in time on galactose diet. In this study, using ultrastructural cytochemistry, we have demonstrated gradual decrease in Na-K-ATPase activity in the lenses of galactose-fed animals.

The uterine epithelium of pregnant females of the terrestrial ovoviviparous Salamandra salamandra is characterized by a considerable enlargement of its basolateral surface. Chloride and cations (among others sodium), preferentially within the intercellular spaces, can be demonstrated ultrahistochemically. There is indirect evidence of Na+ --K+ -ATPase activity along the basolateral plasma membranes of the epithelial cells using the Sr-technique for demonstration of a K+ -NPPase and 3H-ouabain autoradiography. Preliminary measurements reveal a potential difference across the uterine wall of 15--25 mV, the lumenal (mucosal) surface being negative with respect to the coelomic (serosal) surface, and a short circuit current of 200--300 microA. The possible electrogenic ion transport is ouabain-sensitive. The results are in agreement with the model of a "forward" transporting, i.e. absorptive epithelium. An active transport of solute out of the uterine lumen across the epithelium to the subjacent connective tissue and the blood vessels may be involved in the regulation of an intrauterine milieu appropriate for the development of the offspring.

Na+,K+-ATPase activity was monitored by measuring ouabain-sensitive K+-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (p-NPPase) activity in rat submandibular gland slices. Carbachol (carbamylcholine chloride) stimulated the p-NPPase activity in the presence of calcium but not in its absence. Carbachol activation of the enzyme was totally ouabain sensitive and could be blocked by atropine. A minimal requirement of sodium ion extracellularly was required for this carbachol stimulation. cGMP and its dibutyryl analogue was also effective in stimulating the enzyme activity, whereas, cAMP was ineffective. Calcium, however, was not required for cGMP activation of the p-NPPase activity. The result indicates that calcium is the second messenger and cGMP is the tertiary connection between cholinergic stimulation and Na+,K+-ATPase activation in these glands. Activation of Na+,K+-ATPase is postulated to be responsible for primary fluid formation.
