    Notes: Summary We have studied the accumulation of inositol phosphates (InsP) due to depolarization. A particulate preparation of rat brain was introduced to rule out transmitter activated mechanisms and to allow free access for drugs of high molecular weights. Potassium depolarization doubled InsP within a few minutes. InsP accumulation depended on time and K+ concentration, and was affected neither by tetrodotoxin nor by atropine. Radioactive metabolites co-eluted with inositol mono-phosphate and inositol bis-phosphate, whereas only minor amounts appeared with inositol tris-phosphate. The content in phosphatidylinositols was decreased. No evidence was found for the involvement of a neurotransmitter. Sea anemone toxin II (around 1 μmol/l), which keeps the Na+-channels open, promoted the InsP accumulation in an atropine-resistant manner. Tetrodotoxin prevented it when given before, and inhibited it when given after initiation by sea anemone toxin II. Moreover the K+ channel blockers 4-aminopyridine, dendrotoxin and tetraethylammonium all caused InsP accumulation. Palytoxin was by far the most potent promoter of InsP accumulation with a detection limit below 10 pmol/l, and displayed a unique bell-shaped concentration-effect correlation. Ouabain (3 μmol/l) and above) also elicited the InsP accumulation. The response to carbachol was not only inhibited completely by atropine, but also partially (more than 50%) by tetrodotoxin, which indicates the involvement of voltage-dependent sodium channels in the receptor-triggered InsP accumulation. Thus independent of the causative agent, depolarization promotes an InsP accumulation. We conclude that degradation of phosphatidylinositols is mediated not only by receptor occupation but also by a positive shift in membrane voltage.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 1. Rinderserum ergab beim Umsatz mit Pepsin niedermolekulare, kininliefernde Spaltstücke. Das durch Fällung, Verteilung, Gelfiltration und Jonenaustausch-Chromatographie vorgereinigte Hydrolysat ließ sich durch Papierchromatographie in 2 Fraktionen trennen, auf die sich die kininliefernde Gruppierung im Verhältnis 5∶1 verteilte. 2. Beide kininliefernde Fraktionen waren resistent gegen Carboxypeptidase B, was gegen eine C-terminale Position der Kininsequenz spricht. Sie waren aktivierbar durch Trypsin, Pankreaskallikrein und auch Carboxypeptidase A. Trypsin in höherer Konzentration entwickelte aus der Hauptfraktion (L) Bradykinin, während mit Pankreaskallikrein, Carboxypeptidase A und kleinen Trypsinmengen Met-Lys-Bradykinin entstand. Die „direkte“ Aktivität der Fraktionen am Meerschweinchenileum lag bei maximal 1–2% der „indirekten“. 3. Aus der chromatographisch langsameren Hauptfraktion (L) wurde hoch-spannungselektrophoretisch ein einheitliches Minimalsubstrat für Kininogenasen isoliert. In seiner Aminosäurenanalyse entsprach es dem aus gereinigtem Rinderserum-Kininogen isolierten Hauptpeptid PKFL; auch beim Edman-Abbau ergaben sich keine Unterschiede. 4. Die früher für gereinigtes Kininogen beschriebenen Sequenzen sind also auch für Gesamtserum repräsentativ. Hinweise auf andersartige Peptide, insbesondere auf solche mit der Kininsequenz in C-terminaler Position, ergaben sich nicht.
    Notes: Summary 1. Peptic treatment of bovine serum produced kinin yielding substances of low molecular weight. The hydrolyzate was purified by precipitation, partition, gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. Subsequent paper chromatography revealed two fractions with a 5∶1 distribution of the kinin-yielding property. 2. Both kinin-yielding fractions were resistant to carboxypeptidase B, a finding which argues against a C-terminal position of the kinin sequence. They could be activated by trypsin, pancreatic kallikrein, and carboxypeptidase A. Higher concentrations of trypsin released bradykinin from the main fraction (L), whereas pancreatic kallikrein, carboxypeptidase A and low amounts of trypsin produced met-lysbradykinin. The “direct” activity of the fractions as measured on the guinea pig ileum was no more than 1–2% of the “indirect” activity. 3. A homogeneous minimal substrate was isolated from the chromatographically slower fraction L by high voltage electrophoresis. With respect to amino acid analysis and Edman degradation, it could not be distinguished from the peptide PKFL isolated from purified bovine kininogen. 4. Therefore, the sequences described previously in purified kininogen are also representative for whole serum. Evidence for different peptides, especially with the kinin sequence in C-terminal position, was not found.

    Notes: Summary In order to understand the symptomatology of generalized tetanus from the pharmacokinetics of the toxin, 125I-labelled toxin was injected i.v. in rats without and with antitoxin. 1. After a few hours latency, brain stem and spinal cord concentrate radioactive material up to the third day. The decline of radioactivity is very slow, semilogarithmic, and can be followed up to the 24th day after injection. In contrast, forebrain and cerebellum do not bind measurable radioactivity. Less than 1% of the radioactivity injected is found in the CNS. 2. The symptoms of tetanus start some time after the bulk of labelled toxin has been taken up by the CNS. They cease before all radioactivity has left it. 3. Antitoxin, given simultaneously, prevents the onset of symptoms and the uptake of radioactivity by the CNS. When given 10 h after labelled toxin, it nearly abolishes the fixation and still prevents the onset of symptoms. When given 48 h after toxin, it is nearly ineffective in both respects. Antitoxin first delays, then enhances the elimination of labelled toxin from the blood. 4. Labelled antitoxin is not enriched in the CNS. 5. The uptake of radioactivity into various parts of spinal cord corresponds well to their relative content in grey matter. 6. The pharmacokinetic behaviour of 125I-toxoid resembles that of toxin. However, in order to get measurable fixation to the CNS at least 50 times higher amounts are to be applied. It is concluded that the barrier between blood and CNS is practically impermeable to tetanus toxin. The results can be harmonized best with the assumption that generalized tetanus is nothing else than a multiple local tetanus.

    Notes: Summary 125I-labeled tetanus toxin was injected intravenously and intramuscularly in rats. Specific localisation within the spinal cord was obtained by histoautoradiography. 1. In generalized tetanus grain density was maximal in the ventral grey matter of spinal cord. The grains were closely correlated to the motoneurons and their neuropil. Other areas showed background activity only. 2. In local tetanus the injected side was labeled selectively. High grain density regularly covered a distinct group of motoneurons and their neuropil. 3. There is some evidence for intracellular accumulation of the toxin since the maximum of grain density was found over the perikarya whilst the nucleus corresponded to a minimum. 4. Cells yielding high grain density were less intensively stained with toluidine blue than neighbouring unlabeled cells. It is concluded from these experiments that tetanus toxin develops its action within or around selected motoneurons and that it induces morphological alterations there.

    Notes: Summary 0 1. Local tetanus was produced in rats by application of sublethal doses of 125I-tetanus toxin into the right m. gastrocnemius. Radioactivity was found in the lumbar part of the spinal cord for at least 24 days which is indicative of a long-lasting binding of toxin to its target organ. Radioactivity appears in the lumbar region before local tetanus becomes manifest. 2. The influence of antitoxin on both local tetanus and radioactivity of the lumbar cord heavily depends on the time of its application. When it is injected simultaneously into a foreleg, it prevents the symptoms and the spinal concentration process. When given ten hours after toxin, it does not change appreciably the severity of local tetanus; it diminishes, however, the radioactivity accumulating in the spinal cord. Antitoxin, given 48 hours after toxin, is ineffective in both respects. 3. 22 hours after application, about 9% of the initial radioactivity still persists in the injected leg; 50 hours after application, only 1–2% are still present. 4. Plasma radioactivity is measurable for between 50 and 96 hours in animals given 125I-toxin i.m. It is higher in animals having received antitoxin 10 hours after the toxin or simultaneously with toxin. 5. Labelled toxoid was prepared by formol treatment of labelled toxin. Following i.m. injection, toxoid was bound to a lesser degree and for a shorter time by the lumbar cord than was toxin. Like toxin, toxoid was found in the ipsilateral sciatic nerve, and simultaneous application of antitoxin prevented its appearance there as wells as in the lumbar cord. As with toxin, plasma radioactivity after injection of labelled toxoid was increased by simultaneous application of antitoxin into another leg. 6. It is concluded that antitoxin prevents the entrance of toxin into the spinal cord, but does neither remove nor detoxify appreciable amounts of radioactive material once fixed.

    Notes: Summary 1. Rat brain homogenate and synaptosomes from rat brain bind botulinum toxin. The binding is accompanied by partial inactivation. The binding decreases with increasing ionic strength. A considerable fixation of tetanus toxin can still be demonstrated under conditions which prevent the fixation of botulinum toxin. 2. Only the grey substance, not the white substance from bovine brain is able to bind the toxin. 3. Upon pretreatment with neuraminidase, synaptosomes lose nearly all of their binding capacity. However, neither gangliosides nor ganglioside-cerebroside mixtures nor brain extracts could replace the synaptosomes. Thus botulinum A toxin closely resembles tetanus toxin in its ability to react with (a) neuraminidase-sensitive site(s) of the grey matter of the CNS. It differs from tetanus toxin by its stronger sensitivity against ionic forces and by its failure to react with certain gangliosides.
