Abstract
In adapting to disease and loss of tissue, the heart shows great phenotypic plasticity that involves changes to its structure, composition and electrophysiology. Together with parallel whole body cardiovascular adaptations, the initial decline in cardiac function resulting from the insult is compensated. However, in the long term, the heart muscle begins to fail and patients with this condition have a very poor prognosis, with many dying from disturbances of rhythm. The surviving myocytes of these hearts gain Na+ , which is positively inotropic because of alterations to Ca2+ fluxes mediated by the Na+ /Ca2+ exchange, but compromises Ca2+ -dependent energy metabolism in mitochondria. Uptake of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is reduced because of diminished function of SR Ca2+ ATPases. The result of increased Ca2+ influx and reduced SR Ca2+ uptake is an increase in the diastolic cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, which promotes spontaneous SR Ca2+ release and induces delayed afterdepolarisations. Action potential duration prolongs because of increased late Na+ current and changes in expression and function of other ion channels and transporters increasing the probability of the formation of early afterdepolarisations. There is a reduction in T-tubule density and so the normal spatial arrangements required for efficient excitation-contraction coupling are compromised and lead to temporal delays in Ca2+ release from the SR. Therefore, the structural and electrophysiological responses that occur to provide compensation do so at the expense of (1) increasing the likelihood of arrhythmogenesis; (2) activating hypertrophic, apoptotic and Ca2+ signalling pathways; and (3) decreasing the efficiency of SR Ca2+ release.

Mehrabian M, Wang X, Eid S, Yan BQ, Grinberg M, Siegner M, Sackmann C, Sulman M, Zhao W, Williams D, Schmitt-Ulms G. Cardiac glycoside-mediated turnover of Na, K-ATPases as a rational approach to reducing cell surface levels of the cellular prion protein. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0270915. [PMID: 35776750 PMCID: PMC9249225 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0270915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
It is widely anticipated that a reduction of brain levels of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) can prolong survival in a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as prion diseases. To date, efforts to decrease steady-state PrPC levels by targeting this protein directly with small molecule drug-like compounds have largely been unsuccessful. Recently, we reported Na,K-ATPases to reside in immediate proximity to PrPC in the brain, unlocking an opportunity for an indirect PrPC targeting approach that capitalizes on the availability of potent cardiac glycosides (CGs). Here, we report that exposure of human co-cultures of neurons and astrocytes to non-toxic nanomolar levels of CGs causes profound reductions in PrPC levels. The mechanism of action underpinning this outcome relies primarily on a subset of CGs engaging the ATP1A1 isoform, one of three α subunits of Na,K-ATPases expressed in brain cells. Upon CG docking to ATP1A1, the ligand receptor complex, and PrPC along with it, is internalized by the cell. Subsequently, PrPC is channeled to the lysosomal compartment where it is digested in a manner that can be rescued by silencing the cysteine protease cathepsin B. These data signify that the repurposing of CGs may be beneficial for the treatment of prion disorders.

The cellular prion protein interacts with and promotes the activity of Na,K-ATPases. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0258682.

Abstract
The prion protein (PrP) is best known for its ability to cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals. Here, we revisited its molecular environment in the brain using a well-developed affinity-capture mass spectrometry workflow that offers robust relative quantitation. The analysis confirmed many previously reported interactions. It also pointed toward a profound enrichment of Na,K-ATPases (NKAs) in proximity to cellular PrP (PrPC). Follow-on work validated the interaction, demonstrated partial co-localization of the ATP1A1 and PrPC, and revealed that cells exposed to cardiac glycoside (CG) inhibitors of NKAs exhibit correlated changes to the steady-state levels of both proteins. Moreover, the presence of PrPC was observed to promote the ion uptake activity of NKAs in a human co-culture paradigm of differentiated neurons and glia cells, and in mouse neuroblastoma cells. Consistent with this finding, changes in the expression of 5’-nucleotidase that manifest in wild-type cells in response to CG exposure can also be observed in untreated PrPC-deficient cells. Finally, the endoproteolytic cleavage of the glial fibrillary acidic protein, a hallmark of late-stage prion disease, can also be induced by CGs, raising the prospect that a loss of NKA activity may contribute to the pathobiology of prion diseases.

Sajeevadathan M, Pettitt MJ, Buhr MM. Are isoforms of capacitating Na + K + -ATPase localized to sperm head rafts? Mol Reprod Dev 2021; 88:731-743.

Abstract
Capacitation begins in the sperm head plasma membrane (HPM). Membrane rafts could house signaling molecules, but although these specialized microdomains have been microscopically visualized in sperm heads, rafts have been isolated for study only from homogenized whole sperm or tails, never purified HPM. Sodium/potassium ATPase (Na+ K+ -ATPase) is a membrane-bound signaling protein that induces capacitation in bull sperm in response to the steroid hormone ouabain, and its subunit isoforms α1, α3, β1, β2, and β3 are known in HPM. This study hypothesized that rafts exist in the HPM of bull sperm, with Na+ K+ -ATPase subunit isoforms preferentially localized there. Western immunoblotting (WB) of HPM from fresh, uncapacitated bull sperm (n = 7 ejaculates), and detergent-resistant membranes isolated by density gradient centrifugation from this HPM, contained the raft-marker protein Flotillin-1; the non-raft fraction did not. HPM, raft, and non-raft contained all known Na+ K+ -ATPase isoforms including, for the first time, the previously unknown α2 isoform. Quantification (ImageQuant Software) found α3 and β1 were relatively dominant isoforms in the HPM raft. WB profiles of raft isoforms differed significantly from HPM and non-raft profiles, with unique banding patterns and amounts, hinting that the capacitation signaling in the now-identified HPM rafts may depend on unique sequences within the isoform structure.

Role of ZIP8 in regulation of cisplatin sensitivity through Bcl-2. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2018; 362:52-58.

Abstract
ZIP8 is a membrane transporter that facilitates the uptake of divalent metals (e.g., Zn, Mn, Fe, Cd) and the mineral selenite in anionic form. ZIP8 functionality has been recently reported to regulate cell proliferation, migration and cytoskeleton arrangement, exhibiting an essential role for normal physiology. In this study, we report a ZIP8 role in chemotherapy response. We show ZIP8 regulates cell sensitivity to the anti-cancer drug cisplatin. Overexpression of ZIP8 in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells induces cisplatin sensitivity, while knockout of ZIP8 in leukemia HAP1 cells leads to cisplatin resistance. In ZIP8 altered cells and transgenic mice, we show cisplatin is not a direct ZIP8 substrate. Further studies demonstrate that ZIP8 regulates anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. ZIP8 overexpression decreases Bcl-2 levels in cultured cells, mice lung and liver tissue while loss of ZIP8 elevates Bcl-2 expression in HAP1 cells and liver tissue. We also observe that ZIP8 overexpression modulates cisplatin-induced cell apoptosis, manifested by the increased protein level of cleaved Caspase-3. Since Bcl-2 elevation was previously discovered to induce cisplatin drug resistance, our results suggest ZIP8 may modulate cisplatin drug responses as well as apoptosis through Bcl-2. We therefore conclude ZIP8 is a new molecule to be involved in cisplatin drug responses and is predicted as a genetic factor to be considered in cisplatin therapy.

Abstract
The ubiquitous sodium/potassium ATPase (Na pump) is the most abundant primary active transporter at the cell surface of multiple cell types, including ventricular myocytes in the heart. The activity of the Na pump establishes transmembrane ion gradients that control numerous events at the cell surface, positioning it as a key regulator of the contractile and metabolic state of the myocardium. Defects in Na pump activity and regulation elevate intracellular Na in cardiac muscle, playing a causal role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction, arrhythmias and heart failure. Palmitoylation is the reversible conjugation of the fatty acid palmitate to specific protein cysteine residues; all subunits of the cardiac Na pump are palmitoylated. Palmitoylation of the pump's accessory subunit phospholemman (PLM) by the cell surface palmitoyl acyl transferase DHHC5 leads to pump inhibition, possibly by altering the relationship between the pump catalytic α subunit and specifically bound membrane lipids. In this review, we discuss the functional impact of PLM palmitoylation on the cardiac Na pump and the molecular basis of recognition of PLM by its palmitoylating enzyme DHHC5, as well as effects of palmitoylation on Na pump cell surface abundance in the cardiac muscle. We also highlight the numerous unanswered questions regarding the cellular control of this fundamentally important regulatory process.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, predominantly ischemic heart disease (IHD), is the leading cause of death in diabetes mellitus (DM). In addition to eliciting cardiomyopathy, DM induces a ‘wicked triumvirate’: (i) increasing the risk and incidence of IHD and myocardial ischemia; (ii) decreasing myocardial tolerance to ischemia–reperfusion (I–R) injury; and (iii) inhibiting or eliminating responses to cardioprotective stimuli. Changes in ischemic tolerance and cardioprotective signaling may contribute to substantially higher mortality and morbidity following ischemic insult in DM patients. Among the diverse mechanisms implicated in diabetic impairment of ischemic tolerance and cardioprotection, changes in sarcolemmal makeup may play an overarching role and are considered in detail in the current review. Observations predominantly in animal models reveal DM-dependent changes in membrane lipid composition (cholesterol and triglyceride accumulation, fatty acid saturation vs. reduced desaturation, phospholipid remodeling) that contribute to modulation of caveolar domains, gap junctions and T-tubules. These modifications influence sarcolemmal biophysical properties, receptor and phospholipid signaling, ion channel and transporter functions, contributing to contractile and electrophysiological dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, ischemic intolerance and suppression of protective signaling. A better understanding of these sarcolemmal abnormalities in types I and II DM (T1DM, T2DM) can inform approaches to limiting cardiomyopathy, associated IHD and their consequences. Key knowledge gaps include details of sarcolemmal changes in models of T2DM, temporal patterns of lipid, microdomain and T-tubule changes during disease development, and the precise impacts of these diverse sarcolemmal modifications. Importantly, exercise, dietary, pharmacological and gene approaches have potential for improving sarcolemmal makeup, and thus myocyte function and stress-resistance in this ubiquitous metabolic disorder.

Abstract
The β1- and β2-adrenergic signaling systems play different roles in the functioning of cardiac cells. Experimental data show that the activation of the β1-adrenergic signaling system produces significant inotropic, lusitropic, and chronotropic effects in the heart, whereas the effects of the β2-adrenergic signaling system is less apparent. In this paper, a comprehensive compartmentalized experimentally based mathematical model of the combined β1- and β2-adrenergic signaling systems in mouse ventricular myocytes is developed to simulate the experimental findings and make testable predictions of the behavior of the cardiac cells under different physiological conditions. Simulations describe the dynamics of major signaling molecules in different subcellular compartments; kinetics and magnitudes of phosphorylation of ion channels, transporters, and Ca2+ handling proteins; modifications of action potential shape and duration; and [Ca2+]i and [Na+]i dynamics upon stimulation of β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors (β1- and β2-ARs). The model reveals physiological conditions when β2-ARs do not produce significant physiological effects and when their effects can be measured experimentally. Simulations demonstrated that stimulation of β2-ARs with isoproterenol caused a marked increase in the magnitude of the L-type Ca2+ current, [Ca2+]i transient, and phosphorylation of phospholamban only upon additional application of pertussis toxin or inhibition of phosphodiesterases of type 3 and 4. The model also made testable predictions of the changes in magnitudes of [Ca2+]i and [Na+]i fluxes, the rate of decay of [Na+]i concentration upon both combined and separate stimulation of β1- and β2-ARs, and the contribution of phosphorylation of PKA targets to the changes in the action potential and [Ca2+]i transient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic dysfunctions characteristic of overt hypothyroidism (OH) start at the early stage of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase (the sodium pump) is a transmembrane enzyme that plays a vital role in cellular activities in combination with membrane lipids. We evaluated the effects of early changes in thyroid hormone and membrane cholesterol on sodium pump activity in SCH and OH patients. METHODS In 32 SCH patients, 35 OH patients, and 34 euthyroid patients, sodium pump activity and cholesterol levels in red blood cell membranes were measured. Serum thyroxine (T₄) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Differences in their mean values were analysed using post hoc analysis of variance. We assessed the dependence of the sodium pump on other metabolites by multiple regression analysis. RESULTS Sodium pump activity and membrane cholesterol were lower in both hypothyroid groups than in control group, OH group exhibiting lower values than SCH group. In SCH group, sodium pump activity showed a significant direct dependence on membrane cholesterol with an inverse relationship with serum TSH levels. In OH group, sodium pump activity depended directly on membrane cholesterol and serum T₄ levels. No dependence on serum cholesterol was observed in either case. CONCLUSION Despite the presence of elevated serum cholesterol in hypothyroidism, membrane cholesterol contributed significantly to maintain sodium pump activity in the cells. A critical reduction in membrane cholesterol levels heralds compromised enzyme activity, even in the early stage of hypothyroidism, and this can be predicted by elevated TSH levels alone, without any evident clinical manifestations.

Abstract
Caveolins (Cavs) are ~20 kDa scaffolding proteins that assemble as oligomeric complexes in lipid raft domains to form caveolae, flask-shaped plasma membrane (PM) invaginations. Caveolae ("little caves") require lipid-lipid, protein-lipid, and protein-protein interactions that can modulate the localization, conformational stability, ligand affinity, effector specificity, and other functions of proteins that are partners of Cavs. Cavs are assembled into small oligomers in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), transported to the Golgi for assembly with cholesterol and other oligomers, and then exported to the PM as an intact coat complex. At the PM, cavins, ~50 kDa adapter proteins, oligomerize into an outer coat complex that remodels the membrane into caveolae. The structure of caveolae protects their contents (i.e., lipids and proteins) from degradation. Cellular changes, including signal transduction effects, can destabilize caveolae and produce cavin dissociation, restructuring of Cav oligomers, ubiquitination, internalization, and degradation. In this review, we provide a perspective of the life cycle (biogenesis, degradation), composition, and physiologic roles of Cavs and caveolae and identify unanswered questions regarding the roles of Cavs and cavins in caveolae and in regulating cell physiology.1.

Abstract
Background Modern broiler chickens exhibit very rapid growth and high feed efficiency compared to unselected chicken breeds. The improved production efficiency in modern broiler chickens was achieved by the intensive genetic selection for meat production. This study was designed to investigate the genetic alterations accumulated in modern broiler breeder lines during selective breeding conducted over several decades. Methods To identify genes important in determining muscle growth and feed efficiency in broilers, RNA sequencing (RNAseq) was conducted with breast muscle in modern pedigree male (PeM) broilers (n = 6 per group), and with an unselected foundation broiler line (Barred Plymouth Rock; BPR). The RNAseq analysis was carried out using Ilumina Hiseq (2 x 100 bp paired end read) and raw reads were assembled with the galgal4 reference chicken genome. With normalized RPM values, genes showing >10 average read counts were chosen and genes showing <0.05 p-value and >1.3 fold change were considered as differentially expressed (DE) between PeM and BPR. DE genes were subjected to Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) for bioinformatic functional interpretation. Results The results indicate that 2,464 DE genes were identified in the comparison between PeM and BPR. Interestingly, the expression of genes encoding mitochondrial proteins in chicken are significantly biased towards the BPR group, suggesting a lowered mitochondrial content in PeM chicken muscles compared to BPR chicken. This result is inconsistent with more slow muscle fibers bearing a lower mitochondrial content in the PeM. The molecular, cellular and physiological functions of DE genes in the comparison between PeM and BPR include organismal injury, carbohydrate metabolism, cell growth/proliferation, and skeletal muscle system development, indicating that cellular mechanisms in modern broiler lines are tightly associated with rapid growth and differential muscle fiber contents compared to the unselected BPR line. Particularly, PDGF (platelet derived growth factor) signaling and NFE2L2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2-like 2; also known as NRF2) mediated oxidative stress response pathways appear to be activated in modern broiler compared to the foundational BPR line. Upstream and network analyses revealed that the MSTN (myostatin) –FST (follistatin) interactions and inhibition of AR (androgen receptor) were predicted to be effective regulatory factors for DE genes in modern broiler line. PRKAG3 (protein kinase, AMP-activated, gamma 3 non-catalytic subunit) and LIPE (lipase E) are predicted as core regulatory factors for myogenic development, nutrient and lipid metabolism. Conclusion The highly upregulated genes in PeM may represent phenotypes of subclinical myopathy commonly observed in the commercial broiler breast tissue, that can lead to muscle hardening, named as woody breast. By investigating global gene expression in a highly selected pedigree broiler line and a foundational breed (Barred Plymouth Rock), the results provide insight into cellular mechanisms that regulate muscle growth, fiber composition and feed efficiency.

Cell Tissue Res 2016; 368:187-200.

Abstract
Capacitation comprises a series of structural and functional modifications of sperm that confer fertilizing ability. We previously reported that the testis-specific isoform of Na/K-ATPase (ATP1A4) regulated bovine sperm capacitation through signaling mechanisms involving kinases. During subsequent investigations to elucidate mechanisms by which ATP1A4 regulates sperm capacitation, we observed that ATP1A4 was localised in both raft and non-raft fractions of the sperm plasma membrane and that its total content was increased in both membrane fractions during capacitation. The objective of the present study was to investigate mechanism(s) of capacitation-associated increase in the content of ATP1A4. Despite the widely accepted dogma of transcriptional/translational quiescence, incubation of sperm with either ouabain (specific ligand for ATP1A4) or heparin increased ATP1A4 content in raft and non-raft sperm membrane fractions, total sperm protein extracts (immunoblotting) and fixed sperm (flow cytometry), with a concurrent increase in Na/K-ATPase enzyme activity. This capacitation-associated increase in ATP1A4 content was partially decreased by chloramphenicol (mitochondrial translation inhibitor) but not affected by actinomycin D (transcription inhibitor). To demonstrate de novo ATP1A4 synthesis, we evaluated incorporation of bodipy conjugated lysine in this protein during capacitation. A partial decrease in bodipy-lysine incorporation occurred in ATP1A4 from sperm capacitated in the presence of chloramphenicol. Therefore, increased ATP1A4 content during capacitation was attributed to mitochondrial translation of ATP1A4 mRNA present in ejaculated sperm, rather than gene transcription. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating ATP1A4 synthesis during bovine sperm capacitation.

Abstract
Binding of ouabain to cardiac Na+/K+-ATPase initiates cell signaling and causes contractility in cardiomyocytes. It is widely accepted that caveolins, structural proteins of caveolae, have been implicated in signal transduction. It is known that caveolae play a role in Na+/K+-ATPase functions. Regulation of caveolin-1 in ouabain-mediated cardiac signaling and contractility has never been reported. The aim of this study is to compare ouabain-induced cardiac signaling and contractility in wild-type (WT) and caveolin-1 knockout (cav-1 KO) mice. In contrast with WT cardiomyocytes, ouabain-induced signaling e.g., activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase-α/Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK)1/2, and hypertrophic growth were significantly reduced in cav-1 KO cardiomyocytes. Interactions of the Na+/K+-ATPase α1-subunit with caveolin-3 and the Na+/K+-ATPase α1-subunit with PI3K-α were also decreased in cav-1 KO cardiomyocytes. The results from cav-1 KO mouse embryonic fibroblasts also proved that cav-1 significantly attenuated ouabain-induced ERK1/2 activation without alteration in protein and cholesterol distribution in caveolae/lipid rafts. Intriguingly, the effect of ouabain induced positive inotropy in vivo (via transient infusion of ouabain, 0.48 nmol/g body wt) was not attenuated in cav-1 KO mice. Furthermore, ouabain (1-100 μM) induced dose-dependent contractility in isolated working hearts from WT and cav-1 KO mice. The effects of ouabain on contractility between WT and cav-1 KO mice were not significantly different. These results demonstrated differential roles of cav-1 in the regulation of ouabain signaling and contractility. Signaling by ouabain, in contrast to contractility, may be a redundant property of Na+/K+-ATPase.

Abstract
Ouabain stimulates activation of various signaling cascades such as protein kinase B (Akt) and Extracellular-signaling-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2) in various cell lines. Retinoic acid (RA) is commonly used to induce neuroblastoma differentiation in cultures. Upon RA administration, human neuroblastoma cell line, SK-N-SH demonstrated neurite extensions, which is an indicator of neuronal cell differentiation. Here we report that ouabain-induced signaling is altered under the action of 1 μM RA in human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells. RA increased the expression of p110α subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt and β1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase. Ouabain activated Akt and ERK 1/2 in differentiated SK-N-SH cells; this effect was not observed in non-differentiated SK-N-SH cells. Long-term incubation of non-differentiated SK-N-SH with 1 μM ouabain led to a decrease in the number of cells; this effect was reduced in differentiated SK-N-SH cells. Taken together, these results suggest that ouabain leads to cell death in neuroblastoma cells rather than neuronal cells due to the different response to ouabain manifested by activation of Akt and ERK 1/2.
Highlights
• RA increases the expression of p110α subunit of PI3K, Akt and β1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase • Ouabain induces activation of Akt and ERK 1/2 in differentiated SK-N-SH cells but not in non-differentiated cells • 1 μM ouabain leads to a decrease in the number of cells in non-differentiated SK-N-SH • Reduction of ouabain-induced cell death in differentiated SK-N-SH

Abstract
Na,K-ATPase is a protein ubiquitously expressed in the plasma membrane of all animal cells and vitally essential for their functions. A specialized functional diversity of the Na,K-ATPase isozymes is provided by molecular heterogeneity, distinct subcellular localizations, and functional interactions with molecular environment. Studies over the last decades clearly demonstrated complex and isoform-specific reciprocal functional interactions between the Na,K-ATPase and neighboring proteins and lipids. These interactions are enabled by a spatially restricted ion homeostasis, direct protein-protein/lipid interactions, and protein kinase signaling pathways. In addition to its "classical" function in ion translocation, the Na,K-ATPase is now considered as one of the most important signaling molecules in neuronal, epithelial, skeletal, cardiac and vascular tissues. Accordingly, the Na,K-ATPase forms specialized sub-cellular multimolecular microdomains which act as receptors to circulating endogenous cardiotonic steroids (CTS) triggering a number of signaling pathways. Changes in these endogenous cardiotonic steroid levels and initiated signaling responses have significant adaptive values for tissues and whole organisms under numerous physiological and pathophysiological conditions. This review discusses recent progress in the studies of functional interactions between the Na,K-ATPase and molecular microenvironment, the Na,K-ATPase-dependent signaling pathways and their significance for diversity of cell function.

Abstract
Embryonic mortality is a major constraint to improving reproductive efficiency and profitability in livestock enterprises. We previously reported differential expression of genes with identified roles in cellular growth and proliferation, lipid metabolism, endometrial remodeling, inflammation, angiogenesis, and metabolic exchange in endometrial tissue on day 7 of the estrous cycle (D7), between heifers ranked as either high (HF) or low (LF) for fertility. The aim of the current study was to further elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to early embryo loss by examining differential endometrial gene expression in HF or LF heifers at a later stage of the estrous cycle;day 14(D14). A second objective was to compare these expression profiles with those from midluteal HF and LF endometrium. Using the same animal model as employed in the previous study, we slaughtered HF and LF animals on D14, harvested endometrial tissue, and carried out global gene expression analysis using the Affymetrix Bovine GeneChip. Microarray analysis detected 430 differentially expressed genes (DEG) between HF and LF animals. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed enrichment for a host of biological pathways including lipid metabolism, molecular transport, immune response, cell morphology and development, and cell growth and proliferation. Important DEG includedALB, BMPR2, CCL28, COL4A3/4, FADS1, ITGA6, LDLR, PLCB3, PPARG, PTGS2, and SLC27A4 Furthermore, DEG expressed on both D7 and D14 included:PCCB,SLC25A24,DAP, and COL4A4 This study highlights some of the pathways and mechanisms underpinning late luteal bovine endometrial physiology and endometrial-related conception rate variance.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia in adults is a highly heterogeneous disease. Gene expression profiling performed using unsupervised algorithms can be used to distinguish specific groups of patients within a large patient cohort. The identified gene expression signatures can offer insights into underlying physiological mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. Here, the analysis of several related gene expression clusters associated with poor outcome, worst overall survival and highest rates of resistant disease and obtained from the patients at the time of diagnosis or from previously untreated individuals is presented. Surprisingly, these gene clusters appear to be enriched for genes corresponding to proteins involved in transport across membranes (transporters, carriers and channels). Several ideas describing the possible relationship of membrane transport activity and leukemic cell biology, including the "Warburg effect," the specific role of chloride ion transport, direct "import" of metabolic energy through uptake of creatine phosphate, and modification of the bone marrow niche microenvironment are discussed.

Abstract
The lipid raft concept proposes that membrane environments enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids cluster certain proteins and form platforms to integrate cell signaling. In cardiac muscle, caveolae concentrate signaling molecules and ion transporters, and play a vital role in adrenergic regulation of excitation–contraction coupling, and consequently cardiac contractility. Proteomic analysis of cardiac caveolae is hampered by the presence of contaminants that have sometimes, erroneously, been proposed to be resident in these domains. Here we present the first unbiased analysis of the proteome of cardiac caveolae, and investigate dynamic changes in their protein constituents following adrenoreceptor (AR) stimulation. Rat ventricular myocytes were treated with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) to deplete cholesterol and disrupt caveolae. Buoyant caveolin-enriched microdomains (BCEMs) were prepared from MβCD-treated and control cell lysates using a standard discontinuous sucrose gradient. BCEMs were harvested, pelleted, and resolubilized, then alkylated, digested, and labeled with iTRAQ reagents, and proteins identified by LC-MS/MS on a LTQ Orbitrap Velos Pro. Proteins were defined as BCEM resident if they were consistently depleted from the BCEM fraction following MβCD treatment. Selective activation of α-, β1-, and β2-AR prior to preparation of BCEMs was achieved by application of agonist/antagonist pairs for 10 min in populations of field-stimulated myocytes. We typically identified 600–850 proteins per experiment, of which, 249 were defined as high-confidence BCEM residents. Functional annotation clustering indicates cardiac BCEMs are enriched in integrin signaling, guanine nucleotide binding, ion transport, and insulin signaling clusters. Proteins possessing a caveolin binding motif were poorly enriched in BCEMs, suggesting this is not the only mechanism that targets proteins to caveolae. With the notable exception of the cavin family, very few proteins show altered abundance in BCEMs following AR activation, suggesting signaling complexes are preformed in BCEMs to ensure a rapid and high fidelity response to adrenergic stimulation in cardiac muscle.

Bondarenko VE. A compartmentalized mathematical model of the β1-adrenergic signaling system in mouse ventricular myocytes. PLoS One 2014; 9:e89113. [PMID: 24586529 PMCID: PMC3931689 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0089113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2013] [Accepted: 01/14/2014] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The β1-adrenergic signaling system plays an important role in the functioning of cardiac cells. Experimental data shows that the activation of this system produces inotropy, lusitropy, and chronotropy in the heart, such as increased magnitude and relaxation rates of [Ca2+]i transients and contraction force, and increased heart rhythm. However, excessive stimulation of β1-adrenergic receptors leads to heart dysfunction and heart failure. In this paper, a comprehensive, experimentally based mathematical model of the β1-adrenergic signaling system for mouse ventricular myocytes is developed, which includes major subcellular functional compartments (caveolae, extracaveolae, and cytosol). The model describes biochemical reactions that occur during stimulation of β1-adrenoceptors, changes in ionic currents, and modifications of Ca2+ handling system. Simulations describe the dynamics of major signaling molecules, such as cyclic AMP and protein kinase A, in different subcellular compartments; the effects of inhibition of phosphodiesterases on cAMP production; kinetics and magnitudes of phosphorylation of ion channels, transporters, and Ca2+ handling proteins; modifications of action potential shape and duration; magnitudes and relaxation rates of [Ca2+]i transients; changes in intracellular and transmembrane Ca2+ fluxes; and [Na+]i fluxes and dynamics. The model elucidates complex interactions of ionic currents upon activation of β1-adrenoceptors at different stimulation frequencies, which ultimately lead to a relatively modest increase in action potential duration and significant increase in [Ca2+]i transients. In particular, the model includes two subpopulations of the L-type Ca2+ channels, in caveolae and extracaveolae compartments, and their effects on the action potential and [Ca2+]i transients are investigated. The presented model can be used by researchers for the interpretation of experimental data and for the developments of mathematical models for other species or for pathological conditions.

Oxidative inhibition of the vascular Na+-K+ pump via NADPH oxidase-dependent β1-subunit glutathionylation: implications for angiotensin II-induced vascular dysfunction. Free Radic Biol Med 2013; 65:563-572.

Abstract
Glutathionylation of the Na(+)-K(+) pump's β1-subunit is a key molecular mechanism of physiological and pathophysiological pump inhibition in cardiac myocytes. Its contribution to Na(+)-K(+) pump regulation in other tissues is unknown, and cannot be assumed given the dependence on specific β-subunit isoform expression and receptor-coupled pathways. As Na(+)-K(+) pump activity is an important determinant of vascular tone through effects on [Ca(2+)]i, we have examined the role of oxidative regulation of the Na(+)-K(+) pump in mediating angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced increases in vascular reactivity. β1-subunit glutathione adducts were present at baseline and increased by exposure to Ang II in rabbit aortic rings, primary rabbit aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and human arterial segments. In VSMCs, Ang II-induced glutathionylation was associated with marked reduction in Na(+)-K(+)ATPase activity, an effect that was abolished by the NADPH oxidase inhibitory peptide, tat-gp91ds. In aortic segments, Ang II-induced glutathionylation was associated with decreased K(+)-induced vasorelaxation, a validated index of pump activity. Ang II-induced oxidative inhibition of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase and decrease in K(+)-induced relaxation were reversed by preincubation of VSMCs and rings with recombinant FXYD3 protein that is known to facilitate deglutathionylation of β1-subunit. Knock-out of FXYD1 dramatically decreased K(+)-induced relaxation in a mouse model. Attenuation of Ang II signaling in vivo by captopril (8 mg/kg/day for 7 days) decreased superoxide-sensitive DHE levels in the media of rabbit aorta, decreased β1-subunit glutathionylation, and enhanced K(+)-induced vasorelaxation. Ang II inhibits the Na(+)-K(+) pump in VSMCs via NADPH oxidase-dependent glutathionylation of the pump's β1-subunit, and this newly identified signaling pathway may contribute to altered vascular tone. FXYD proteins reduce oxidative inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+) pump and may have an important protective role in the vasculature under conditions of oxidative stress.

Abstract
The human α1/His10-β1 isoform of Na,K-ATPase has been reconstituted as a complex with and without FXYD1 into proteoliposomes of various lipid compositions in order to study the effect of the regulatory subunit on the half-saturating Na⁺ concentration (K(½)) of Na⁺ ions for activation of the ion pump. It has been shown that the fraction of negatively charged lipid in the bilayer crucially affects the regulatory properties. At low concentrations of the negatively charged lipid DOPS (<10 %), FXYD1 increases K(½) of Na⁺ ions for activation of the ion pump. Phosphorylation of FXYD1 by protein kinase A at Ser68 abrogates this effect. Conversely, for proteoliposomes made with high concentrations of DOPS (>10 %), little or no effect of FXYD1 on the K(½) of Na⁺ ions is observed. Depending on ionic strength and lipid composition of the proteoliposomes, FXYD1 can alter the K(½) of Na⁺ ions by up to twofold. We propose possible molecular mechanisms to explain the regulatory effects of FXYD1 and the influence of charged lipid and protein phosphorylation. In particular, the positively charged C-terminal helix of FXYD1 appears to be highly mobile and may interact with the cytoplasmic N domain of the α-subunit, the interaction being strongly affected by phosphorylation at Ser68 and the surface charge of the membrane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phospholemman regulates the plasmalemmal sodium pump in excitable tissues. RESULTS In cardiac muscle, a subpopulation of phospholemman with a unique phosphorylation signature associates with other phospholemman molecules but not with the pump. CONCLUSION Phospholemman oligomers exist in cardiac muscle. SIGNIFICANCE Much like phospholamban regulation of SERCA, phospholemman exists as both a sodium pump inhibiting monomer and an unassociated oligomer. Phospholemman (PLM), the principal quantitative sarcolemmal substrate for protein kinases A and C in the heart, regulates the cardiac sodium pump. Much like phospholamban, which regulates the related ATPase SERCA, PLM is reported to oligomerize. We investigated subpopulations of PLM in adult rat ventricular myocytes based on phosphorylation status. Co-immunoprecipitation identified two pools of PLM: one not associated with the sodium pump phosphorylated at Ser(63) and one associated with the pump, both phosphorylated at Ser(68) and unphosphorylated. Phosphorylation of PLM at Ser(63) following activation of PKC did not abrogate association of PLM with the pump, so its failure to associate with the pump was not due to phosphorylation at this site. All pools of PLM co-localized to cell surface caveolin-enriched microdomains with sodium pump α subunits, despite the lack of caveolin-binding motif in PLM. Mass spectrometry analysis of phosphospecific immunoprecipitation reactions revealed no unique protein interactions for Ser(63)-phosphorylated PLM, and cross-linking reagents also failed to identify any partner proteins for this pool. In lysates from hearts of heterozygous transgenic animals expressing wild type and unphosphorylatable PLM, Ser(63)-phosphorylated PLM co-immunoprecipitated unphosphorylatable PLM, confirming the existence of PLM multimers. Dephosphorylation of the PLM multimer does not change sodium pump activity. Hence like phospholamban, PLM exists as a pump-inhibiting monomer and an unassociated oligomer. The distribution of different PLM phosphorylation states to different pools may be explained by their differential proximity to protein phosphatases rather than a direct effect of phosphorylation on PLM association with the pump.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin and its plasma membrane receptor constitute an ancient response system critical to cell growth and differentiation. Studies using intact Rana pipiens oocytes have shown that insulin can act at receptors on the oocyte surface to initiate resumption of the first meiotic division. We have reexamined the insulin-induced cascade of electrical and ion transport-related plasma membrane events using both oocytes and intact plasma membranes in order to characterize the insulin receptor-steroid response system associated with the meiotic divisions. RESULTS [(125)I]Insulin binding (K(d) = 54 ± 6 nM) at the oocyte plasma membrane activates membrane serine protease(s), followed by the loss of low affinity ouabain binding sites, with a concomitant 3-4 fold increase in high affinity ouabain binding sites. The changes in protease activity and ouabain binding are associated with increased Na(+)/Ca2(+) exchange, increased endocytosis, decreased Na(+) conductance resulting in membrane hyperpolarization, increased 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake and a sustained elevation of intracellular pH (pHi). Hyperpolarization is largely due to Na(+)-channel inactivation and is the main driving force for glucose uptake by the oocyte via Na(+)/glucose cotransport. The Na(+) sym- and antiporter systems are driven by the Na(+) free energy gradient generated by Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase. Shifts in α and/or β Na(+)-pump subunits to caveolar (lipid raft) membrane regions may activate Na/K-ATPase and contribute to the Na(+) free energy gradient and the increase in both Na(+)/glucose co-transport and pHi. CONCLUSIONS Under physiological conditions, resumption of meiosis results from the concerted action of insulin and progesterone at the cell membrane. Insulin inactivates Na(+) channels and mobilizes fully functional Na(+)-pumps, generating a Na(+) free energy gradient which serves as the energy source for several membrane anti- and symporter systems.

Abstract
The Na(+)-K(+) pump is an essential heterodimeric membrane protein, which maintains electrochemical gradients for Na(+) and K(+) across cell membranes in all tissues. We have identified glutathionylation, a reversible posttranslational redox modification, of the Na(+)-K(+) pump's β1 subunit as a regulatory mechanism of pump activity. Oxidative inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+) pump by angiotensin II- and β1-adrenergic receptor-coupled signaling via NADPH oxidase activation demonstrates the relevance of this regulatory mechanism in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. This has implications for dysregulation of intracellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) as well as increased oxidative stress in heart failure, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion, and regulation of vascular tone under conditions of elevated oxidative stress. Treatment strategies that are able to reverse this oxidative inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+) pump have the potential for cardiovascular-protective effects.

Abstract
In cardiac muscle, the sarcolemmal sodium/potassium ATPase is the principal quantitative means of active transport at the myocyte cell surface, and its activity is essential for maintaining the trans-sarcolemmal sodium gradient that drives ion exchange and transport processes that are critical for cardiac function. The 72-residue phosphoprotein phospholemman regulates the sodium pump in the heart: unphosphorylated phospholemman inhibits the pump, and phospholemman phosphorylation increases pump activity. Phospholemman is subject to a remarkable plethora of post-translational modifications for such a small protein: the combination of three phosphorylation sites, two palmitoylation sites, and one glutathionylation site means that phospholemman integrates multiple signaling events to control the cardiac sodium pump. Since misregulation of cytosolic sodium contributes to contractile and metabolic dysfunction during cardiac failure, a complete understanding of the mechanisms that control the cardiac sodium pump is vital. This review explores our current understanding of these mechanisms.

Abstract
Progesterone and its polar metabolite(s) trigger the meiotic divisions in the amphibian oocyte through a non-genomic signaling system at the plasma membrane. Published site-directed mutagenesis studies of ouabain binding and progesterone-ouabain competition studies indicate that progesterone binds to a 23 amino acid extracellular loop of the plasma membrane α-subunit of Na/K-ATPase. Integral membrane proteins such as caveolins are reported to form Na/K-ATPase-peptide complexes essential for signal transduction. We have characterized the progesterone-induced Na/K-ATPase-caveolin (CAV-1)-steroid 5α-reductase interactions initiating the meiotic divisions. Peptide sequence analysis algorithms indicate that CAV-1 contains two plasma membrane spanning helices, separated by as few as 1-2 amino acid residues at the cell surface. The CAV-1 scaffolding domain, reported to interact with CAV-1 binding (CB) motifs in signaling proteins, overlaps transmembrane (TM) helix 1. The α-subunit of Na/K-ATPase (10 TM helices) contains double CB motifs within TM-1 and TM-10. Steroid 5α-reductase (6 TM helices), an initial step in polar steroid formation, contains CB motifs overlapping TM-1 and TM-6. Computer analysis predicts that interaction between antipathic strands may bring CB motifs and scaffolding domains into close proximity, initiating allostearic changes. Progesterone binding to the α-subunit may thus facilitate CB motif:CAV-1 interaction, which in turn induces helix-helix interaction and generates both a signaling cascade and formation of polar steroids.

Abstract
Since their first discovery as potential anti-cancer drugs decades ago, there is increasing evidence that digitalis-like compounds (DLC) have anti-tumor effects. Less is known about endogenous DLC (EDLC) metabolism and regulation. As stress hormones synthesized in and secreted from the adrenal gland, they likely take part in the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In a previous study, we revealed reduced EDLC concentrations in plasma and organs from immune-compromised animals and proposed that a similar situation of a deregulated HPA axis with "adrenal EDLF exhaustion" may contribute to tumorigenesis in chronic stress situations. Here, we put forward the hypothesis that a lowered EDLC response threshold of tumor cells as compared with normal cells increases the risk of tumorigenesis, especially in those individuals with reduced EDLC plasma concentrations after chronic stress exposure. We will evaluate this hypothesis by (a) summarizing the effects of different DLC concentrations on tumor as compared with normal cells and (b) reviewing some essential differences in the Na/K-ATPase of tumor as compared with normal cells (isoform pattern, pump activity, mutations of other signalosome receptors). We will conclude that (1) tumor cells, indeed, seem to have their individual "physiologic" EDLC response range that already starts at pmolar levels and (2) that individuals with markedly reduced (pmolar) EDLC plasma levels are predisposed to cancer because these EDLC concentrations will predominantly stimulate the proliferation of tumor cells. Finally, we will summarize preliminary results from our department supporting this hypothesis.

Abstract
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), a rare leukodystrophy characterized by macrocephaly, subcortical fluid cysts and myelin vacuolation, has been linked to mutations in the MLC1 gene. This gene encodes a membrane protein that is highly expressed in astrocytes. Based on MLC pathological features, it was proposed that astrocyte-mediated defects in ion and fluid homeostasis could account for the alterations observed in MLC-affected brains. However, the role of MLC1 and the effects of pathological mutations on astrocyte osmoregulatory functions have still to be demonstrated. Using human astrocytoma cells stably overexpressing wild-type MLC1 or three known MLC-associated pathological mutations, we investigated MLC1 involvement in astrocyte reaction to osmotic changes using biochemical, dynamic video imaging and immunofluorescence techniques. We have found that MLC1 overexpressed in astrocytoma cells is mainly localized in the plasma membrane, is part of the Na,K-ATPase-associated molecular complex that includes the potassium channel Kir4.1, syntrophin and aquaporin-4 and functionally interacts with the calcium permeable channel TRPV4 (transient receptor potential vanilloid-4 cation channel) which mediates swelling-induced cytosolic calcium increase and volume recovery in response to hyposmosis. Pathological MLC mutations cause changes in MLC1 expression and intracellular localization as well as in the astrocyte response to osmotic changes by altering MLC1 molecular interactions with the Na,K-ATPase molecular complex and abolishing the increase in calcium influx induced by hyposmosis and treatment with the TRPV4 agonist 4αPDD. These data demonstrate, for the first time, that MLC1 plays a role in astrocyte osmo-homeostasis and that defects in intracellular calcium dynamics may contribute to MLC pathogenesis.

Abstract
![]()
To evaluate previously proposed functions of renal caveolar
Na+/K+-ATPase, we modified the standard procedures
for the preparation of the purified membrane-bound kidney enzyme,
separated the caveolar and noncaveolar pools, and compared their properties.
While the subunits of Na+/K+-ATPase (α,β,γ)
constituted most of the protein content of the noncaveolar pool, the
caveolar pool also contained caveolins and major caveolar proteins
annexin-2 tetramer and E-cadherin. Ouabain-sensitive Na+/K+-ATPase activities of the two pools had similar properties
and equal molar activities, indicating that the caveolar enzyme retains
its ion transport function and does not contain nonpumping enzyme.
As minor constituents, both caveolar and noncaveolar pools also contained
Src, EGFR, PI3K, and several other proteins known to be involved in
stimulous-induced signaling by Na+/K+-ATPase,
indicating that signaling function is not limited to the caveolar
pool. Endogenous Src was active in both pools but was not further
activated by ouabain, calling into question direct interaction of
Src with native Na+/K+-ATPase. Chemical cross-linking,
co-immunoprecipitation, and immunodetection studies showed that in
the caveolar pool, caveolin-1 oligomers, annexin-2 tetramers, and
oligomers of the α,β,γ-protomers of Na+/K+-ATPase form a large multiprotein complex. In conjunction
with known roles of E-cadherin and the β-subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase in cell adhesion and noted intercellular β,β-contacts
within the structure of Na+/K+-ATPase, our findings
suggest that interacting caveolar Na+/K+-ATPases
located at renal adherens junctions maintain contact of two adjacent
cells, conduct essential ion pumping, and are capable of locus-specific
signaling in junctional cells.

Abstract
Reminiscent of phosphorylation, cellular signaling can induce reversible forms of oxidative modification of proteins with an impact on their function. Redox signaling can be coupled to cell membrane receptors for hormones and be a physiologic means of regulating protein function, whereas pathologic increases in oxidative stress may induce disease processes. Here we review the role of reversible oxidative modification of proteins in the regulation of their function with particular emphasis on the cardiac Na(+)-K(+) pump. We describe how protein-kinase-dependent activation of redox signaling, mediated by angiotensin receptors and β adrenergic receptors, induces glutathionylation of an identified cysteine residue in the β(1) subunit of the α/β pump heterodimer; and we discuss how this may link neurohormonal abnormalities, increased oxidative stress, and cardiac myocyte Na(+) dysregulation and heart failure with important implications for treatment.

Abstract
Proper folding of the Na,K-ATPase β subunits followed by assembly with the α subunits is necessary for their export from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here we examine roles of the ER lectin chaperone, calnexin, and non-lectin chaperone, BiP, in folding and quality control of the β(1) and β(2) subunits in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. Short term prevention of glycan-calnexin interactions by castanospermine slightly increases ER retention of β(1), suggesting minor involvement of calnexin in subunit folding. However, both prolonged incubation with castanospermine and removal of N-glycosylation sites do not affect the α(1)-assembly or trafficking of β(1) but increase the amount of the β(1)-bound BiP, showing that BiP can compensate for calnexin in assisting β(1) folding. In contrast to β(1), prevention of either N-glycosylation or glycan-calnexin interactions abolishes the α(1)-assembly and export of β(2) from the ER despite increased β(2)-BiP binding. Mutations in the α(1)-interacting regions of β(1) and β(2) subunits impair α(1) assembly but do not affect folding of the β subunits tested by their sensitivity to trypsin. At the same time, these mutations increase the amount of β-bound BiP but not of β-bound calnexin and increase ER retention of both β-isoforms. BiP, therefore, prevents the ER export of folded but α(1)-unassembled β subunits. These α(1)-unassembled β subunits are degraded faster than α(1)-bound β subunits, preventing ER overload. In conclusion, folding of the β(1) and β(2) subunits is assisted predominantly by BiP and calnexin, respectively. Folded β(1) and β(2) either assemble with α(1) or bind BiP. The α(1)-bound β subunits traffic to the Golgi, whereas BiP-bound β subunits are retained and degraded in the ER.

Abstract
BACKGROUND inhibition of L-type Ca(2+) current contributes to negative inotropy of β(3) adrenergic receptor (β(3) AR) activation, but effects on other determinants of excitation-contraction coupling are not known. Of these, the Na(+)-K(+) pump is of particular interest because of adverse effects attributed to high cardiac myocyte Na(+) levels and upregulation of the β(3) AR in heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS we voltage clamped rabbit ventricular myocytes and identified electrogenic Na(+)-K(+) pump current (I(p)) as the shift in holding current induced by ouabain. The synthetic β(3) AR agonists BRL37344 and CL316,243 and the natural agonist norepinephrine increased I(p). Pump stimulation was insensitive to the β(1)/β(2) AR antagonist nadolol and the protein kinase A inhibitor H-89 but sensitive to the β(3) AR antagonist L-748,337. Blockade of nitric oxide synthase abolished pump stimulation and an increase in fluorescence of myocytes loaded with a nitric oxide-sensitive dye. Exposure of myocytes to β(3) AR agonists decreased β(1) Na(+)-K(+) pump subunit glutathionylation, an oxidative modification that causes pump inhibition. The in vivo relevance of this was indicated by an increase in myocardial β(1) pump subunit glutathionylation with elimination of β(3) AR-mediated signaling in β(3) AR(-/-) mice. The in vivo effect of BRL37344 on contractility of the nonfailing and failing heart in sheep was consistent with a beneficial effect of Na(+)-K(+) pump stimulation in heart failure. CONCLUSIONS the β(3) AR mediates decreased β(1) subunit glutathionylation and Na(+)-K(+) pump stimulation in the heart. Upregulation of the receptor in heart failure may be a beneficial mechanism that facilitates the export of excess Na(+).

Abstract
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and the Na,K-ATPase functionally interact in skeletal muscle (Krivoi, I. I., Drabkina, T. M., Kravtsova, V. V., Vasiliev, A. N., Eaton, M. J., Skatchkov, S. N., and Mandel, F. (2006) Pflugers Arch. 452, 756-765; Krivoi, I., Vasiliev, A., Kravtsova, V., Dobretsov, M., and Mandel, F. (2003) Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 986, 639-641). In this interaction, the specific binding of nanomolar concentrations of nicotinic agonists to the nAChR stimulates electrogenic transport by the Na,K-ATPase alpha2 isozyme, causing membrane hyperpolarization. This study examines the molecular nature and membrane localization of this interaction. Stimulation of Na,K-ATPase activity by the nAChR does not require ion flow through open nAChRs. It can be induced by nAChR desensitization alone, in the absence of nicotinic agonist, and saturates when the nAChR is fully desensitized. It is enhanced by noncompetitive blockers of the nAChR (proadifen, QX-222), which promote non-conducting or desensitized states; and retarded by tetracaine, which stabilizes the resting nAChR conformation. The interaction operates at the neuromuscular junction as well as on extrajunctional sarcolemma. The Na,K-ATPase alpha2 isozyme is enriched at the postsynaptic neuromuscular junction and co-localizes with nAChRs. The nAChR and Na,K-ATPase alpha subunits specifically coimmunoprecipitate with each other, phospholemman, and caveolin-3. In a purified membrane preparation from Torpedo californica enriched in nAChRs and the Na,K-ATPase, a ouabain-induced conformational change of the Na,K-ATPase enhances a conformational transition of the nAChR to a desensitized state. These results suggest a mechanism by which the nAChR in a desensitized state with high apparent affinity for agonist interacts with the Na,K-ATPase to stimulate active transport. The interaction utilizes a membrane-delimited complex involving protein-protein interactions, either directly or through additional protein partners. This interaction is expected to enhance neuromuscular transmission and muscle excitation.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase is not only an ion pump, but also a membrane receptor that confers the ligand-like effects of cardiotonic steroids (CTS) such as ouabain on protein kinases and cell growth. Because CTS have been implicated in cardiac fibrosis, this study examined the role of caveolae in the regulation of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase function and CTS signaling in cardiac fibroblasts. In cardiac fibroblasts prepared from wild-type and caveolin-1 knockout [Cav-1(-/-)] mice, we found that the absence of caveolin-1 did not affect total cellular amount or surface expression of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha1 subunit. However, it did increase ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb(+) uptake. While knockout of caveolin-1 increased basal activities of Src and ERK1/2, it abolished the activation of these kinases induced by ouabain but not angiotensin II. Finally, ouabain stimulated collagen synthesis and cell proliferation in wild type but not Cav-1(-/-) cardiac fibroblasts. Thus, we conclude that caveolae are important for regulating both pumping and signal transducing functions of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase. While depletion of caveolae increases the pumping function of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, it suppresses CTS-induced signal transduction, growth, and collagen production in cardiac fibroblasts.

Abstract
Abstract Potassium (K(+)) displacement in skeletal muscle may be an important factor in the development of muscle fatigue during intense exercise. It has been shown in vitro that an increase in the extracellular K(+) concentration ([K(+)](e)) to values higher than approx. 10 mm significantly reduce force development in unfatigued skeletal muscle. Several in vivo studies have shown that [K(+)](e) increases progressively with increasing work intensity, reaching values higher than 10 mm. This increase in [K(+)](e) is expected to be even higher in the transverse (T)-tubules than the concentration reached in the interstitium. Besides the voltage-sensitive K(+) (K(v)) channels that generate the action potential (AP) it is suggested that the big-conductance Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) (K(Ca)1.1) channel contributes significantly to the K(+) release into the T-tubules. Also the ATP-dependent K(+) (K(ATP)) channel participates, but is suggested primarily to participate in K(+) release to the interstitium. Because there is restricted diffusion of K(+) to the interstitium, K(+) released to the T-tubules during AP propagation will be removed primarily by reuptake mediated by transport proteins located in the T-tubule membrane. The most important protein that mediates K(+) reuptake in the T-tubules is the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(2) dimers, but a significant contribution of the strong inward rectifier K(+) (Kir2.1) channel is also suggested. The Na(+), K(+), 2Cl(-) 1 (NKCC1) cotransporter also participates in K(+) reuptake but probably mainly from the interstitium. The relative content of the different K(+)-transporting proteins differs in oxidative and glycolytic muscles, and might explain the different [K(+)](e) tolerance observed.

Abstract
The level of the heterodimeric Na,K-ATPase is tightly controlled in epithelia to maintain appropriate transport function. The catalytic Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit is not able to exit the ER or catalyze ion transport unless assembled with the beta subunit. However, requirements for the ER exit of the Na,K-ATPase beta subunit that plays an additional, ion-transport-independent, role in intercellular adhesion are not clear. Exogenous beta(1) or beta(2) subunits expressed in renal MDCK cells replace endogenous beta(1) subunits in the alpha-beta complexes in the ER, resulting in a decrease in the amount of the alpha(1)-bound endogenous beta(1) subunits by 47-61% with no change in the amount of alpha(1) subunits. Disruption of the alpha(1)-beta association by mutations in defined alpha(1)-interacting regions of either beta(1) or beta(2) subunits results in the ER retention and rapid degradation of unassembled mutants. Hence, the ER quality control system allows export only of assembled alpha-beta complexes to the Golgi, thereby maintaining an equimolar ratio of alpha and beta subunits in the plasma membrane, whereas the number of alpha(1) subunits in the ER determines the amount of the alpha-beta complexes.

Abstract
Large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa) encoded by the Slo1 gene play a role in the physiological regulation of many cell types. Here, we show that the beta1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase (NKbeta1) interacts with the cytoplasmic COOH-terminal region of Slo1 proteins. Reduced expression of endogenous NKbeta1 markedly inhibits evoked BKCa currents with no apparent effect on their gating. In addition, NKbeta1 down-regulated cells show decreased density of Slo1 subunits on the cell surface.

Abstract
Na,K-ATPase is composed of two essential alpha- and beta-subunits, both of which have multiple isoforms. Evidence indicates that the Na,K-ATPase enzymatic activity as well as its alpha(1), alpha(3) and beta(1) isoforms are reduced in the failing human heart. The catalytic alpha-subunit is the receptor for cardiac glycosides such as digitalis, used for the treatment of congestive heart failure. The role of the Na,K-ATPase beta(1)-subunit (Na,K-beta(1)) in cardiac function is not known. We used Cre/loxP technology to inactivate the Na,K-beta(1) gene exclusively in the ventricular cardiomyocytes. Animals with homozygous Na,K-beta(1) gene excision were born at the expected Mendelian ratio, grew into adulthood, and appeared to be healthy until 10 months of age. At 13-14 months, these mice had 13% higher heart/body weight ratios, and reduced contractility as revealed by echocardiography compared to their wild-type (WT) littermates. Pressure overload by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in younger mice, resulted in compensated hypertrophy in WT mice, but decompensation in the Na,K-beta(1) KO mice. The young KO survivors of TAC exhibited decreased contractile function and mimicked the effects of the Na,K-beta(1) KO in older mice. Further, we show that intact hearts of Na,K-beta(1) KO anesthetized mice as well as isolated cardiomyocytes were insensitive to ouabain-induced positive inotropy. This insensitivity was associated with a reduction in NCX1, one of the proteins involved in regulating cardiac contractility. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that Na,K-beta(1) plays an essential role in regulating cardiac contractility and that its loss is associated with significant pathophysiology of the heart.

Abstract
The sarcolemmal Na+-K+ pump, pivotal in cardiac myocyte function, is inhibited by angiotensin II (ANG II). Since ANG II activates NADPH oxidase, we tested the hypothesis that NADPH oxidase mediates the pump inhibition. Exposure to 100 nmol/l ANG II increased superoxide-sensitive fluorescence of isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes. The increase was abolished by pegylated superoxide dismutase (SOD), by the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin, and by myristolated inhibitory peptide to ε-protein kinase C (εPKC), previously implicated in ANG II-induced Na+-K+ pump inhibition. A role for εPKC was also supported by an ANG II-induced increase in coimmunoprecipitation of εPKC with the receptor for the activated kinase and with the cytosolic p47 phox subunit of NADPH oxidase. ANG II decreased electrogenic Na+-K+ pump current in voltage-clamped myocytes. The decrease was abolished by SOD, by the gp91ds inhibitory peptide that blocks assembly and activation of NADPH oxidase, and by εPKC inhibitory peptide. Since colocalization should facilitate NADPH oxidase-dependent regulation of the Na+-K+ pump, we examined whether there is physical association between the pump subunits and NADPH oxidase. The α1-subunit coimmunoprecipitated with caveolin 3 and with membrane-associated p22 phox and cytosolic p47 phox NADPH oxidase subunits at baseline. ANG II had no effect on α1/caveolin 3 or α1/p22 phox interaction, but it increased α1/p47 phox coimmunoprecipitation. We conclude that ANG II inhibits the Na+-K+ pump via PKC-dependent NADPH oxidase activation.

Abstract
AIMS ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels in the heart are critical regulators of cellular excitability and action potentials during ischaemia. However, little is known about subcellular localization of these channels and their regulation. The present study was designed to explore the potential role of caveolae in the regulation of K(ATP) channels in cardiac ventricular myocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS Both adult and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were used. Subcellular fractionation by density gradient centrifugation, western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy were employed in combination with whole-cell voltage clamp recordings and siRNA gene silencing. We detected that the majority of K(ATP) channels on the plasma membrane of cardiac myocytes were localized in caveolin-3-enriched microdomains by cell fractionation and ultracentrifugation followed by western blotting. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy revealed extensive colocalization of K(ATP) channel pore-forming subunit Kir6.2 and caveolin-3 along the plasma membrane. Co-immunoprecipitation of cardiac myocytes showed significant association of Kir6.2, adenosine A(1) receptors, and caveolin-3. Furthermore, whole-cell voltage clamp studies suggested that adenosine A(1) receptor-mediated activation of K(ATP) channels was largely eliminated by disrupting caveolae with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin or by small interfering RNA, whereas pinacidil-induced K(ATP) activation was not altered. CONCLUSION We demonstrate that K(ATP) channels are localized to caveolin-enriched microdomains. This microdomain association is essential for adenosine receptor-mediated regulation of K(ATP) channels in cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
Here, we show that the Na/K-ATPase interacts with caveolin-1 (Cav1) and regulates Cav1 trafficking. Graded knockdown of Na/K-ATPase decreases the plasma membrane pool of Cav1, which results in a significant reduction in the number of caveolae on the cell surface. These effects are independent of the pumping function of Na/K-ATPase, and instead depend on interaction between Na/K-ATPase and Cav1 mediated by an N-terminal caveolin-binding motif within the ATPase α1 subunit. Moreover, knockdown of the Na/K-ATPase increases basal levels of active Src and stimulates endocytosis of Cav1 from the plasma membrane. Microtubule-dependent long-range directional trafficking in Na/K-ATPase–depleted cells results in perinuclear accumulation of Cav1-positive vesicles. Finally, Na/K-ATPase knockdown has no effect on processing or exit of Cav1 from the Golgi. Thus, the Na/K-ATPase regulates Cav1 endocytic trafficking and stabilizes the Cav1 plasma membrane pool.

Abstract
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders that affect animals and humans. There is a need to gain understanding of prion disease pathogenesis and to develop diagnostic assays to detect prion diseases prior to the onset of clinical symptoms. The goal of this study was to identify genes that show altered expression early in the disease process in the spleen and brain of prion disease-infected mice. Using Affymetrix microarrays, we identified 67 genes that showed increased expression in the brains of prion disease-infected mice prior to the onset of clinical symptoms. These genes function in many cellular processes including immunity, the endosome/lysosome system, hormone activity, and the cytoskeleton. We confirmed a subset of these gene expression alterations using other methods and determined the time course in which these changes occur. We also identified 14 genes showing altered expression prior to the onset of clinical symptoms in spleens of prion disease infected mice. Interestingly, four genes, Atp1b1, Gh, Anp32a, and Grn, were altered at the very early time of 46 days post-infection. These gene expression alterations provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying prion disease pathogenesis and may serve as surrogate markers for the early detection and diagnosis of prion disease.

Abstract
Little is known about the postinternalization trafficking of surface-expressed voltage-gated potassium channels. Here, for the first time, we investigate into which of four major trafficking pathways a voltage-gated potassium channel is targeted after internalization. In both a cardiac myoblast cell line and in HEK293 cells, channels were found to internalize and to recycle quickly. Upon internalization, Kv1.5 rapidly associated with Rab5-and Rab4-positive endosomes, suggesting that the channel is internalized via a Rab5-dependent pathway and rapidly targeted for recycling to the plasma membrane. Nevertheless, as indicated by colocalization with Rab7, a fraction of the channels are targeted for degradation. Recycling through perinuclear endosomes is limited; colocalization with Rab11 was evident only after 24 h postsurface labelling. Expression of dominant negative (DN) Rab constructs significantly increased Kv1.5 functional expression. In the myoblast line, Rab5DN increased Kv1.5 current densities to 1305 +/- 213 pA pF(-1) from control 675 +/- 81.6 pA pF(-1). Rab4DN similarly increased Kv1.5 currents to 1382 +/- 155 pA pF(-1) from the control 522 +/- 82.7 pA pF(-1) at +80 mV. Expression of the Rab7DN increased Kv1.5 currents 2.5-fold in HEK293 cells but had no significant effect in H9c2 myoblasts, and, unlike the other Rab GTPases tested, over-expression of wild-type Rab7 decreased Kv1.5 currents in the myoblast line. Densities fell to 573 +/- 96.3 pA pF(-1) from the control 869 +/- 135.5 pA pF(-1). The Rab11DN was slow to affect Kv1.5 currents but had comparable effects to other dominant negative constructs after 48 h. With the exception of Rab11DN and nocodazole, the effects of interference with microtubule-dependent trafficking by nocodazole or p50 overexpression were not additive with the Rab dominant negatives. The Rab GTPases thus constitute dynamic targets by which cells may modulate Kv1.5 functional expression.

Abstract
Employing detergent-free sucrose-density gradient fractionation method we isolated cholesterol-rich lighter membrane fractions containing approximately 10% of protein, approximately 30% of cholesterol in membranes of ventricular myocardium. Cholesterol-rich lighter membrane fractions contain >70% of Na, K-ATPase and caveolins 1 and 3 and <10% of beta-actin. Treatment of hypothyroid rats with T(3) increased the relative abundance of both alpha1 and beta1 Na, K-ATPase subunits in total membranes by 4- to 5-fold (with no change in caveolin-3), and resulted in 1.9-fold increase in enzyme activity. T(3)-induced Na, K-ATPase subunits were preferentially distributed to the lighter fractions (#s 4, 5 and 6); and increased abundance of alpha1 and beta1 were 34-70% and 43-68%, respectively. We conclude that the activity of Na, K-ATPase is not uniform in cardiac membranes, and while a significant amount of Na, K-ATPase is present in cardiac cholesterol-rich membrane fractions, the intrinsic activity is significantly less than the enzyme present in relatively cholesterol-poor membranes.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) and their receptors (NPRs) are expressed in the heart, but their effects on myocyte function are poorly understood. Because NPRs are coupled to synthesis of cGMP, an activator of the sarcolemmal Na+-K+ pump, we examined whether atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) regulates the pump. We voltage clamped rabbit ventricular myocytes and identified electrogenic Na+-K+ pump current (arising from the 3:2 Na+:K+ exchange and normalized for membrane capacitance) as the shift in membrane current induced by 100 μmol/l ouabain. Ten nanomoles per liter ANP stimulated the Na+-K+ pump when the intracellular compartment was perfused with pipette solutions containing 10 mmol/l Na+ but had no effect when the pump was at near maximal activation with 80 mmol/l Na+ in the pipette solution. Stimulation was abolished by inhibition of cGMP-activated protein kinase with KT-5823, nitric oxide (NO)-activated guanylyl cyclase with 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), or NO synthase with NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME). Since synthesis of cGMP by NPR-A and NPR-B is not NO dependent or ODQ sensitive, we exposed myocytes to AP-811, a highly selective ligand for the NPR-C “clearance” receptor. It abolished ANP-induced pump stimulation. Conversely, the selective NPR-C agonist ANP(4-23) reproduced stimulation. The stimulation was blocked by l-NAME. To examine NO production in response to ANP(4-23), we loaded myocytes with the NO-sensitive fluorescent dye diacetylated diaminofluorescein-2 and examined them by confocal microscopy. ANP(4-23) induced a significant increase in fluorescence, which was abolished by l-NAME. We conclude that NPs stimulate the Na+-K+ pump via an NPR-C and NO-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Caveolae, a subset of membrane (lipid) rafts, are flask-like invaginations of the plasma membrane that contain caveolin proteins, which serve as organizing centers for cellular signal transduction. Caveolins (-1, -2, and -3) have cytoplasmic N and C termini, palmitolylation sites, and a scaffolding domain that facilitates interaction and organization of signaling molecules so as to help provide coordinated and efficient signal transduction. Such signaling components include upstream entities (e.g., G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), receptor tyrosine kinases, and steroid hormone receptors) and downstream components (e.g., heterotrimeric and low-molecular-weight G proteins, effector enzymes, and ion channels). Diseases associated with aberrant signaling may result in altered localization or expression of signaling proteins in caveolae. Caveolin-knockout mice have numerous abnormalities, some of which may reflect the impact of total body knockout throughout the life span. This review provides a general overview of caveolins and caveolae, signaling molecules that localize to caveolae, the role of caveolae/caveolin in cardiac and pulmonary pathophysiology, pharmacologic implications of caveolar localization of signaling molecules, and the possibility that caveolae might serve as a therapeutic target.
