Abstract
Phenylpyrazoles are relatively new insecticides designed to manage problematic insect resistance and public health hazards encountered with older pesticide families. In vitro cytotoxicity induced by the phenylpyrazole insecticides, Ethiprol and Fipronil, and Fipronil metabolites, sulfone and sulfide, was studied in Caco-2 cells. This cellular model was chosen because it made possible to mimic the primary site of oral exposure to xenobiotics, the intestinal epithelium. Assessment of the barrier function of Caco-2 epithelium was assessed by TEER measurement and showed a major loss of barrier integrity after exposure to Fipronil and its metabolites, but not to Ethiprol. The disruption of the epithelial barrier was attributed to severe ATP depletion independent of cell viability, as revealed by LDH release. The origin of energetic metabolism failure was investigated and revealed a transient enhancement of tetrazolium salt reduction and an increase in lactate production by Caco-2 cells, suggesting an increase in glucose metabolism by pesticides. Cellular symptoms observed in these experiments lead us to hypothesize that phenylpyrazole insecticides interacted with mitochondria.

Abstract
The effects of uncouplers (DNP, FCCP), oligomycin, and rotenone on the energetics and mitochondrial ultrastructure in lymphocytes have been studied. We confirmed the previous observations done on Ehrlich ascites and cardiomyocyte culture cells that uncouplers and respiratory inhibitors cause the appearance of ringlike and dumbbell-like mitochondria. It is shown that this effect does not correlate with decrease in ATP concentration, changes in oxygen consumption, or condensation of the mitochondrial matrix. FCCP (2 microM) is more effective in the induction of abnormal-form mitochondria than 240 microM DNP, oligomycin, or rotenone. Combined treatment with DNP, oligomycin, and rotenone or with DNP and rotenone produces an effect as strong as 2 microns FCCP. DNP (240 microM) and FCCP (2 microM) have a similar effect on respiration and intracellular ATP, but only the latter induces condensation of the mitochondrial matrix.

Abstract
The effect of the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin on neoplastic thymocytes in comparison to its effect on normal thymus cells was studied. Ionomycin increases intracellular Ca2+ in normal lymphocytes but fails to increase Ca2+ in neoplastic thymocytes. In these cells the ionophore causes a transient increase in cytosolic free Ca2+. The lack of effect of ionomycin reproduces that of A23187, but it does not depend on reduced availability of intracellular Mg2+ to exchange with Ca2+; it appears to depend on the strong activity of the plasma membrane Ca2+-extruding pump that counteracts ionomycin permeabilization and that can be partly inhibited by the calmodulin inhibitor R24571 (calmidazolium). Neoplastic thymocytes show a high content of magnesium, the intracellular binding of which is efficiently regulated by endogenous ATP. The data show also an interesting correlation between the regulation of energy metabolism (aerobic glycolysis) and cation homeostasis in the neoplastic cells studied.

Abstract
Inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation such as several triorganotin compounds, oligomycin, 2,4-dinitrophenol and carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone suppress energy metabolism of isolated rat thymocytes as indicated by a reduction of ATP levels, an increase in glucose consumption and by a marked accumulation of lactate. Also these compounds effectively inhibit the incorporation of DNA, RNA and protein precursors into acid-precipitable material of thymocytes. Moreover, the prostaglandin E1-induced elevation of cAMP is markedly reduced by these inhibitors. A correlation is observed between the effects on energy metabolism, macromolecular synthesis and cAMP production, since from a series of trialkyltin chlorides, tri-n-propyltin, tri-n-butyltin and tri-n-hexyltin are very effective inhibitors of these functions, while trimethyltin and tri-n-octyltin affect neither of them; other inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation, each of them with quite different mechanisms of action, also inhibit macromolecular synthesis and cAMP production. The finding that a rise in intracellular ATP concentrations leads to a reversion of the tri-n-butyltin-induced inhibition of cAMP production and uridine incorporation, indicates a regulating role for the cellular energy state in these aspects of cellular function.

Abstract
A lipophilic fluorescent cation diS-C3-(5) and rotenone suppress the oxygen consumption rate of thymocytes in similar concentrations. Seventy percent inhibition corresponds to an inhibitor:cytochrome a molar ratio of about 1:1. Addition of uncouplers decreases the inhibition of respiration by diS-C3-(5) (but not rotenone). FCCP in similar concentrations increases O2 consumption in the absence of diS-C3-(5) and the diS-C3-(5) fluorescence intensity in the presence of TMPD in thymocyte suspensions. In most thymocyte preparations, oligomycin (0.05-0.1 microgram/mL) increases the fluorescence of diS-C3-(5) and further addition of TMPD (50-100 microM) decreases the fluorescence. Addition of NaCN (400 microM) after oligomycin leads to a fluorescence increase that is hardly affected by subsequent addition of 0.2 microM FCCP. Nigericin (10-50 nM) decreases the diS-C3-(5) fluorescence. The data indicate that the diS-C3-(5) fluorescence associated with mitochondrial transmembrane potential (delta psi m) may be an essential part of the diS-C3-(5) fluorescence in lymphocyte suspensions. The changes of the diS-C3-(5) fluorescence intensity in the presence of TMPD after FCCP addition reflect delta psi m.

Abstract
The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 increases intracellular calcium content in normal thymic cells, while it is without effect on the corresponding neoplastic cell (Ascites thymoma) and on Ehrlich ascites tumour cells. The A23187-induced total cell calcium increase in normal thymocytes takes place both in control and energy-depleted cells, while it is lacking in neoplastic cells. In addition the ionophore stimulates aerobic glycolysis of normal thymocytes, whereas it is ineffective on neoplastic cells. The study of intracellular calcium exchange properties reveals that in normal cells the ionophore A23187 provokes a 60% increase of the exchangeable pool together with a more significant, 4-fold enlargement of the unexchangeable pool. These effects are lacking in cancer cells. The data give rise to interesting considerations concerning the regulation and compartmentalization of calcium in neoplastic cells. The results will be also discussed in relation to the models that predict altered cell calcium metabolism as a cause of cancer cell high aerobic glycolysis and uncontrolled growth.

Abstract
During a period of prelabeling of mouse thymus cells with any nucleoside at 4 degrees C, nucleoside phosphates accumulated, but no nucleic acid synthesis occurred. Elevating the temperature to 37 degrees C then led to incorporation into the respective nucleic acid reaching a maximum in 5--15 min. Papaverine inhibited this incorporation (IC50:50 muM) and caused an efflux of label into the medium as a nonphosphorylated product. The responses of the different nucleotide phosphate pools showed more dependency on the base then the sugar moeity. The effect of papaverine could not be altered or mimicked by deprivation of oxygen, glucose, or calcium. Mouse spleen cells responded like thymocytes to papaverine, but rat GH3 pituitary cell DNA syntesis was only transiently inhibited with no concomitant efflux of 3H into the medium. As expected, thymus cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), determined by the luciferin-luciferase reaction, decreased in the presence of papaverine; suprisingly, extracellular ATP fell as well. The results suggest that decreases in cellular ATP of mouse thymus cells leads to reductions of all nucleoside phosphates and the efflux of the resultant nucleosides. Papaverine may effect a decrease in the ATP levels by activating a phosphohydrolase rather than, or in addition to, the previously suggested inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport.

Abstract
1. The malate-aspartate cycle was demonstrable in subcellular preparations of hearts from Arapaima, Lepidosiren, and Synbranchus (obligate air breathers), Hoplerythriunus (facultative air breather), and Osteoglossum and Hoplias (obligate water breathers). 2. Although no respiratory evidence for significant alpha-glycerophosphate cycle participation could be shown in the air breathers, this cycle was demonstrable in hearts of water breathers. 3. In agreement with the O2 uptake studies, it was possible to reconstruct the malate-aspartate, but not the alpha-glycerophosphate cycle, in isolated mitochondria from air breathers, while both shuttles could be reconstructed with heart mitochondria in the case of water breathing fishes.

Abstract
Isolated rat thymocytes incubated under proper metabolic conditions extrude Ca2+ previously taken up under metabolically unfavourable conditions. The extrusion can be supported by both respiratory and glycolytic energy but glycolysis seems to be more efficient for this purpose. La3+ (50--200 micron) and the ionophore A 23187 inhibit cell Ca2+ extrusion. Ruthenium Red (1--100 micron) does not influence cell Ca2+ extrusion while it inhibits the in situ mitochondrial cation uptake. All the results are consistent with a cell regulation model of Ca2+ content in which both plasma membrane and mitochondria co-operate, acting in opposite directions, in order to decrease cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. The possibility of Na+-Ca2+ hetero-exchange participation to cell Ca2+ homeostasis regulation is also discussed.
