(Na+,K+)ATPase activity of rat liver plasma membranes was evaluated in female rats feeding an ethanol containing diet for 46 days (total ethanol ingested, 59.7 g/100 g body wt). Determinations were performed at the end of ethanol treatment or at various times after stopping treatment. (Na+,K+)ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activities exhibited a 8- and 1.4-fold decrease, respectively, at the end of ethanol ingestion. In contrast no modifications of Mg2+-ATPase activity were observed. There also occurred, in ethanol-treated rats, release of sorbitol dehydrogenase into the blood, fat accumulation in liver cells, and decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) liver content. A decrease in (Na+,K+)ATPase activity was also found in plasma membranes isolated from hepatocyte suspensions after a 2-hr incubation with 50 mM ethanol or 1 mM acetaldehyde (ACA), in conditions that caused a great fall in hepatocyte GSH content but did not cause cell death. After the cessation of ethanol administration, there occurred a progressive recovery of (Na+,K+)ATPase activity, GSH and triacylglycerol content, and release of sorbitol dehydrogenase. These parameters reached control values 12 hr after ethanol withdrawal. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), L-methionine, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), given to rats during ethanol treatment, prevented the decrease in (Na+,K+)ATPase activity and GSH content. They also reduced steatosis and liver necrosis. The efficiency of these compounds decreased in this order: SAM, methionine, NAC. SAM accelerated the recovery of all parameters studied after ethanol withdrawal, and also protected (Na+,K+)ATPase activity and GSH content of isolated hepatocytes from the deleterious effect of ethanol. These SAM effects were prevented by 1-chloro-2,4-dinitro-benzene, a compound which depletes cell GSH. Treatment of isolated hepatocytes with [35S]SAM led to the synthesis of labeled GSH. The total amount and specific activity of labeled GSH underwent a significant increase, in the presence of 2 mM ethanol or 0.5 mM ACA, which indicates a marked stimulation of GSH synthesis by ethanol and ACA. These data indicate that ethanol intoxication may inhibit (Na+,K+)ATPase activity; an effect that does not seem to depend on cell necrosis. SAM, methionine, and NAC exert various degrees of protection toward ethanol-induced cell injury, which are related to the efficiency of these compounds in maintaining a high GSH pool.

The effect of chronic acetaldehyde inhalation on (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activities of subcellular fractions of the rat cerebral cortex was studied. Chronic administration of acetaldehyde by inhalation for 4-21 weeks caused significant increases in the enzyme activities of both the synaptosomal plasma membrane (SPM) fraction and the microsomal (MC) fraction. This indicates the change in neural membrane functions of the brain after acetaldehyde treatment. Mg2+-ATPase activities of both subcellular fractions remained unchanged after acetaldehyde treatment.

The effects of mild periodate exposure on the kinetics of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and K+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase were studied using rat cerebral microsome preparations. Fifty percent inhibition of both enzyme activities was attained near 3 microM periodate concentrations. This inhibition was biphasic with time. Mg2+-ATPase and Mg2+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities were much less inhibited by periodate. Periodate inhibition was partially reversed by dimercaprol and dithiothreitol but not by diffusion. The possible reaction products formic acid, formaldehyde, glyceraldehyde, and acetaldehyde had no inhibitory effects in similar concentrations. Periodate exposure produced no detectable changes in the activation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by Na+, K+, Mg2+, or ATP. Residues shared by both (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and K+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase are both critical to hydrolytic function and sensitive to mild oxidation by periodate.
