Abstract
Blastocyst hatching is crucial for implantation of mammalian embryos and a common failure point during in vitro fertilization (IVF). We have little knowledge of the mechanical basis whereby an embryo hatches out of the zona pellucida. We have developed a technique to measure blastocyst pressure, allowing us to quantify physiological parameters and providing additional measures of efficiency in IVF optimization. We find that mechanical stretching of the zona by the blastocyst is essential for efficient hatching. Cryopreservation and thawing of embryos is common during IVF. Our technique reveals significant differences in microphysiology between fresh and thawed embryos. Our experimental and associated mathematical techniques are also applicable to other biological systems involving cavity formation, providing an approach for measuring forces in diverse contexts. Mammalian embryos are surrounded by an acellular shell, the zona pellucida. Hatching out of the zona is crucial for implantation and continued development of the embryo. Clinically, problems in hatching can contribute to failure in assisted reproductive intervention. Although hatching is fundamentally a mechanical process, due to limitations in methodology most studies focus on its biochemical properties. To understand the role of mechanical forces in hatching, we developed a hydrogel deformation-based method and analytical approach for measuring pressure in cyst-like tissues. Using this approach, we found that, in cultured blastocysts, pressure increased linearly, with intermittent falls. Inhibition of Na/K-ATPase led to a dosage-dependent reduction in blastocyst cavity pressure, consistent with its requirement for cavity formation. Reducing blastocyst pressure reduced the probability of hatching, highlighting the importance of mechanical forces in hatching. These measurements allowed us to infer details of microphysiology such as osmolarity, ion and water transport kinetics across the trophectoderm, and zona stiffness, allowing us to model the embryo as a thin-shell pressure vessel. We applied this technique to test whether cryopreservation, a process commonly used in assisted reproductive technology (ART), leads to alteration of the embryo and found that thawed embryos generated significantly lower pressure than fresh embryos, a previously unknown effect of cryopreservation. We show that reduced pressure is linked to delayed hatching. Our approach can be used to optimize in vitro fertilization (IVF) using precise measurement of embryo microphysiology. It is also applicable to other biological systems involving cavity formation, providing an approach for measuring forces in diverse contexts.

[PMID: 27650914 PMCID: PMC5077641 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2016.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2016] [Revised: 08/16/2016] [Accepted: 09/09/2016] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Bone resorption by osteoclasts occurs through the creation of a sealed extracellular compartment (ECC), or pit, adjacent to the bone that is subsequently acidified through a complex biological process. The low pH of the pit dissolves the bone mineral and activates acid proteases that further break down the bone matrix. There are many ion channels, transporters, and soluble proteins involved in osteoclast mediated resorption, and in the past few years, there has been an increased understanding of the identity and properties of some key proteins such as the ClC-7 Cl-/H+ antiporter and the HV1 proton channel. Here we present a detailed mathematical model of osteoclast acidification that includes the influence of many of the key regulatory proteins. The primary enzyme responsible for acidification is the vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), which pumps protons from the cytoplasm into the pit. Unlike the acidification of small lysosomes, the pit is so large that protons become depleted from the cytoplasm. Hence, proton buffering and production in the cytoplasm by carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) is potentially important for proper acidification. We employ an ordinary differential equations (ODE)-based model that accounts for the changes in ionic species in the cytoplasm and the resorptive pit. Additionally, our model tracks ionic flow between the cytoplasm and the extracellular solution surrounding the cell. Whenever possible, the properties of individual channels and transporters are calibrated based on electrophysiological measurements, and physical properties of the cell, such as buffering capacity, surface areas, and volumes, are estimated based on available data. Our model reproduces many of the experimental findings regarding the role of key proteins in the acidification process, and it allows us to estimate, among other things, number of active pumps, protons moved, and the influence of particular mutations implicated in disease.

Abstract
ClC-2 chloride channel is present in the brain and some transporting epithelia where its function is poorly understood. We have now demonstrated that the surface channels are rapidly internalised and approximately the 70% of the surface membrane protein recycles after 4- to 8-min internalisation. Endocytosis of ClC-2 was dependent upon tyrosine 179 located within an endocytic motif. Rapid recycling accompanied by an even faster internalisation could account for the abundant presence of ClC-2 in intracellular membranous structures. At least a proportion of ClC-2 resides in lipid rafts. Use of beta-cyclodextrin led to an increase in cell surface channel, but, surprisingly, a decrease in functionally active channels. We suggest that ClC-2 requires residing in beta-cyclodextrin sensitive clusters with other molecules in order to remain active. Regulation of ClC-2 trafficking to and within the membrane could be a means of modulating its activity.

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
The plasma membrane Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger is a bi-directional electrogenic (3Na(+):1Ca(2+)) and voltage-sensitive ion transport mechanism, which is mainly responsible for Ca(2+)-extrusion. The Na(+)-gradient, required for normal mode operation, is created by the Na(+)-pump, which is also electrogenic (3Na(+):2K(+)) and voltage-sensitive. The Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger operational modes are very similar to those of the Na(+)-pump, except that the uncoupled flux (Na(+)-influx or -efflux?) is missing. The reversal potential of the exchanger is around -40 mV; therefore, during the upstroke of the AP it is probably transiently activated, leading to Ca(2+)-influx. The Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange is regulated by transported and non-transported external and internal cations, and shows ATP(i)-, pH- and temperature-dependence. The main problem in determining the role of Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange in excitation-secretion/contraction coupling is the lack of specific (mode-selective) blockers. During recent years, evidence has been accumulated for co-localisation of the Na(+)-pump, and the Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchanger and their possible functional interaction in the "restricted" or "fuzzy space." In cardiac failure, the Na(+)-pump is down-regulated, while the exchanger is up-regulated. If the exchanger is working in normal mode (Ca(2+)-extrusion) during most of the cardiac cycle, upregulation of the exchanger may result in SR Ca(2+)-store depletion and further impairment in contractility. If so, a normal mode selective Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange inhibitor would be useful therapy for decompensation, and unlike CGs would not increase internal Na(+). In peripheral sympathetic nerves, pre-synaptic alpha(2)-receptors may regulate not only the VSCCs but possibly the reverse Na(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange as well.

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
Glycoside-induced cardiac inotropy has traditionally been attributed to direct Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase inhibition, causing increased intracellular [Na(+)] and consequent Ca(2+) gain via the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX). However, recent studies suggested alternative mechanisms of glycoside-induced inotropy: (1) direct activation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release channels (ryanodine receptors; RyRs); (2) increased Ca(2+) selectivity of Na(+) channels (slip-mode conductance); and (3) other signal transduction pathways. None of these proposed mechanisms requires NCX or an altered [Na(+)] gradient. Here we tested the ability of ouabain (OUA, 3 microm), digoxin (DIG, 20 microm) or acetylstrophanthidin (ACS, 4 microm) to alter Ca(2+) transients in completely Na(+)-free conditions in intact ferret and cat ventricular myocytes. We also tested whether OUA directly activates RyRs in permeabilized cat myocytes (measuring Ca(2+) sparks by confocal microscopy). In intact ferret myocytes (stimulated at 0.2 Hz), DIG and ACS enhanced Ca(2+) transients and cell shortening during twitches, as expected. However, prior depletion of [Na(+)](i) (in Na(+)-free, Ca(2+)-free solution) and in Na(+)-free solution (replaced by Li(+)) the inotropic effects of DIG and ACS were completely prevented. In voltage-clamped cat myocytes, OUA increased Ca(2+) transients by 48 +/- 4% but OUA had no effect in Na(+)-depleted cells (replaced by N-methyl-d-glucamine). In permeabilized cat myocytes, OUA did not change Ca(2+) spark frequency, amplitude or spatial spread (although spark duration was slightly prolonged). We conclude that the acute inotropic effects of DIG, ACS and OUA (and the effects on RyRs) depend on the presence of Na(+) and a functional NCX in ferret and cat myocytes (rather than alternate Na(+)-independent mechanisms).

Abstract
There is a positive association between diets rich in potassium, control of blood pressure, and prevention of stroke. Extracellular [K+] is regulated closely to maintain normal membrane excitability by the concerted regulatory responses of muscle and kidney. Although kidney is responsible for ultimately matching K+ output to K+ intake each day, muscle contains more than 90% of the body's K+ and can buffer changes in extracellular fluid [K+] by either acutely taking up extracellular fluid K+ or releasing intracellular fluid K+ from muscle. It long has been assumed that the changes in muscle K+ transport are a function of sodium pump (Na,K-adenosine triphosphatase [Na, K-ATPasel]) abundance, especially that of the alpha2 isoform, which predominates in skeletal muscle. To test the physiologic significance of changes in muscle Na,K-ATPase expression, we developed the K+ clamp, which measures insulin-stimulated cellular K+ uptake in vivo in the conscious rat. By using the K+ clamp we discovered that significant insulin resistance to cell K+ uptake occurs as follows: (1) early in K+ deprivation before a decrease in muscle sodium pump pool size, and (2) during glucocorticoid treatment, which increases muscle Na,K-ATPase alpha2 levels greater than 50%. We also discovered that adaptation of renal and extrarenal K+ handling to altered K+ balance often occurs without changes in plasma [K+], supporting a feedforward mechanism involving K+ sensing in the splanchnic bed and adjustment of K+ handling. These findings establish the advantage of combining molecular analyses of Na,K-ATPase expression and activity with systems analyses of cellular K+ uptake and excretion in vivo to reveal regulatory mechanisms operating to control K+ homeostasis.

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

Abstract
Treatment of avian myelomonocytic cells with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) results in an approximately two fold increase in levels of Na,K-ATPase beta 1 subunit mRNA and protein (both total and plasma membrane-associated). The changes in beta 1 subunit expression occur in the absence of a detectable increase in expression of any of the three alpha subunit isoforms or in Na,K-ATPase activity. The selective induction of the expression of the beta subunit in avian myelomonocytic cells by 1,25(OH)2D3 reveals a previously unobserved feature of the regulation of Na,K-ATPase expression, while the targeting of beta subunit polypeptides to the plasma membrane in the absence of a corresponding increase in active Na,K-ATPase suggests that, in these cells, transport of the beta subunit to the plasma membrane may be independent of its binding to the alpha subunit.

Abstract
Neuroregulators found at various brain sites are involved in controlling food intake, a behavior that occurs for many reasons. Different neuroregulators may affect different stimuli that impact eating behavior. For example, neuropeptide Y may initiate feeding for energy needs, opioid peptides may provide the rewarding aspects of eating, and corticotropin releasing factor may affect stress-induced eating. We know that the neural networks regulating feeding also impact other components of energy balance. Neuropeptide Y not only increases eating, it also decreases energy expenditure in brown fat and increases enzymatic activity associated with fat storage in white fat, resulting in a more obese animal. What the sites of action are of these neuroregulators and how they interact with regulators at other sites are of utmost importance. Different regions of the brain, together with the periphery, communicate via signals acting in coordinated fashion, which leads to the final outcome: eating less or more and expending less or more energy.

Abstract
To investigate the regulation of the Na,K-ATPase, we have studied the expression of the Na,K-ATPase polypeptides in several mammalian cell lines using the vaccinia virus/T7 RNA polymerase expression system. Infection of several fibroblast-like cell lines with viral recombinants containing the Na,K-ATPase alpha and beta isoforms, the glucose transporters, GLUT 1 and GLUT 4, or the capsid protein of the Sindbis virus all result in the production of the appropriate protein products. However, all epithelial cell lines tested fail to synthesize the Na,K-ATPase viral recombinants, yet they efficiently express the other virally directed polypeptides. While Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells infected with the Na,K-ATPase alpha1 or beta1 recombinant viruses produce both mRNAs, the messages are inefficiently translated. Furthermore, the RNA from infected MDCK cells does not direct the in vitro synthesis of the beta1 polypeptide, whereas the message from infected fibroblast-like BSC 40 cells is efficiently translated both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the synthesis of the H,K-ATPase alpha subunit is also limited in MDCK cells, although the H,K-ATPase beta subunit is efficiently expressed. Expression of chimeras constructed between the Na+ pump beta1 isoform and the H,K-ATPase beta subunit indicates that sequences in the 5' coding region of the beta1 message have an inhibitory effect; however, the stringent translational regulation of the beta1 isoform in MDCK cells requires the 5' and 3' regions of the coding sequence. The ability of the polarized cell lines to limit the synthesis of the Na+ pump polypeptides while expressing other vaccinia recombinants at high levels suggests that the polarized cells possess a stringent mechanism for the specific translational regulation of a select set of messages.

Abstract
Healthy northeastern Thais have a higher erythrocyte sodium concentration and a lower erythrocyte membrane Na,K-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity than central Thais. To elucidate whether the defect is hereditary or acquired, we studied plasma sodium and potassium and erythrocyte sodium, potassium, Na,K-ATPase activity, and ouabain-binding sites (OBS) in the following groups: healthy newborns of ethnic central Thais (group 1), healthy newborns of ethnic northeast Thais (group 2), healthy adults of central Thailand ethnicity who lived in the rural central region (group 3) or in Bangkok (group 4), healthy adults of northeast Thailand ethnicity who lived in the rural northeast region (group 5) or who migrated to work in Bangkok for at least 1 year (group 6). Erythrocyte Na was higher in group 2 than in group 1. Group 3 had lower erythrocyte Na,K-ATPase activity than group 4, and it was lower in group 5 than in group 6. Among all groups, group 5 had the highest erythrocyte Na (11.6 mmol/L,F < 0.0001) and the lowest Na,K-ATPase activity (63 mmol Pi/mg x h, F < 0.0001) and erythrocyte OBS (397 sites per cell, F < 0.05) than the other adult groups. There was a positive correlation between erythrocyte Na,K-ATPase and erythrocyte OBS (r = .416, P < .0001). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated a correlation between erythrocyte Na as a dependent variable and erythrocyte OBS, plasma potassium, erythrocyte potassium, and erythrocyte Na,K-ATPase (r = .517, P < .0001). The erythrocyte Na,K-ATPase/OBS ratio, an expression of Na,K-ATPase activity equalized for the number of Na,K-pump units, was lowest among rural adults of the central region (group 3) and the northeast region (group 5) (F < 0.0002). Our data suggest that rural dwellers in Thailand tend to have lower erythrocyte Na,K-ATPase activity than urban dwellers and that this is probably acquired after birth. It was more severe among those from the northeast versus the central region, and was less severe among those who migrated to an urban area. This defect in northeast rural dwellers was probably associated with low numbers of Na,K-pump units and a defect of the pump to express activity, whereas in central rural dwellers it was probably associated with the latter condition. We postulate that there might be circulating Na,K-pump inhibitors and metabolic disturbances that cause attenuation of Na,K-ATPase function and synthesis in the northeast Thailand rural population, and that such substances may have an environmental origin. There may be a relationship between these abnormalities and sudden unexpected deaths.

Abstract
A number of important themes emerge from our compartmental analyses of Na,K-ATPase biosynthesis in response to ionic stimuli. The ubiquitous alpha 1 beta 1 type sodium pump evolved to generate and maintain transmembrane Na+ and K+ gradients, and there are cell-type specific mechanisms of increasing synthesis and decreasing degradation to control surface expression of this important "housekeeping" enzyme. Expression of alpha 2 beta-type sodium pumps may have evolved in cells designated as K+ storehouses to facilitate maintenance of extracellular K+ in the presence of K+ restriction. Finally, the specialized distribution of Na,K-ATPase (and related E1-E2 type pumps) along the renal epithelia allows for monitoring and fine control of extracellular K+ and Na+ (volume). Many interesting questions remain to be answered, and we now have the probes and techniques needed to answer them.

Abstract
To investigate the functional role of the different Na+, K(+)-ATPase alpha (catalytic) subunit isoforms in neuronal cells, we used quantitative in situ hybridization with riboprobes specific for alpha 1, alpha 2, and alpha 3 isoforms to measure the level of alpha isoform-specific expression in the neuroendocrine cells of the supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular (PVN) nuclei of rat hypothalamus. A prolonged increase in electrical activity of these cells, achieved by 5 days of salt treatment, increased the amount of alpha 1 isoform mRNA in the SON and PVN by 50%. Levels of alpha 1 mRNA in other brain regions and levels of alpha 2 and alpha 3 mRNAs were not affected by salt treatment. We conclude that the alpha 1 isoform Na+, K(+)-ATPase may be specifically adapted to pump out Na+, which enters the cells through voltage-gated channels during neuronal depolarization.

Abstract
The role of PGE1 in regulating the activity of the Na+, K(+)-ATPase in Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells has been examined. PGE1 increased the initial rate of ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake by MDCK cells, a process that continued to occur over a 5-day period. The increase in the initial rate of ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake in MDCK cells treated with PGE1 could be explained by a 1.6-fold increase in the Vmax for ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake. The increase in the Vmax for ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake observed in MDCK cells under these conditions can be explained either by an increase in the number of active Na+ pumps, or by an increase in the efficiency of the Na+ pumps. Consistent with the former possibility is the observed increase in the number of ouabain binding sites, as well as the increase in Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in cell lysates obtained from MDCK monolayers treated with PGE1. The involvement of cyclic AMP in mediating these effects of PGE1 on the Na+, K(+)-ATPase in MDCK cells is supported by: (1) the observation of similar effects in 8-bromocyclic AMP treated MDCK monolayers, and (2) a dramatic reduction of the stimulatory effects of PGE1 and 8-bromocyclic AMP on the Vmax for ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake, and on the number of ouabain binding sites in dibutyryl cyclic AMP resistant clone 3 (DBr3) (which is defective in cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase activity). PGE1 independent MDCK monolayers exhibit both an increase in the Vmax for ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake and an increase in the number of ouabain binding sites in response to 8-bromocyclic AMP. Apparently, the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase defect in these PGE1 independent cells did not cause cellular cyclic AMP levels to be elevated to a sufficient extent to maximally increase the Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in these variant cells.

Abstract
Rat 6 fibroblast cell lines expressing wild-type chicken liver glycoprotein receptor (CHL) or chimeric receptors with alternate cytoplasmic tails were produced to study the role of the cytoplasmic tail in mediating receptor localization in coated pits and endocytosis of ligand. Cells expressing CHL or cells expressing a hybrid receptor that contains the cytoplasmic tail of the asialoglycoprotein receptor display high-efficiency endocytosis of N-acetylglucosamine-conjugated bovine serum albumin in experiments designed to measure an initial internalization step, as well as in studies of continuous uptake and degradation. Substitution of the cytoplasmic tail by the equivalent domain of rat Na,K-ATPase beta subunit or by a stretch of Xenopus laevis globin beta chain does not abolish endocytosis but decreases the endocytosis rate constant from 15%-16%/min to 2.4% and 6.5%/min, respectively. Electron microscopy was used to visualize the glycoprotein binding sites at the surface of Rat 6 cells transfected with the various receptors. The percentage of receptors found in coated areas ranged from 32% for CHL to 9% for the Na,K-ATPase hybrid, indicating that clustering in coated pits correlates with efficiency of endocytosis. We concluded that replacement of the CHL cytoplasmic tail with unrelated sequences does not prevent, but decreases to varying extents, coated-pit localization and endocytosis efficiency. The construct with NH2-terminal globin tail lacks a signal for high-efficiency localization in coated pits but nevertheless is directed to the pits by an alternative mechanism.

Abstract
Cultured HeLa cells display specific binding sites for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Studies with [125I]-(1-28)-rat ANP revealed the presence of a single class of high affinity binding sites on HeLa cells: The apparent dissociation constant (Kd) was 5 nM and the maximal number was 29,000 sites/cell as derived from Scatchard analysis. Furthermore, ANP elevates levels of cGMP in a dose dependent manner with an EC50 close to the Kd for [125I]ANP binding. ANP-mediated elevation of cellular cGMP leads to a significant reduction of bumetanide-sensitive Na+, K+, 2Cl(-)-cotransport in HeLa cells, studied by 22Na+ and 86Rb+ influx measurements. These data indicate (1) that distinct functionally active receptors for ANP are present on HeLa cells and (2) ANP influences the activity of Na+,K+,2Cl(-)-cotransport in these cells.

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
Measurements of internal ion concentrations, amino acid pools, and membrane potential were made across a series of HeLa subclones which are amplified for the genes for the sodium- and potassium-activated ATPase (Na,K-ATPase). These subclones expressed heterogeneous levels of ouabain-binding sites, allowing us to construct a graded amplification series. While [K+]i levels did not vary systematically across the series studied, [Na+]i ranged from 9 to 20 mM as a function of Na,K-ATPase expression. Steady-state accumulation of tetraphenylphosphonium in low versus high potassium was used to measure membrane potential. Values for [Na+]i and the membrane potential were used to calculate the sodium electrochemical potential, which was also found to be a function of Na,K-ATPase expression. Measurements of acid-soluble amino acid pools in cell lysates demonstrated that amino acids which are substrates for sodium-dependent transport systems, or which can potentially exchange through system L for a substrate of a sodium-dependent system, varied as a function of the sodium electrochemical potential. This confirmed our prediction of increased amino acid pool sizes in Na,K-ATPase-amplified lines based on observations of elevated flux through the sodium-independent system L. Finally, we measured lactate production and glycolytic potential in a subset of clones and found that both were reduced in subclones with elevated Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
Weanling genetically obese (C57BL/6J-ob/ob) and lean (+/?) mice were given access to either a standard laboratory diet or the standard diet plus a 32% sucrose solution. At the end of a 4-week period, animals were sacrificed and opiate receptor binding determined. Both obese and lean mice given access to sucrose consumed approximately 30% more calories per day than animals given access to the standard diet alone. Obese animals consumed significantly more calories from the sucrose solution than the lean animals. Genetically obese animals weighed more than lean littermates throughout the course of the study. Differences in body weight due to sucrose supplementation in both genetically obese and lean mice were significant by day 10 and increased in magnitude until the termination of the study. Whereas there were no significant differences in specific opiate receptor binding (pmol 3H-naloxone bound/mg brain protein) between the genetically obese and lean animals, opiate receptor binding was significantly greater in genetically obese animals given access to sucrose than in obese animals which had access only to the standard diet. These data demonstrate that the sucrose-induced model of obesity functions in mice and that giving ob/ob mice access to sucrose in addition to a standard laboratory diet results in increased opiate receptor binding.

Abstract
Endosomes maintain a slightly acidic internal pH, which is directly responsible for their ability to ensure proper sorting of incoming receptors and ligands during endocytosis. At least two distinct subpopulations of endosomes can be distinguished, designated "early" and "late" on the basis of their kinetics of labeling with endocytic tracers. The subpopulations differ not only in their functions (rapid receptor recycling and transport to lysosomes, respectively) but also in their capacities for acidification in intact cells and in vitro. To investigate the possible basis for pH regulation in endosomes, we have studied the transport properties and ion permeabilities of early and late endosomes isolated from Chinese hamster ovary cells. Using endosomes selectively labeled with pH-sensitive endocytic tracers, we found that ATP-dependent acidification is electrogenic, being accompanied by the generation of an interior-positive membrane potential which opposes further acidification. While membrane potential and, consequently, acidification was controlled by the influx of permeant anions and efflux of protons and alkali cations, acidification was further modulated in Na+ and K+-containing buffers by the ouabain- and vanadate-sensitive Na+,K+-ATPase, which appears to be a functional component of the endosomal membrane. The data suggest that electrogenic Na+ transport due to Na+,K+-ATPase activity contributes to the interior-positive membrane potential, thereby reducing ATP-dependent H+ transport. Importantly, inhibition of acidification by Na+,K+-ATPase activity was found only in early endosomes, consistent with their limited acidification capacity relative to late endosomes and lysosomes.

Abstract
Changes in the intracellular concentrations of Na+ and K+ of fetal human fibroblasts have been followed after replacement of serum-containing growth media with unsupplemented and serum-supplemented saline solution (Earle's balanced salt solution). Incubation in unsupplemented salt solution was followed by a progressive increase of the internal Na+ counterbalanced by a decrease of internal K+, without major alterations of the internal osmolarity. After 3 h incubation the intracellular Na+ and K+ concentrations were 120 mM and 50 mM, respectively. These intracellular ion derangements were not associated with a failure of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase pump, whose activity actually increased with enhanced intracellular Na+ concentration. Ion changes did not take place when serum (in excess of 0.5%, final concentration) was present in the saline solution and a complete restoration to normal of the Na+ and K+ gradients occurred upon addition of serum to cells previously incubated in plain saline solution. The effects of serum were mimicked by furosemide, thus suggesting that channels sensitive to this diuretic are involved in the movement of Na+ and K+ following fibroblast incubation in unsupplemented saline solution.

Abstract
We have isolated a cDNA clone for the beta-subunit of HeLa cell Na,K-ATPase, containing a 2208-base-pair cDNA insert covering the whole coding region of the beta-subunit. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the amino acid sequence of human Na,K-ATPase exhibited 61% homology with that of Torpedo counterpart (Noguchi et al. (1986) FEBS Lett. in press). A remarkable conservation in the nucleotide sequence of the 3' non-coding region was detected between the human and Torpedo cDNAs. RNA blot hybridization analysis revealed the presence of two mRNA species in HeLa cells. S1 nuclease mapping indicated that they were derived from utilization of two distinct polyadenylation signals in vivo. Total genomic Southern hybridization indicated the existence of only a few, possibly one set of gene encoding the Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit in the human genome.

Abstract
The long-term excitability and the ionic currents in the nodes of Ranvier were studied in the severed frog sciatic nerve and the unoperated contralateral control nerve. After unilateral nerve section, compound action potentials of the nerve bundles and action potentials of single myelinated nerve fibres remained normal in amplitude and duration in either sciatic nerve for more than 38 days when frogs were kept at 11 degrees C. During this period the resting potentials averaged about -75 mV. Under voltage-clamp conditions Na currents and K currents in transected single myelinated nerve fibres also appeared normal in their kinetics, and in their peak amplitudes. These results indicate that the Na- and K-channel densities are quantitatively unchanged after the nerve transection, up to several weeks. The excitability of the severed sciatic nerve, expectedly, depends strongly on the time course of Wallerian degeneration. When frogs were kept at room temperature, the nerve excitability remained normal for only about 8-10 days, due to the faster Wallerian degeneration; whereas at 4 degrees C it was maintained for more than 84 days, as long as the myelinated nerve fibres did not degenerate. Together, these findings demonstrate that Na channels, K channels, and Na-K pumps are continuously present for several weeks in the transected nerve before nerve degeneration. It is surmised that either, (a) these proteins are extremely stable in the transected myelinated nerve fibres, or (b) they are supplied locally by Schwann cells, an open question recently posed by Chiu, Schrager & Ritchie (1984). In either event, the myelinated nerve fibres do not require cell bodies to provide a significant amount of new channels and pumps in order to retain their long-term excitability.
