Previous studies have shown that in the kidney gastric HKA (HKA alpha 1) predominates under normal dietary conditions while colonic HKA (HKA alpha 2) predominates under potassium depleted conditions [1]. The purpose of the current study was to elucidate the association between the beta and different alpha subunits from stomach, colon and kidney under normal and potassium depleted conditions. Black Swiss mice were fed a potassium-free diet for 2 weeks, beta subunit expression of HKA in stomach mucosae, colon mucosae and renal outer medulla was examined and compared between normal diet and potassium depleted diet. In wild type (WT) mice, the concentrations of the beta subunit under potassium deficient conditions were found significantly increased compared with normal dietary conditions in colon mucosae (8.27 ± 0.73 vs 6.62 ± 0.55 μg/μl, n = 7, p = 0.0416), whereas in cHKA (HKA alpha 2) mice colon mucosae, the concentrations of the beta subunit were statistically the same (5.05 ± 0.31 vs 4.76 ± 0.37 μg/μl, n = 13, p = 0.2833), and the concentration of the beta subunit stayed the same in renal outer medulla and stomach mucosae as well. The data indicate that potassium deficiency results in a significant increase in the levels of HKA beta subunit concentration in the colonic tissue of WT mice. The results indicate that the HKA beta subunit associates with the cHKA (HKA alpha 2) in order to mediate bicarbonate reabsorption under potassium depletion (hypokalemia)展开更多

The results show that weight gain in the salinity fluctuation treatments was better than that in control; in particular, the weight gain of treatments S4 and SO, at 231.8% and 196.3%, respectively, was significantly different （P〈0.05）. The hemolymph osmolarity of treatments SO, S2, S4, S6 and S8 was 635.4, 630.8, 623.6, 614.4 and 600.3 mOsm/kg, respectively, and decreased with increasing salinity fluctuation amplitude. The level of Na＋-K＋-ATPase activity in gills ofE chinensis was higher than that in hepatopancreas, but there were no significant differences among all treatments, either in gills or hepatopancreas （P〉0.05）. The relative level of Hsp70 in treatment $4 was 48.4% and 40.4% higher than control in muscle and eyestalks, respectively, with the highest values being recorded under a salinity fluctuation amplitude of 4.展开更多

The changes of neuronal ultrastructure were revealed with transmission electron microscope (TEM)examination. The results showed that the activity of Na+ -K+ -ATPase in the cerebral cortex reduced significantly (P<0. 01).The contents of Na+ and water in the cerebral cortex increased evidently (P<0.01).The damage of cortical neurons and neuronal swelling were very obvious under TEM.The experimental findings suggest that the depression of Na+-K+-ATPase activity and metabolic disorders of Na+ and K+ in the brain tissue might be an important factor for the occurrence and development of high altitude cerebral edema.展开更多

[Method] 900 healthy catfish （1.4 ±0.08 g of average weight） were randomly divided into five groups. Dietary phospholipids level of group PL0 was 0%, and 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% for group PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, respectively. The experiment lasted for 56 days. [Result] The results showed that the Na＋ -K＋ -ATPase activity in gill decreased gradually with the increase of the dietary phospholipids level （ P 〈0.05）. Cell membrane fatty acid composition was affected significantly by dietary phospholipids. The content of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids of group PLO was the highest （ P 〈 0.05）, however, it had the lowest content of highlyunsatu- rated fatty acids （ P 〈 0.05）. The content of polyunsaturated fatty acids of group 3 was higher than group 0 and group 1 （ P 〈 0.05）. E Conclusion] The results indicated that there is obvious compensation effects on Na＋ -K＋ -ATPase activity with phospholipids content changes in gills of catfish （ Pangasius sutchi） to maintain stable physiological level and normal basal metabolism and the increase of HUFA and ∑PUFA is necessary for gill cell membrane to better maintain and perform normal physiological function.展开更多

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the proliferation and cell growth capacity of lidocaine on human gingival fibroblast cells and the different signal pathways involved in its effect. Method: For this purpose in vitro cultures of human gingival fibroblasts were assayed and the effects of lidocaine on proliferation and cell DNA synthesis, Na+-K+-ATPase and PKC activities and K+ efflux were also evaluated. Results: Lidocaine stimulated in a concentration-dependent manner proliferation and cell growth of human gingival cells and the mechanism involve an increment in Na+-K+-ATPase and PKC activities, which led to an increase in K+ release. All of these effects were blocked by tetrodotoxin, ouabain and calphostin C. In addition, PMA (activator of PKC) increased per se the DNA synthesis of human gingival fibroblast cells. Conclusions: This work demonstrates that lidocaine increase human gingival fibroblasts DNA synthesis and proliferation through an activation of PKC pathway accompanied by the stimulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity with an increase in K+ efflux. These results contribute to showing another action of lidocaine different to its general use as a drug that relieves odontologic pain or acts as an anti-arrithmogenic agent.展开更多
