Experiments on rats and rabbits using models of arrhythmias induced by vasopressin, epinephrine, strophanthin, and CaCl2 showed that antioxidants derived from 1,4-dihydropyridines, dibunol, and alpha-tocopherol possessed antiarrhythmic effects. Administration of these antioxidants decreased the occurrence of extrasystoles, disturbances of atrioventricular conductivity and ventricular fibrillation. These drugs also prevented changes in membrane phospholipid composition, inhibited activation of peroxidation, decreased phospholipase activity, prevented a decrease of Ca2+ ATPase and Ca2+ binding and uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum, and increased sarcolemmal Na+, K+-ATPase, sarcoplasmic reticulum creatine phosphokinase.

Ion transport properties and some components of lipid structure in myocardial sarcolemma were studied under conditions of short-term acute ischemia simulated in rabbits by means of intravenous administration of vasopressin at a dose of 0.2 U/kg. The acute coronary insufficiency was accompanied by distinct alterations in the parameters specific for calcium metabolism and transport: activity of Na+, K+-ATPase and the rate of Na+Ca2+ turnover were decreased, while 45Ca-binding ability and content of Ca2+ were increased in the myocardial sarcolemma. Alterations in lipid structure, phospholipid composition of membranes and accumulation of free fatty acids appear to be responsible for the phenomenon observed. The increased rate of calcium ions transport found may occur due to alterations in the sarcolemma structure.

The renal papillary surface epithelium is exposed to pelvic urine on its apical surface and to inner medullary interstitium on its basolateral surface. To investigate transport in this epithelium, we dissected it free from the renal papilla of rabbits and mounted it in a chamber that allowed both sides to be bathed independently. Cell volume was measured at 25 degrees C utilizing computerized quantitative microscopy. Addition of ouabain (10(-4) M) to the basolateral solution induced a 20% volume increase. This volume increase was completely inhibited by the removal of apical bath NaCl, Na+, K+, or Cl- but not by the removal of urea. Bumetanide, down to 10(-9) M in the apical bath, completely inhibited the ouabain-induced swelling. Changes in apical bath osmolality, resulting from addition or removal of NaCl, caused cell volume changes that were greater than could be accounted for by osmotic water flow alone. This hyperresponse was blocked by bumetanide and was stimulated by vasopressin (10(-8) M). These observations are consistent with the presence of Na-K-ATPase in the basolateral membrane and a bumetanide-sensitive, vasopressin-responsive Na-K-Cl co-transporter in the apical membrane.

Cultured A6 epithelial cells from toad kidney form confluent monolayers with tight junctions separating the apical and basolateral membranes. These two membrane domains have distinct compositions and functions. Thus, sodium is actively transported across the epithelia from the apical to basolateral surface via amiloride-inhibitable sodium channels located in the apical membrane. Sodium transport is stimulated by vasopressin, cholera toxin, and 8-bromo-cAMP applied to the basolateral surface where the receptors, adenylate cyclase, and Na+/K+-ATPase are located. In a previous study (Spiegel, S., Blumenthal, R., Fishman, P.H., and Handler, J.S. (1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 821, 310-318), we demonstrated that exogenous gangliosides inserted into the apical membrane of A6 epithelia do not redistribute to the basolateral membrane. With the ability to vary selectively the ganglioside composition of the apical membrane, we examined the effects of gangliosides on sodium transport in A6 epithelia. When the apical surface of A6 epithelia were exposed to exogenous gangliosides, sodium transport in response to vasopressin, cholera toxin, and 8-bromo-cAMP was enhanced compared to epithelia not exposed to gangliosides. The effect was observed with bovine brain gangliosides, NeuAc alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----3GalNAc beta 1----4[NeuAc alpha 2----3]Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----Cer (GD1a) and Gal beta-1----3GalNAc beta 1----4[NeuAc alpha 2----3]Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----Cer (GM1), but not with the less complex ganglioside, Neu-Ac alpha 2----3Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----Cer (GM3). We examined A6 cells for endogenous gangliosides and found that, whereas GM3 was a major ganglioside, only trace amounts of GM1 and GD1a were present. Based on cell surface and metabolic labeling studies, these gangliosides were synthesized by the cells and were present on the apical as well as the basolateral surface. Bacterial sialidase, which hydrolyzes more complex gangliosides to GM1, was used to modify the endogenous gangliosides on the apical surface; after sialidase treatment, the epithelia were more responsive to vasopressin, cholera toxin, and 8-bromo-cAMP. Thus, gangliosides may be modulators of sodium channels present in the apical membrane of epithelial cells.

Neurosecretory granules prepared from bovine posterior pituitary glands by cell fractionation methods contain adenosine triphosphate and adenosine triphosphatase activity. Addition of adenosine triphosphate to suspensions of granules stimulates release of vasopressin. It is suggested that adenosine triphosphate and adenosine triphosphatase participate in the storage and release of vasopressin.

Posterior pituitary lobes from young pigs were fractionated by differential and sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. The distributions of oxytocin and [8-lysine]-vasopressin were measured by bioassay and the distributions of neurophysin-I and -II by radioimmunoassays specific for each of these two proteins. Most of the hormone and neurophysin applied to the density gradient was localized in particles with the density expected of neurosecretory granules. However, the neurosecretory granules were separated into two bands (D and E). A close statistical correlation between the distributions of [8-lysine]-vasopressin and neurophysin-I, and of oxytocin and neurophysin-II on the gradients, suggested that in vivo porcine neurophysin-I binds [8-lysine]-vasopressin within one population of granules and porcine neurophysin-II binds oxytocin within another type of granule. However, there was no significant separation of oxytocin and vasopressin in fractions D and E. The molar ratios of hormones and neurophysins indicated that there was insufficient of either neurophysin to bind the [8-lysine]-vasopressin in the granule fractions or in the whole gland. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed that only bands corresponding in mobility to porcine neurophysins-I, -II and -III were present in large amounts in the whole gland and in the granule fractions. The component with the mobility of neurophysin-III was, however, relatively enriched in whole young glands and granule fractions compared with adult gland extracts. It is suggested that the vasopressin that cannot be assigned to neurophysin-I may occur in (a) vesicles containing vasopressin but no neurophysin, (b) vesicles containing vasopressin and a protein that cannot be quantified by the radioimmunoassays used, such as porcine neurophysin-III, or (c) normal vasopressin-neurophysin granules which have accumulated extra vasopressin. Band E of the gradient was rich in adenosine triphosphatase activity, whereas band D possessed very little of this enzyme.

1. Homogenates of neural lobes of bovine pituitary glands were fractionated by differential and density-gradient ultracentrifugation and the distribution of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity was studied. It was shown that all the activity was membrane-bound. 2. On the basis of ionic requirements the ATPase activity was grouped into three categories: (a) Mg(2+)-dependent, (b) Ca(2+)-dependent and (c) Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-dependent (ouabain-sensitive) ATPases. The activity in the absence of bivalent cations was negligible. The ratio between the activities of the three ATPases varied between the different subcellular fractions. 3. Preincubation of the subcellular fractions with deoxycholate increased the activity of the Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-dependent enzyme, whereas the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-activated ATPases were either unaffected or slightly inhibited. Triton X-100 solubilized the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-ATPases; however, the activity of the Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-ATPase was abolished by the concentration of Triton X-100 used. 4. All the subfractions displayed unspecific nucleotide triphosphatase activity towards GTP, ITP and UTP. These substrates inhibited the hydrolysis of ATP by all three ATPases. ADP also inhibited the ATPases. 5. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of extracts containing the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity solubilized by Triton X-100 revealed the presence of two enzymes; one activated by either Mg(2+) or Ca(2+) and the other activated only by Ca(2+). 6. In sucrose density gradients the distribution of vasopressin was different from that of all three types of ATPases. It is therefore suggested that the neurosecretory granules do not possess ATPase activity.

1. The intracellular (I.C.) concentrations of Na, K and Cl in mammary cells from lactating guinea-pigs have been calculated from the analysis of fresh tissue and the measurement of the extracellular (E.C.) space with [(14)C]sucrose and the milk content with [(14)C]lactose.2. Assuming that alveolar milk has the same concentration as teat milk, the intracellular concentrations were calculated to be K 115, Na 42 and Cl 66 m-equiv. l(-1) intracellular water.3. Intracellular concentrations were also calculated in slices incubated in Krebs-bicarbonate medium plus glucose. There was a large increase in the sucrose (E.C.) space and a rise in total tissue [Na] and [Cl]. On the assumption that the medium had equilibrated with the milk space as well as the E.C. space, the calculated I.C. concentrations of Na (43 m-equiv. l(-1)), and Cl (62) were very similar while [K] was somewhat higher (143 m-equiv. l(-1)I.C. water).4. The calculated I.C. concentrations of all three ions are all higher than in milk but the ratios between them are almost identical.5. Similar figures for the I.C. concentrations of Na, K and Cl have been obtained in the goat, cow and sheep mammary tissue incubated in vitro.6. Moderate changes in the concentrations of Na, K and Cl in the external medium had no effect on cell composition but during incubation without ions [(14)C]sucrose became distributed throughout the total tissue water indicating that sucrose had entered the I.C. compartment.7. Acetazolamide (10(-2)M), aldosterone (1.4 x 10(-6)M) and, in some experiments, lack of glucose lowered I.C. [Cl(-)], but oxytocin, vasopressin and low doses of insulin had no effect.8. The data are difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis of Zaks, Natochin, Sokolova, Tanasiichuk & Tverskoi (1965) that freshly secreted milk has the ionic composition of plasma.9. Comparison of I.C. ion concentrations and the membrane potential between the cells and milk suggests that Na(+) and K(+) are passively distributed across the apical membrane but that Cl(-) must be actively held in the cells. Across the basal membrane the data are consistent with the presence of a Na(+) pump and with Kinura's (1969) detection of a Na:K ATPase on the basal and lateral membranes. In addition another inward-facing Cl(-) pump may exist at this site.

Cultured monolayers of dog kidney (MDCK) cells display many features of in vivo epithelia. This work describes the identification of two separate strains of MDCK cell with entirely different properties. Strain I cells form epithelial monolayers which display a high electrical resistance (4.1 k omega . cm-2); the basal short-circuit is small (approx. 0.5 muamp . cm-2) and is stimulated by adrenaline (1 micrometer) prostaglandin E1 (1 micrometer) and arginine vasopressin (2 micrometer) added to the basal bathing solution. Strain II cells form epithelial monolayers of low electrical resistance; the short circuit current is insensitive to adrenaline, prostaglandin E1 and vasopressin. Strain II cells possess measurable activities of alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase whereas Strain I cells do not. The specific activity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is two-fold greater in Strain II compared with Strain I. The polypeptide composition of the apical membrane differs substantially between the two cell strains as revealed by radio-iodination of external membrane proteins. Monolayer morphology is substantially different between two cell strains. The results are discussed in relation to previous work on MDCK epithelial and the two types of cell monolayer compared with in vivo tubule segments.

A high affinity Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+-dependent ATPase (Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase) was identified in microsomes and plasma membrane vesicles isolated from rat hepatocytes. The distribution of this enzyme was similar to that of the plasma membrane marker enzymes alkaline phosphodiesterase and 5'-nucleotidase. The Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase had an apparent half-saturation constant of approximately 75 nM for Ca2+. After incubation of rat hepatocytes with 25 nM vasopressin for 3 min, the activity of Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase was decreased 15-30%. The effect of vasopressin on the activity of this enzyme was near maximal after incubating hepatocytes with vasopressin for only 15 sec. The concentration of vasopressin needed for half-maximal inhibition of this enzyme in hepatocytes was approximately 6 nM. Treatment of the hepatocytes with 10 microM phenylephrine caused about a 10% decrease in ATPase activity while 10 nM glucagon or 200 microU/ml insulin did not affect the enzyme. These findings suggest that inhibition of the Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity may be part of the mechanism by which vasopressin and alpha-adrenergic agonists elevate cytosolic Ca2+ in hepatocytes.
