    Abstract:
    The selection and biochemical characterization of ouabain-resistant erythroleukemia cell lines are described. Treatment of ouabain-resistant Friend erythroleukemia cell (FLC) lines with 1 mM ouabain demonstrated a reduced ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+-uptake after Na+-preloading in comparison with ouabain-sensitive cells. The ouabain- and diuretic (piretanide)-insensitive component of the 86Rb+-uptake (residual influx) was significantly enhanced in the ouabain-resistant FLC clones. Measurements of the Na+,K+-ATPase activity (E.C. 3.6.1.3) in plasma membrane preparations of the ouabain-resistant FLC clone B6/2 indicated that a ouabain-resistant Na+,K+-ATPase activity of about 20% of the total enzyme activity existed in the presence of 1 mM ouabain. Further experiments showed that the Na+,K+-ion-gradient in ouabain-resistant B6/2 cells was unaffected by ouabain exposure whereas the gradient collapsed in wild type 12 N cells. Another property of the ouabain-resistant cell lines was a decrease of the 86Rb+-uptake due to the Na+,K+, 2Cl(-)-cotransport system measured as piretanide-sensitive 86Rb+-uptake. The data on ion transport mechanisms in QuaR and QuaS FLC are discussed with respect to mutagen-induced and spontaneous cellular ouabain resistance. In addition, the role of altered ion transport mechanisms is considered for induced erythroid differentiation.
