Abstract
Background Thrombosis is a major cause of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. The sodium/potassium ATPase (NKA), comprising α and β subunits, is crucial in maintaining intracellular sodium and potassium gradients. However, the role of NKA in platelet function and thrombosis remains unclear. Methods We utilized wild-type (WT, α1+/+) and NKA α1 heterozygous (α1+/-) mice, aged 8 to 16 weeks, of both sexes. An intravital microscopy-based, FeCl3-induced carotid artery injury thrombosis model was employed for in vivo thrombosis assessment. Platelet transfusion assays were used to evaluate platelet NKA α1 function on thrombosis. Human platelets isolated from healthy donors and heart failure patients treated with/without digoxin were used for platelet function and signaling assay. Complementary molecular approaches were used for mechanistic studies. Results NKA α1 haplodeficiency significantly reduced its expression on platelets without affecting sodium homeostasis. It significantly inhibited 7.5% FeCl3-induced thrombosis in male but not female mice without disturbing hemostasis. Transfusion of α1+/-, but not α1+/+, platelets to thrombocytopenic WT mice substantially prolonged thrombosis. Treating WT mice with low-dose ouabain or marinobufagenin, both binding NKA α1 and inhibiting its ion-transporting function, markedly inhibited thrombosis in vivo. NKA α1 formed complexes with leucine-glycine-leucine (LGL)-containing platelet receptors, including P2Y12, PAR4, and thromboxane A2 receptor. This binding was significantly attenuated by LGL>SFT mutation or LGL peptide. Haplodeficiency of NKA α1 in mice or ouabain treatment of human platelets notably inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation. While not affecting 10% FeCl3-induced thrombosis, NKA α1 haplodeficiency significantly prolonged thrombosis time in mice treated with an ineffective dose of clopidogrel. Conclusion NKA α1 plays an essential role in enhancing platelet activation through binding to LGL-containing platelet GPCRs. NKA α1 haplodeficiency or inhibition with low-dose ouabain and marinobufagenin significantly inhibited thrombosis and sensitized clopidogrel's anti-thrombotic effect. Targeting NKA α1 emerges as a promising antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapeutic strategy.

Oral digoxin effects on exercise performance, K + regulation and skeletal muscle Na + ,K + -ATPase in healthy humans. J Physiol 2022; 600:3749-3774. [PMID: 35837833 PMCID: PMC9541254 DOI: 10.1113/jp283017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract We investigated whether digoxin lowered muscle Na+,K+‐ATPase (NKA), impaired muscle performance and exacerbated exercise K+ disturbances. Ten healthy adults ingested digoxin (0.25 mg; DIG) or placebo (CON) for 14 days and performed quadriceps strength and fatiguability, finger flexion (FF, 105%peak‐workrate, 3 × 1 min, fourth bout to fatigue) and leg cycling (LC, 10 min at 33% VO2peak and 67% VO2peak, 90% VO2peak to fatigue) trials using a double‐blind, crossover, randomised, counter‐balanced design. Arterial (a) and antecubital venous (v) blood was sampled (FF, LC) and muscle biopsied (LC, rest, 67% VO2peak, fatigue, 3 h after exercise). In DIG, in resting muscle, [3H]‐ouabain binding site content (OB‐Fab) was unchanged; however, bound‐digoxin removal with Digibind revealed total ouabain binding (OB+Fab) increased (8.2%, P = 0.047), indicating 7.6% NKA–digoxin occupancy. Quadriceps muscle strength declined in DIG (−4.3%, P = 0.010) but fatiguability was unchanged. During LC, in DIG (main effects), time to fatigue and [K+]a were unchanged, whilst [K+]v was lower (P = 0.042) and [K+]a‐v greater (P = 0.004) than in CON; with exercise (main effects), muscle OB‐Fab was increased at 67% VO2peak (per wet‐weight, P = 0.005; per protein P = 0.001) and at fatigue (per protein, P = 0.003), whilst [K+]a, [K+]v and [K+]a‐v were each increased at fatigue (P = 0.001). During FF, in DIG (main effects), time to fatigue, [K+]a, [K+]v and [K+]a‐v were unchanged; with exercise (main effects), plasma [K+]a, [K+]v, [K+]a‐v and muscle K+ efflux were all increased at fatigue (P = 0.001). Thus, muscle strength declined, but functional muscle NKA content was preserved during DIG, despite elevated plasma digoxin and muscle NKA–digoxin occupancy, with K+ disturbances and fatiguability unchanged.
![]() Key points The Na+,K+‐ATPase (NKA) is vital in regulating skeletal muscle extracellular potassium concentration ([K+]), excitability and plasma [K+] and thereby also in modulating fatigue during intense contractions.
NKA is inhibited by digoxin, which in cardiac patients lowers muscle functional NKA content ([3H]‐ouabain binding) and exacerbates K+ disturbances during exercise. In healthy adults, we found that digoxin at clinical levels surprisingly did not reduce functional muscle NKA content, whilst digoxin removal by Digibind antibody revealed an ∼8% increased muscle total NKA content. Accordingly, digoxin did not exacerbate arterial plasma [K+] disturbances or worsen fatigue during intense exercise, although quadriceps muscle strength was reduced. Thus, digoxin treatment in healthy participants elevated serum digoxin, but muscle functional NKA content was preserved, whilst K+ disturbances and fatigue with intense exercise were unchanged. This resilience to digoxin NKA inhibition is consistent with the importance of NKA in preserving K+ regulation and muscle function.

Lapshin NK, Piotrovskii MS, Trofimova MS. Involvement of plasma membrane H +-ATPase in diamide-induced extracellular alkalization by roots from pea seedlings. PLANTA 2021; 253:10. [PMID: 33389194 DOI: 10.1007/s00425-020-03532-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION The plasma membrane H+-ATPase can be considered as a redox-dependent enzyme, because diamide-mediated inhibition of its hydrolytic and transport activities is accompanied by alkalization of the rhizosphere and retardation of root growth. Plasma membranes were isolated from roots of etiolated pea seedlings treated in the presence of an oxidant-diamide and an inhibitor of redox-sensitive protein phosphatase-phenylarsine oxide. Hydrolytic and proton transport activities of H+-ATPase were determined. The effects of diamide appeared in inhibition of both ATP hydrolysis and the proton transport. However, root treatment with phenylarsine oxide only slightly reduced Vmax, but did not affect ATP-dependent proton transport. The thiol groups of cysteines in the proteins can act as molecular targets for both compounds. However, treatment of isolated membranes with diamide or dithiothreitol did not have any effect on the H+ transport. It can be assumed that water-soluble diamide acts indirectly and its effects are not associated with oxidation of H+-ATPase cysteines. Therefore, plasmalemma was subjected to PEGylation-process where reduced cysteines available for PEG maleimide (5 kDa) were alkylated. Detection of such cysteines was carried out by Western blot analysis with anti-ATPase antibodies. It was found that shifts in the apparent molecular weight were detected only for denaturated proteins. These data suggest that available thiols are not localized on the enzyme surfaces. BN-PAGE analysis showed that the molecular weights of the ATPase complexes are almost identical in all samples. Therefore, oligomerization is probably not the reason for the inhibition of ATPase activity. Roots treated with these inhibitors in vivo exhibited stunted growth; however, a strong alkaline zone around the roots was formed only in the presence of diamide. Involvement of H+-ATPase redox regulation in this process is discussed.
