A form of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) similar in clinical features to human ADPKD occurs in the Persian cat. We characterized the morphologic and immunohistochemical features of this disease in a colony of affected cats. Complete postmortem examinations were performed on 11 normal and 22 affected cats ranging in age from 3 months to 10 years. Kidneys were evaluated by gross and histologic examinations, ultrastructure, lectin staining, bromodeoxyuridine immunochemistry for labeling index and immunochemistry for distribution of Na/K ATPase. Feline ADPKD was characterized by variable numbers of cysts in the renal cortex and medullar. Ultrastructural examination and lectin staining suggested that cysts arose from proximal and distal nephron segments. Bromodeoxyuridine labeling demonstrated increased proliferation of epithelium lining some cysts in young cats. Immunohistochemical staining showed variable translocation of Na/K ATPase from the basolateral membranes of cyst-lining cells to the cytoplasm or luminal membranes. Cystic renal disease commonly was associated with chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis and hepatobiliary hyperplasia and fibrosis. Focal hyperplasia of renal tubular epithelium, hepatic cysts, and cardiac lesions were present in some cats. Feline ADPKD shares many morphologic and pathogenetic features with human ADPKD.

Functional and immunocytochemical studies indicate that intercalated cells in the adult rabbit cortical collecting duct (CCD) possess an H-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (H-K-ATPase). Because growing subjects must retain K+ and excrete H+, we sought to determine whether H-K-ATPase is present in the CCD early in life and, if so, to assess its activity and polarity. H-K-ATPase activity was defined as the initial rate of Sch-28080-inhibitable K+-dependent cell pH (pHi) recovery observed, in the absence of Na+, in response to an in vitro acid load. Transporter activity was assayed in intercalated cells labeled with the pH-sensitive dye 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein and apical cell surface marker rhodamine peanut lectin (PNA) in split-open CCDs isolated from neonatal and adult New Zealand White rabbits. In Na+-free N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid-buffered solutions (nominal absence of CO2/HCO3-), the rate of K+-dependent pH(i) recovery from a NH4Cl-induced acid load was similar in newborn (0.056 +/- 0.015 pH U/min, n = 9) and adult (0.060 +/- 0.019 pH U/min; n = 9, P = not significant) cells. This rate of K+-dependent pH(i) recovery was significantly reduced by 10-20 pM Sch-28080, an inhibitor of gastric H-K-ATPase, in both newborns (0.009 +/- 0.003 pH U/min, n = 7) and adults (0.013 +/- 0.007 pH U/min, n = 9) (P < 0.05 compared with rates in absence of inhibitor). To determine whether the location of the transporter is consistent with a role in K+ absorption and H+ secretion, pH(i) recovery of acutely acid-loaded intercalated cells in neonatal CCDs (n = 7) microperfused and bathed in the absence of Na+ and K+ was monitored after selective addition of K+ to either the luminal or basolateral membrane. Addition of 5 mM K+ led to a significantly greater rate of pH(i) recovery when it was added to the luminal rather than the peritubular solution (0.049 +/- 0.005 vs. 0.018 +/- 0.005 pH U/min, P < 0.05). We conclude that PNA-binding intercalated cells of the neonatal CCD possess H-K-ATPase activity, predominantly located in the apical membrane. This provides a mechanism for H secretion and K+ retention, processes required for growth.

In human neutrophils, the chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenalalanine (fMLP), the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin, and the lectins, concanavalin A (Con A) and mistletoe lectin I (ML I), stimulate the entry of Ca2+ and Na+ with subsequent activation of exocytosis and superoxide anion (O2-) formation. We studied the role of actin in neutrophil activation. The actin filament-disrupting substances, dihydrocytochalasin B (dhCB) and botulinum C2 toxin (C2 toxin) potentiated fMLP- and lectin-stimulated Ca(2+)- and Na+ entry. Lectin-induced Mn2+ entry was enhanced by actin disruption, whereas fMLP-triggered Mn2+ entry was unaffected. dhCB and C2 toxin inhibited fMLP- and lectin-stimulated Ba2+ influx. The actin disrupters also inhibited fMLP- and ML I-induced Sr2+ influx, whereas Con A-stimulated Sr2+ entry was not influenced by dhCB and C2 toxin. Thapsigargin-stimulated cation entry was not altered by actin disruption. DhCB and botulinum C2 toxin potentiated lysozyme release induced by all four stimuli. Con A and ML I per se activated O2- formation only in the presence and not in the absence of dhCB. Con A potentiated the stimulatory effects of ML I on O2- formation in the presence of dhCB and primed neutrophils to respond to ML I in the absence of dhCB. Our data indicate the following: (1) dhCB and C2 toxin uncover the existence of multiple cation entry pathways in neutrophils; (2) actin disruption facilitates exocytosis and O2- formation by enhancement of Ca(2+)- and Na+ entry and by altering the function of proteins involved in activation of secretion and O2- formation; and (3) Con A and ML I, which possess different sugar specificities, activate different signaling pathways in neutrophils.

The oxyntic, or parietal cell has two characteristic membrane systems. The mammalian intracellular canaliculi are specialized networks of narrow channels lined with numerous microvilli. The other common to all oxyntic cells is the tubulovesicles, a system of tubules and vesicles. The tubulovesicular compartment is drastically depleted during maximal gastric acid secretion and this is coincident with an increase in the cell surface membrane area. A plausible explanation of this process is the fusion and transfer of tubulovesicular membranes to the plasma membrane. However, for many years there was no convincing evidence of the connections between these two membrane systems. How the tubulovesicular membranes transform into plasma membrane without demonstrable connections has been an enigma to electron microscopists. Recent ultra-high resolution scanning electron microscopic observation on the rat oxyntic cell treated with aldehyde-osmium-aldehyde method revealed that in the resting stage, the tubulovesicles were isolated spherical vesicles. But after tetragastrin stimulation, they were interconnected by slender connecting tubules forming a tubulovesicular network. Then this network was fused to the intracellular canaliculus at relatively few points. These connections between the tubulovesicles and luminal surface membrane was also demonstrated in the frog oxynticopeptic cells. In this review, these membrane transformations as well as changes of the H+/K(+)-ATPase, the lectin binding glycocalyx and the cytoskeleton during secretion will be illustrated and discussed.

We have examined the in vivo localization of extracellular ecto-ATPase and ecto-apyrase (ATPDase) in adult chicken gizzard and stomach by immunofluorescence and laser scanning confocal microscopy. In chicken gizzard, the ecto-ATPase was distributed in discrete clusters restricted to the sarcolemma of the smooth muscle cells. Anti-ecto-apyrase antibody detected a single 80-kDa band (putative apyrase) in Western blots of both chicken gizzard membrane extracts and partially purified anion exchange fractions, but the antibody did not detect ecto-apyrase in immunolabeled gizzard cryosections. In adult chicken stomach, the ecto-apyrase was observed at the apical membrane of the glandular oxyntico-peptic cells as described in previous immunoperoxidase studies (Stout, J. G., R. S. Strobel, and T. L. Kirley (1995) Biochem. Mol. Biol. Int. 36, 529-535). However, ecto-ATPase was clustered in the sarcolemma of the organized layer of circular smooth muscle and in smooth muscle cells of the septa surrounding the glandular tissue, but not in the glandular cells containing the ecto-apyrase. The findings indicate compartmentalization of the two related extracellular nucleotide hydrolyzing enzymes and suggest differential functions that are specialized for different regions of the chicken stomach. We also partially purified the ecto-apyrase of chicken stomach, an 80-kDa membrane glycoprotein. Chicken stomach membranes were solubilized in digitonin, glycoproteins were separated from solubilized proteins by lectin chromatography, and nucleotide-binding glycoproteins were selected by immobilized Cibacron blue chromatography. Further purification by size exclusion and anion exchange chromatography yielded purification of 94-fold. The ATPase specific activity of the purified stomach ecto-apyrase was 75,000 micromol of Pi/mg of protein/h, and the purified preparation consisted of a major band (55% of total protein) at 80 kDa. The purified enzyme could be deglycosylated with peptide N-glycosidase-F to a core molecular mass of 54 kDa. The N-terminal sequence of the 80-kDa stomach ecto-apyrase band (which reacted with anti-ecto-ATPDase antibodies) was determined to be: MEYKGKVVAGLLTATWV. Immunological cross-reactivity data indicate that the stomach 80-kDa protein isolated is an ecto-apyrase and is related to both the chicken liver and oviduct ecto-ATPDase enzymes characterized earlier, as well as to the human lymphoid cell activation antigen, CD39.

The mechanisms involved in receptor-mediated inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase remain poorly understood. In this study, we evaluate whether inhibition of proximal tubule Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity by dopamine is linked to its removal from the plasma membrane and internalization into defined intracellular compartments. Clathrin-coated vesicles were isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation and negative lectin selection, and early and late endosomes were separated on a flotation gradient. Inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity by dopamine, in contrast to its inhibition by ouabain, was accompanied by a sequential increase in the abundance of the alpha-subunit in clathrin-coated vesicles (1 min), early endosomes (2.5 min), and late endosomes (5 min), suggesting its stepwise translocation between these organelles. A similar pattern was found for the beta-subunit. The increased incorporation of both subunits in all compartments was blocked by calphostin C. The results demonstrate that the dopamine-induced decrease in Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in proximal tubules is associated with internalization of its alpha- and beta-subunits into early and late endosomes via a clathrin-dependent pathway and that this process is protein kinase C dependent. The presence of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase subunits in endosomes suggests that these compartments may constitute normal traffic reservoirs during pump degradation and/or synthesis.

K-dependent H+ extrusion was investigated using fluorescence techniques in rabbit cortical collecting tubules (CCTs). Experiments were performed in split-open tubules from normal animals exposed to the intracellular pH indicator 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). This preparation permitted the study of individual intercalated cells (ICs). In the ICs, partial recovery of pH(i) was observed in response to an acute acid load upon readdition of 5 mM K to the superfusate. This recovery was SCH 28080-inhibitable (10(-5) M) and ouabain-insensitive suggesting the process is mediated by a gastric-type H-K ATPase. To see if H-K ATPase plays a role in acid secretion its function was evaluated under chronic metabolic acidosis (CMA) conditions. CMA was induced by replacing drinking water with 75 mM NH4Cl in 5% sucrose for 10-14 days. The SCH 28080-inhibitable K-dependent pH(i) recovery rate was three-fold higher in CMA ICs compared to controls. To determine the location of the H-K ATPase, CCTs were microperfused and individual peanut lectin binding (PNA) ICs studied. K-dependent pH(i) recovery was measured in response to an NH4Cl pulse. An apical SCH 28080-inhibited K-dependent pH(i) recovery process was observed in control and CMA ICs. Taken together these data confirm the existence of a gastric-type H-K ATPase in ICs of rabbit CCT. Based on our findings the H-K ATPase is found on the apical side of the cell and is stimulated under conditions of CMA.

Alveolar macrophages (m phi) possess two parallel mechanisms for plasmalemmal H+ extrusion: a V-type H+ pump (V-ATPase) and a Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE). To investigate the coordinated functioning of the H+ extruders for m phi intracellular pH (pHi) regulation, we investigated the effects of the plant lectin concanavalin A (ConA) on resident alveolar m phi from rabbits. ConA (1 microM, 30-min pretreatment) activated the m phi for phagocytosis of opsonized Escherichia coli. ConA activation did not affect the baseline pHi of m phi or the initial rate of pHi recovery (dpHi/dt) from an intracellular acid load (acid-loaded pHi nadir approximately 6.9). However, the contributions of Na(+)-independent H+ transport (i.e. V-ATPase activity) and Na(+)-dependent H+ transport (i.e. NHE activity) to dpHi/dt were altered significantly. The lectin stimulated Na+/H+ exchange and inhibited V-ATPase activity. In control m phi, V-ATPase-mediated H+ extrusion was responsible for > 80% of dpHi/dt. Conversely, in ConA-treated m phi, Na+/H+ exchange was responsible for approximately 65% of dpHi/dt, and V-ATPase activity was responsible for only 35% of dpHi/dt. These results underscore the complex mechanisms and signaling pathways that coordinate the activities of cellular acid-base transporters in m phi pHi regulation.

Human Pgp from the vinblastine-resistant cell line, KB-V1, can be purified by sequential conventional chromatography on DEAE-sepharose CL-6B resin followed by a wheat germ agglutinin column. By including glycerol (osmolyte protectant) and lipid during the solubilization and chromatography procedures most of the biological activity of Pgp can be retained. The activity of Pgp in the detergent extract or in the concentrated column fractions is stable for at least 8-10 months when stored at -80 degrees. However, repeated cycles of freezing and thawing of fractions result in considerable loss of activity. We have purified Pgp from KB-C1 (a subclone of KB 3-1 that is resistant to 1 microgram/ml colchicine) by following the same protocol. When this method was used for purification of Pgp from MDR1-transfected NIH 3T3 transfectants (N3-V2400, grown in the presence of 2.4 micrograms/ml vinblastine), the protein was eluted with 0.1 M NaCl from the DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column as usual. However, during WGA lectin chromatography, the protein was eluted with a lower concentration of sugar (0.1 M instead of 0.25 M NAG). This altered elution pattern appears to be due to a difference in the glycosylation of human Pgp in mouse NIH 3T3 cells. This is consistent with the observation that human Pgp expressed in NIH 3T3 cells migrates faster compared to the protein from KB-V1 cells on 8-10% acrylamide gel. Similarly, other workers have purified Chinese hamster Pgp either by a single-step chromatography on Reactive Red 120 agarose or by a combination of anion exchange and immunoaffinity chromatography (see the article by Senior et al. for the purification and properties of ATPase activity of Chinese hamster Pgp). The high level of drug-stimulated ATP hydrolysis by Pgp (Table I), like other ion-transporting ATPases, indicates that this is a high-capacity pump that can function as an effective multidrug transporter. This is further supported by the qualitative demonstration of ATP-dependent vinblastine transport in proteoliposomes reconstituted with pure Pgp (see Fig. 2). Thus, these experiments provide strong evidence that purified Pgp retains its activity and that it functions as an ATP-dependent drug transporter.

This study describes the effects of cytokine peptides released into the supernatant during an early allogeneic reaction (AR) of mouse spleen lymphocytes or brain cortex cells which differ in their major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The peptides were isolated by ultrafiltration, liquid chromatography and HPLC. We found that both peptides stimulated the cell surface Na+,K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities of quiescent spleen lymphocytes in vitro and mimicked early allogeneic cell interactions. Both brain and spleen AR peptides inhibited Concanavalin A-stimulated spleen lymphocyte proliferation, whereas 3H-TdR incorporation into DNA of the E7 neuroblastoma cell line was stimulated by these peptides. The peptide isolated from the supernatant of the allogeneic brain cell reaction inhibited phagocytosis in phorbol myristate-stimulated LA5-9/8 mouse macrophage cell line. Immunosuppressive activity of spleen AR peptide is supported by inhibition of spontaneous E rosette formation by lymphocytes. The immunosuppressive effect of isolated peptide cytokines on lectin-activated lymphocytes was comparable with the serum thymic factor (FTS, Lenfant et al. 1983). These changes demonstrate the pleiotropic cytokine actions mediated by plasma membrane of immune system and brain cells.
