Sarcolemmal Ca++-ATPase, Mg++-ATPase, and (Na+-K+)-ATPase activities were increased in late stages of heart failure in myopathic hamsters (BIO 14.6) without any changes in the adenylate cyclase activity. On the other hand, these hamsters at early and moderate stages of heart failure showed depressions in mitochondrial calcium binding and uptake and microsomal calcium binding. Sarcolemmal (Na+-K+)-ATPase was decreased in failing hearts because of substrate lack, oxygen lack, and perfusion with Ca++-free, Na+-free, or K+-free medium. Both Mg++-ATPase and Ca++-ATPase activities of sarcolemma did not change on perfusing the hearts with substrate-free, hypoxic, Na+-free, or K+-free medium. Adenylate cyclase activity decreased on substrate-free or Ca++-free perfusion. Intracellular calcium overload produced by perfusing the hearts with medium containing calcium after Ca++-free perfusion was associated with decrease in all the sarcolemmal-bound enzyme activities. All types of failing hearts employed in this study showed a dramatic shift in the electrolyte composition. Failure of the cardiac muscle to generate contractile force on treatment with trypsin was associated with defects in the functions of sarcolemma, mitochondria, and sarcoplasmic reticulum, whereas such an effect on treatment with phospholipase C was limited to alterations in the activities of sarcolemma. The data suggest that abnormality at the level of sarcolemma plays an important role in the pathogenesis of heart dysfunction; however, the degree and direction of alterations in the sarcolemmal functions seem to be dependent upon the type of heart failure.

Different antiarrhythmic agents such as quinidine, procaine amide, and lodocaine at 1 mM concentrations were found to depress the ability of an isolated perfused rat heart to generate contractile force. Quinidine, but not procaine amide or lidocaine, decreased calcium uptake by both mitochondrial and microsomal fractions at different concentrations of calcium. The mitochondrial phosphorylation rate, respiratory control index, and state 3 oxygen consumption, but not ADP:O ratio and state 4 oxygen consumption, were depressed by only quinidine. None of these agents had any effect on myofibrillar Mg2+-ATPase or Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activities. On the other hand, sarcolemmal Mg2+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities, but not Na+-K+-ATPase activity, were increased by all these drugs. The sarcolemmal adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) activity was decreased by quinidine only. These results suggest some similarities and differences in the sites of action of quinidine, procaine amide, and lidocaine within the myocardium.

We studied hearts from sham-operated and uninfected catheterized rabbits as well as from rabbits at early and late stages of cardiomyopathy and failure after 3 and 6 days of infection with Streptococcus viridans. No ultrastructural abnormalities or biochemical changes in membrane and myofibrillar activities were seen in 3-day uninfected hearts. In 6-day uninfected hearts there were decreased sarcolemmal M2+ ATPase, Na+-K+ ATPase, adenylate cyclase and calcium binding, microsomal calcium binding and uptake, and myofibrillar Ca2+-stimulated ATPase as well as increased mitochondrial calcium uptake. Slight ultrastructural changes also were apparent in 6-day uninfected hearts. At both early and late stages of infective cardiomyopathy and failure there were varying degrees of depression in sarcolemmal Mg2+ ATPase, Na+-K+ ATPase, adenylate cyclase and calcium binding, microsomal calcium binding, calcium uptake and basal ATPase, and myofibrillar Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activities. However, sarcolemmal Ca2+ ATPase and myofibrillar Mg2+ ATPase activities were decreased only after 6 days of infection. Mitochondrial calcium binding and uptake were increased in early stages but decreased in late stages of disease. Furthermore in infected hearts there were defects in mitrochondrial respiration and phosphorylation. Generalized severe myocardial cell damage involving myofibrils, mitochondria, and the sarcotubular system was seen only in late stages of infection. The results demonstrate impairment of different membrane and contractile protein functions as well as ultrastructural abnormalities in bacterial cardiomyopathic hearts which were absent or of lesser magnitude in hearts with only hypertrophy. The findings reported here suggest to use that there is an association between heart failure and changes in function of cellular components during bacterial infective cardiomyopathy.

The relationship of the mucosal enzyme systems Na+-K+-activated adenosine triphophatase (Na-K-ATPase) and adenylate cyclase and their associated intestinal transport processes was studied in the rat ileum. Two ileal loops were constructed in each anesthetized rat; one loop was inoculated with saline, the other loop with choleragen. Net transport of water and electrolytes was measured in vivo after which enzyme activity was measured in the mucosa of the perfused loops. All doses of choleragen between 5 and 150 mug decreased water movement as early as 3 1/2 h after inoculation. A linear relationship between the dose of choleragen and the level of net water and electrolyte secretion was observed when choleragen doses between 5 and 150 mug were incubated in ileal loops for 4 h. Adenylate cyclase activity was always increased in secreting intestinal loops, whereas Na-K-ATPase was unaffected by choleragen. In animals pretreated with methylprednisolone acetate, 3 mg/100 g per day for 3 days before loop inoculation, saline loops had enhanced mucosal Na-K-ATPase activity had increased net water and electrolyte absorption; choleragen-exposed loops had increased adenylate cyclase and Na-K-ATPase activities, and net absorption of water and electrolytes 4 h after inoculation. These effects of methylprednisolone acetate were still present 19 1/2 h after inoculation. When a single injection of methylprednisolone acetate was given 3 1/2 h after choleragen inoculation, both adenylate cyclase and Na-K-ATPase were activated, and net intestinal absorption of water and electrolytes was observed 19 1/2 h after inoculation. These results suggest that methylprednisolone can prevent and reverse the secretory effects of choleragen by selectively stimulating a coexisting absorptive process.

1. The activities of some membrane-bound enzymes such as adenylate cyclase, Na+ + K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+ + K+-ATPase), Ca2+-stimulated ATPase and Mg2+-stimulated ATPase were examined in heart sarcolemmal fractions from control and cardiomyopathic hamsters at different stages of heart failure. 2. The basal adenylate cyclase activity in sarcolemma from cardiomyopathic animals with early, moderate and late stages of heart failure was not different from the control values whereas the sodium fluoride- and catecholamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were depressed in cardiomyopathic sarcolemma at moderate and late stages. 3. The sarcolemmal Na+ + K+-ATPase activity was decreased and the non-specific phosphatase activity was increased at early, moderate and late stages of heart failure. 4. The sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase activity was decreased at moderate and late stages whereas the Mg2+-ATPase activity was decreased at the late stages of heart failure only. 5. A marked decrease was found in calcium binding by heart sarcolemma from cardiomyopathic hamsters at late stages of failure. 6. These results suggest that dramatic sarcolemmal changes are associated with heart failure, and support the view that membrane abnormalities play a crucial role in the development of myocardial dysfunction, cyclase, calcium binding, heart failure, heart membranes, sarcolemmal enzymes.

Myoepithelial cells of rat and mouse palatine glands are similar in fine structural appearance to those of other exocrine glands and smooth muscle cells. Myoepithelial cells reveal fibrils, and vesicular structures comparable to pinocytic or surface vesicles of smooth muscle cells. Lanthanum-impregnated preparations of the gland reveal that many of these vesicle-like structures are, in fact, invaginations of the plasma membrane and are continuous with the extracellular space. Observations on glandular tissue incubated for the demonstration of ATPase and adenylate cyclase have indicated that a high level of activity of these two enzymes is localized in the plasma membrane of the myoepithelial cells facing the acinar cells, and in vesicular structures along this membrane. The possibility that these enzyme activities are related to contractility of myoepithelial cells is discussed.

The influence of various toxic substances and of drugs with ototoxic side effects upon energy generation, energy utilization, and membrane processes of the cochlea were studied. None of the drugs tested interfered with energy generation to as great an extent as did anoxia or cyanide and 2,4-dinitrophenol. Ouabain produced a pronounced interference with energy utilization of the stria vascularis. The "loop" diuretics ethacrynic acid and furosemide produced a reduction of energy utilization of a lesser degree than did ouabain. The "loop" diuretics do not seem to exert their toxic action upon strial Na+K+-ATPase, but may act by interfering with strial adenylate cyclase. Aminoglycoside antibiotics and diuretic and nondiuretic mercurials seem to exert their primary noxious action upon cochlear function by interfering with membrane processes of the structures bounding the cochlear duct.

A procedure for the isolation of plasma-membrane-enriched fractions from bovine 'pars intermedia' and neurohypophysis is described. Various fractions are isolated by differential centrifugation and discontinuous sucrose density gradients. The plasma-membrane-enriched fractions have a density in sucrose of 1.14 and 1.16 and the yields are 1.8 mg and 1.5 mg per gram of tissue for the pars intermedia and neural lobe, respectively. The fractions are characterized by electron microscopy and enzymatic assays. The plasma membrane fractions are mainly vesicular in nature and are free of nuclei, mitochondria, and microsomes when examined by electron microscopy. 5'-Nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) and Mg2+-(Na+ + K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activities are concentrated in the plasma-membrane-enriched fraction. Also, adenylate cyclase (EC 4.61.1) shows a 5 to 10-fold purification in the isolated membrane fraction. NaF (10mM) gives a two to three-fold stimulation of enzymatic activity in all fractions studied The yields of adenylate cyclase, 5'-nucleotidase, and Mg2+-(Na+ +K+)-ATPase are about 6% in the membrane fraction.

Total and specific activity of cardiac NaK-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) in the rat varied parallel with the thyroid state. The functional state of the thyroid altered the number of NaK-ATPase molecules in the cell; the catalytic activity (turnover number) of individual enzyme molecules did not change. Sensitivity of NaK-ATPase to its specific inhibitor, ouabain, (as estimated from the half-maximal inhibitory concentration of ouabain) was lower in hypothyroidism but remained unchanged in hyperthyroidism relative to the euthyroid state. Action of thyroid hormones appeared to be selective for NaK-ATPase as shown by the behavior of another enzyme of the sarcolemma, adenyl cyclase. Adenyl cyclase of the heart was not affected by hyperthyroidism but was significantly elevated in hypothyroidism relative to euthyroid controls.

Aldosterone (15 microgram BID) and methylprednisolone (8 mg QD) administration to female guinea-pigs augmented both the total and the specific activity of NaK-ATPase but not the activity of adenylate cyclase in the cardiac sarcolemma. The rise in NaK-ATPase was due to increase in the number of enzyme molecules; catalytic activity and ouabain-sensitivity of individual molecules did not change.
