    Journal: Am J Physiol; 1988 Feb; 254(2 Pt 1):C330-7. PubMed ID: 2831728.
    Abstract:
    A partially purified, membrane-bound Na+-K+-ATPase fraction, prepared from the outer medulla of porcine kidney, was incubated in the presence of 0.1 mM FeCl3, 1 mM ADP, and 0.1-100 mM H2O2 for either 15 or 30 min at 37 degrees C. The activity of ouabain-sensitive Na+-K+-ATPase was reduced proportionally to the concentration of H2O2 and the duration of incubation. There were decreases in SH contents and turnover rates of the Na+-K+-ATPase preparation, while malondialdehyde (MDA) and conjugated dienes were generated from the membrane lipids in the course of the incubation. The concentrations of ethanolamine (E) plasmalogen and of arachidonic acid in the E glycerophospholipid molecules were reduced by the free radical reaction. Similarly, a reduction in Na+-K+-ATPase activity and the formation of MDA and conjugated dienes, together with a decrease in E glycerophospholipids, were observed when the membrane fraction was exposed to ultraviolet irradiation (254 nm) for 30 min at 4 degrees C. Administration of 10 mM dithiothreitol alleviated the reductions in enzyme activity, in turnover rate, and in SH content without suppressing MDA formation. Addition of 2 mM butylated hydroxytoluene to the incubation mixture prevented the lipid peroxidation without totally normalizing the enzyme activity in the H2O2 experiment, whereas this antioxidant restored the ATPase activity to normal in the ultraviolet experiment. Microsomal fractions, prepared from the outer medulla of canine kidney after 1 h of unilateral ischemia and 1 h of reperfusion, showed a decreased Na+-K+-ATPase activity, a reduced amount of SH groups, and an increased MDA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
