Additivity of adrenaline and contractions on hormone‐sensitive lipase,but not on glycogen phosphorylase,in rat muscle

Aim: Hormone‐sensitive lipase (HSL) has been proposed to regulate triacylglycerol (TG) breakdown in skeletal muscle. In muscles with different fibre type compositions the influence on HSL of two major stimuli causing TG mobilization was studied. Methods: Incubated soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles from 70 g rats were stimulated by adrenaline (5.5 μm , 6 min) or contractions (200 ms tetani, 1 Hz, 1 min) in maximally effective doses or by both adrenaline and contractions. Results: Hormone‐sensitive lipase activity was increased significantly by adrenaline as well as contractions, and the highest activity (P < 0.05) was seen with combined stimulation [Soleus: 0.40 ± 0.03 (SE) m‐unit mg protein^?1 (basal), 0.65 ± 0.02 (adrenaline), 0.65 ± 0.03 (contractions), 0.78 ± 0.03 (adrenaline and contractions); EDL: 0.18 ± 0.01, 0.30 ± 0.02, 0.26 ± 0.02, 0.32 ± 0.01]. Glycogen phosphorylase activity was always increased more by adrenaline compared with contractions [Soleus: 60 ± 4 (a/a + b)% vs. 46 ± 3 (P < 0.05); EDL: 60 ± 5 vs. 39 ± 6 (P < 0.05)]. After combined stimulation glycogen phosphorylase activity in soleus [59 ± 3 (a/a + b)%] was identical to and in EDL [45 ± 4 (a/a + b)%] smaller (P < 0.05) than the activity after adrenaline only. Conclusions: In slow‐twitch oxidative as well as in fast‐twitch glycolytic muscle HSL is activated by both adrenaline and contractions. These stimuli are partially additive indicating at least partly different mechanisms of action. Contractions may impair the enhancing effect of adrenaline on glycogen phosphorylase activity in muscle.     

The fine structure and histochemistry of human bile duct in obstruction and choledocholithiasis

Biopsies from the common bile ducts from seven patients undergoing surgery for biliary obstruction due to stones or malignancy were studied histochemically and electron microscopically. The surface of the bile duct is lined by a tall epithelium which extends into diverticula. Apically, they contain some neutral and sialated mucosubstances. Fucosyl residues were found in the Golgi apparatus and along the apical cell membrane. The latter is lined by microvilli. There was a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus and a small number of apical secretory droplets. Large numbers of lipid droplets were present basally in some cells. Lipid-containing macrophages were also seen intra-epithelially and in the lamina propria. This suggests a possible pathway for lipid transport. The glands were lined by cuboidal cells, some containing much mucus--sulphated, sialated, and neutral with a basal nucleus. A well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus were found with abundant secretory droplets. The glandular epithelium contained lysozyme, alpha-1-antitrypsin, and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin. These may play a protective role. The lamina propria contained scattered smooth muscle cells amongst the fibroblasts and inflammatory cells.     

Regulation of T-cell receptor signalling by membrane microdomains

There is now considerable evidence suggesting that the plasma membrane of mammalian cells is compartmentalized by functional lipid raft microdomains. These structures are assemblies of specialized lipids and proteins and have been implicated in diverse biological functions. Analysis of their protein content using proteomics and other methods revealed enrichment of signalling proteins, suggesting a role for these domains in intracellular signalling. In T lymphocytes, structure/function experiments and complementary pharmacological studies have shown that raft microdomains control the localization and function of proteins which are components of signalling pathways regulated by the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR). Based on these studies, a model for TCR phosphorylation in lipid rafts is presented. However, despite substantial progress in the field, critical questions remain. For example, it is unclear if membrane rafts represent a homogeneous population and if their structure is modified upon TCR stimulation. In the future, proteomics and the parallel development of complementary analytical methods will undoubtedly contribute in further delineating the role of lipid rafts in signal transduction mechanisms.

Mitoxantrone: Propensity for free radical formation and lipid peroxidation — implications for cardiotoxicity

Summary Results of comparative studies on stimulation of the rates of cofactor consumption, superoxide generation and hydrogen peroxide production by mitoxantrone (Novantrone®; dihydroxyanthracenedione; MXN), ametantrone (AM), doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DNR) in the presence of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, NADH dehydrogenase, or rabbit hepatic microsomes have been reported. MXN and AM were substantially less effective in stimulating the rate of cofactor oxidation, superoxide formation or hydrogen peroxide production relative to the anthracyclines. In the presence of P-450 reductase, the rate of NADPH oxidation or superoxide generation produced by 100 M MXN or AM was only 15% and 2% respectively of that produced by 100 M anthracycline.The effects of MXN and AM on lipid peroxidation in hepatic microsomes, cardiac sarcosomes and cardiac mitochondria were determined and compared with those produced by ADM. MXN and AM at 50 M inhibited the basal rate of NADPH-dependent rabbit liver microsomal lipid peroxidation by 50%; in contrast, DOX enhanced the rate of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation by 2-and 2.5-fold at 100 and 200 M, respectively. Rabbit cardiac sarcosomal NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation was inhibited completely at 100 M anthracenedione. NADH-dependent lipid peroxidation in cardiac mitochondria was diminished by 50 M MXN and AM, whereas 50 M DOX produced a 2-fold stimulation in lipid peroxidation. The anthracenediones also effectively inhibited DOX-stimulated lipid peroxidation with 50% inhibition occurring at 4 M (MXN) and 6 M (AM). Moreover, both MXN and AM potently inhibited iron (100 M)-stimulated lipid peroxidation in rabbit hepatic microsomes with 80% inhibition produced by 15 M anthracenedione.These results are consistent with the diminished cardiotoxicity of mitoxantrone and ametantrone relative to DOX or DNR and may require a reassessment of the role of lipid peroxidation in the mechanism(s) of quinone antineoplastic agent-mediated cardiotoxicity.
