Abstract
Historically, insulin is best known for its role in peripheral glucose homeostasis, and insulin signaling in the brain has received less attention. Insulin-independent brain glucose uptake has been the main reason for considering the brain as an insulin-insensitive organ. However, recent findings showing a high concentration of insulin in brain extracts, and expression of insulin receptors (IRs) in central nervous system tissues have gathered considerable attention over the sources, localization, and functions of insulin in the brain. This review summarizes the current status of knowledge of the peripheral and central sources of insulin in the brain, site-specific expression of IRs, and also neurophysiological functions of insulin including the regulation of food intake, weight control, reproduction, and cognition and memory formation. This review also considers the neuromodulatory and neurotrophic effects of insulin, resulting in proliferation, differentiation, and neurite outgrowth, introducing insulin as an attractive tool for neuroprotection against apoptosis, oxidative stress, beta amyloid toxicity, and brain ischemia.

Abstract
AIM The present study investigated the effect of adenosine on Na(+)-K(+) pumps in acutely isolated guinea pig (Cavia sp.) ventricular myocytes. METHODS The whole-cell, patch-clamp technique was used to record the Na(+)-K(+) pump current (I(p)) in acutely isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes. RESULTS Adenosine inhibited the high DHO-affinity pump current (I(h)) in a concentration-dependent manner, which was blocked by the selective adenosine A(1) receptor antagonist DPCPX and the general protein kinase C (PKC) antagonists staurosporine, GF 109203X or the specific delta isoform antagonist rottlerin. In addition, the inhibitory action of adenosine was mimicked by a selective A(1) receptor agonist CCPA and a specific activator peptide of PKC-delta, PP114. In contrast, the selective A(2A) receptor agonist CGS21680 and A(3) receptor agonist Cl-IB-MECA did not affect I(h). Application of the selective A(2A) receptor antagonist SCH58261 and A(3) receptor antagonist MRS1191 also failed to block the effect of adenosine. Furthermore, H89, a selective protein kinase A (PKA) antagonist, did not exert any effect on adenosine-induced I(h) inhibition. CONCLUSION The present study provides the electrophysiological evidence that adenosine can induce significant inhibition of I(h) via adenosine A(1) receptors and the PKC-delta isoform.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of insulin and insulin-like growth factor I on transepithelial Na(+) transport across porcine glandular endometrial epithelial cells grown in primary culture. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I acutely stimulated Na(+) transport two- to threefold by increasing Na(+)-K(+) ATPase transport activity and basolateral membrane K(+) conductance without increasing the apical membrane amiloride-sensitive Na(+) conductance. Long-term exposure to insulin for 4 d resulted in enhanced Na(+) absorption with a further increase in Na(+)-K(+) ATPase transport activity and an increase in apical membrane amiloride-sensitive Na(+) conductance. The effect of insulin on the Na(+)-K(+) ATPase was the result of an increase in V(max) for extracellular K(+) and intracellular Na(+), and an increase in affinity of the pump for Na(+). Immunohistochemical localization along with Western blot analysis of cultured porcine endometrial epithelial cells revealed the presence of alpha-1 and alpha-2 isoforms, but not the alpha-3 isoform of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase, which did not change in the presence of insulin. Insulin-stimulated Na(+) transport was inhibited by hydroxy-2-naphthalenylmethylphosphonic acid tris-acetoxymethyl ester [HNMPA-(AM)(3)], a specific inhibitor of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity, suggesting that the regulation of Na(+) transport by insulin involves receptor autophosphorylation. Pretreatment with wortmannin, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase as well as okadaic acid and calyculin A, inhibitors of protein phosphatase activity, also blocked the insulin-stimulated increase in short circuit and pump currents, suggesting that activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and subsequent stimulation of a protein phosphatase mediates the action of insulin on Na(+)-K(+) ATPase activation.

Abstract
The sodium-potassium ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase or Na+/K+-pump) is an enzyme present at the surface of all eukaryotic cells, which actively extrudes Na+ from cells in exchange for K+ at a ratio of 3:2, respectively. Its activity also provides the driving force for secondary active transport of solutes such as amino acids, phosphate, vitamins and, in epithelial cells, glucose. The enzyme consists of two subunits (alpha and beta) each expressed in several isoforms. Many hormones regulate Na+/K+-ATPase activity and in this review we will focus on the effects of insulin. The possible mechanisms whereby insulin controls Na+/K+-ATPase activity are discussed. These are tissue- and isoform-specific, and include reversible covalent modification of catalytic subunits, activation by a rise in intracellular Na+ concentration, altered Na+ sensitivity and changes in subunit gene or protein expression. Given the recent escalation in knowledge of insulin-stimulated signal transduction systems, it is pertinent to ask which intracellular signalling pathways are utilized by insulin in controlling Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Evidence for and against a role for the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and mitogen activated protein kinase arms of the insulin-stimulated intracellular signalling networks is suggested. Finally, the clinical relevance of Na+/K+-ATPase control by insulin in diabetes and related disorders is addressed.

Abstract
Na+/K+-ATPase-dependent Rb+ uptake of RN22 Schwann cells was stimulated by cholera toxin (0.25 microg/ml), forskolin (2 mM), or 8-bromo cAMP (1 mM). At 2 h Rb+ uptake was increased by 162+/-6% (cholera toxin), 151+/-14% (forskolin), and 207+/-15% (8-bromo cAMP). Cholera toxin or 8-bromo cAMP treatment for 12-24 h resulted in a second peak of Na+/K+-ATPase-dependent Rb+ transport activity of 186+/-12 and 265+/-9% of control, respectively. Cholera toxin also transiently stimulated the activity of the Na+, K+, 2Cl- -cotransporter with a peak at 2 h (179+/-9%), returning to basal levels by 24 h. Inhibition of the Na+,K+,2Cl- -cotransporter by bumetanide (0.1 mM) or by reduction of the Na+ gradient (10 mM veratridine treatment) prevented the early peak in ATPase activity but not the second peak. These results indicated that the early transient stimulation of Na+/K+ ATPase activity by cholera toxin was due to an increase in cellular Na+, secondary to stimulation of Na+,K+,2Cl -cotransport activity. Western blot analysis of cellular homogenates and purified membrane fractions showed that the second peak of Rb+ uptake activity was a result of translocation of transport protein from an intracellular microsomal pool to the plasma membrane. Rb+ uptake by dominant negative protein kinase A mutants of the RN22 cell was not stimulated by cholera toxin treatment (acute or chronic) confirming the cAMP/protein kinase A dependency of both acute and long-term regulation of transport activity. In the absence of a change in Michaelis constants or of an increase in total transport protein of cellular homogenates, neither a change in enzyme kinetics nor an increase in de novo synthesis of transport protein could account for the increase in transport activity.

Abstract
This study was designed to determine if a Ca(2+)-dependent, calnaktin-like inhibitor of Na,K-ATPase existed in rat brain and to compare the inhibition of different Na,K-ATPase isozymes in brain, heart and kidney. Based on the size and characteristics of human red blood cell calnaktin, a soluble protein fraction was obtained from rat brain and subjected to ultrafiltration and gel filtration to restrict the proteins to an appropriate molecular range of 6-50 kDa (6/50 fraction) for a crude calnaktin preparation. The 6/50 fraction was reconstituted with semipurified rat brain Na,K-ATPase and resulted in Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity. A 6/50 fraction was also prepared from rat heart ventricles, and, in its presence, Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of cardiac Na,K-ATPase activity was observed. With brain preparations, the threshold for inhibition was approximately 100 nM free Ca2+, and inhibition was half maximal at 3-10 microM free Ca2+. Different isozymes of Na,K-ATPase were examined using differential sensitivity to ouabain and differential tissue distribution in brain, heart and kidney. The alpha 1 activity was inhibited in all three tissues. The alpha 2 activity of heart and the alpha 2 and/or alpha 3 activity of brain were also inhibited by the brain 6/50 fraction. In synaptosomal preparations from rat forebrain, resting intracellular (intrasynaptosomal) free Ca2+ was close to the threshold for calnaktin-like inhibition. The results are consistent with the presence of a calnaktin-like inhibitor of Na,K-ATPase in rat brain and indicate that calnaktin could be a widespread regulator of the alpha 1 isozyme. In addition, this study provides the first evidence that calnaktin also inhibits the alpha 2 activity of heart and the alpha 2 and/or alpha 3 isozymes of brain.

Abstract
We examined protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent regulation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in frog mucociliary cells. Activation of PKC by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (diC8) either in intact cells or isolated membranes resulted in a specific inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity by approximately 25-45%. The inhibitory effects in membranes exhibited time dependence and dose dependence [half-maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) = 0.5 +/- 0.1 nM and 2.4 +/- 0.2 microM, respectively, for TPA and diC8] and were not influenced by Ca2+. Analysis of the ouabain inhibition pattern revealed the presence of two Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase isoforms with IC50 values for cardiac glycoside of 2.6 +/- 0.8 nM and 409 +/- 65 nM, respectively. Most importantly, the isoform possessing a higher affinity for ouabain was almost completely inhibited by TPA, whereas its counterpart was hardly sensitive to the PKC activator. The results suggest that, in frog mucociliary cells, PKC regulates Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and that this action is related to the specific Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase isoform.

Abstract
Na+/K+-ATPase related strophanthidin sensitive 3-O-methylfluorescein-phosphatase activity, [3H]ouabain binding and expression of Na+/K+-ATPase subunit isoforms were measured in the left ventricle of the heart of normal and streptozotocin-diabetic rats with and without insulin treatment. Compared to control animals, the enzyme activity was 0.75 +/- 0.09 and 0.62 +/- 0.06 times lower in rats diabetic for 2 and for 4 weeks, respectively. This was associated with a proportional decrease of the [3H]ouabain binding sites. Immunoblots indicated a 0.76 +/- 0.08 and 0.61 +/- 0.08-fold decrease of alpha1, a 0.68 +/- 0.09 and 0.41 +/- 0.04-fold decrease of alpha2 subunit in 2- and 4-week diabetic rats, respectively relative to controls. Beta1 subunit decreased proportionally 0.71 +/- 0.07 and 0.38 +/- 0.06-fold, and beta2 decreased 0.75 +/- 0.08 and 0.31 +/- 0.06-fold, respectively. Northern blot analysis revealed a significant reduction in mRNA level of Na+/K+-ATPase subunit isoforms after 2 and 4 weeks of diabetes (for alpha1 66.2 +/- 8.2 and 55.9 +/- 7.8% of controls for alpha2 91.7 +/- 12.1 and 41.1 +/- 7.1% of controls and for beta subunit 93.4 +/- 11.1 and 49.8 +/- 6.8% of controls, respectively). Although, mRNA levels of isoform reverted to even higher levels than the control values after insulin treatment, insulin caused only a partial recovery of enzyme activity, [3H]ouabain binding capacity and protein expression. We have obtained evidence that in cardiac left ventricle there are more than one type of Na+/K+-ATPase alpha and beta subunit isoforms which are affected in diabetes and by insulin treatment. The time course of diabetes induced changes and the degree of involvement suggest that the Na+/K+-ATPase isoforms are altered individually.

Abstract
In this study we analysed the changes in the properties of rat cerebral cortex Na+K(+)-ATPase in streptozotocin induced diabetes (STZ-diabetes). Special attempt was made to determine whether insulin treatment of diabetic animals could restore the altered parameters of this enzyme. Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity was found to be decreased by 15% after 2 weeks, and by 37% after 4 weeks in diabetic rat brains with a parallel decrease in maximal capacity of low affinity ouabain binding sites. There was no significant change in the high affinity ouabain binding sites. The Kd values did not change significantly. Western blot analysis of brain Na+/K(+)-ATPase isoforms indicated a 61 +/- 5.8% and 20 +/- 2.8% decrease of the alpha 1 and alpha 3 isoforms, respectively in 4 weeks diabetic animals. Change in the amount of the alpha 2 isoform proved to be less characteristic. Both types of beta subunit isoform showed a significant decrease in four weeks diabetic rats. Our data indicate a good correlation in diabetic rats between changes in Na-/K(+)-ATPase activity, low affinity ouabain binding capacity and the level of alpha 1 isoform. While insulin treatment of diabetic animals restored the blood glucose level to normal, a complete reversal of diabetes induced changes in Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity, ouabain binding capacity and Na+/K(+)-ATPase isoform composition could not be achieved.

Abstract
The adenylyl cyclase-coupled vasopressin V2 receptor has been cloned recently and shown, in rats, to be produced from the predominant form of two alternate spliced variants. To begin to unravel the transcriptional regulation of this receptor, we have isolated the 5' flanking region of the rat vasopressin V2 receptor gene and characterized its promoter sequence. The method of inverse polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which allows the amplification of DNA fragments adjacent to a segment of known sequence, was used as an alternative approach to genomic DNA library screening. Using a probe encompassing part of the coding region, first we identified by Southern blot analysis, a single BstX I hybridizing fragment of 2.3 kilobases (kb). This size predicted a BstX I restriction site 1.5 kb upstream to the gene coding region. Cloning of this fragment was accomplished through circularization of BstX I restriction digests and inverse PCR-mediated amplification. Sequence analysis of the gene 5' flanking domain enabled the design of oligonucleotide primers with the usual forward/reverse orientation, and additional clones were generated from native genomic DNA using a high fidelity thermoresistant DNA polymerase. Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and primer extension analysis mapped the major transcription start site 422 nucleotides upstream to the translation initiation codon. The promoter region lacks a TATA box but contains a CAAT box and a consensus binding site for transcription factor Sp1. Multiple potential binding sites for the transcription factor PEA3 are clustered in two DNA portions located 0.6 kb and 1 kb upstream to the coding region. In addition, sequences homologous to glucocorticoid response elements are present and might be responsible for the regulation by adrenal steroids of vasopressin-dependent adenylyl cyclase activity in the kidney.

Abstract
The effect of low concentrations of ethanol on Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity, defined as ouabain-inhibitable 86Rb+ (K+) uptake, was investigated in a crude synaptosome preparation which was subject to minimal subcellular fractionation procedures. Moderate (20-30%) but potent (EC50 = 3.8 mM) stimulation of total ouabain (1 mM)-inhibitable K+ uptake by ethanol was observed following incubation periods of up to 20 min. The activity of the ethanol-induced component of K+ uptake was antagonized by nanomolar concentrations of ouabain. Thus, the moderate stimulation of total ouabain-inhibitable K+ uptake by ethanol was attributable to the activation of a component of K+ uptake which was very sensitive (VS; IC50 = 2.8 x 10(-10) M) to inhibition by ouabain. Slightly higher concentrations of ouabain (10(-9) - 10(-6.6) M) stimulated K+ uptake above control (no ethanol or ouabain) in both the absence and presence of ethanol. The selectivity of the VS-ethanol interaction was demonstrated by the lack of any ethanol effect on two other components of ouabain-inhibitable K+ uptake which accounted for inhibition of K+ uptake by concentrations of ouabain above 10(-6.6) M and were defined as sensitive (S; IC50 = 10(-6) M) and insensitive (I; IC50 = 10(-4) M) to ouabain. These results define the ethanol-inducible component of ouabain-inhibitable Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity and promote the view that changes in Na+,K(+)-ATPase-dependent ion translocation may contribute to ethanol intoxication in vivo.

Abstract
The expression of Na,K-ATPase isoforms was investigated in human skeletal muscle membranes isolated by subcellular fractionation. The alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3 and beta 1 subunits were detectable in membranes prepared from the human soleus muscle. The alpha 1 subunit was largely detected in a fraction enriched with plasma membranes (PM), its abundance in an intracellular membrane fraction (IM) accounted for only 4% of that in the PM fraction. No alpha 1 subunits were detected in membranes of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) origin. The PM and IM fractions were enriched with alpha 2 subunits which were less abundant in the SR-enriched fraction. The abundance of alpha 2 molecules within the IM fraction was about 75% of that in the PM fraction when the total protein content for the two fractions was taken into account. Immunocytochemical studies confirmed the localization of the alpha 1 subunit to the muscle cell surface. The alpha 2 subunit was also found to be present in the cell surface but the observation that alpha 2 immunofluorescence was diffusely dispersed throughout the muscle fibre indicated that it was also present intracellularly, consistent with its biochemical localization in the PM and IM membrane fractions. The alpha 3 subunit was detected largely in the PM fraction but the lack of good antibodies to this isoform precluded an analysis of its immunocytochemical localization. The beta 1 subunit was enriched in the PM fraction but was also detected to a modest extent in the IM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
In synaptosomal preparations from rat cerebral cortex, ouabain-sensitive Rb+ uptake was stimulated by ethanol (20-80 mM). Based on differential sensitivity to ouabain, 80% of this Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity represented activity of the alpha 1 isozyme while 20% was due to the alpha 2 and/or alpha 3 isozymes (alpha 2/ alpha 3). Stimulation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase was selective for the activity of alpha 2/alpha 3 which was increased by 167% in the presence of 80 mM ethanol. In this concentration range, ethanol had no effect on alpha 1 activity. Exposure of synaptosomal preparations to EGTA increased basal (no ethanol) alpha 2/alpha 3 activity with no effect on alpha 1 activity. Further, ethanol no longer stimulated alpha 2/alpha 3 activity after EGTA treatment. An EGTA extract was concentrated and desalted to yield a fraction that selectively inhibited alpha 2/alpha 3 activity when reconstituted with EGTA-treated synaptosomal preparations. This inhibition was trypsin-sensitive, suggesting protein involvement, and was prevented by 80 mM ethanol. In the presence of the inhibitory protein fraction, ethanol stimulated Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in EGTA-treated membranes with a dose-response like that observed with the crude (no EGTA) synaptosomes. We propose that the alpha 2/alpha 3 activity of Na+,K(+)-ATPase is subject to inhibitory regulation and that ethanol stimulates this activity by releasing it from inhibition, an effect that may mimic in vivo deregulation of the enzyme by ethanol.

The expression of the canine alpha 2 and 3 subunit isoenzymes of NA,K-ATPase has been investigated in plasma membranes isolated from dog heart, brain and kidney by immunoblotting, employing polyclonal anti rat fusion protein, and enzymological techniques. Western blot analysis revealed with purified dog membrane Na,K-ATPase preparations, one immunoreactive signal with rat specific alpha 3 antisera in cardiac tissues, and two immunoreactive signals with rat alpha 2 and alpha 3 antisera in cerebral tissues. These findings suggested the specific expression of alpha 3 polypeptide in dog heart (99 kDa), whereas dog brain expressed the alpha 2 and 3 polypeptides. The stained bands were superimposed. The antibody to rat brain alpha 1 fusion protein did not cross-react with dog antigens whatever the three tissues tested. Expression of the alpha 3-subunit isoform in dog heart membranes was consistent with a high affinity digitoxigenin-sensitive class of Na,K-ATPase (IC50 = 7 +/- 2 nM). A single component with low affinity to digitoxigenin (IC50 = 110 +/- 10 nM) characterized the alpha 1 kidney form. The mixture of alpha 2 and alpha 3 isoforms in dog brain exhibited an apparent affinity for digitoxigenin (IC50 = 17 +/- 5 nM) lower than the heart. The sodium dependences of the high affinity digitoxigenin sites were for the cardiac alpha 3 form (K0.5 = 10 +/- 1.9 mM) and for the cerebral alpha 2 and alpha 3 mixture (K0.5 19.6 +/- 4.9 mM). The sensitivities for Na+ of the low affinity sites (alpha 1) were: 6.7 +/- 1.4 mM, 6.3 +/- 1.2 mM and 11.6 +/- 2.9 mM in heart, brain and kidney respectively. This is the first report of the catalytic characteristics of the alpha 3 subunit isoenzyme in canine cardiac plasma membranes.

Abstract
The (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase is responsible for maintenance of the ionic milieu of cells. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of aluminum, an ion implicated in several neurological disorders, on ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by the rat brain synaptosomal (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase and on the binding of [3H]ouabain to this enzyme. AlCl3 (25-100 microM) inhibits the phosphatase activity of the (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase in a dose-dependent manner. AlCl3 appears to act as a reversible, noncompetitive inhibitor of (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase activity by decreasing the maximum velocity of the enzyme without significantly affecting the apparent dissociation constant with respect to ATP. AlCl3 may affect Mg2+ sites on the (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase but does not appear to interact with Na+ or K+ sites on the enzyme. In contrast to this inhibitory effect on the phosphatase function of the enzyme, AlCl3 (1-100 microM) stimulates the binding of [3H]ouabain to the (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase. This effect is due to an increase in the maximum [3H]ouabain binding capacity of the enzyme with no change in the [3H]ouabain binding affinity. These data support the hypothesis that AlCl3 may stabilize the phosphorylated form of the synaptosomal (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase which increases [3H]ouabain binding while inhibiting the phosphatase activity of the enzyme.

Abstract
To identify the Na,K-ATPase isoforms present in the mammalian lens, seven antisera were prepared to selected peptide sequences of the catalytic (alpha) subunit. Three antisera were prepared to peptide sequences at the N-terminus of the three sequenced rat alpha isoforms. There is < 53% sequence homology among the isoforms in this region. Three antisera were prepared to peptide sequences at the ouabain binding site in the extracellular loop between membrane spanning sequences 1 and 2 of the sequenced rat alpha isoforms; sequence homology among the isoforms in this region is < 69%. An antiserum was also prepared to the carboxyl terminal region of the alpha 2 rat isoform. The sequenced isoforms (rat and human) in this region are > 94% homologous. The results from stains of Western blots of SDS-PAGE separations of lens membranes are presented. Alpha 1 is the predominant isoform of the epithelium. It is not found in cells of the central epithelium but is present in cells located more toward the equator. Alpha 3 is the catalytic subunit of the central 43% of the epithelium. The lens fiber cell membranes have a catalytic subunit that is related to the alpha 2 isoform. In the fiber cell a 98-100 kDa band stains with the antiserum to the alpha 2 N-terminus and the antiserum to the alpha 2 ouabain site. The antiserum to the alpha 2 C-terminus does not stain the 98-100 kDa band. (Preliminary reports of these results were presented at the 1992 and 1993 meetings of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology).

Abstract
Prior work employing an in vitro model of the cerebral cortex has shown that sodium pump activity is a critical determinant for neuronal survival of glutamate stimulation. We have hypothesized that up-regulation of total brain sodium pump activity will protect against potential excitotoxins. Increased sodium pump activity could theoretically occur by changes in the reaction rate (short-term) and/or by increased levels of sodium pump protein (long-term) and is potentially complex since the three catalytic (a) subunit isoforms of the sodium pump are distributed in a highly variable, cell-specific pattern in the brain. Short-term regulation (seconds to minutes) has been well studied: brain sodium pump exhibits a large dynamic range. In contrast, the possibility of long-term modulation of sodium pump activity has not been extensively explored. We used isoform specific antibodies and [3H]ouabain binding to determine whether prolonged stimulation of sodium pump activity in rodent telencephalic cultures increased total sodium pump enzyme. Exposure of mixed neuronal-glial cultures to high levels of glutamate (10 mM) for 18 h, which is highly toxic to neurons, was associated with an approximately 80% increase in alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunit expression by glia. Induction of alpha 2 subunit immunoreactivity was also associated with comparable changes in [3H]ouabain binding, suggesting that the up-regulation corresponded to functional alpha 2 protein. Shorter (30 min) glutamate treatments, which also killed neurons, did not produce similar changes in sodium pump expression. In contrast to mixed cultures, pure astrocyte cultures had undetectable alpha 2 and alpha 3 and moderate levels of alpha 1 protein, as confirmed by low levels of [3H]ouabain binding. Glutamate treatment using this protocol was associated with a decrease in alpha 1 sodium pump expression. We conclude that long-term regulation of the sodium pump can be demonstrated in glia which have developed in the presence of neurons. Both alpha 1 and alpha 2 isoforms of the sodium pump are involved in this response to glutamate.

Abstract
Na+,K(+)-ATPase (the sodium pump) is a family of proteins consisting of catalytic (alpha) and glycoprotein (beta) subunit isoforms which are differentially expressed in excitable tissue. To gain insight into the cell-type distribution of sodium pump protein, we determined the expression pattern of fetal rat telencephalic cultures, of telencephalic cultures depleted of neurons, and of pure astrocyte cultures. Isoform-specific antibodies were used for immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry, with supplemental [3H]ouabain binding to assess levels of functional alpha 2/alpha 3 protein. The results show that neurons of mixed telencephalic cultures uniquely express alpha 3 and high levels of alpha 1. The marked similarity in the distribution of microtubule-associated protein-2 and alpha 1 immunocytochemical staining strongly suggests that alpha 1 subunits are enriched in dendrites. Further, highly correlative growth cone-associated protein-43 and alpha 3 staining is consistent with a preferential expression of alpha 3 subunits in axons, which are also characterized by low levels of alpha 1 and no alpha 2 immunoreactivity. Process-bearing glia are intimately associated with neuronal aggregates and express high levels of both alpha 1 and alpha 2 protein, as well as GFAP. Interestingly, polygonal, flat glia not within neuronal aggregates are weakly immunopositive only for alpha 1 and GFAP. Pure astrocytic cultures possess appreciable alpha 1 protein and GFAP, but lack both alpha 2 and alpha 3 immunoreactivity. As predicted by the immunohistochemical findings, [3H]ouabain binding was low in pure astrocytic cultures, and much higher in the neuron-enriched mixed cultures. These observations confirm that neurons express all three catalytic isoforms of the sodium pump. They also suggest that specific alpha-isoforms may be polarized to targeted membrane regions of neurons. Further, glia intimately associated with neurons express alpha 2, bind significant amounts of [3H]ouabain, and possess much higher levels of alpha 1 and GFAP compared to glia not near neurons. Thus, neurons may regulate glial sodium pump expression.

Abstract
The Na+,K(+)-ATPase is an important enzyme in determining the ionic milieu of the cerebromicrovasculature and neurons. The effect of hypertension or aging on this enzyme, as well as its susceptibility to regulation by fatty acids or aluminum, is the focus of this study. A significant increase (34%) in the apparent affinity constant (KD) but no change in the maximum binding capacity (Bmax) for [3H]ouabain binding to the cerebromicrovascular Na+,K(+)-ATPase occurs after induction of acute hypertension. In addition, long chain unsaturated fatty acids stimulate the binding of [3H]ouabain to the enzyme in microvessels from normotensive and hypertensive rats. The synaptosomal Na+,K(+)-ATPase is sensitive to aluminum. AlCl3 (1-100 microM) inhibits the K(+)-dependent-p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K(+)-NPPase) activity of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase in a dose-dependent manner. AlCl3 (100 microM) decreases the Vmax by 14% but does not alter the KM, suggestive of non-competitive inhibition. The enzyme from aged brain displays a greater Vmax, but shows the same susceptibility to AlCl3 as the enzyme from younger brain. In summary, disruption of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase may underlie, at least in part, abnormalities of nerve and vascular cell function in disorders where elevated concentrations of fatty acids or metal ions are involved.

Abstract
Cells of the murine skeletal muscle line, C2C12, undergo differentiation from mononuclear myoblasts to multinuclear myotubes that express a number of proteins associated with striated muscle. We examined the relationship between the abundance of the mRNAs encoding the fast-twitch Ca-ATPase and the alpha isoforms of Na,K-ATPase and the subsequent expression of their respective polypeptides. Both the mRNA and protein levels of the alpha 1 isoform remained constant throughout differentiation. In contrast, the content of mRNAs encoding the alpha 2 isoform and fast-twitch Ca-ATPase increased coordinately with the abundance of their corresponding polypeptides during myotube development. Despite the dramatic increase in alpha 2 expression, estimates of in vitro Na,K-ATPase activity and assessments of in vivo transport activity suggest that alpha 2 contributes little to ionic homeostasis in C2C12 myotubes.

Abstract
3H-ouabain binding and ouabain-inhibitable 86Rb+ (K+) uptake were investigated as a means to identify a third isoform of Na+, K(+)-ATPase in crude synaptosome preparations. The specific binding of low concentrations (10 nM and 1 uM) of 3H-ouabain, in crude synaptosome preparations, was markedly inhibited by K+ (0.5-5 mM). Accordingly, 86Rb+ (K+) uptake, in the presence of 5 mM K+ was not sensitive to inhibition by low concentrations (10(-11)-10(-7) M) of ouabain. Higher concentrations (10(-6)-10(-2.6) M) of ouabain resulted in a biphasic inhibition of K+ uptake, which distinguished the activities of the presumed alpha 2 and alpha 1 isozymes of Na+, K(+)-ATPase. Reduction of K+ (1.25 mM and 0.5 mM) in the incubation, resulted in the observation of a third component of ouabain-sensitive K+ uptake. This Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity, which was defined, pharmacologically, as very sensitive (VS) to ouabain, exhibited IC50S of 3.6 nM and 92 nM at 1.25 mM K+ and 0.5 mM K+, respectively. Inhibition of ouabain binding and VS-dependent K+ uptake, at a high, physiological concentration (5 mM) of K+, suggests that VS may be an inactive isoform of brain Na+, K(+)-ATPase under resting conditions.

Abstract
(Na+ + K+)ATPase activity in cerebral cortex was modulated by insulin action depending on the Mg2+ concentration. Thus, in homogenates in the presence of 1-3 mM Mg2+, insulin stimulated the enzyme, whereas in the presence of 4-6 mM Mg2+ inhibition was observed. Exposure of synaptosomal membranes to the soluble fraction resulted in inhibition of ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of insulin was regulated by a cytoplasmic factor in a dose-dependent manner. Similar variations to those obtained with a crude synaptosomal fraction were obtained by using a partially purified ATPase. These results indicated the importance of soluble factors in the modulation of ATPase by insulin and add more evidence in support for a role of insulin as a neuromodulator.

Abstract
This study describes reduced motor nerve conduction velocity and increased resistance to hypoxia-induced conduction failure in sciatic nerves of rats after four weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes (both effects were significant at p less than 0.05). These changes occurred in the absence of any deficit in the steady-state ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of sciatic nerve endoneurial homogenates. The addition of 10 nmol/l insulin to endoneurial homogenates from control animals resulted in a 34% increase in ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity and a 19% reduction in ouabain-insensitive ATPase activity (both p less than 0.01). This stimulation of ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity by insulin did not occur in homogenates from diabetic rats. Treating diabetic rats daily with the aldose reductase inhibitor, imirestat (1 mg/kg) improved nerve conduction velocity (p less than 0.05) but was without effect upon the resistance to hypoxic conduction blockade or the deficit in insulin-stimulated ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity. These data suggest that in streptozotocin-diabetic rats the functional disorders of reduced motor nerve conduction velocity and increased resistance to hypoxic conduction blockade do not share a common aetiology and that impaired nerve conduction is not related to reduced maximal potential ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity.

Abstract
Renal cortical thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop (CAL) and distal convoluted tubules (DCT) represent sites at which much of the final regulation of urinary ionic composition, particularly that of calcium, is accomplished in both humans and in rodents. We sought in the present work to develop an efficient means for isolating parathyroid hormone (PTH)-sensitive cells from these nephron segments and to grow them in primary culture. [CAL+DCT] cells were isolated from mouse kidney using an antiserum against the Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein which, in the renal cortex, is produced exclusively by these cells. A second antibody conjugated to coated ferrous particles permitted magnetic separation of [CAL+DCT] cells from Tamm-Horsfall negative renal cortical cells. Approximately 3 X 10(6) cells per kidney with a trypan blue exclusion greater than 94% were isolated by these procedures. Experiments were performed to characterize the cells after 7 to 10 days in primary culture. PTH and isoproterenol, but neither calcitonin nor vasopressin, stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) formation in [CAL+DCT] cells, consistent with the pattern of hormone-activated cAMP synthesis found in freshly isolated CAL and DCT segments. Alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme present dominantly in proximal tubule brush border membranes, was virtually absent from [CAL+DCT] cells but was present in Tamm-Horsfall negative cells. Similarly, Na-glucose cotransport was absent in [CAL+DCT] cells but present in Tamm-Horsfall negative renal cortical cells. Finally, transport-related oxygen consumption in [CAL+DCT] cells was blocked by bumetanide and by chlorothiazide, diuretics that inhibit sodium transport in CAL and DCT nephron segments. These results demonstrate that PTH-sensitive [CAL+DCT] cells can be isolated in relatively high yield and viability and grown in cell culture. Primary cultures of these cells exhibit a phenotype appropriate to their site of origin in the nephron.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of intracerebroventricular infusion of tetrodotoxin on activity and function of brain Na+,K(+)-ATPase. Infusion of 1 or 3 micrograms/h for 2, 4 or 7 days by osmotic minipump reduced the number of Na+,K(+)-ATPase sites as measured by ouabain binding in cerebral cortex. Tetrodotoxin infusions substantially reduced the functional transport capacity of Na+,K(+)-ATPase, measured by the maximal increase in synaptoneurosomal 86Rb+ uptake in the presence of monensin. The effects were maximal at 4 days, with a possible partial recovery of activity at 7 days. Results of ouabain inhibition curves suggested that the effect of tetrodotoxin was not specific for enzyme with high or low affinity for ouabain.
