Cultures of osteoblastlike cells obtained from the endosteal surfaces of rabbit long bones formed and mineralized an extracellular matrix when they were supplied daily with medium containing fresh ascorbate. No matrix formed without this supplementation. The matrix mineralized whether or not beta-glycerophosphate, a substrate of alkaline phosphatase, was added to the medium. The ion-transporting ATPase activities of untreated, ascorbate-treated, and ascorbate plus beta-glycerophosphate-treated cells were measured. Ascorbate-treated and ascorbate plus beta-glycerophosphate-treated cells had similar enzyme activities. The activities of the Ca2+-ATPase; Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase; and alkaline phosphatase in treated cells were elevated over the activities in untreated cells. Na+,K+-ATPase activity was lower in treated than in untreated cells. HCO3--ATPase activity was not changed by treatment. Alkaline phosphatase activity was 20 times higher in freshly isolated osteoblastlike cells than in cells grown to confluence in primary culture. In addition, subculturing further reduced the activity of this osteoblast-marker enzyme. The activities of the ion-transporting ATPases and alkaline phosphatase in second passage cells were similar to the activities of these enzymes in fresh, noncalcifying tissues. Nevertheless, second passage cells retain the ability to mineralize an extracellular matrix, and their ion-transporting ATPase and alkaline phosphatase activities are altered when the cells mineralize a matrix.

Chronic dieldrin administration to rats (5 mg/kg/day) produced pathological changes in liver and kidney tissues. Dieldrin treated rats showed high levels of liver ascorbic acid and increased activities of inorganic pyrophosphatase in brain and glucose-6-phosphatase in liver. The activities of Mg2+-ATPase in liver and acetylcholinesterase in brain were decreased under toxic doses of dieldrin. L-Ascorbic acid supplements in treated animals could partially prevent the pathological alterations, as observed histologically in liver and kidney tissues. Administration of this vitamin could also prevent alterations in some enzyme activities produced by toxic dieldrin doses.

The relationship between adenylate cyclase activity in the synaptic membrane fraction (M1) of rat brain and lipid peroxidation of these membranes was examined. In the presence of 5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 1 to 10 microM Fe/+ activated adenylate cyclase 2- to 4-fold. Of several metal ions, Fe2+ was the most effective. Other enzymes in M1, such as Mg2+-ATPase, (Na+-K+)-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, acetylcholinesterase, and phosphodiesterase, were not activated by Fe2+ plus DTT. Activation of adenylate cyclase by Fe2+ plus DTT was accompanied by production of malondialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation. Formation of malondialdehyde was completely parallel with enzyme activation. Ascorbic acid or a NADPH system also stimulated enzyme activity and caused lipid peroxidation. Activation of the enzyme and lipid peroxidation induced by Fe2+ plus DTT, ascorbic acid, or NADPH was completely prevented by simultaneous addition of N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine, an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation. This inhibitor also prevented the decrease in turbidity of the enzyme preparation induced by Fe2+ plus DTT. The stimulatory effects of NaF, guanylyl-5'-imidodiphosphate and calmodulin, respectively, and that of Fe2+ plus DTT on the enzyme activity were additive. Activation of adenylate cyclase by Fe2+ plus DTT was only observed in brain synaptic membranes, not in erythrocyte ghosts, liver plasma membranes, or cardiac sarcolemma. These results indicate that lipid peroxidation of synaptic membranes was accompanied by specific stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity.
