Abstract
Na/K-ATPase electrogenic activity and its indispensable role in maintaining gradients suggest that the modifications in isoform distribution and the functioning of the sodium pump have a major influence on both the neuronal functions, including excitability, and motor efficiency. This article proposes to clarify the involvement of Na/K-ATPase in the transmission of nerve influx within the peripheral nerve and then in the genesis, the maintenance, and the physiology of muscle contraction by comparing the data found in the literature with our work on neuron and muscle characterization of Na/K-ATPase activity and isoforms.

Abstract
This article mainly presents, in sequential panels of time, an overview of my professional involvements and laboratory experiences. I became smitten with red blood cells early on, and this passion remains with me to this day. I highlight certain studies, together with those who performed the work, recognizing that it was necessary to limit the details and the topics chosen for discussion. I am uncertain of the interest a personal account has for others, but at least it's here for the record.

Abstract
Cardiac glycosides inhibit the sodium pump. However, some studies suggest that nanomolar ouabain concentrations can stimulate the activity of the sodium pump. In this study, using the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase of human erythrocytes, we compared the effect of digoxin, ouabain and an ouabain like-factor (OLF), on (86)Rb uptake. Ouabain concentrations below 10(-9) M significantly stimulate Rb(+) uptake, and the maximal increase above base-line values is 18 +/- 5% at 10(-10) M ouabain. No stimulation is observed in the same conditions by digoxin. OLF behaved like ouabain, producing an activation of Rb(+) flux at concentrations lower than 10(-9) M ouabain equivalents (14 +/- 3% at 10(-10) M). Western blot analysis revealed the presence of both alpha(1) and alpha(3) pump isoforms in human erythrocytes. Our data confirm the analogies between OLF and ouabain and suggest that Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activation may be related to the alpha(3) isoform. In addition, we investigated whether ouabain at different concentrations was effective in altering the intracellular calcium concentration of erythrocytes. We found that ouabain at concentration lower than 10(-9) M did not affect this homeostasis.

Abstract
Beta3 subunit is described as one of the Na, K ATPase subunits. Recently, we generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb), termed P-3E10. This mAb was shown to react with the Na, K ATPase beta3 subunit or CD298. By immunofluorescence analysis using mAb P-3E10, it was found that all peripheral blood leukocytes express Na, K ATPase beta3. The presence of beta3 subunit on leukocytes is not in a quantitative polymorphic manner. Upon phytohemagglutinin or phorbol myristate acetate activation, the expression level of the Na, K ATPase beta3 subunit on activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells was not altered in comparison with those of unstimulated cells. Red blood cells (RBCs) of healthy donors showed negative reactivity with mAb P-3E10. However, more than 80% of thalassemic RBCs showed positive reactivity. By immunoprecipitation, moreover, a protein band of 55-65 kDa was precipitated from normal RBC membrane using mAb P-3E10. These results evidenced that the beta3 subunit of Na, K ATPase is expressed on RBC membrane but the epitope recognized by mAb P-3E10 is hidden in normal RBCs. Furthermore, we showed the association of beta3 subunit and alpha subunit of Na, K ATPase. This information is important for further understanding of the functional roles of this molecule.

Abstract
An interesting feature of Na+-K+-ATPase is that it contains four isoforms of the catalytic α-subunit, each with a tissue-specific distribution. Our laboratory has used gene targeting to define the functional role of the α1- and α2-isoforms. While knockout mice demonstrated the importance of the α1- and α2-isoforms for survival, the knockin mice, in which each isoform can be individually inhibited by ouabain and its function determined, demonstrated that both isoforms are regulators of cardiac muscle contractility. Another intriguing aspect of the Na+-K+-ATPase is that it contains a binding site for cardiac glycosides, such as digoxin. Conservation of this site suggests that it may have an in vivo role and that a natural ligand must exist to interact with this site. In fact, cardiac glycoside-like compounds have been observed in mammals. Our recent study demonstrates that the cardiac glycoside binding site of the Na+-K+-ATPase plays a role in the regulation of blood pressure and that it mediates both ouabain-induced and ACTH-induced hypertension in mice. Whereas chronic administration of ouabain or ACTH caused hypertension in wild-type mice, it had no effect on blood pressure in mice with a ouabain-resistant α2-isoform of Na+-K+-ATPase. Interestingly, animals with the ouabain-sensitive α1-isoform and a ouabain-resistant α2-isoform develop ACTH-induced hypertension to a greater extent than wild-type animals. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the cardiac glycoside binding of the Na+-K+-ATPase has a physiological role and suggests a function for a naturally occurring ligand that is stimulated by administration of ACTH.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that Rap1 and Rap2 small GTP-binding proteins are both expressed in human red blood cells (RBCs). In this work, we carefully examined the expression of Rap proteins in leukocytes- and platelets-depleted RBCs, whose purity was established on the basis of the selective expression of the beta2 subunit of the Na+/K+ -ATPase, as verified according to the recently proposed "beta-profiling test" [J.F. Hoffman, A. Wickrema, O. Potapova, M. Milanick, D.R. Yingst, Na pump isoforms in human erythroid progenitor cells and mature erythrocytes, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 99 (2002) 14572-14577]. In pure RBCs preparations, Rap2, but not Rap1 was detected immunologically. RT-PCR analysis of mRNA extracted from highly purified reticulocytes confirmed the expression of Rap2b, but not Rap2a, Rap2c, Rap1a or Rap1b. In RBCs, Rap2 was membrane-associated and was rapidly activated upon treatment with Ca2+/Ca2+ -ionophore. In addition, Rap2 segregated and was selectively enriched into microvesicles released by Ca2+ -activated RBCs, suggesting a possible role for this GTPase in membrane shedding.

Abstract
This article concerns the identification of different types of voltage-gated Na(+) channels and of muscarinic and purinergic receptors that are expressed in human erythroid precursor cells and red cell ghosts. We analyzed, by RT-PCR, RNA that was extracted from purified and synchronously growing human erythroid progenitor cells, differentiating from erythroblasts to reticulocytes in 7 to 14 days. These extracts were free of white cell and platelet contamination. Two types of voltage-gated, tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na(+) channels were found. These were Na(v)1.4 and Na(v)1.7, the former known to be present in skeletal muscle and the latter in peripheral nerve. By using a pan Na(+) channel antibody and Western blotting, an immunoreactive channel was detected in ghosts of human red blood cells, consistent with the expression of these two channels. The transcripts for four of the five known subtypes of muscarinic receptors were also identified, including subtypes M2, M3, M4, and M5, whereas subtype M1 was not found. Expression was also detected for the purinergic type receptors P2X(1), P2X(4), P2X(7), and P2Y(1) whereas types P2Y(2), P2Y(4), and P2Y(6) were not found. We also searched for but did not find transcripts for hBNP-1, a type 1b human brain sodium phosphate cotransporter, and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Implications regarding the presence of these different types of channels and receptors in human red blood cells and their functional significance are discussed.

Abstract
Characterization of expression of, and consequently also the acute exercise effects on, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase isoforms in human skeletal muscle remains incomplete and was therefore investigated. Fifteen healthy subjects (eight males, seven females) performed fatiguing, knee extensor exercise at approximately 40% of their maximal work output per contraction. A vastus lateralis muscle biopsy was taken at rest, fatigue and 3 and 24 h postexercise, and analysed for Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1), alpha(2), alpha(3), beta(1), beta(2) and beta(3) mRNA and crude homogenate protein expression, using Real-Time RT-PCR and immunoblotting, respectively. Each individual expressed gene transcripts and protein bands for each Na(+),K(+)-ATPase isoform. Each isoform was also expressed in a primary human skeletal muscle cell culture. Intense exercise (352 +/- 69 s; mean +/-s.e.m.) immediately increased alpha(3) and beta(2) mRNA by 2.4- and 1.7-fold, respectively (P < 0.05), whilst alpha(1) and alpha(2) mRNA were increased by 2.5- and 3.5-fold at 24 h and 3 h postexercise, respectively (P < 0.05). No significant change occurred for beta(1) and beta(3) mRNA, reflecting variable time-dependent responses. When the average postexercise value was contrasted to rest, mRNA increased for alpha(1), alpha(2), alpha(3), beta(1), beta(2) and beta(3) isoforms, by 1.4-, 2.2-, 1.4-, 1.1-, 1.0- and 1.0-fold, respectively (P < 0.05). However, exercise did not alter the protein abundance of the alpha(1)-alpha(3) and beta(1)-beta(3) isoforms. Thus, human skeletal muscle expresses each of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1), alpha(2), alpha(3), beta(1), beta(2) and beta(3) isoforms, evidenced at both transcription and protein levels. Whilst brief exercise increased Na(+),K(+)-ATPase isoform mRNA expression, there was no effect on isoform protein expression, suggesting that the exercise challenge was insufficient for muscle Na(+),K(+)-ATPase up-regulation.

Abstract
The question is, does the isoform hSK4, also designated KCNN4, represent the small conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ channel (Gardos channel) in human red blood cells? We have analyzed human reticulocyte RNA by RT-PCR, and, of the four isoforms of SK channels known, only SK4 was found. Northern blot analysis of purified and synchronously growing human erythroid progenitor cells, differentiating from erythroblasts to reticulocytes, again showed only the presence of SK4. Western blot analysis, with an anti-SK4 antibody, showed that human erythroid progenitor cells and, importantly, mature human red blood cell ghost membranes, both expressed the SK4 protein. The Gardos channel is known to turn on, given inside Ca2+, in the presence but not the absence of external Ko+ and remains refractory to Ko+ added after exposure to inside Ca2+. Heterologously expressed SK4, but not SK3, also shows this behavior. In inside-out patches of red cell membranes, the open probability (Po) of the Gardos channel is markedly reduced when the temperature is raised from 27 to 37 degrees C. Net K+ efflux of intact red cells is also reduced by increasing temperature, as are the Po values of inside-out patches of Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing SK4 (but not SK3). Thus the envelope of evidence indicates that SK4 is the gene that codes for the Gardos channel in human red blood cells. This channel is important pathophysiologically, because it represents the major pathway for cell shrinkage via KCl and water loss that occurs in sickle cell disease.

Abstract
This study is aimed at identifying the Na pump isoform composition of human erythroid precursor cells and mature human erythrocytes. We used purified and synchronously growing human erythroid progenitor cells cultured for 7-14 days. RNA was extracted from the progenitor cells on different days and analyzed by RT-PCR. The results showed that only the alpha1, alpha3, beta2, and beta3 subunit isoforms and the gamma modulator were present. Northern analysis of the erythroid progenitor cells again showed that beta2 but not beta1 or alpha2 isoforms were present. The erythroid cells display a unique beta subunit expression profile (called beta-profiling) in that they contain the message for the beta2 isoform but not beta1, whereas leukocytes and platelets are known to have the message for the beta1 but not for the beta2 isoform. This finding is taken to indicate that our preparations are essentially purely erythroid and free from white cell contamination. Western analysis of these cultured progenitor cells confirmed the presence of alpha1, alpha3, (no alpha2), beta2, beta3, and gamma together now with clear evidence that beta1 protein was also present at all stages. Western analysis of the Na pump from mature human erythrocyte ghosts, purified by ouabain column chromatography, has also shown that alpha1, alpha3, beta1, beta2, beta3, and gamma are present. Thus, the Na pump isoform composition of human erythroid precursor cells and mature erythrocytes contains the alpha1 and alpha3 isoforms of the alpha subunit, the beta1, beta2, and beta3 isoforms of the beta subunit, and the gamma modulator.

Abstract
Erythrocytes contain a plasma membrane redox system that can reduce extracellular ascorbate radicals by using intracellular ascorbate as an electron donor. In this study, the hypothesis was tested that cytochrome b561 was a component of this system. Spectroscopic analysis of erythrocyte membrane preparations revealed the presence of cytochrome b5 and hemoglobin but also of a cytochrome with properties similar to cytochrome b561, reducible by ascorbate and insensitive to CO. The presence of cytochrome b561 was studied further by reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis of erythrocyte progenitor cells, reticulocytes. However, no cytochrome b561 mRNA could be found. These results were corroborated by Western blot analysis with an anti-cytochrome b561 serum. No cytochrome b561 protein could be detected in extracts of erythrocyte membranes. It is therefore concluded that erythrocytes do not contain cytochrome b561 in their membranes. The possible involvement of other b-cytochromes in ascorbate-ascorbate free radical oxidoreductase activity is discussed.

Abstract
Tissue-distinct interactions of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase with Na(+) and K(+), independent of isoform-specific properties, were reported previously (A. G. Therien, N. B. Nestor, W. J. Ball, and R. Blostein. J. Biol. Chem. 271: 7104-7112, 1996). In this paper, we describe a detailed analysis of tissue-specific kinetics particularly relevant to regulation of pump activity by intracellular K(+), namely K(+) inhibition at cytoplasmic Na(+) sites. Our results show that the order of susceptibilities of alpha(1) pumps of various rat tissues to K(+)/Na(+) antagonism, represented by the ratio of the apparent affinity for Na(+) binding at cytoplasmic activation sites in the absence of K(+) to the affinity constant for K(+) as a competitive inhibitor of Na(+) binding at cytoplasmic sites, is red blood cell < axolemma approximately rat alpha(1)-transfected HeLa cells < small intestine < kidney < heart. In addition, we have carried out an extensive analysis of the kinetics of K(+) binding and occlusion to the cytoplasmic cation binding site and find that, for most tissues, there is a relationship between the rate of K(+) binding/occlusion and the apparent affinity for K(+) as a competitive inhibitor of Na(+) activation, the order for both parameters being heart >/= kidney > small intestine approximately rat alpha(1)-transfected HeLa cells. The notion that modulations in cytoplasmic K(+)/Na(+) antagonism are a potential mode of pump regulation is underscored by evidence of its reversibility. Thus the relatively high K(+)/Na(+) antagonism characteristic of kidney pumps was reduced when rat kidney microsomal membranes were fused into the dog red blood cell.

During late pregnancy, the rat undergoes massive plasma volume expansion due to cumulative renal sodium retention. In the present study, conducted in virgin, mid- (days 11-13), and late-pregnant (days 18-20) rats, we measured both Na+-K+-ATPase activity (by coupled enzyme assay) and abundance of the alpha-subunits of the Na+-K+-ATPase (by Western and slot blot analyses) in renal cortex, medulla, and brain stem. Unexpectedly, Na+-K+-ATPase in renal cortex, in both stages of pregnancy, is reduced versus the virgin, consistent with our finding of a reduced quantity of the alpha1-subunit. In renal medulla, there is a small rise in activity at midterm, but there is no difference in either activity or abundance of the alpha1-subunit in late pregnancy, when renal Na retention is maximal. In brain stem, where only alpha2- and alpha3-subunits are evident, pregnancy has no impact on enzyme activity or abundance of either isoform. In conclusion, the outcome of these experiments was unexpected in that we did not observe increased renal Na+-K+-ATPase activity in late pregnancy in the rat. In fact, in renal cortex, Na+-K+-ATPase activity and abundance are reduced. Whatever promotes net sodium retention in pregnancy must be capable of overwhelming this and several other strong natriuretic signals.

Abstract
Using immunoelectron microscopy and isoform-specific antibodies against Na,K-ATPase to study changes in Na,K-ATPase in rat erythroblastic cells during maturation, we unexpectedly observed numerous antigenic sites against the alpha3-isoform in the cytoplasmic phase. There was an increase in the number of alpha3-isoforms after denucleation of the erythroblast. The increase was transient. As the reticulocyte matured into a red blood cell, the number of alpha3-isoforms was reduced drastically. This alpha3-isoform was distributed in a reticular pattern resembling the double layers of endoplasmic reticulum. Western blot analysis confirms the presence of the alpha3-isoform in these cells. X-ray microanalysis of the erythroid series of cells in the bone marrow shows that sodium concentration in the young reticulocyte is higher than that in the nucleated erythroblast. The reason for the transient increase in this pump protein is not clear. It is possible that the increase in sodium concentration in the reticulocyte plays a role in the increase in pump protein synthesis.
