Abstract
The cell plasma membrane Na+,K+-ATPase [NKA] is one of biology's most [if not the most] significant enzymes. By actively transporting Na+ out [and K+ in], it maintains the vital trans-membrane ion concentration gradients and the membrane potential. The forward NKA reaction is shown in the Graphical Abstract [which is elaborated in the text]. Crucially, NKA does not operate in isolation. There are other transporters that conduct K+ back out of [II, Graphical Abstract] and Na+ back into [III, Graphical Abstract] the cell. Thus, NKA must function continually. Principal routes for ATP replenishment include mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, and creatine kinase [CrK] activity. However, it has never been possible to measure, let alone map, this integrated, cellular homeostatic NKA activity in vivo. Active trans-membrane water cycling [AWC] promises a way to do this with 1H2O MR. Inthe Graphical Abstract, the AWC system is characterized by active contributions totheunidirectional rate constants for steady-state water efflux and influx, respectively, kio(a) and koi(a). The discovery, validation, and initial exploration of active water cycling are reviewed here. Promising applications in cancer, cardiological, and neurological MRI are covered. This initial work employed paramagnetic Gd(III)chelate contrast agents [CAs]. However, the significant problems associated with in vivo CA use are also reviewed. A new analysis of water diffusion-weighted MRI [DWI] is presented. Preliminary results suggest a non-invasive way to measure the cell number density [ρ (cells/μL)], the mean cell volume [V (pL)], and the cellular NKA metabolic rate [cMRNKA(fmol(ATP)/s/cell)] with high spatial resolution. These crucial cell biology properties have not before been accessible invivo. Furthermore, initial findings indicate their absolute values can be determined.

Abstract
PURPOSE Water homeostasis and transport play important roles in brain function (e.g., ion homeostasis, neuronal excitability, cell volume regulation, etc.). However, specific mechanisms of water transport across cell membranes in neuronal tissue have not been completely elaborated. METHODS The kinetics of transcytolemmal water exchange were measured in neuronal tissue using simultaneous, real-time fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of perfused, active brain organotypic cortical cultures. Perfusion with a paramagnetic MRI contrast agent, gadoteridol, allows NMR determination of the unidirectional rate constant for steady-state cellular water efflux (kio ), and the mole fraction of intracellular water ( pi), related to the average cell volume (V). Changes in intracellular calcium concentration [Cai2+] were used as a proxy for neuronal activity and were monitored by fluorescence imaging. RESULTS The kio value, averaged over all cultures (N = 99) at baseline, was 2.02 (±1.72) s-1 , indicating that on average, the equivalent of the entire intracellular water volume turns over twice each second. To probe possible molecular pathways, the specific Na+ -K+ -ATPase (NKA) inhibitor, ouabain (1 mM), was transiently introduced into the perfusate. This caused significant transient changes (N = 8): [Cai2+] rose ∼250%, V rose ∼89%, and kio fell ∼45%, with a metabolically active kio contribution probably eliminated by ouabain saturation. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that transcytolemmal water exchange in neuronal tissue involves mechanisms affected by NKA activity as well as passive pathways. The active pathway may account for half of the basal homeostatic water flux. Magn Reson Med 79:3207-3217, 2018. © 2017 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.

Abstract
Here we show that ouabain-induced cell growth regulation is intrinsically coupled to changes in the cellular amount of Na/K-ATPase via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. Ouabain increases the endocytosis and degradation of Na/K-ATPase in LLC-PK1, human breast (BT20), and prostate (DU145) cancer cells. However, ouabain stimulates the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and consequently up-regulates the expression of Na/K-ATPase in LLC-PK1 but not BT20 and DU145 cells. This up-regulation is sufficient to replete the plasma membrane pool of Na/K-ATPase and to stimulate cell proliferation in LLC-PK1 cells. On the other hand, ouabain causes a gradual depletion of Na/K-ATPase and an increased expression of cell cycle inhibitor p21(cip), which consequently inhibits cell proliferation in BT20 and DU145 cells. Consistently, we observe that small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of Na/K-ATPase is sufficient to induce the expression of p21(cip) and slow the proliferation of LLC-PK1 cells. Moreover, this knockdown converts the growth stimulatory effect of ouabain to growth inhibition in LLC-PK1 cells. Mechanistically, both Src and caveolin-1 are required for ouabain-induced activation of Akt and up-regulation of Na/K-ATPase. Furthermore, inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway by rapamycin completely blocks ouabain-induced expression of Na/K-ATPase and converts ouabain-induced growth stimulation to growth inhibition in LLC-PK1 cells. Taken together, we conclude that changes in the expression of Na/K-ATPase dictate the growth regulatory effects of ouabain on cells.

Abstract
Recent studies have ascribed many non-pumping functions to the Na/K-ATPase. Here, we present experimental evidence demonstrating that over half of the plasma membrane Na/K-ATPase in LLC-PK1 cells is performing cellular functions other than ion pumping. This "non-pumping" pool of Na/K-ATPase, like the pumping pump, binds ouabain. Depletion of either cholesterol or caveolin-1 moves some of the "non-pumping" Na/K-ATPase into the pumping pool. Graded knock-down of the alpha1 subunit of the Na/K-ATPase eventually results in loss of this "non-pumping" pool while preserving the pumping pool. Our prior studies indicate that a loss of the non-pumping pool is associated with a loss of receptor function as evidenced by the failure of ouabain administration to induce the activation of Src and/or ERK. Therefore, our new findings suggest that a substantial amount of surface-expressed Na/K-ATPase, at least in some types of cells, may function as non-canonical ouabain-binding receptors.

Abstract
Optical single transporter recording (OSTR) is an emerging technique for the fluorescence microscopic measurement of transport kinetics in membrane patches. Membranes are attached to transparent microarrays of cylindrical test compartments (TCs) approximately 0.1-100 mum in diameter and approximately 10-100 mum in depth. Transport across membrane patches that may contain single transporters or transporter populations is recorded by confocal microscopy. By these means transport of proteins through single nuclear pore complexes has been recorded at rates of <1 translocation/s. In addition to the high sensitivity in terms of measurable transport rates OSTR features unprecedented spatial selectivity and parallel processing. This article reviews the conceptual basis of OSTR and its realization. Applications to nuclear transport are summarized. The further development of OSTR is discussed and its extension to a diversity of transporters, including translocases and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) pumps, projected.

Abstract
Sodium-potassium pumps (Na pumps) are the only known plasma membrane receptors for cardiac glycosides. However, adrenocortical cells secrete an endogenous ouabain via an unknown mechanism that is subject to feedback inhibition via the cell surface. In addition, recent studies suggest that the induction of sustained hypertension by ouabain analogs in rats may be independent of Na pump inhibition. Accordingly, we used bovine adrenocortical cells and membranes to search for novel binding sites for ouabain. In high extracellular potassium solutions, the binding of ouabain to the Na pumps of cultured cells was suppressed, yet residual specific binding of (3)H-ouabain was observed. In high extracellular potassium, Scatchard analyses revealed a novel class of ouabain binding sites with high affinity (<50 nmol/L, < 2.5 x 10(5) sites/cell) that was distinct from the low-affinity Na pump sites (>1 micromol/L, 4.5 x 10(6) sites/cell). Analysis of the kinetics for the dissociation of (3)H-ouabain from intact cells revealed components whose t(0.5) values were 6.5 minutes, 3.3 hours, and 33 hours and associated with novel sites, Na pumps, and lysosomal recycling, respectively. Studies with isolated membranes under ligand conditions where the participation of Na pumps was minimized revealed specific ouabain binding to novel sites that was saturable, time-dependent, of high affinity (K(d) approximately 15 nmol/L), and of low density (apparent B(max)=0.23 pmol/mg, c.f., Na pumps=10.2 pmol/mg). Ouabain binding to the novel sites was stimulated by high concentrations of KCl but was not affected by aldosterone or cortisol up to 30 micromol/L. Novel sites were not detected in skeletal muscle or liver membranes. Photoaffinity studies followed by SDS-PAGE showed ouabain-protectable labeling of membrane polypeptides with apparent molecular weights of 143, 113, and 65 kDa. We conclude that adrenocortical cells express ouabain receptors that are distinct from Na pumps. These novel receptors may be involved in the regulation and/or secretion of endogenous ouabain.

Abstract
Among the ways to deliver comparatively large amounts of boron to cells in vitro for boron neutron capture studies is the linkage of a boronated macromolecule such as polylysine to an antibody. In order to reduce interference with immunoreactivity, boronated polylysine (BPL) was linked to oligosaccharide moieties on the IgG molecule distant from the antibody combining sites. The resultant bioconjugate was chromatographically separated from free BPL and unconjugated antibody using a Sephacryl S300 column. The total measured boron per BPL-IgG conjugate, determined by direct current plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, was estimated to be approximately 6 x 10(3) atoms. This, together with molecular weight estimations, indicated conjugation of about 3 polylysines to each IgG molecule. Immunoreactivity of the conjugate was found to be the same as that of the unconjugated polyclonal antibody. This was based on its concentration dependent interference with immunometric reactions for an antigen (TSH), whereas heat inactivated or non-specific antibody had no such inhibitory effects. The results support the hypothesis that the binding affinity of the conjugate for antigen was preserved after its linkage to BPL under the conditions described. The methodology described in this report may have applicability for the preparation of boronated antibodies as delivery agents for BNCT.

Abstract
Hydration and [3H]ouabain uptake by different tissues of adult male rats were measured immediately after exposure to homogenous 0.2 T steady magnetic field. A time-dependent decrease of hydration and adaptation, followed by disadaptation, was detected in brain and liver tissues in most of the rats after 3.5-5 h of exposure. The number of functional active ouabain binding receptors, which correlates with cell volume, was also decreased in brain, liver, and spleen and increased in kidney tissue after half an hour of exposure. It is suggested that cell hydration is a second messenger through which the SMF exerts its influence.

Abstract
The mechanism by which ouabain causes excitation of canine colonic circular smooth muscle was investigated. Ouabain-induced depolarization and increase in contractility were related to the concentration of extracellular sodium and prevented by complete substitution of sodium ions with N-methyl-D-glucamine or lithium ions. Absence of external sodium ions did not prevent the depolarization and increase in contractility induced by tetraethylammonium. Exposure of the muscle strips to sodium-free solutions produced a transient hyperpolarization and decrease in the input membrane resistance consistent with the hypothesis that intracellular sodium blocks potassium conductance. The relationship between the membrane potential and the extracellular potassium concentration indicated that the resting membrane potential is mainly determined by the membrane potassium conductance. Our data suggest the following mechanism of action for ouabain: (a) ouabain blocks Na+/K+ pump thereby increasing the intracellular sodium concentration; (b) increase in intracellular sodium inhibits membrane potassium conductance, which depolarizes the membrane and prolongs the slow wave plateau, resulting in an increase of the force of contraction. The direct contribution of the sodium pump to the resting membrane potential, if any, can only be minor (< 6 mV).

Abstract
Na+, K+ exchanges were studied in isolated hepatocytes of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri. Ouabain at 10(-4) M produced maximal inhibition (95%) of K+ uptake and enhanced intracellular Na+ accumulation, showing that active fluxes account for a very large proportion of Na+ and K+ exchanges. Inhibition of the Na-K pump by ouabain was significant at low concentrations (10(-8) M). When external K+ concentration was reduced from 7 mM to 0.5 mM, half maximum inhibition (IC50) of K+ uptake was obtained at a 22-fold lower concentration of ouabain confirming that ouabain and potassium compete at the same pump site. Time-course analysis of [3H]ouabain binding indicated a two-component kinetics: one component saturable and dependent on K+ concentration in the medium, the other linear and independent of external K+. The ouabain binding site number, determined by Scatchard plots, remained constant (ca. 2.5 x 10(5) per cell) and independent of the external K+ concentration (7, 0.5 or 0 mM), while the dissociation constant (KD) decreased from 4.2 microM to 7.3 nM when K+ was removed from the Hank's medium. These ouabain binding sites are characterized by an exceptionally low turnover rate (400 min-1), as estimated from ouabain-sensitive K+ flux, in comparison to those described in other cell types of higher vertebrates. At each external K+ concentration studied, the inhibition of K+ uptake and ouabain binding measured as a function of ouabain concentration indicated a strict correlation between the degree of K pump inhibition and the amount of bound glycoside.

Abstract
The properties of the Na-K pump and some of the factors controlling its amount and function were studied in rat myotubes in culture. The number of Na-K pump sites was quantified by measuring the amount of [3H]ouabain bound to whole-cell preparations. Activity of the pump was determined by measurement of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb-uptake and component of membrane potential. Chronic treatment of myotubes with tetrodotoxin (TTX), which lowers [Na]i, decreased the number of Na-K pumps, the ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake, and the size of the electrogenic pump component of Em. In contrast, chronic treatment with either ouabain or veratridine, which increases [Na+]i, resulted in an elevated level of Na-K pump sites. This effect was blocked by inhibitors of protein synthesis. Neither rates of degradation nor affinity of pump sites in cells treated with TTX, veratridine, or ouabain differred from those in control cells. The number and activity of Na-K pump sites were unaffected by chronic elevation in [Ca]i or chronic depolarization. We conclude that alterations in the level in intracellular Na ions play the major role in regulation of Na-K pump synthesis in cultured mammalian skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The influence of environmental temperature and energy intake on 3H-ouabain binding sites in skeletal muscle has been investigated in young growing pigs at 8 weeks of age. Animals lived for several weeks at 35 or 10 degrees C on a high (H) or low (L) level of energy intake. The four treatment groups were thus: 35H, 35L, 10H and 10L. The total number of 3H-ouabain binding sites (Bmax) in longissimus dorsi muscle (mean values +/- SEM) were 221 +/- 66, 214 +/- 61, 350 +/- 76 and 486 +/- 114 pmol/g wet weight for the 35H, 35L, 10H and 10L groups respectively. Bmax was significantly greater in those living in the cold than the warm (P less than 0.001). Moreover, at 10 degrees C energy intake had a significant effect, with Bmax being greater in the 10L than the 10H group (P less than 0.005). Level of energy intake had no influence on Bmax at 35 degrees C. The apparent dissociation constant was not affected by either temperature or intake. The elevated Bmax and hence the increase in number of Na+,K+-pumping sites in the cold is probably related to increased muscular activity associated with shivering. However, thyroid status also influences the number of Na+,K+-pumping sites and this may have been a contributory factor in the present study. In addition, the elevated Bmax suggests a greater potential for non-shivering thermogenesis associated with increased Na+,K+-ATPase concentration in the cold. Differences in relative stage of development between the four groups may help to explain the results for Bmax in relation to level of energy intake.

Lymphoblastoid cell lines established from patients suffering from bipolar manic depression have been used to study the possible involvement of cation transport in the aetiology of this illness. No significant difference was found in the K+ fluxes mediated by the ouabain-sensitive sodium pump, the diuretic-sensitive cotransport system and the passive leak pathway of cell lines established from either control or bipolar subjects. The mean value for the specific binding of 3H-ouabain (sodium pump site number) was significantly higher in the bipolar group (approximately 30%) than in the control group.

Abstract
1. The spontaneous [3H]-release has been measured from the isolated main pulmonary artery of the rabbit preloaded with [3H]noradrenaline in the presence of uptake blockers (cocaine, 3 x 10(-5) M; corticosterone, 5 x 10(-5) M). 2. The Ca-ionophore A-23187 (3 x 10(-7)-3 x 10(-5) M) increased the outflow of [3H] by a concentration dependent manner. 3. Inhibition of Na+-pump by removal of K+ from the external medium also increased the release of labelled noradrenaline. 4. In the absence of external K+, the applied A-23187 (3 x 10(-6) M; EC50) further increased the release of [3H]. 5. Reactivation of Na+-pump by readmission of K+ (5.9 mM) to the external medium abolished the [3H]-release which had previously been increased in "K+-free" solution. 6. The reactivated Na+-pump significantly inhibited the transmitter releasing action of A-23187. 7. This latter was antagonized by an increase of external Ca2+ (7.5 mM). 8. It is concluded that the reactivated Na+-pump caused re-establishment of Na+-gradient is capable to counteract the Ca-ionophore facilitated Ca2+-influx and release from internal stores, which can be antagonized by excess Ca2+.

Abstract
The expression of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps was studied in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Pump site number was measured by quantitation of the specific binding of [3H]ouabain to cultures of varying density. Specific binding of [3H]ouabain was time- and concentration-dependent, and was inhibited by potassium and by excess unlabeled ouabain. Estimates of pump site number based upon specific [3H]ouabain binding indicated that the number of pumps per RPE cell was maximal in sparse cultures and declined six-fold as cultures became confluent. Pump activity, determined by measurement of specific 86Rb (rubidium) uptake, was also greater in sparse than in dense cultures. Quantitation of [3H]thymidine incorporation as a measure of cell proliferation demonstrated that proliferation in RPE cultures decreased logarithmically as culture density increased. Increased pump site number in cultured RPE, therefore, correlated with increased cell proliferation and decreased culture density. We conclude that human RPE express ouabain-sensitive Na+-K+ ATPase in vitro and maximal expression is observed in sparse, proliferating cultures.

Abstract
Mammalian cells specifically internalize some molecular species through receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME). We have used four different experimental protocols to investigate whether ouabain enters cardiac cells of guinea pig atrium through this pathway. First, by electron microscope morphometry we found that ouabain increased endocytic vesicles in atrial cells. Second, by scintillation counting we found that [3H]ouabain uptake by the tissue is decreased by three treatments that decrease RME, i.e., NH4Cl, trifluoperazine, and 16 mM [K+]0. Third, by radioautography at the electron microscope level, we checked that in preceding experiments [3H]ouabain was washed out of plasma membrane after 60-min rinse and interiorized into the cardiac cells. Fourth, isometric tension recordings showed that the positive inotropic effect of ouabain was diminished in the presence of inhibitors, whereas that of a hydrophobic analogue, ouabagenin, was not affected. These results suggest that ouabain enters cardiac cells through RME and also that an intracellular site may, at least in part, be responsible for its inotropic effect.

Abstract
Illumination of Limulus ventral photoreceptors leads to an increase in the intracellular concentration of sodium, [Na+]i, and to an increase in the consumption of O2 (delta QO2). After a 1-s light flash, it takes approximately 480 s for [Na+]i to return to within 10% of its preillumination level, whereas delta QO2 takes approximately 90 s. Thus, the delta QO2 is complete long before [Na+]i has returned to its resting level. Pressure injection of Na+ into the cell in order to elevate [Na+]i to the same levels as attained by illumination causes a rise in [Na+]i that returns to baseline with the same time course as the light-induced rise in [Na+]i. However, the injection of Na+ does not lead to an increase of the consumption of O2. We conclude that activation of the Na pump by a rise in [Na+]i is not a factor involved in the light-induced activation of O2 consumption in these cells.

Abstract
The relation between the activity of the Na+-K+-ATPase and the metabolic source of ATP was investigated in suspensions of MDCK cells. The pump activity of Na+-K+-ATPase was estimated from the initial rate of ouabain-sensitive K+ uptake into K+-depleted cells. Uptake was initiated by the reintroduction of K+ to the medium in which the cells were suspended. The metabolic source of ATP was varied by changing the substrates supplied to the suspension. Cells respiring on glutamine produced ATP from oxidative metabolism alone, whereas cells incubated with glucose and glutamine produced ATP via glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Over a wide range of extracellular K+ concentrations, the initial rate of K+ uptake was faster in cells incubated with glucose and glutamine when compared with cells incubated with glutamine alone. Kinetic analysis together with ouabain-binding data demonstrated that this increase in K+ uptake was due to an increase in maximal velocity (Vmax) at a constant number of Na+-K+-ATPase transport sites. In addition, steady-state studies revealed that the addition of glucose to K+-depleted cells respiring on glutamine alone resulted in a net ouabain-sensitive influx of K+. These data demonstrate that in MDCK cells the maximal capacity for transport via the Na+-K+-ATPase is greater when ATP is produced from both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation than when ATP is produced from oxidative phosphorylation alone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Controversy has recently developed over the surface distribution of Na+,K+-ATPase in hepatic parenchymal cells. We have reexamined this issue using several independent techniques. A monoclonal antibody specific for the endodomain of alpha-subunit was used to examine Na+,K+-ATPase distribution at the light and electron microscope levels. When cryostat sections of rat liver were incubated with the monoclonal antibody, followed by either rhodamine or horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary, fluorescent staining or horseradish peroxidase reaction product was observed at the basolateral surfaces of hepatocytes from the space of Disse to the tight junctions bordering bile canaliculi. No labeling of the canalicular plasma membrane was detected. In contrast, when hepatocytes were dissociated by collagenase digestion, Na+,K+-ATPase alpha-subunit was localized to the entire plasma membrane. Na+,K+-ATPase was quantitated in isolated rat liver plasma membrane fractions by Western blots using a polyclonal antibody against Na+,K+-ATPase alpha-subunit. Plasma membranes from the basolateral domain of hepatocytes possessed essentially all of the cell's estimated Na+,K+-ATPase catalytic activity and contained a 96-kD alpha-subunit band. Canalicular plasma membrane fractions, defined by their enrichment in alkaline phosphatase, 5' nucleotidase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and leucine aminopeptidase had no detectable Na+,K+-ATPase activity and no alpha-subunit band could be detected in Western blots of these fractions. We conclude that Na+,K+-ATPase is limited to the sinusoidal and lateral domains of hepatocyte plasma membrane in intact liver. This basolateral distribution is consistent with its topology in other ion-transporting epithelia.

Abstract
1. Transepithelial Na transport in Necturus was determined by measuring the rate of isotonic fluid flow. The rate at 20 degrees C was equivalent to 175 pmol cm-2 s-1. 2. Ouabain was effective in Necturus, binding to the Na pump in gall-bladder cells with a mean rate constant of 5.4 X 10(3) M-1 s-1. Measurement of the diffusive time constant of the free space for [3H]ouabain shows that the pump must be fully inhibited within 20 s when ouabain is applied to the serosa at 10(-3) M. 3. The serosal Na efflux from loaded cells was inhibited 36% by ouabain equal to a flux of 73 pmol cm-2 s-1. The remaining flux could not be attributed to either exchange diffusion or electrodiffusion induced by ouabain. 4. The transepithelial potential was 0.3 mV serosa positive. The short-circuit current measured was 6.33 +/- 1.9 microA cm-2, equal to a positive univalent ion flux of 65.6 pmol cm-2 s-1 or 38% of the net Na transfer. The current was inhibited within 1-5 min by 5 X 10(-5) M-amiloride. 5. Fluid secretion was immediately inhibited 34% by ouabain, equivalent to an isotonic transport of Na of 59.7 pmol cm-2 s-1. Thereafter it continued for at least an hour, sometimes declining slowly. Amiloride had little effect (13%). 6. The Na pump rate was measured by titrating the cell content with tracer Na at different times after ouabain treatment. The initial slope was equal to a rate of 61.6 pmol cm-2 s-1 or 35% of the net flux at time zero. 7. The Na pump rate has also been measured by recording the rise in cell Na activity with ion-specific micro-electrodes, and correcting for swelling effects. The Na pump rate was very similar to that estimated from the rise in tracer Na content, equal to 59.3 pmol cm-2 s-1 or 31.4% of the transepithelial rate. Examination of the same experiment in the literature shows a closely similar value, about one-third of that expected from fluid secretion or net flux measurements. 8. A scheme is proposed to explain the results, which requires a flow of NaCl through a parallel pathway of small Na content involving exchange en route with the cytoplasmic Na.

Abstract
HeLa cells grown on Petri dishes were either pulse labelled with various cardiac glycosides or grown in low concentrations of them for up to 2 days; either in the presence of chloroquine or not. The cells were then homogenised and the cell free homogenate layered on a continuous sucrose gradient; and the glycoside content and that of various markers measured. In another series of experiments HeLa cells were grown on plastic beads under the above conditions and then the content of glycosides and of some marker enzymes measured. The rate of internalisation of ouabain, digoxin and digitoxin from the plasma membrane preparation produced by the bead method is at 9% hr-1, similar to the rate of loss of digoxin and digitoxin from whole cells but much faster than that of ouabain. In the sucrose gradient experiments it was found that [3H]ouabain, digoxin and digitoxin all initially co-distribute with the plasma membrane marker, 5'-nucleotidase, and then leave this fraction of the homogenate at a fast rate when kept at 37 degrees, to co-distribute with the lysosomal marker, beta-hexosaminidase. At 2 degrees the ouabain remains co-distributed with the plasma membrane marker. The rate of transfer is estimated to be some 90% hr-1, much faster than previously thought. Chloroquine causes an increased retention of digoxin and digitoxin in the lysosomal fraction of the homogenate. These results are best explained by supposing that the sodium pump-glycoside complex rapidly enters a region of the peripheral cytoplasm, and that this region then controls the subsequent exit of digoxin and digitoxin from the cell. The main barrier for ouabain occurs at a stage later than this. The consequences of this model on other aspects of pump activity is discussed.

Abstract
The methodological aspects of (Na+, K+)-ATPase-dependent uptake of 86Rb, a potassium analog, were examined on human lymphocytes isolated from peripheral blood. The study of the time-course, the kinetic parameters, i.e., maximum velocity (Vmax) and Michaelis constant (Km) and the ouabain inhibition curve of 86Rb+ uptake confirm that circulating lymphocytes represent a suitable model for the study of (Na+,K+)-ATPase in human diseases. An application to human obesity is reported: the results indicate that 86Rb+ uptake on circulating lymphocytes is similar in obese and non-obese subjects. Therefore, (Na+,K+)-ATPase does not seem to be involved in the pathogenesis of human obesity.

Abstract
[3H]-noradrenaline [( 3H]-NA) release from the main pulmonary artery of the rabbit has been measured in the presence of neuronal (cocaine, 3 X 10(-5) M) and extraneuronal (corticosterone, 5 X 10(-5) M) uptake blockers. Removal of K from the external medium increased the [3H]-NA release. In the absence of external K, ouabain (10(-4) M) further enhanced the neurotransmitter release. The 'K-free' stimulated [3H]-NA release was inhibited by an increase of external Ca (7.5 mM), an action antagonized by ouabain. After preperfusion of the preparations for 30 min with either excess K (23.6 mM) or excess Ca (7.5 mM), the ouabain-stimulated [3H]-NA release was inhibited by about 50%; the rates of inhibition did not differ significantly from each other. However, the characteristic initial delay before ouabain-evoked neurotransmitter release was shortened in excess K, and prolonged in excess Ca-containing solution. When both excess K and Ca were applied together 30 min before ouabain perfusion, the action of ouabain in releasing neurotransmitter was also inhibited but the rate of inhibition did not differ significantly from that seen when K or Ca were applied separately. The action of K in shortening the initial delay was partly antagonized by Ca. Excess Ca antagonized the inhibition of ouabain-stimulated [3H]-NA release caused by excess K when Ca and ouabain were applied together after 30 min preperfusion with excess K-containing solution. Again excess Ca failed to inhibit the ouabain-evoked neurotransmitter release if ouabain and excess K were applied together after excess Ca preperfusion (30 min). In both cases the initial delay of ouabain action was greatly shortened. 6 The results suggest a Na-Ca competition at the external activation site of the nerve terminal sodium-pump similar to that of Na-K competition. Furthermore it seems that there is a sort of K-Ca competition as well, suggested by the finding that excess Ca prevented the inhibition caused by excess K of ouabain-evoked noradrenaline release and vice versa.

Abstract
In the presence of cocaine and corticosterone low-frequency (2 Hz) nerve stimulation evoked release of [3H]noradrenaline measured from isolated rat portal vein preparation. In normal Krebs solution exogenously applied l-noradrenaline (3 X 10(-8)-10(-6) M) significantly reduced the nerve-evoked [3H]noradrenaline release. The IC50 value of L-noradrenaline proved to be 1.8 X 10(-7) M. Yohimbine (3 X 10(-7) M) maximally blocked the alpha 2-adrenoceptors and enhanced nerve-evoked [3H]noradrenaline release. In the presence of 5.9 mM external K+, ouabain up to 10(-4) M did not affect either the resting or the stimulation-evoked release of radioactivity from tissues. In the absence of external K+ both the resting and the nerve-evoked release of [3H]noradrenaline increased markedly. When K+ was readmitted to preparations which had been kept in K+-free solution both the resting and the stimulation-evoked [3H]noradrenaline release were greatly reduced temporarily. In K+-free solution L-noradrenaline (10(-6) M) and yohimbine (3 X 10(-7) M) failed to significantly alter the nerve-evoked release. However, 3 X 10(-6) M yohimbine in K+-free solution significantly increased the stimulation-evoked release of [3H]noradrenaline. It is concluded that presynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptor-mediated "negative feed-back" is present in rat portal vein preparations which can be inhibited by the preferential alpha 2-adrenoceptor blocker, yohimbine. However, if the Na+-pump is inhibited (which by itself enhanced the transmitter release), presynaptic autoinhibition is more pronounced, since a high concentration of yohimbine is required to block it.

Abstract
K+ (2.4-15.6 mmol l-1) antagonized the positive inotropic effect of dihydro-ouabain. The concentration-effect curves became steeper with the shift to higher concentrations of the glycoside. At 1.2 mmol l-1 Ca2+, an increase in K+ from 2.4 to 12 mmol l-1 required tenfold higher concentrations of dihydro-ouabain to produce equal inotropic effects. This factor was reduced to four at 3.2 mmol l-1 Ca2+. The same change in K+ concentration, at 1.2 mmol l-1 Ca2+, diminished the inotropic effect of ouabain on rested-state contractions by a factor of six. The positive inotropic effect of Ca2+ was also antagonized by K+ (1.2-12 mmol l-1). Reduction of Na+ from 140 to 70 mmol l-1 abolished the antagonistic action of K+ (1.2-8.0 mmol l-1). Moreover the inotropic effect of Ca2+ was enhanced. Reduction of Na+, from 140 to 70 mmol l-1, antagonized the positive inotropic effect of dihydro-ouabain more at low (2.4 mmol l-1) than at high (8.0 mmol l-1) K+. Accordingly, the extent of the dihydro-ouabain-K+ antagonism was reduced. When the K+ concentration was increased from 2.4 to 12 mmol l-1, [3H]-ouabain binding was reduced by a factor of three. This is less than the reduction in the inotropic effectiveness of ouabain or dihydro-ouabain. Reduction of stimulation frequency from 1 to 0.1215 Hz did not significantly alter the antagonistic effect of K+. Diminution of Vmax of the action potential was observed only at K+ concentrations greater than 5.9 mmol l-1, whereas the resting membrane potential was continuously depolarized over the entire range of K+ concentrations. The results support the view that the reduction in receptor affinity cannot be the sole cause of the antagonism between the glycoside and K+. Impairment of passive Na+ influx during diastole, due to the K+-dependent depolarization of the resting membrane potential, contributed to about one half of the glycoside-K+ antagonism.

Abstract
Uptake of tritiated ouabain by cells isolated from dog tracheal epithelium showed two components: a saturable component with a Km of 5.1 X 10(-8) M and a maximal uptake of 8.3 X 10(5) molecules/cell and a nonsaturating component of uptake that was linear with concentration. Several criteria indicated that the saturable uptake component represented binding to the Na+-K+-ATPase. To estimate the average surface area per cell, a known number of cells were pelleted and weighed, and the average surface area was calculated, assuming the cells to be perfectly spherical. The validity of this assumption was confirmed by comparing the calculated surface areas of cells in isotonic and hypotonic media. From the values for maximal saturable uptake and average surface area, a pump density of approximately 2,400 sites/micron2 was calculated. Given that the apical membrane lacks Na pumps and accounts for only approximately 5% of the total surface area, this value corresponds to the pump density of the basolateral cell membrane. The pump densities of ciliated, goblet, and basal cells were compared by autoradiography. The three cell types had approximately the same density of pump sites.

Abstract
Ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake and [3H]ouabain binding were used to measure rates of Na+ pumping and the number of pump sites, respectively, in thoracic aortae from opossums. From the number of Rb+ ions pumped per site per minute, estimates of pump turnover have been made. Values obtained are comparable to those of other species (see Table 1).

Abstract
The dependence of electrogenic sodium pump activity on changes in the cell volume of Helix pomatia neurons with different levels of intracellular sodium ion concentration was studied. Hypertonic solutions caused hyperpolarization of the membrane and increased membrane resistance in cells with a low sodium content (low-sodium cells; LSC). The activity of the electrogenic sodium pump in hypertonic solutions was increased compared to the activity in hypotonic solutions in LSC and decreased in cells with a high sodium content (high-sodium cells; HSC). The concentration of ouabain which led to maximal inhibition of active 22Na efflux from the neurons was 10(-4) M. Lower concentrations of ouabain (10(-8) M and lower) did not inhibit the sodium pump but stimulated it. The swelling of neurons in hypotonic solutions was accompanied by an increase in the number of binding sites for ouabain, while shrinking in hypertonic solutions led to the opposite effect--a decrease in binding sites. An increase in the number of binding sites also took place in normal isotonic potassium-free solutions compared with normal Ringer's solution. Two saturable components of ouabain binding were detectable in all solutions examined. gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and acetylcholine (ACh) increased the number of ouabain binding sites on the membrane. The results suggest that there are two opposite mechanisms by which cell volume changes can modulate the pump activity. One of them depends on the intracellular sodium ion concentration and causes pump activation in hypertonic solutions in LSC and saturation in HSC, while a second mechanism mediates the activating effect of cell swelling on the sodium pump in HSC. In addition, there may be a negative feedback between the pump activity and the number of functioning pump units in the membrane.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to assess the localization of the Na+,K+-ATPase in the neuroepithelial cells of the macula sacculi. In vitro perilymphatic (basolateral) perfusion with ouabain produced a significant drop in the membrane potential. Endolymphatic (apical) application of ouabain had practically no effect on membrane potentials. This suggests that Na+,K+-ATPase is asymmetrically distributed in the neuroepithelial cells.

Abstract
We examined intracellular electrolytes, K influx, and [3H]ouabain-binding capacity of erythrocytes from 32 normal subjects and 45 patients with end-stage renal failure on dialysis, including 16 with high intracellular Na (mean 17.3 +/- 3.9 mmol/liter cell water). The [3H]ouabain-binding capacity of erythrocytes with high cell Na was markedly reduced as compared with that of erythrocytes from normal subjects (274 +/- 52 vs. 455 +/- 59 sites/cell, P less than 0.001). The mean serum creatinine was higher in the uremic group with high cell Na. There was a significant linear correlation between intracellular Na and [3H]ouabain-binding in both normal and uremic subjects. Cross-incubation of normal cells with uremic plasma for 24 h failed to reduce [3H]ouabain-binding capacity of normal cells. In spite of a substantial increase in cell Na, K pump influx was not higher in uremic erythrocytes with high cell Na. When intracellular Na was altered with nystatin (cell Na equal to 120 mmol/liter cell water in both groups), K pump influx was proportional to the number of Na-K pump sites so that the ion turnover rate per pump site was similar in the two groups. Uremic plasma failed to depress K pump influx of normal erythrocytes. The passive net influx of Na in uremic cells with high intracellular Na was not different from that observed in erythrocytes from normal subjects. When erythrocytes were separated by age on Percoll density gradients, the number of Na-K pump sites of the youngest uremic cells was significantly lower than that of the youngest normal cells, suggesting that decreased synthesis of Na-K pump sites, rather than accelerated loss of Na-K pump sites during aging, was responsible for the decrease in [3H]ouabain-binding capacity of erythrocytes from uremic subjects. Taken together, these findings suggest that a decrease in the number of Na-K pump sites plays a major role in the abnormality of Na-K pump of erythrocytes from patients with chronic renal failure.

Abstract
Active ion transport by ATP- or light-driven pumps involves a sequence of elementary steps such as binding and release of ions, as well as conformational transitions of the pump protein. At the microscopic level the individual reaction steps occur at random intervals, and therefore the current generated by electrogenic pumps fluctuates around a mean value. In this paper, a theoretical treatment of the electrical noise associated with active ion transport is given. The analysis, which is based on the calculation of the correlation function, yields the spectral intensity S1 of current noise as a function of frequency, f. The shape of S1(f) contains information on the rate constants as well as on the magnitude of the charge displacements occurring during single reaction steps. The contribution of electrogenic pumps to the total voltage noise of the cell may be estimated from S1(f) and from the frequency-dependent impedance of the cell membrane.

Abstract
We have studied the specific binding of [3H]-ouabain to intact mononuclear leucocytes (82% lymphocytes) and polymorphonuclear leucocytes. In both types of cells [3H]-ouabain binding was saturable, confined to a single site of high affinity, slow to reach equilibrium, slow to reverse, temperature-dependent, competitively antagonized by potassium, and facilitated by the presence of divalent cations. The equilibrium dissociation constants were 2.4 +/- 0.7 nmol/l (polymorphs) and 2.4 +/- 0.4 nmol/l (mononuclear cells) (NS). The values of maximal specific ouabain binding, measured by Scatchard analysis of concentration vs binding curves (Bmax), were 33.9 +/- 6.0 fmol/10(6) cells (polymorphs) and 59.3 +/- 11.6 fmol/10(6) cells (mononuclear cells) (P less than 0.02). The corresponding numbers of sites per cell were 20415 +/- 3616 and 35712 +/- 6986 respectively (P less than 0.02). When the numbers of binding sites were expressed per square micron of cell surface area the difference between the two cell types was proportionately greater (83 and 186 sites per micron 2 respectively). We conclude that the [3H]-ouabain binding sites on mononuclear and polymorphonuclear leucocytes are similar in nature, but different in both number and density on the cell surface. Measurements of Bmax in mixed cell populations should therefore take account of cell type as well as cell size and number.

Abstract
When grown in medium containing 5 mM potassium and 140 mM sodium, HL-60, a human promyelocytic cell line, maintained a steady-state intracellular K+ concentration of 145 mmol/L cells and a steady-state intracellular Na+ concentration of 30 mmol/L cells. Nearly 90% of the unidirectional 42K+ influx could be inhibited by the cardiac glycoside ouabain with a Ki of 5 X 10(-8) M. This ouabain-sensitive component of influx rose as a saturating function of the extracellular K+ concentration with a K1/2 of 0.85 mM. The component of 42K+ influx resistant to ouabain inhibition was a linear function of the extracellular K+ concentration and was insensitive to inhibition by the diuretic furosemide. Unidirectional K+ efflux followed first order kinetics with a half-time of 55 min. Addition of 1.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to a culture of HL-60 cells allowed two population doublings followed by the cessation of growth without an impairment of cell viability. Beginning 2 to 3 days after DMSO addition, the cells underwent a dramatic reduction in volume (from 925 microns 3 to 500 microns 3) and began to take on the morphological features of mature granulocytes. Throughout this process of differentiation there was no change in the intracellular sodium or potassium concentration. However, immediately following the addition of DMSO to a culture of cells, there began an immediate, coordinated reduction in bidirectional K+ flux. The initial rate of the ouabain-sensitive component of K+ influx fell with a half-time of 11 h to a final rate, at 6 days induction, equal to one ninth that of the uninduced control, and over the same period, the rate constant for K+ efflux fell with a half-time of 14 h to a final value one fourth that of the uninduced control. The rapidity with which these flux changes occur raises the possibility that they play some role in the control of subsequent events in the process of differentiation.

Abstract
The number of Na+ pump units (Bmax) and the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) for ouabain as well as parameters of K+ binding to the Na+ pump were examined in in vitro-grown vascular smooth muscle cells ( VSMC ) derived from Sprague-Dawley rats. The technique to measure these variables utilizes analyses of [3H]ouabain displacement from its VSMC receptors by nonlabeled ouabain and K+. The mean values for Bmax and Kd in the cultured VSMCs were 1.95 X 10(5) receptor sites per single VSMC and 2.68 X 10(-6) M, respectively. The equilibrium dissociation constant for K+ (Ki) was 0.92 mM. K+ binding to the cultured VSMCs demonstrated positive cooperativity with a Hill coefficient (n) of 1.78.

Abstract
The migration of intestinal epithelial cells from the crypts to the tips of villi is associated with progressive cell differentiation. The changes in Na+-pump levels during migration have been measured in epithelial cells isolated from rabbit small intestine. A significant proportion of ouabain-sensitive (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in the cell homogenates was latent but could be unmasked by detergent treatment. Highest detergent activation was observed in villus cells. The distribution of pumping sites was also assessed by measuring ouabain binding to intact cells. The kinetics of specific binding was consistent with the interaction of the cardiac glycoside with a single population of binding sites with an apparent Kd of around 10(-7) M. Both enzyme assay and ouabain-binding measurements suggest that a 2-3-fold increase in the number of Na+-pumping sites accompanies cell differentiation in rabbit jejunal epithelium. This increase in pumping capacity might be an adaptation of the cells to their absorptive function.

Abstract
The binding of [3H]ouabain to intact strips of rat aorta was compared with the ability of ouabain to inhibit the uptake of 86Rb by the same preparation. When a cold temperature wash was used to process tissues after binding of [3H]ouabain, a class of relatively high affinity binding sites was found (KD = 1.2 X 10(-7) M). Binding was saturable and sensitive to both ATP depletion and elevated potassium. Elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels by phenylephrine or c-AMP levels by theophylline and terbutaline had no influence on [3H]ouabain binding. Ouabain inhibition of 86Rb uptake progressed to 60% of the total 86Rb uptake at 2 X 10(-3) from a threshold of about 10(-5) M. Half-maximal inhibition by ouabain occurred at a concentration of 10(-4) M. The disparity between [3H]ouabain binding and inhibition of 86Rb uptake indicates that the high affinity binding site in the rat does not contribute to inhibition of Na-K ATPase function.

Abstract
Cardiac glycosides such as digoxin or ouabain have long been known to influence the strength of contraction of cardiac muscle. Although the mechanism of action of these compounds remains unknown, all the proposed modes of action are based on initial binding to specific membrane receptors which are part of the (Na+ + K+)ATPase complex. These receptors, well characterized and defined, suggest the existence of an endogenous substance capable of binding to them, in analogy with endogenous opiates, discovered long after morphine and its receptors. As glycosides affect (Na+ + K+)ATPase activity, an endogenous substance may be a regulator of this important enzyme. Indeed, the search for endogenous regulators of the (Na+ + K+)ATPase or ouabain-like compounds (OLC) has recently intensified. These compounds, extracted and partially purified from mammalian brain, heart, blood and urine, and from toad skin and plasma, have been shown to inhibit 3H-ouabain binding and (Na+ + K+)ATPase activity. We report here that in addition to these effects, the OLC, highly purified from toad skin and sheep brain, increases the force of contraction of frog and guinea pig atrium.

Abstract
Influx experiments using the potassium tracer 86Rb+ indicated that the activity of the Na+K+ ATPase, or sodium pump, was reduced 40-50% as a consequence of Sindbis virus infection of avian fibroblasts. The inhibition of this ouabain-sensitive, active transport system temporally correlated with a decrease in the intracellular K+ concentration and the termination of cellular protein synthesis. By contrast, the rate of influx facilitated by the furosemide-sensitive (Na+K+Cl-) cotransport system was only slightly depressed. Efflux experiments indicated that no alterations in the relative rate of nonspecific permeability or "leakage" of K+ could be detected in chick cells infected by Sindbis virus. The amount of [3H]ouabain bound to Sindbis virus-infected cells paralleled the reduction in Na+K+ ATPase activity. These binding studies revealed no difference in the number of Na+ pump sites. The Km of ouabain binding, however, increased approximately 3.5-fold in the virus-infected cells. No change in the apparent affinity of the Na+ pump for K+ could be detected, yet the Vmax for ouabain-sensitive K+ transport was decreased. These experiments suggest that a reduction in Na+K+ ATPase turnover results in the altered intracellular monovalent cation levels found in Sindbis virus-infected chick cells.

Abstract
The inotropic action of ouabain on isolated perfused hearts of rat, guinea-pig, and cat was studied over a wide concentration range (10(-12)-5 X 10(-3) M). In all three species used, the positive inotropic effect (PIE) of ouabain appeared to be biphasic in character. However, there was a remarkable difference in the course of the logdose-response curves of ouabain on guinea-pig and cat heart as compared with than on rat heart. The first two species showed, at very low concentrations of ouabain (guinea-pig heart: 10(-9) M and cat heart: 10(-10) M), a typical bell-shaped increase in cardiac contractile activity, while at higher concentrations (10(-8)-10(-6) M and 10(-9)-10(-7) M, respectively) the normally observed S-shaped increase in contractile activity occurred. On the contrary, rat hearts showed a flat S-curve between 10(-8) and 10(-6) M and a steep one between 10(-6) and 10(-4) M of ouabain. In order to explain the biphasic action of ouabain a hypothetical model for the mechanism(s) of action of ouabain is discussed. Mathematical description of this model is based on the existence of two different receptor-types for ouabain. It is suggested that sarcolemma-bound calcium may play an important role in both mechanisms of inotropic action of ouabain.

Abstract
A panel of nine mouse monoclonal antibodies has been prepared against purified preparations of rat kidney Na+,K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3). Selection for specific antibody was based upon the ability of crude hybridoma fluids to inhibit Na+-ATPase activity (using luciferase-linked ATPase assays) and upon antibody binding to both the purified kidney membrane enzyme and to glutaraldehyde-fixed hepatocytes by using standard enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assays. After immunoaffinity purification, two of the antibodies (both of the IgG1 subclass) fully inhibit kidney and liver membrane Na+,K+-ATPase activity with Ki (apparent) values of 30 nM ("9-A5") and 600 nM ("9-B1"). Immunoblots demonstrate directly that three different 125I-labeled antibodies (6-4, 9-A5, and 9-B1) bind predominantly to a 94,000 Mr protein that comigrates in NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gels with the fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled alpha subunit of the Na+,K+-ATPase. Indirect immunofluorescence studies with these antibodies on paraformaldehyde-fixed liver slices reveal staining patterns congruent with bile canalicular membrane domains. These results together suggest that the antibodies exert inhibitory effects by recognizing alpha subunits of both liver and kidney Na+ pumps in their native conformations.
