Abstract
Caloric restriction (CR) is known as the only non-genetic method proven to slow the rate of aging and extend lifespan in animals. Free radicals production emerges from normal metabolic activity and generates the accumulation of oxidized macromolecules, one of the main characteristics of aging. Due to its central role in cell bioenergetics, a great interest has been paid to CR-induced modifications in mitochondria, where CR has been suggested to decrease reactive oxygen species production. The plasma membrane contains a trans-membrane redox system (PMRS) that provides electrons to recycle lipophilic antioxidants, such as α-tocopherol and coenzyme Q (CoQ), and to modulate cytosolic redox homeostasis. In the present study, we have investigated age differences in the PMRS in mouse liver and their modulation by CR. Aging induced a decrease in the ratio of CoQ10/CoQ9 and α-tocopherol in liver PM from AL-fed mice that was attenuated by CR. CoQ-dependent NAD(P)H dehydrogenases highly increased in CR old mice liver PMs. On the other hand, the CoQ-independent NADH-FCN reductase activity increased in AL-fed animals; whereas, in mice under CR this activity did not change during aging. Our results suggest that liver PMRS activity changes during aging and that CR modulates these changes. By this mechanism CR maintains a higher antioxidant capacity in liver PM of old animals by increasing the activity of CoQ-dependent reductases. Also, the putative role of PMRS in the modulation of redox homeostasis of cytosol is implicated.

Abstract
The plasma membrane of animal cells contains an electron transport system based on coenzyme Q (CoQ) reductases. Cytochrome b5 reductase is NADH-specific and reduces CoQ through a one-electron reaction mechanism. DT-diaphorase also reduces CoQ, although through a two-electron reaction mechanism using both NADH and NADPH, which may be particularly important under oxidative stress conditions. Because reduced CoQ protects membranes against peroxidations, and also maintains the reduced forms of exogenous antioxidants such as alpha-tocopherol and ascorbate, this molecule can be considered a central component of the plasma membrane antioxidant system. Stress-induced apoptosis is mediated by the activation of plasma membrane-bound neutral sphingomyelinase, which releases ceramide to the cytosol. Ceramide-dependent caspase activation is part of the apoptosis pathway. The reduced components of the plasma membrane antioxidant system, mainly CoQ, prevent both lipid peroxidation and sphingomyelinase activation. This results in the prevention of ceramide accumulation and caspase 3 activation and, as consequence, apoptosis is inhibited. We propose the hypothesis that antioxidant protective function of the plasma membrane redox system can be enough to protect cells against the externally induced mild oxidative stress. If this system is overwhelmed, intracellular mechanisms of protection are required to avoid activation of the apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
Ascorbate is stabilized in the presence of HL-60 cells. This stabilization has been questioned as a simple chemical effect. Further properties and controls about the enzymatic nature of this stabilization are described and discussed. Our results showed that cAMP derivatives and cAMP-increasing agents stimulated the ability of HL-60 cells to stabilize ascorbate. On the other hand, tunicamycin, a glycosylation-interfering agent, inhibited this ability. These data, together with hormonal regulation, support the hypothesis of an enzymatic redox system located at the plasma membrane as being responsible for the extracellular ascorbate stabilization by HL-60 cells.

Abstract
Transplasma membrane electron transport from HeLa cells, measured by reduction of ferricyanide or diferric transferrin in the presence of bathophenanthroline disulfonate, is inhibited by low concentrations of adriamycin and adriamycin conjugated to diferric transferrin. Inhibition with the conjugate is observed at one-tenth the concentration required for adriamycin inhibition. The inhibitory action of the conjugate appears to be at the plasma membrane since (a) the conjugate does not transfer adriamycin to the nucleus, (b) the inhibition is observed within three minutes of addition to cells, and (c) the inhibition is observed with NADH dehydrogenase and oxidase activities of isolated plasma membranes. Cytostatic effects of the compounds on HeLa cells show the same concentration dependence as for enzyme inhibition. The adriamycin-ferric transferrin conjugate provides a more effective tool for inhibition of the plasma membrane electron transport than is given by the free drug.

Abstract
Transformation of 3T3 cells by SV40 virus changes the properties of the transplasma membrane electron transport activity which can be assayed by reduction of external ferric salts. After 42 h of culture and before the growth rate is maximum, the transformed cells have a much slower rate of ferric reduction. The change in activity is expressed both by change in Km and Vmax for ferricyanide reduction. The change in activity is not based on surface charge effect or on tight coupling to proton release or on intracellular NADH concentration. With transformation by SV40 virus infection the expression of transferrin receptors increases, which correlates with greater diferric transferrin stimulation of the rate of ferric ammonium citrate reduction in transformed SV40-3T3 cells than in 3T3 cells.

Abstract
Transplasm membrane electron transport in both plant and animal cells activates proton release. The nature and components of the electron transport system and the mechanism by which proton release is activated remains to be discovered. Reduced pyridine nucleotides are substrates for the plasma membrane dehydrogenases. Both plant and animal membranes have unusual cyanide-insensitive oxidases so oxygen can be the natural electron acceptor. Natural ferric chelates or ferric transferrin can also act as electron acceptors. Artificial, impermeable oxidants such as ferricyanide are used to probe the activity. Since plasma membranes contain b cytochromes, flavin, iron, and quinones, components for electron transport are present but their participation, except for quinone, has not been demonstrated. Stimulation of electron transport with impermeable oxidants and hormones activates proton release from cells. In plants the electron transport and proton release is stimulated by red or blue light. Inhibitors of electron transport, such as certain antitumor drugs, inhibit proton release. With animal cells the high ratio of protons released to electrons transferred, stimulation of proton release by sodium ions, and inhibition by amilorides indicates that electron transport activates the Na+/H+ antiport. In plants part of the proton release can be achieved by activation of the H+ ATPase. A contribution to proton transfer by protonated electron carriers in the membrane has not been eliminated. In some cells transmembrane electron transport has been shown to cause cytoplasmic pH changes or to stimulate protein kinases which may be the basis for activation of proton channels in the membrane. The redox-induced proton release causes internal and external pH changes which can be related to stimulation of animal and plant cell growth by external, impermeable oxidants or by oxygen.

Abstract
Ascorbate was maintained in the media during a long-term culture by HL-60 cells. The chemical oxidation of ascorbate was reversed in vitro by living HL-60 cells and was related to the amount of cells added. The increase of NADH concentration by lactate addition to cells was accompanied by an increase of both ascorbate regeneration and ferricyanide reduction. Further, plasma membrane enriched fractions from HL-60 cells revealed enhancement of both ascorbate regeneration and ferricyanide reduction in the presence of NADH when previously treated with detergent. The blockage of cell surface carbohydrates by wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and Concanavalina ensiformis (Con A) lectins significantly inhibited the regeneration of ascorbate caused by the cells. These results support the idea that ascorbate is externally regenerated by the NADH-ascorbate free radical reductase as a part of the transplasma membrane redox system.

Abstract
Retinoic acid inhibits the reduction of diferric transferrin through the transplasma membrane electron transport system on fetal rat liver cells infected with a temperature-sensitive SV40 virus when the cells are in the nontransformed state cultured at 40 degrees C. When the cells are in the transformed state (grown at the permissive 33 degrees C temperature), retinoic acid does not inhibit the diferric transferrin reduction. Inhibition of activity of nontransformed cells is specific for retinoic acid with only slight inhibition by retinol and retinyl acetate at higher concentrations. Isolated rat liver plasma membrane NADH diferric transferrin reductase is also inhibited by retinoic acid. The effect of transformation with SV40 virus to decrease susceptibility to retinoic acid inhibition stands in contrast to much greater adriamycin inhibition of diferric transferrin reduction in the transformed cells than in nontransformed cells.

Abstract
Transplasmalemma electron transport by HeLa and pineal cells to reduce external ferricyanide is associated with proton release from the cells. Diferric transferrin also acts as an electron acceptor for the transmembrane oxidoreductase. We now show that reduction of external diferric transferrin by RPNA-209-1 SV40 transformed pineal cells is accompanied by proton release from the cells. The stoichiometry of proton release to electron transfer is much greater than would be expected from aniostropic electron flow across the membrane through protonated carriers. The proton release is not stimulated by apotransferrin and the diferric transferrin-stimulated activity is inhibited by apotransferrin. Apotransferrin also inhibits reduction of diferric transferrin by these cells. The proton release is dependent on external sodium ions and is inhibited by amiloride, which indicates that the proton release is mediated by the Na+/H+ antiport and that this antiport is activated by electron transport through the transmembrane dehydrogenase. Growth stimulation by diferric transferrin or other external oxidants can be based in part on activation of the Na+/H+ antiport.
