    Notes: Summary Alterations in the tumor adenine nucleotide pattern (TANP) have been measured at various times in a solid murine tumor undergoing haemorrhagic necrosis in vivo as a consequence of endotoxin administration. The ATP level fell rapidly in the first few hours; the AMP content initially rose, but began to fall back at 4 h. Overall adenine nucleotide losses occurred promptly, with only 4% of the original amount remaining at 24 h. Levels of glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, pyruvate, and lactate were also measured, and, with the exception of lactate, were for the most part lower in tumors from endotoxin-treated animals. Only minor alterations in the adenine nucleotide pattern were seen after either 4 or 24 h in the livers of normal or tumorbearing mice in response to endotoxin injection, even when the creatures were moribund. The changes reported in the tumor are believed to have arisen not as a result of capillary stasis, but from prompt and selective disturbances to mitochondrial function in the tumor which have been described previously (Jones, 1977b, 1979).

    Notes: Viable cell samples containing 93% pure granulocytes were obtained from human blood using the techniques of dextran sedimentation followed by centrifugal elutriation. The resting transmembrane potential (Em) of human granulocytes was estimated using the fluorescent lipophilic cation, Di-S-C3(5), from the null point for potassium - i.e., the external K concentration at which there is no change in Em in response to valinomycin (a K ionophore). The Em of human granulocytes, as calculated from the Nernst potential for K at the null point, is approximately - 100 mV. Data indicate that this large transmembrane potential is due in part to the presence of an electrogenic Na-K pump in human granulocytes which is stimulated by external potassium and inhibited by ouabain.

    Notes: Treatment of human granulocytes with concanavalin A, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), and A23187 (a calcium ionophore) stimulates the release of superoxide anion and the generation of chemiluminescence. The fluorescent probe, Di-S-C3(5), has been used to monitor shifts in membrane potential in response to these stimulants which precede the secretion of superoxide. Concanavalin A, PMA, and FMLP induce a biphasic shift in transmembrane potential (Em), i.e., a rapid depolarization followed by a prolonged hyperpolarization. This depolarization is dependent on both external sodium and calcium while the hyperpolarization is inhibited by ouabain which blocks the electrogenic Na-K pump. In contrast, A23187 induces a rapid and prolonged depolarization. This monophasic shift in Em is dependent on external calcium. These results suggest that depolarization acts as a signal to initiate events associated with the “respiratory burst” of these phagocytes.
