The role of AMPK in regulation of Na +,K +-ATPase in skeletal muscle: does the gauge always plug the sink? J Muscle Res Cell Motil 2021; 42:77-97.

Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a cellular energy gauge and a major regulator of cellular energy homeostasis. Once activated, AMPK stimulates nutrient uptake and the ATP-producing catabolic pathways, while it suppresses the ATP-consuming anabolic pathways, thus helping to maintain the cellular energy balance under energy-deprived conditions. As much as ~ 20-25% of the whole-body ATP consumption occurs due to a reaction catalysed by Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA). Being the single most important sink of energy, NKA might seem to be an essential target of the AMPK-mediated energy saving measures, yet NKA is vital for maintenance of transmembrane Na+ and K+ gradients, water homeostasis, cellular excitability, and the Na+-coupled transport of nutrients and ions. Consistent with the model that AMPK regulates ATP consumption by NKA, activation of AMPK in the lung alveolar cells stimulates endocytosis of NKA, thus suppressing the transepithelial ion transport and the absorption of the alveolar fluid. In skeletal muscles, contractions activate NKA, which opposes a rundown of transmembrane ion gradients, as well as AMPK, which plays an important role in adaptations to exercise. Inhibition of NKA in contracting skeletal muscle accentuates perturbations in ion concentrations and accelerates development of fatigue. However, different models suggest that AMPK does not inhibit or even stimulates NKA in skeletal muscle, which appears to contradict the idea that AMPK maintains the cellular energy balance by always suppressing ATP-consuming processes. In this short review, we examine the role of AMPK in regulation of NKA in skeletal muscle and discuss the apparent paradox of AMPK-stimulated ATP consumption.

Abstract
Leaves develop as flat lateral organs from the indeterminate shoot apical meristem. The establishment of polarity along three-dimensional axes, proximal-distal, medial-lateral, and adaxial-abaxial axes, is crucial for the growth of normal leaves. The mutations of ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 (AS1) and AS2 of Arabidopsis thaliana cause defects in repression of the indeterminate state and the establishment of axis formation in leaves. Although many mutations have been identified that enhance the adaxial-abaxial polarity defects of as1 and as2 mutants, the roles of the causative genes in leaf development are still unknown. In this study, we found that wild-type plants treated with berberine produced pointed leaves, which are often observed in the single mutants that enhance phenotypes of as1 and as2 mutants. The berberine-treated as1 and as2 mutants formed abaxialized filamentous leaves. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid compound naturally produced in various plant sources, has a growth inhibitory effect on plants that do not produce berberine. We further showed that transcript levels of meristem-specific class 1 KNOX homeobox genes and abaxial determinant genes were increased in berberine-treated as1 and as2. Berberine treated plants carrying double mutations of AS2 and the large subunit ribosomal protein gene RPL5B showed more severe defects in polarity than did the as2 single mutant plants. We suggest that berberine inhibits (a) factor(s) that might be required for leaf adaxial cell differentiation through a pathway independent of AS1 and AS2. Multiple pathways might play important roles in the formation of flat symmetric leaves.

Abstract
All the anomalous reactions secondary to food ingestion are defined as 'adverse reactions to food'. In 1995 the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology suggested a classification on the basis of the responsible pathogenetic mechanism; according to this classification, non-toxic reactions can be divided into 'food allergies' when they recognize immunological mechanisms, and 'food intolerances' when there are no immunological implications. The diagnostic approach to adverse reactions to food is based on accurate clinical history and objective examination, and further execution of specific tests when allergy or intolerance is suspected. The therapy for food allergies is the elimination of the food to which hypersensibility has been found; this strategy can lead, especially in pediatric age, to tolerance. If elimination diets cannot be completely performed, or if it is not possible to identify the food to eliminate, some drugs (e.g. antihistaminics, steroids, etc.) can be administered. Specific allergen immunotherapy has been recently introduced. Fundamental is food allergy prevention, especially in high-risk subjects. The therapeutic approach to secondary food intolerances is based principally on primitive disease resolution; on the other hand, some specific treatments (e.g. beta-galactosidases in lactose malabsorption) are available in case of primary intolerance.

Abstract
1. We report for the first time on the production and characterization of antibodies against a naturally occurring tetrahydroisoquinoline, namely salsolidine (6,7-dimethoxy-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline). 2. Immunogen synthesis was carried out by coupling the hapten salsolidine to bovine serum albumin (BSA) as carrier protein on the basis of reductive amination. 3. By immunization of rabbits with salsolidine-BSA conjugate antisalsolidine antibodies were produced. 4. At a final dilution of 1:1700 the highest-titre antiserum bound 35% of 0.21 pmol [3H]salsolidine. This antiserum was used to develop a radioimmunoassay for salsolidine. 5. Cross-reactivity studies revealed a high specificity of the antiserum to the hapten. 6. The antibodies had a high affinity to salsolidine (Ka = 1.5 x 10(9) M-1). 7. Standard curves covered a measuring range of 0.5-70 pmol/tube and the detection limit was found to be 0.27 pmol/tube.

Abstract
Experimental results and theoretical considerations on the biology of alcoholism are devoted to the following topics: genetically determined differences in metabolic tolerance; participation of the alternative alcohol metabolizing systems in chronic alcohol intake; genetically determined differences in functional tolerance of the CNS to the hypnotic effect of alcohol; cross tolerance between alcohol and centrally active drugs; dissociation of tolerance and cross tolerance from physical dependence; permanent effect of uncontrolled drinking behavior induced by alkaloid metabolites in the CNS; genetically determined alterations in the function of opiate receptors; and genetic predisposition to addiction due to innate endorphin deficiency. For the purpose of introducing the most important research teams and their main work, statements from selected publications of individual groups have been classified as to subject matter and summarized. Although the number for summary-quotations had to be restricted, the criterion for selection was the relevance to the etiology of alcoholism rather than consequences of alcohol drinking.

Abstract
The interaction of rat liver and bovine heart mitochondria with a series of fluorescent, cationic berberine derivatives varying in the length of alkyl chain has been investigated. An increase in the hydrophobicity of the derivative was accompanied by a larger value of the partition coefficient and by binding to a more hydrophobic region of the inner mitochondrial membrane. It was found that berberines could be used as sensitive indicators of processes which take place on the outer surface of the mitochondrial membrane; the greatest (15-fold) increase in fluorescence was obtained with 13-methylberberine in the energized state of mitochondria. The fluorescence increase was due to the increase in fluorescence quantum yield although a small increase in the amount of bound derivative could also be detected upon energization. The fluorescence was linearly dependent on the magnitude of the membrane potential. In parallel with an observed fluorescence enhancement a considerable decrease in rotational mobility was found. We suggest that berberines move in the inner membrane according to the polarity of the membrane potential; consequently, deeper immersion in the less polar region in the energized state brings about a larger fluorescence increase. More hydrophobic derivatives inhibited NAD-linked respiration in rat liver mitochondria but exerted no effect on succinate oxidation up to 10 microM concentration.

Abstract
Representatives of four different classes of isoquinoline alkaloids (aporphines, benzylisoquinolines, tetrahydroisoquinolines, and phthalideisoquinolines) inhibit glutamate dehydrogenase activity in both reaction directions. Representatives of five other groups of isoquinoline alkaloids have been without any significant effect on this enzyme. The structural requirements for the interaction of alkaloids with glutamate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase are different. From the analysis of inhibition and from fluorescence-polarization data it follows that for an efficient binding of these alkaloids to glutamate dehydrogenase the presence of coenzyme is necessary. The effects of substrates on the interaction of the enzyme with alkaloids are small. Experiments with other ligands of glutamate dehydrogenase have been done to locate the binding site of the enzyme for alkaloids. The observed kinetic competition of isoquinoline alkaloids with thyroxine might indicate common or overlapping binding sites of glutamate dehydrogenase for these compounds.

Abstract
There is now substantial evidence that several TIQs and beta-carbolines are present in vivo and increase during certain pathological conditions. It still remains to be determined, however, precisely what roles they play in endogenous functions and whether or not they are critical for the expression of these pathological conditions. Accumulating biochemical information continues to support the notion that these compounds can act as false transmitters. The exciting new findings, which will certainly receive a great deal more attention, concern the interaction of some of the beta-carbolines with the benzodiazepine receptor. Determining if a beta-carboline is an endogenous receptor ligand will attract further research interest on the theoretical and specifically clinically-directed levels. Biochemical, morphological, and behavioral data indicate that some of the condensation products can act as neurotoxins. Very few experiments have included an examination of long-term effects of exposure to one of these alkaloids, so the amount of information on this issue is limited. Chronic rather than acute administration of an alkaloid is more likely to mimic the pathological states in which these compounds are hypothesized to play a role. Biochemically, both the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems have been shown to be affected by chronic treatments with certain alkaloids. Progressive and long-term behavioral alterations also have been reported. Such changes may reflect an adaptation to an increase or decrease in activity of particular systems or a neurotoxic action.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic products of neuroamines and endogenous carbonyl compounds are apparent "normal" products in human metabolism, and their levels become increased during pathological conditions. DA condensation products--salsolinol, its O-methylated derivative, and methylated derivatives of 1-carboxyl-THP--are found normally in human urine, and the last TIQ is in human brain. Potential beta-carboline condensation products also occur in (aging) human lens tissue. Chronic drinking in alcoholics causes significant increases in urinary salsolinol and O-methyl-salsolinol, presumably due to the increased AcH which is made available. L-DOPA therapy (in Parkinson's disease) elevates urinary and tissue levels of the carboxylated THP derivatives, as well as of salsolinol and THP itself; hyperphenylalaninemia during PKU also increases tissue levels of a DA/phenylpyruvate-derived TIQ and an imine condensate of phenylethylamine and vitamin B6. These unusual products may interfere with neural dynamic processes, and produce cytotoxic metabolites.
