Evidence is presented for the sensitivity of the synaptosomal plasma membrane Mg(2+)-ATPase activity to arachidonic acid being dependent on the functional state of Na+,K(+)-ATPase. An "Inversion effect" was observed at arachidonic acid concentrations exceeding 80 mumol/l when the Mg(2+)-ATPase activity (after ouabain addition) is higher than the total ATPase activity (without ouabain). The "Inversion effect" is reduced by cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin or acetylsalicylic acid and restored by prostaglandin PGA2 or PGD2.

Previous studies have suggested that guanine nucleotide regulatory (G) proteins modulate endotoxin-stimulated peritoneal macrophage arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. Endotoxin-stimulated metabolism of AA by peritoneal macrophages is decreased in endotoxin tolerance (Rogers et al. Prostaglandins 31: 639-650, 1986). These observations led to a study of G protein function and AA metabolism by peritoneal macrophages in endotoxin tolerance. Endotoxin tolerance was induced by the administration of sublethal doses of endotoxin. AA metabolism was assessed by measurement of thromboxane B2 (TxB2), a cyclooxygenase metabolite. NaF (5 mM), an activator of G proteins, significantly stimulated TxB2 synthesis in control macrophages from 7.7 +/- 0.2 to 19.1 +/- 0.6 (SE) ng/ml (P less than 0.05) at 2 h and was partially inhibited by pertussis toxin, suggesting a G protein-dependent mechanism. Salmonella enteritidis endotoxin (50 micrograms/ml) stimulated a similar increase in TxB2 levels (23 +/- 0.4 ng/ml, P less than 0.05). In contrast to control macrophages, macrophages from endotoxin-tolerant rats stimulated with either NaF or S. enteritidis endotoxin had TxB2 levels that were only 30 and 2% of the respective stimulated control cells. Basal guanosine-triphosphatase (GTPase) activity (33 +/- 6 pmol.mg-1.min-1) in endotoxin-tolerant macrophage membranes was significantly lower (P less than 0.05) than control basal activity (158 +/- 5 pmol.mg-1.min-1). This suppression of macrophage GTPase activity was apparent 48 h after the first in vivo sublethal endotoxin injection (100 micrograms/kg ip). The reduced GTPase activity paralleled in vitro cellular hyporesponsiveness to endotoxin-stimulated TxB2 production.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBuBHQ) induced bronchoconstriction and vasoconstriction in the isolated perfused and ventilated rat lung. These effects were accompanied by increased levels of thromboxane and prostacyclin in the effluent perfusate. The effect of tBuBHQ was inhibited by L-655,240, a thromboxane receptor antagonist, indicating thromboxane-A2-mediated bronchoconstriction and vasoconstriction. Accordingly, the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin largely blocked the effects of tBuBHQ. The involvement of a phospholipase in the generation of thromboxane A2(TXA2) was supported by dibucaine protection on tBuBHQ effects. The results from this study indicate that tBuBHQ, probably by inhibiting the microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase, can trigger the arachidonic acid cascade leading to the formation of TXA2, which in turn causes bronchoconstriction and vasoconstriction in rat lung.

In addition to cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized by the cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase system. The kidney is one of the major extrahepatic tissues that display cytochrome P-450 enzyme activities, in particular the cortex, specifically the proximal tubule demonstrate the highest concentration. AA is metabolized by the renal cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase and omega/omega 1 hydroxylases to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and omega/omega-1 alcohols (20- and 19-mono-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids), respectively. These metabolites possess a broad spectrum of biological and renal effects which include: vasodilation, vasoconstriction, inhibition and stimulation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, inhibition of ion transport mechanisms, natriuresis, inhibition of renin release and stimulation of cell growth. These metabolites are endogenous constituents of the kidney and are present in urine with increasing concentration under pathological conditions such as pregnancy-induced hypertension. The cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of AA is specifically localized to the proximal tubule and exhibits developmental changes, i.e., renal production of metabolites is very low in the fetus, newborn and up to 3 weeks of age, after which a remarkable increase in enzyme activities is observed. These characteristics call attention to the importance of this enzyme system in producing cellular mediators for regulating renal function in normal and diseased states.

Thapsigargin, which acts by inhibition of a Ca(++)-ATPase on the dense tubule system in platelets, is a pharmacological tool to study the effects of increases in intracellular Ca++. Secondary consequences of thapsigargin treatment in platelets include extensive thromboxane B2 formation (493 +/- 106 ng/10(8) platelets) and [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine secretion (80.7 +/- 8.0%). Inhibition of cyclooxygenase by ibuprofen prevents thromboxane B2 formation (0.1 +/- 0.04 ng/10(8) platelets) and dense tubule secretion (6.5 +/- 3.8%). Aggregation in response to thapsigargin is rapid and maximal, but the rate and extent of aggregation are lowered by ibuprofen or aspirin. Mobilization of intracellular Ca++ is also significantly attenuated when eicosanoid formation is prevented, indicating the dependence of thapsigargin actions on endogenous lipid mediator formation. These studies also support the idea that formation of endogenous thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 is self-amplifying; thromboxane receptor antagonists inhibit endogenous thromboxane B2 formation, indicating that Ca(++)-dependent activation of phospholipase A2 is only partially responsible for eicosanoid production. Our data indicate the importance of distinguishing secondary effects of thapsigargin, especially because it may influence eicosanoid formation.

Vanadium in the 4+ (vanadyl-ion) and 5+ (vanadate-ion) oxidation state stimulates furosemide-sensitive electrogenic Cl- secretion in isolated epithelia of rabbit descending colon. This effect is associated with an increased release of prostaglandin E2 from the tissue. Inhibitors of phospholipase A2 or cyclooxygenase abolish both vanadium-induced release of prostaglandin E2 and Cl- secretion. Neuronal mechanisms are not likely to be involved, as tetrodotoxin does not affect the vanadate induced Cl- secretion. Although vanadate is known to inhibit Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity, no inhibition of active Na+ transport was observed in intact colonic epithelia suggesting a rapid intracellular reduction of vanadate ions to vanadyl ions which have no inhibitory effect on the Na+,K(+)-ATPase. The present findings therefore indicate that vanadate stimulated colonic Cl- secretion involves intracellular conversion of vanadate to vanadyl and release of prostaglandin E2.

Inhibitors of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase like thapsigargin (TG) and 2,5-di (tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBuBHQ) cause increases in cytosolic calcium in intact human platelets resulting from prevention of reuptake. A maximal concentration of TG (0.2 microM) mobilized 100% of sequestered Ca2+ compared to the action of a receptor agonist like thrombin (0.1 U/ml). A maximal dose of tBuBHQ (50 microM) stimulated release of about 40% of intracellular calcium compared to thrombin and TG. The reduced ability of tBuBHQ to release calcium can be explained with an inhibitory effect on the cyclooxygenase pathway (Ki approximately 7 microM). Therefore tBuBHQ is not able to cause platelet aggregation compared to TG. In the presence of a cyclooxygenase inhibitor or a thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist the action of TG is identical to that observed with tBuBHQ. Generally, inhibition of calcium sequestration does not automatically result in platelet activation. In contrast to a receptor mediated activation Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors require the self-amplification mechanism of endogenously formed thromboxane A2 to cause a similar response. We conclude that the calcium store sensitive to Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors is a subset of the receptor sensitive calcium pool.

Erythrocytes of diabetic subjects (non-insulin dependent) were found to have eight- to ten-fold higher levels of endogenously formed thiobarbituric acid reactive malonyldialdehyde (MDA), thirteen-fold higher levels of phospholipid-MDA adduct, 15-20% reduced Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity with unchanged Ca+2-ATPase activity, as compared with the erythrocytes from normal healthy individuals. Incubation of normal erythrocytes with elevated concentrations (15-35 mM) of glucose, similar to that present in diabetic plasma, led to the increased lipid peroxidation, phospholipid-MDA adduct formation, reduction of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (25-50%) and Ca+2-ATPase (50%) activities. 2-doxy-glucose was 80% as effective as glucose in the lipid peroxidation and lipid adduct formation. However, other sugars, such as fructose, galactose, mannose, fucose, glucosamine and 3-O-methylmannoside, and sucrose, tested at a concentration of 35 mM, resulted in reduced (20-30%) lipid peroxidation without the formation of lipid-MDA adduct. Kinetic studies show that reductions in Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and Ca+2-ATPase activities precede the lipid peroxidation as the enzyme inactivation occur within 30 min of incubation of erythrocytes with high concentration (15-35 mM) of glucose, while lipid peroxidation product, MDA appears at 4 hr and lipid-MDA adducts at 8 hr. The lipoxygenase pathway inhibitors, 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid and Baicalein (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone), reduced the glucose-induced lipid peroxidation by 30% and MDA-lipid adduct formation by 26%. Indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase pathway inhibitor, had no discernible effect on the lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes. However, the inhibitors of lipid peroxidation, 3-phenylpyrazolidone, metyrapone, and the inhibitors of lipoxygenase pathways did not ablate the glucose-induced reduction of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and Ca+2-ATPase activities in erythrocytes. Erythrocytes produce 15-HETE (15-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid), which is augmented by glucose. These results suggest that the formation of lipoxygenase metabolites potentiate the glucose-induced lipid peroxidation and that the inactivation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and Ca+2-ATPase occurs as a result of non-covalent interaction of glucose with these enzymes.

Several cytochrome P450-dependent arachidonic acid metabolites have been shown to affect Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. In the present study, we tested the effect of omega- and omega - 1-hydroxylated products, i.e., 19- and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (19- and 20-HETE), on the K-induced relaxation in rat aortic rings. 19-HETE and 20-HETE increased the magnitude of the potassium-induced relaxation in a dose-dependent fashion (10(-7)-10(-5) M). The inhibitory effect of ouabain on the potassium-induced relaxation was reversed by both 19- and 20-HETE. In addition, indomethacin fully inhibited the stimulatory effect of 19- and 20-HETE on relaxation induced by potassium. Vascular ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake was also increased by 19- and 20-HETE. These observations suggest that 19- and 20-HETE stimulate vascular Na+,K(+)-ATPase via their conversion by cyclooxygenase to prostaglandin-like material.

Activation of human platelets by diverse receptor-transduced signals is followed by an intracellular calcium increase. Calcium liberation from an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive compartment is recognized to be one of the prime events, followed by further mechanisms to amplify the signal. Among these, the formation of prostaglandin endoperoxides and thromboxane A2 are part of the self-amplificating activation system. Two inhibitors of intracellular Ca(2+)-ATPases, thapsigargin and 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone have been reported to deplete the intracellular inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-responsive stores. In human platelets with EGTA present, we found that these inhibitors of the microsomal Ca2+ sequestration generate quite different Ca2+ transients due to an inherent cyclooxygenase inhibition by the benzohydroquinone derivative compared to thapsigargin, and, therefore, only one-half of the fura-2 signal is generated. For a maximal calcium release, Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors depend on the self-amplification system involving thromboxane formation. Following the thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i transient, thrombin was unable to raise [Ca2+]i, indicating that thapsigargin mobilizes calcium from the thrombin-responsive store, as long as the self-amplifying system of platelets is intact. With the thromboxane receptor blocked, thapsigargin releases only one-half of the calcium, and, hence, thrombin was able to release additional calcium. Interestingly, in the converse experiment, thrombin did not prevent a raise of [Ca2+]i by thapsigargin at all, although applying thrombin a second time was without any effect. Therefore, we propose two calcium pools in human platelets: receptor activation transiently releases calcium from an inositol-sensitive pool including the thapsigargin-sensitive compartment, followed by reuptake within minutes. Sequestration occurs into the thapsigargin-sensitive compartment from where it can be released even when the endoperoxide/thromboxane receptor is blocked. Calcium release from both compartments allows the formation of thromboxane B2, but not if only the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor-sensitive pool is emptied. In the presence of a protonophor, a calcium accumulation in the Ca(2+)-ATPase-sensitive pool could be observed.
