Microsomal and Cytosolic Scaling Factors in Dog and Human Kidney Cortex and Application for In Vitro-In Vivo Extrapolation of Renal Metabolic Clearance. Drug Metab Dispos 2017; 45:556-568. [PMID: 28270564 PMCID: PMC5399648 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.117.075242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2017] [Accepted: 02/27/2017] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In vitro-in vivo extrapolation of drug metabolism data obtained in enriched preparations of subcellular fractions rely on robust estimates of physiologically relevant scaling factors for the prediction of clearance in vivo. The purpose of the current study was to measure the microsomal and cytosolic protein per gram of kidney (MPPGK and CPPGK) in dog and human kidney cortex using appropriate protein recovery marker and evaluate functional activity of human cortex microsomes. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) content and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activity were used as microsomal protein markers, whereas glutathione-S-transferase activity was a cytosolic marker. Functional activity of human microsomal samples was assessed by measuring mycophenolic acid glucuronidation. MPPGK was 33.9 and 44.0 mg/g in dog kidney cortex, and 41.1 and 63.6 mg/g in dog liver (n = 17), using P450 content and G6Pase activity, respectively. No trends were noted between kidney, liver, and intestinal scalars from the same animals. Species differences were evident, as human MPPGK and CPPGK were 26.2 and 53.3 mg/g in kidney cortex (n = 38), respectively. MPPGK was 2-fold greater than the commonly used in vitro-in vivo extrapolation scalar; this difference was attributed mainly to tissue source (mixed kidney regions versus cortex). Robust human MPPGK and CPPGK scalars were measured for the first time. The work emphasized the importance of regional differences (cortex versus whole kidney–specific MPPGK, tissue weight, and blood flow) and a need to account for these to improve assessment of renal metabolic clearance and its extrapolation to in vivo.

Abstract
Diverse methodologies, ranging from activity measurements in various nuclear subfractions to electron microscopy, have been used to demonstrate and establish that many of the key lipids and enzymes responsible for the metabolism of inositol lipids are resident in nuclei. PtdIns(4)P, PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdOH are all present in nuclei, as well as the corresponding enzyme activities required to synthesise and metabolise these compounds. In addition other non-inositol containing phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine constitute a significant percentage of the total nuclear phospholipid content. We feel that it is pertinent to include this lipid in our discussion as it provides an alternative source of 1, 2-diacylglycerol (DAG) in addition to the hydrolysis of PtdIns(4, 5)P2. We discuss at length data related to the sources and possible consequences of nuclear DAG production as this lipid appears to be increasingly central to a number of general physiological functions. Data relating to the existence of alternative pathways of inositol phospholipid synthesis, the role of 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids and lipid compartmentalisation and transport are reviewed. The field has also expanded to a point where we can now also begin to address what role these lipids play in cellular proliferation and differentiation and hopefully provide avenues for further research.

Abstract
Nuclear DNA damage, as the result of active oxygen formation by NAD(P)H-dependent redox chains, was studied. Isolated rat liver nuclei were incubated in the presence of NAD(P)H and iron chelators. Nuclear DNA damage was analyzed by electrophoresis in alkaline agarose. DNA damage after the addition of electron donors alone or with FeCl3 or DFO-Fe3+ was not visualized. Dramatic decay of high molecular weight DNA was observed with EDTA-Fe3+ or DTPA-Fe3+ in the presence of NAD(P)H. SOD did not prevent DNA damage, whereas catalase was protective. DNA damage was revealed after the addition of cumene hydroperoxide with EDTA-Fe3+, and it was sharply increased in the presence of NADPH. It is suggested that alkoxyl radicals in addition to hydroxyl radicals are involved in DNA damage during NAD(P)H oxidation in the presence of iron chelators, which can be reduced by membrane redox chains.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids are known to influence DNA and RNA synthesis in skin fibroblasts. In a novel approach to study this effect, we investigated the influence of the hormone analogue dexamethasone on the activity of nuclear envelope-associated nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase) in intact cell systems (3T3 fibroblasts and MMLI melanoma cells). The NTPase is thought to be responsible for regulation of nucleocytoplasmic transport of mRNA. [3H]Dexamethasone was found to bind to nuclear ghosts at a density comparable with that of nuclear pores in this cellular fraction. Incubation of the cells for 48 h in the presence of different concentrations of dexamethasone resulted in a marked decrease of NTPase activity. Already concentrations as low as 0.1 ng/ml (3T3) or 1 ng/ml (MMLI) reduced the NTPase activity by approximately 50%. These results suggest that nuclear envelope NTPase is a site at which glucocorticoids regulate gene expression.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae nuclear membranes were prepared from isolated nuclei by digesting chromatin with deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease, washing of residual nuclei with 0.5 M MgCl2, and discontinuous gradient centrifugation in buffered Ficoll solutions. Electron microscopic examination of the preparations showed single membrane and double membrane vesicles and membrane sheets. Pores or residual pores were often visible. In double membrane profiles the two unit membranes were often separated by the remains of the perinuclear cistern. The nuclear membrane fragments contained 58% protein, 23.8% phospholipid, 6% sterols, 7.1% neutral acylglycerols, 4.8% RNA, and 0.3% DNA. The phospholipid content of the membrane preparations was influenced by a phospholipase activity with acidic pH optimum.

Abstract
Nuclei were prepared from monkey hepatocytes by centrifugation of the homogenate on a cushion of 2.3 M sucrose, during 45 min at 100000 X g. The yield was 2.2 x 10(7) nuclei per g of liver, and 70% of te homogenate DNA was recovered in these nuclei. An electron microscopic study as well as a biochemical analysis of marker enzymes showed that the nuclei are not contaminated by other subcellular fractions, especially endoplasmic reticulum. A mannosyltransferase and an N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, working on endogenous glycoproteic acceptors, are present in the nuclei for 1.4 and 6.5% of the homogenate activities, respectively. The nuclei are hydrolysed by DNAse I. The suspension, adjusted in 1.9 M sucrose, was centrifuged for 2 h at 100000 X g, under buffer layer. Purified nuclear membranes were collected at the interface. These membranes did not contain any more endoplasmic reticulum enzyme activities, but the mannosyl and N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activities were still present. They essentially work on an exogenous chromatin acceptor, prepared by lysis of the nuclei. The eventual role of these glycosyltransferases in the glycosylation of non-histone proteins is discussed.

Abstract
The presence of cytochromes b5, P-450 and P-420 and activities of NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c redutases were determined in plasma membranes isolated from microvilli of the chick and rat intestinal epithelium and erythrocyte membranes from chick, rat and man. The results are compared with the amounts of these components found in microsomal fractions from intestinal epithelium and in nuclear membranes from chick erythrocytes. Plasma membranes from intestinal microvilli and from erythrocytes contained significant amounts of NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity and of a pigment spectrophotometrically indistinguishable from rat liver microsomal cytochrome b5. In addition, cytochrome b5 fragments were prepared from the membranes by limited trypsin digestion and consisted of two to four components with Mr values in the range 10 000-13 500. In low-temperature difference spectra, the presence of a second cytochrome was noted which was similar to cytochrome P-420. Cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activities were not detected in plasma membrane fractions in significant concentrations but were present in the corresponding endomembrane fractions. These findings in highly purified, well defined plasma membrane fractions, in which contamination by endomembranes is minimal, strengthen the evidence for the existence of cytochrome-containing redox systems in plasma membranes of various cells and suggest that such redox components are general components of the cell surface. Possible functions and origins of these redox components in plasma membranes are discussed.

Abstract
A method is described for the rapid analysis of a mixture of phospholipids and neutral lipids, which was used for the analysis of extracts obtained from a nuclear fraction isolated from rat liver. The lipids are separated by one-dimensional thin-layer chromatography on microchromatoplates (48 X 24 mm), using three solvents for development. After spraying the plates with phosphoric acid and heating, the amount of carbon from the charred compounds is measured densitometrically. Only 2-10 microgram of lipid mixture are needed for the determination of the relative amounts of the separated compounds.

Abstract
A nuclear framework structure termed the nuclear matrix has been isolated and characterized. This matrix forms the major residual structure of isolated nuclei and consists largely of protein with smaller amounts of RNA, DNA, carbohydrate, and phospholipid. The nuclear matrix can be further resolved by combined treatment with DNase and RNase. The remaining nuclear protein structure, after extraction of 90 percent of the nuclear protein, 99.9 percent of the DNA, and 98 percent of the RNA and phospholipid, is termed the nuclear protein matrix. Electron microscopy of this final nuclear protein matrix reveals an interior framework structure composed of residual nucleolar structures associated with a granular and fibrous internal matrix structure. The internal matrix framework is derived from the interchromatinic structures of the nucleus, and is connected to a surrounding residual nuclear envelope layer containing residual nuclear pore complex structures. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis of the nuclear matrix proteins demonstrates three major polypeptide fractions, P-1, P-2, and P-3, with average molecular weights of approximately 69,000, 66,000 and 62,000, as well as several minor polypeptides which migrate at approximately 50,000 and at higher molecular weights (>100,000). Polypeptides with molecular weights identical to those of P-1, P-2 and P-3 are also components of isolated nuclear envelopes and nucleoli, whereas isolated chromatin contains no detectable matrix polypeptides. This suggests that the major matrix polypeptides are localized in specific structural regions of the nucleus, i.e., nuclear envelope, nucleoli, and interchromatinic structures. The presence of cytochrome oxidase activity in the isolated nuclear matrix indicates that at least some integral proteins of the nuclear membrane are associated with the matrix.

Abstract
Mitochondrial and nuclei were purified from cultured hamster fibroblasts (BHK21 cells) by centrifugation in sucrose gradients. The phospholipid compositions of the preparations were compared to those of the previously purified plasma membranes, endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. The mitochondria had a characteristically high content (approx. 16% of lipid phosphorus) of cardiolipin, which was practically absent from the other purified organelles. The nuclei were enriched in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol (approx. 68% and 5% of lipid phosphorus, respectively). Lysobisphosphatidic acid was almost absent from the mitochondria and nuclei, as well as from the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum, which suggests that this phospholipid is confined to the lysosomes of the BHK cell. The nuclei and the mitochondria contained relatively little sphingomyelin, a characteristic lipid of the plasma membrane. The distributions of the total cellular phospholipid and protein between the various organelles were calculated and compared to the corresponding data estimated for the rat liver. The BHK cell contained relatively more phospholipids in the nucleus and the lysosomes than the liver. All the organelles of the BHK cell contained less protein per phospholipid than the equivalent organelles of the liver.

Abstract
A rat liver nuclear envelope fraction isolated essentially by the technique of Monneron et al. (J. Cell Biol. 55, 104-125 (1972) is characterized by high levels of glucose-6-phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase. A broadly specific nucleoside triphosphatase activity is present. Cytochromes b5 and P-450 as well as NADPH- and NADH-cytochrome c reductase activities are present but at lower levels than found in microsomes. Cytochrome c oxidase activity is low. RNA polymerase activity is absent from the nuclear envelope fraction. Cytochemistry shows that glucose-6-phosphatase activity is strong and restricted to the nuclear envelope of nuclei. 5'-Nucleotidase shows weak reaction deposit in whole nuclei but in contrast gives clear reaction deposit in isolated nuclear envelopes. Cytochemical reaction deposit due to nucleoside triphosphatase activity is not restricted to the nuclear envelope but is found to a larger extent within the nucleus.

Abstract
A method was developed to isolate renal basolateral membranes from cortical kidney tubule cells of single rats. The isolated membrane fraction was characterized by the measurement of marker enzyme activities and by electron microscopy. 1. After centrifugation of crude plasma membranes on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient the basolateral membranes accumulated at a sucrose density of p= 1.14-1.15 g/ml. The yield was 147 mug membrane protein/g kidney wet weight. Protein recovery was 0.1%. 2. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was enriched 22-fold from the homogenate. The recovery was 2.6%. The (Na+ + K+)/Mg2+-ATPase ratio was 4.1. 3. The contamination by brush borders was small. Alkaline phosphatase was 1.6-fold enriched and 0.2% was recovered.

Abstract
The disintegration of the nuclear envelope has been examined in nuclei and nuclear envelopes isolated from amphibian oocytes from amphibian oocytes and rat liver tissue, using different electron microscope techniques (ultrathin sections and negatively or positively stained spread preparations). Various treatments were studied, including disruption by surface tension forces, very low salt concentrations, and nonionic detergents such as Triton C-100 and Nonidet P-40. The highest local stability of the cylinders of nonmembranous pore complex material is emphasized. As progressive disintegration occurred in the membrane regions, a network of fibrils became apparent which interconnects the pore complexes and is distinguished from the pore complex-associated about 15-20 nm thick, located at the level of the inner nuclear membrane, which is recognized in thin sections to bridge the interpore distances. With all disintegraiton treatments a somewhat higher susceptibility of the outer nuclear membrane is notable, but a selective removal does not take place. Final stages of disintegration are generally characterized by the absence of identifiable, membrane-like structures. Analysis of detergent-treated nuclei and nuclear membrane fractions shows almost complete absence of lipid components but retention bo significant amount of glycoproteins with a typical endomembrane-type carbohydrate pattern. Various alternative interpretations of these observations are discussed. From the present observations and those of Aaronson and Blobel (1,2), we favor the notion that threadlike intrinsic membrane components are stabilized by their attachment to the pore complexes, and perhaps also to peripheral nuclear structures,and constitute a detergent-resistant, interpore skeleton meshwork.

Abstract
The present investigations reveal that the non specific esterase from mouse liver nuclei is exclusively located in the perinuclear cistern and that the nuclear chromatin does not contain any esterase as a rule. However, esterase is associated with lipid droplets which are seldomly found within nuclei. Two different esterases are demonstrated with the employed substrates in the nuclear envelope. It is exemplified that the esterase, found in isolated nuclei, can neither be understood as qualitative nor as quantitative equivalent of the esterase demonstrated ultrahistochemically at nuclear membranes.
