Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and two strains of normotensive rats were compared with respect to enzymatic activities and calcium accumulation of plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum enriched fractions from their mesenteric arteries. Increased specific activities of alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+-ATPase, and increased ATP-dependent calcium accumulation were found in 5- to 6-month-old SHR as compared to both strains fo age-matched normotensive rats. Alkaline phosphatase was increased in 33-day-old "early hypertensive" and 3- to 4-month-old SHR, but 5'-nucleotidase, Mg2+-ATPase, and calcium accumulation were not. Hydralazine treatment of young SHR partially prevented the increase of both alkaline phosphatase activity and blood pressure that develops with age. The relationship between alkaline phosphatase activity and the alterations in vascular reactivity associated with hypertension remains to be determined.

Na+-K+-ATPase activity and [3H]ouabain binding were studied in cardiac ventricles of single wrapped kidney and DOCA-NaCl hypertensive rats. It was found that the total Na+-K+-ATPase activity decreased in the DOCA-NaCl and kidney wrapped hypertensive rats. The decrease of enzyme activity in DOCA-NaCl hypertensive rats was due to extracellular fluid expansion induced by NaCl loading, as DOCA itself had no effect on the enzyme. All these alterations were specific for Na+-K+-ATPase, since Mg2+-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activities were unaffected. Binding studies with [3H]ouabain showed that the decrease in Na+-K+-ATPase activity was due to a reduction in the number of binding sites for ouabain rather than to a change of binding affinity. The reduced myocardial Na+-K+-ATPase activity observed in these two types of low renin hypertension, coupled with the observation of reduced vascular Na+ pump activity by others, suggests a common underlying defect in the cardiovascular Na+-K+ transport system of these hypertensive rats.

(Na+ -K+)ATPase activity in erythrocyte membranes of spontaneously (SHR), one kidney-one wrapped, and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-NaCl hypertensive rats was studied. (Na+ -K+) ATPase activity decreased in both prehypertensive (6 weeks old) and hypertensive (14 weeks old) stages of SHR, suggesting that the alteration of this enzymic activity may be due to a pre-existing defect in the membrane rather than being a consequence of hypertension. By contrast, (Na+ -K+)ATPase activity remained unchanged in the one kidney-one wrapped hypertensive rats, whereas that of one kidney-one wrapped normotensive rats as well as that of DOCA-NaCl hypertensive rats was increased significantly (P less than 0.05). These changes were specific for (Na+ -K+) ATPase, since Mg2+-ATPase activity was not altered. The susceptibility of (Na+ -K+)ATPase to the inhibitory action of ouabain was not changed significantly. These findings indicate that (Na+ -K+)ATPase activities of erythrocyte membranes isolated from the different types of hypertensive rats were subject to different changes. Whether this phenomenon applies to the clinical distinctions among the various types of hypertension remains a subject for further investigation.

Several operationally defined adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities were determined in vitro in red blood cell lysates of normotensive or hypertensive humans: Mg2+-ATPase, Na+,K+-ATPase, and Ca2+ pump ATPase, the latter in the calmodulin-activated and basal states. Basal Ca2+ pump ATPase was defined as the Ca2+-activated ATPase resistant to 10(-4) M trifluoperazine. Subjects were part of a double-blind study in which treatment was divided into several phases: baseline (4 weeks), placebo or calcium (1 g elemental calcium/day, 8 weeks), placebo washout (4 weeks), placebo or calcium (1 g elemental calcium/day, 8 weeks). Irrespective of the phase of treatment, the basal Ca2+ pump ATPase activity in red blood cell lysates of 36 hypertensive subjects was significantly less than that in lysates from 18 normotensive subjects. Other ATPase activities did not differ significantly, although all ATPases tended to be decreased in hypertension. The data are consistent with previous reports of altered membrane Ca2+ binding and transport in hypertension, but the precise changes are not elucidated.

Alkaline phosphatase, sucrase, Na+,K+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase specific activities of crude membrane fractions, prepared from duodenal, jejunal, ileal and colonic mucosa, have been estimated in three types of hypertensive rats: the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), the DOCA-saline treated rat and the renovascular rat (Goldblatt one-kidney, one-clip rat; 1K-1C). Alkaline phosphatase and sucrase specific activities have been measured in purified jejunal brush-border membranes. When compared with its normotensive age-matched control (WKY rat), the SHR has a lower activity of alkaline phosphatase in duodenal and jejunal crude membrane fractions, whereas a higher activity in colonic Na+,K+-ATPase is recorded. In purified jejunal brush-border membranes, lower alkaline phosphatase activity and higher sucrase activity were found. These differences occur in the young prehypertensive SHR as well as in the adult animal. In the DOCA-treated rat, the only significant alteration in crude membrane fractions is a decreased Mg2+-ATPase activity at all regions of intestinal mucosa. In purified jejunal brush-border membranes both alkaline phosphatase and sucrase activities are increased at 4 or 7 weeks but especially at 13 weeks of hypertension. In the 1K-1C rat, no significant modification appears in crude membrane fractions or in purified jejunal brush-border membranes, but a decrease in alkaline phosphatase and in sucrase activities is probable after 13 weeks of hypertension. Since alterations of the intestinal enzymes are different in the three types of hypertensive rats it is concluded that the changes are not secondary to the hypertension condition. In the SHR, these alterations are present in the young prehypertensive animal.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

An increase in endogenous Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor(s) with digitalis-like properties has been reported in chronic renal insufficiency, in Na+-dependent experimental hypertension and in some essential hypertensive patients. The present study specifies some properties and some biochemical characteristics of a semipurified compound from human urine having digitalis-like properties. The urine-derived inhibitor (endalin) inhibits Na+,K+-ATPase activity and [3H]-ouabain binding, and cross-reacts with anti-digoxin antibodies. The inhibitory effect on ATPases of endalin is higher on Na+,K+-ATPase than on Mg2+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase. The mechanism of endalin action on highly purified Na+,K+-ATPase was compared to that of ouabain and was similar in that it reversibly inhibited Na+,K+-ATPase activity; it inhibited Na+,K+-ATPase non-competitively with ATP; its inhibitory effect was facilitated by Na+; K+ decreased its inhibitory effect on Na+,K+-ATPase; it competitively inhibited ouabain binding to the enzyme; its binding was maximal in the presence of Mg2+ and Pi; it decreased the Na+ pump activity in human erythrocytes; it reduced serotonin uptake by human platelets; and it was diuretic and natriuretic in rat bioassay. The endalin differed from ouabain in only three aspects: its inhibitory effect was not really specific for Na+,K+-ATPase; its binding to the enzyme was undetectable in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP; it was not kaliuretic in rat bioassay. Endalin is a reversible and partial specific inhibitor of Na+,K+-ATPase, its Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition closely resembles that of ouabain and it could be considered as one of the natriuretic hormones.

Disturbances in several, distinct cell membrane ion transport processes have been demonstrated in essential hypertension but their variable relationship to blood pressure in different populations has made it difficult to achieve a unifying hypothesis. We suggest that altered composition of the lipid fraction of the cell membrane is the common underlying factor. This would produce many of the reported perturbations of cell membrane properties and function, not all of which relate directly to the development of hypertension, but which act as markers for the underlying abnormality. However, functions such as phosphoinositol turnover, calcium binding and Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase dependent calcium efflux, which are influenced by the lipid composition of the membrane, provide a possible link between the membrane disturbance, intracellular calcium, vascular smooth muscle contraction and blood pressure. Alteration in the lipid content of the cell membrane not only provides an explanation for the variability in the ion transport abnormalities between populations but perhaps also for some of the variability in blood pressure within a single population. It also provides a potential means of influencing blood pressure by dietary intervention.

We have previously shown that Na+-K+ pump activity (ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake) is decreased in vascular tissue of animals with various forms of low renin hypertension. In the present study we measured Na+-K+-ATPase activity, the energy source for Na+-K+ pumping, in membrane fractions prepared from myocardial tissue of rats with chronic one-kidney, one-clip hypertension and their one-kidney normotensive controls. Membranes were prepared by two independent methods: microsomal fractions (method 1) and fractions prepared by the hypotonic LiBr method of Dhalla et al. (method 2). In membranes prepared from left ventricles of the hypertensive rats (by method 1) Na+-K+-ATPase activity was decreased, Mg2+-ATPase activity was increased, and the sialic acid content and 5'-nucleotidase activity (two putative membrane markers) were unchanged relative to the control rats. The sensitivity of cardiac Na+-K+-ATPase to inhibition by ouabain was also unchanged. Na+-K+-ATPase activity was also decreased in the right ventricles (method 1) of these hypertensive rats, suggesting that this defect is probably not pressure related. In membranes prepared from the left ventricles of the hypertensive rats by method 2, Na+-K+-ATPase activity was again reduced, whereas the Mg2+-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activities were unchanged relative to the controls. These studies suggest that myocardial Na+-K+-ATPase activity is suppressed in rats with this low renin form of hypertension and the possible effect of this suppression on myocardial contractile activity is discussed.

There is growing evidence for essential or genetic hypertension to be associated with certain membrane abnormalities. We have published previous results on biochemical studies performed on erythrocyte membranes of the Okamoto-Aoki spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and its normotensive control the WKY, reporting evidence of structural and functional alterations in the membranes. These changes could lead to increased calcium permeability and possibly compensatory increase in calcium pump activity that we observed concurrently. Chronic ethanol consumption resulted in mild hypertension in the rats used in the present study. The elevation in blood pressure is not associated with gross membrane changes in the erythrocyte. We noticed, however, that there is a slight elevation in the high affinity Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase activities together with a trend towards higher osmotic fragility in the red cells of the ethanol-treated rats when compared with controls. These changes could be the result of concurrent reduction in plasma and membrane cholesterol contents also observed in the ethanol-treated animals.

Basolateral membrane (BLM) enriched fraction was isolated from homogenized rat kidney cortex by differential centrifugation. We also obtained a fraction enriched in plasma membrane (PM). The morphology of the isolated BLM fragments was studied by transmission and freeze fracture electron microscopy. The relative specific activity of Na+-K+-ATPase was enriched 7-fold, while that of marker enzymes for PM, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes was lower than in the crude homogenate. There was a 10-fold difference in the ratios of activities of Na+-k+-ATPase to Mg2+-ATPase in the BLM and in the PM enriched fractions. Kallikrein activity was determined with S-2266 substrate and by radioimmunoassay of kinin released. It was low in the BLM fraction prior to adding detergent, but Triton X-100 increased the activity 12 to 16-fold. Both free trypsin and Sepharose 4B-bound insoluble trypsin increased kallikrein activity 2- to 3-fold in both the membrane-bound and soluble fractions, probably by activating a prekallikrein. The results were interpreted that the kallikrein studied originated from the distal tubular BLM.
