The effects of physical training on beta-adrenergic-receptor density (Bmax) and adenylate cyclase (AC) activity in soleus muscles (type I) and the deep red portion (type IIa) and superficial white portion (type IIb) of vastus lateralis muscles in diabetic rats were investigated. Rats were rendered diabetic with streptozotocin ([STZ] 45 mg/kg intravenously [IV]) and were either kept sedentary ([SD] n = 12) or submitted to a progressive 10-week treadmill running program ([TD] n = 13). A group of normal sedentary rats served as controls ([SC] n = 13). Plasma glucose levels were increased in SD rats in comparison with SC rats (21.3 +/- 1.4 mmol/L v 7.7 +/- 0.2; mean +/- SE, P < .001), but levels were partially reversed to normal by training (10.7 +/- 1.7; P < .01 v SD). The gastrocnemius nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) activity was significantly increased in TD rats in comparison to SC or SD rats (P < .001). The Bmax and antagonist affinity (Kd) determined with 125iodocyanopindolol (ICYP) were not affected by diabetes in any of the three types of muscle. In type I muscle, TD rats showed a significant 67% increase in Bmax compared with that of SD rats (TD 26.7 +/- 2.0 v SD 16.0 +/- 1.0; P < .001). In type IIa muscle, Bmax was significantly higher by 68% in TD rats as compared with SD rats (TD 16.5 +/- 1.7 v SD 9.8 +/- 0.9 fmol/mg protein; P < .01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The beta-adrenergic receptor adenylate cyclase system of ventricular tissue was evaluated in a group of rats submitted to a progressive 10-wk running program on a treadmill and compared with that in a group of rats maintained sedentary during the same period. Adequate training was confirmed by a 46% increase in the gastrocnemius isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in the trained group [1.50 +/- 0.04 vs. 1.03 +/- 0.06 (SE) pmol.g-1.min-1; P less than 0.01). Binding studies with [125I]iodocyanopindolol showed a 13% reduction in the density of beta-adrenergic receptors in trained rats (42.6 +/- 2.1 vs. 49.0 +/- 2.1 fmol/mg; P less than 0.05) without any significant modification in the dissociation constant. The amount of [125I]iodocyanopindolol bound to beta-adrenoceptors in the high-affinity state was reduced by 16.6% in trained rats (12.5 +/- 0.9 vs. 15.0 +/- 0.5 fmol/mg; P less than 0.05) without any significant changes for those in the low-affinity state, indicating a decrease in the coupling between the beta-adrenergic receptors and the guanine stimulatory binding protein. Furthermore, although the basal and sodium fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were similar in the two groups of rats, the response of adenylate cyclase maximally stimulated by 10(-5) M isoproterenol was reduced by 16% in trained rats (29.7 +/- 1.4 vs. 35.3 +/- 1.3 pmol.mg-1.min-1; P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The phosphorylation of NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase in a wild-type and in an adenylate cyclase deletion mutant of Escherichia coli has been investigated. The results obtained clearly indicate that cyclic AMP is not required for the phosphorylation reaction per se, not is it for the synthesis or possible activation of the phosphoprotein kinase in this organism. This data are in contrast to results observed in Salmonella typhimurium, and indicate that important differences exist in the phosphorylation of the isocitrate dehydrogenase in these two organisms.

This study investigated the proteomic changes at different time points in the precipitated pellets of rat spinal cords after applying complete spinal cord transection. By two-dimensional electrophoresis, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, MALDI-TOF/TOF and peptide mass fingerprinting analysis, 44 proteins were identified, most of which are membrane and/or organellar proteins. They are mainly involved in metabolic processes (75%), developmental processes (30%), or responses to stimuli (30%), playing negative or positive roles. In particular, decreases of pyruvate dehydrogenase beta, aconitase 2, fumarate hydratase 1, and ATP synthase subunit 6 can lead to ATP depletion by crippling tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Decreases of several antioxidant proteins such as catalase, peroxiredoxin 1, Parkinson disease 7, and stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 can contribute to the secondary injury of spinal cord. Decreases of development-related 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase and stathmin 1 may be not propitious for spinal cord regeneration. On the other hand, increases of isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 alpha/gamma and glutamate dehydrogenase 1 can help compensate the impaired energy metabolism. Increases of sirtuin 2, crystallin alpha B (CRYAB), and heat shock 27-kDa protein 1 can help resist stresses induced by injury. Increases of adenylate cyclase-associated protein 1 and galactose binding lectin 3 can help regeneration by replaying their roles in neural development. To our knowledge, this is the first case of characterization of the proteomic changes seen in the precipitated fraction of injured spinal cord. Most of the identified proteins were found for the first time to be differentially expressed after spinal cord injury, which may provide new clues about the molecular mechanisms of spinal cord injury and repair.
