We examined immunohistochemically the localization of three transport enzymes (carbonic anhydrase, Ca-II; sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase, NaK-ATPase; bicarbonate-chloride exchanger, band III) in the anterior segment of the human eye. In accord with earlier studies, NaK-ATPase was primarily found in the corneal endothelium, but also in the corneal basal epithelial cell membranes. In addition, immunoreactivity for NaK-ATPase was observed in the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary processes and between the two epithelial cell layers. Ca-II immunoreactivity was found in the corneal endothelium as well as in the non-pigmented epithelial layer of the ciliary processes. Interestingly, band III immunoreactivity was found in the corneal endothelium, as similar to Ca-II, but not in the ciliary processes. These results show that, similar to many other tissues, Ca-II and band III immunoreactivities colocalize in the same cytologic site in the human corneal endothelium. Immunocytochemical detection of these key transport enzymes not only gives their accurate and reliable anatomical distribution, but also provides information on the electrolyte transport at these sites.

The changes in the magnesium adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+ ATPase) and sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na(+)-K+ ATPase) in gill, brain, liver and muscle tissues of freshwater fish, Cyprinus carpio at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hr exposure periods were studied after subjecting to sublethal concentration (10 micrograms/lit) of fenvalerate. Mg2+ ATPase and Na(+)-K+ ATPase activities were inhibited in all the tissues of fenvalerate exposed fish. The per cent inhibition increased with increase in the period of exposure and the possible reasons for the inhibition patterns are discussed.

Sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) enzyme was determined in the brain tissue of 11 patients with head injury and 6 control patients. Patients with head injury included in this study were selected from two categories: (a) patients in deep coma due to severe head injury [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) less than 8; 6 cases]; (b) patients with depressed skull fractures with dural tears who were conscious and able to give an adequate verbal response (GCS greater than 10; 5 cases). The level of the enzyme was significantly reduced in comatose patients with severe head injury as compared to the controls (P less than 0.001) or to conscious patients with depressed fractures (P less than 0.001). In the group of conscious patients with depressed fractures, the enzyme level was no different from that of the controls (P = 0.4215). All comatose patients with severely reduced enzyme levels subsequently died, whereas those with depressed fractures with normal enzyme levels survived. The relationship between a low enzyme level and brain edema in severe head injury is discussed.

Lacrimal acinar cells secrete macromolecular products in an approximately isotonic, sodium chloride (NaCl)-rich fluid. The mechanisms of macromolecular product secretion depend in part on a recycling traffic of membrane constituents between the Golgi complex and the apical plasma membrane. In contrast, the acinar cell's mechanisms for secreting Na+ and Cl- depend largely on the fluxes of these ions through transporters expressed in the apical and basal-lateral membranes. In addition to accelerating the recycling of secretory vesicle membrane constituents, the cholinergic agonist carbachol also triggers a net redistribution of sodium potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) ion pumps between Golgi-associated pools and the basal-lateral plasma membranes (Yiu SC, et al: J Membrane Biol 102:185, 1988). In the present study, acinar preparations from rat lacrimal glands were stimulated with either carbachol, epinephrine, or isoproterenol. All three agonist stimulated release of the secretory protein lactoperoxidase, but only carbachol significantly accelerated Na+ undirectional influx. Subcellular fractionation analyses of resting and stimulated preparations indicated that carbachol caused a significant translocation of Na,K-ATPase activity from a Golgi-associated compartment to the basal-lateral plasma membranes. Neither adrenergic agonist significantly increased the basal-lateral membrane Na,K-ATPase activity, but each triggered a distinct pattern of redistributions of Na,K-ATPase and the Golgi membrane marker, galactosyltransferase. The carbachol-induced augmentation of basal-lateral membrane Na,K-ATPase activity represents a mechanism by which the cell might compensate for increased Na+ influx.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

N-(1-Pyrene)maleimide is a hydrophobic, sulfhydryl-directed, chemical modification probe which, at a low concentration, inhibits the capacity of lamb kidney sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase [Na,K)-ATPase; EC 3.6.1.3) to bind ouabain. This inhibition is partially blocked by preincubation of the enzyme with ouabagenin, an aglycone derivative which can be used as a reversible protecting ligand for the ouabain binding site. The kinetics of inhibition are not first order, suggesting that there may be more than one site of labeling which is responsible for the inhibition of ouabain binding. Although earlier work (Kirley, T. L., Lane, L. K., and Wallick, E. T. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 4525-4528) indicates that the inhibition is accompanied by a loss in the number of binding sites rather than a decrease in affinity of the sites for the ligand, other data (Scheiner-Bobis, G., Zimmerman, M., Kirch, V., and Schoner, W. (1987) Eur. J. Biochem. 165, 653-656) indicates that there is no cysteine residue located extracellularly in the ouabain binding site. By sequence analysis of alpha subunit peptides labeled by N-(1-pyrene)maleimide in the absence but not in the presence of protecting ligand, it is demonstrated in this work that there are two major sites of labeling protected by the binding of ouabagenin, Cys-367 and Cys-656. Both of these sites are located in the large cytoplasmic domain of the alpha subunit, one close to the phosphorylation site (Asp-369), and the other implicated in the binding of ATP (Cys-656). Therefore, it appears from this data that the inhibition of ouabain binding by N-(1-pyrene)maleimide is not due to modification of a site in the binding pocket for cardiac glycosides, but rather to an allosteric effect, since cardiac glycoside binding is known to be dependent on the phosphorylation state of the enzyme. The dependence of inhibition on the presence of sodium, potassium, and ATP also is consistent with this interpretation. The work reported here thus explains the apparent paradox posed by the earlier data.

Restriction of sodium, potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K(+)-ATPase) to either the apical or basal-lateral membrane domain of polarized epithelial cells is fundamental to vectorial ion and solute transport in many tissues and organs. A restricted membrane distribution of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells was found experimentally to be generated by preferential retention of active enzyme in the basal-lateral membrane domain and selective inactivation and loss from the apical membrane domain, rather than by vectorial targeting of newly synthesized protein from the Golgi complex to the basal-lateral membrane domain. These results show how different distributions of the same subunits of Na+,K(+)-ATPase may be generated in normal polarized epithelial and in disease states.

Sodium-potassium-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase and carbonic anhydrase isozymes I and II were localized immunocytochemically in adenomas, adenocarcinomas, and normal epithelium of human colon harboring non-neoplastic lesions. Non-neoplastic control colon showed carbonic anhydrase I and II in the cytoplasm of the columnar cells lining the upper half of the crypts. Antiserum to sodium-potassium-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase bound to the basolateral but not the apical plasmalemma of columnar epithelial cells. Staining was most intense in the superficial cells, which also contained carbonic anhydrase, but was also evident to a lesser degree in cells deep in the crypts. Adenomas and adenocarcinomas failed to stain for content of carbonic anhydrase but retained basolateral sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase positivity. The staining characteristics of colonic neoplasms for the two enzymes involved in the transport function of colonic epithelium thus resembled those of the less mature cells lining the base of normal crypts.

Glibenclamide, a hypoglycemic sulfonylurea, is a blocker of the adenosine triphosphatase-modulated potassium ion channels. The opening of these channels in the myocardial cells, induced by acute myocardial hypoxia, can be responsible for ischemic ventricular arrhythmias. To evaluate the antiarrhythmic effects of this drug 19 non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients were selected. They had coronary artery disease and evidence on Holter monitoring of ventricular premature complexes or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, or both, induced by transient myocardial ischemia. In all patients, 24-hour electrocardiographic monitoring was performed to evaluate the number and duration of myocardial ischemic events, the frequency of ventricular premature complexes and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia per minute of ischemia and the percentage of ventricular premature complexes versus total ischemic beats. Selected patients were classified in 2 groups: group A (9 patients) received metformin (placebo) and group B (10 patients) was treated with glibenclamide. On the fourteenth day patients underwent 24-hour control monitoring. Then a crossover between the 2 groups was made and a new Holter monitoring sequence was performed at the end of the second phase. Results indicate that glibenclamide significantly (p less than 0.001) reduced both the frequency of ventricular premature complexes and the episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia during transient myocardial ischemia, but did not change the number and duration of acute myocardial ischemic attacks and did not reduce the spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias. Thus, glibenclamide appears to have an antiarrhythmic effect in preventing ventricular arrhythmias induced by transient myocardial ischemia.

Enhanced Na+ and water reabsorption by proximal tubular epithelial cells plays an important role in the development of systemic hypertension associated with cyclosporine immunosuppression. Since such Na+ reabsorption is subserved by sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K ATPase), the current study compared the acute effects of hydrocortisone (H), cyclosporine, and FK506 on cultured LLC-PK1 cell viability and on Na-K ATPase activity. Phospholipase-C (PL-C) activity was also investigated because of its possible regulatory effect on Na-K ATPase activity. Culture medium containing low (5 nM, 4.1 ng/ml) or high (10 nM) concentrations of FK506 plus cyclosporine at 415 microM (500 ng/ml) resulted in cell death, whereas cyclosporine concentrations of 83 microM plus 5 nM or 10 nM FK506, or isolated use of the two drugs at high dosages, did not affect cell viability. As compared with controls, cyclosporine increased Na-K ATPase activity, particularly with addition of H (P less than 0.01). In contrast, FK506 reduced the specific activity of both PL-cyclosporine and Na-K ATPase (P less than 0.001-0.01); addition of H to FK506 resulted in an even greater fall in both the enzyme activities (P less than 0.001). Na-K ATPase activity increased in cell homogenates briefly incubated with cyclosporine in the ATPase reaction mixture (P less than 0.05) while FK506 reduced such enzyme activity (P less than 0.05), suggesting a direct effect of these agents on pump activity. These data in LLC-PK1 cells pocessing proximal tubular epithelial cell characteristics indicate that the combined use of cyclosporine plus FK506 may be very deleterious to viability in such cells. The opposing effects of cyclosporine and FK506 on PL-cyclosporine and Na-K ATPase activities and the possible potentiating effect of H on such responses are speculated to affect Na+ and water homeostasis in a manner that may explain differences in systemic blood pressure due to these agents.

An increase in ambient CO2 tension from 3% to 11% augments colonic Na absorption in the rat. The membrane site of action of CO2 was examined by measuring colonic Na absorption in the Ussing chamber when nystatin was used to permeabilize the luminal (apical) membrane. The equal rates of ouabain-sensitive Na absorption at 3% and 11% CO2 in the presence of nystatin and at 11% CO2 in its absence suggested that CO2 acted at the luminal membrane. This finding was also observed at a submaximal rate of Na absorption (produced by lowering bathing solution Na from 140 to 27 mmol/L) and in a Cl-free solution (to prevent cell swelling). The basolateral membrane was indeed rate limiting for Na absorption in the presence of nystatin, because methylprednisolone (3 mg/kg SC for 3 days to increase sodium-potassium--stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity) increased Na absorption measured in the presence of nystatin and because CO2 increased absorption in steroid-treated rats in the absence of nystatin. These results validate the protocol and confirm the luminal site of action of CO2 and nystatin on colonic Na absorption.
