    Notes: Abstract Exposure of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes for 3 days to the muscarinic cholinoceptor agonist carbachol led to a concentration-dependent increase in adenylyl cyclase stimulation by the \-adrenoceptor agonist isoproterenol by up to 115% (at 1 mmol/l carbachol). In addition, direct adenylyl cyclase stimulation by forskolin was increased in carbachol (1 mmol/l)-treated cells by 32010. Pretreatment of the rat cardiomyocytes with pertussis toxin, which enhances adenylyl cyclase activity by a functional inactivation of the inhibitory G-protein (Gi), was performed to investigate the possible role of Gi proteins in carbachol-induced sensitization of adenylyl cyclase stimulation. After pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin, the carbachol-mediated increase in forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity was lost and the carbachol-mediated increase in \-adrenoceptor-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity was attenuated. Labelling of the 40 kDa pertussis toxin substrates in cardiomyocyte membranes was decreased by carbachol in a concentration-dependent manner by up to 34010 (at 1 mmol/l carbachol). The number and affinity of \1-adrenoceptors was unaltered following the chronic carbachol treatment. The specific protein synthesis inhibitor Pseudomonas exotoxin A was used to study whether the carbachol-induced decrease in the level of pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins and increase in adenylyl cyclase activity depend on de-novo protein synthesis. Pseudomonas exotoxin A inhibits peptide chain elongation by ADP-ribosylating elongation factor 2. Treatment of the cells with 1 ng/ml Pseudomonas exotoxin A for 3 days led to a reduction in the subsequent ADP-ribosylation of elongation factor 2 in the cytosol of the heart muscle cells by 57%. Exposure of the cells to 1 mmol/l carbachol for 3 days increased ADP-ribosylation of elongation factor 2 by 40% concomitant with a slight (about 20%) increase in the total protein content of the cardiomyocytes. The partial protein synthesis inhibition by Pseudomonas exotoxin A had no influence on the carbachol-induced decrease in the level of pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins. Similarly, the carbachol-induced increase in adenylyl cyclase responsiveness also remained unaltered by Pseudomonas exotoxin A. The data presented indicate that chronic muscarinic cholinoceptor agonist treatment decreases the level of α-subunits of Gi- proteins. This decrease in Giα- subunits is apparently at least in part responsible for the observed increase in adenylyl cyclase responsiveness after chronic carbachol treatment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le cas d'un homme de 53 ans qui avait présenté une plaie pénétrante de la poitrine lors de la deuxième guerre mondiale est rapporté. Trente quatre ans plus tard une fistule artérioveineuse pulmonaire consécutive à cette blessure fut découverte et traitée par simple suture. La revue de la littérature montre que ce cas représente la cinquième observation de fistule artério-veineuse post-traumatique et le premier cas de succès obtenu sans résection pulmonaire, par simple suture.
    Notes: Abstract The case of a 53-year-old man who suffered from a penetrating chest injury in World War II is reported. Thirty-four years later, an arteriovenous pulmonary fistula arising from this injury was diagnosed and closed by direct suture. A review of the literature indicates that this is the fifth case of a pulmonary fistula of traumatic origin, and the first case in which such a fistula has been successfully closed without resection of lung tissue.

In addition, direct adenylyl cyclase stimulation by forskolin was increased in carbachol (1 mmol/l)-treated cells by 32%. Pretreatment of the rat cardiomyocytes with pertussis toxin, which enhances adenylyl cyclase activity by a functional inactivation of the inhibitory G-protein (Gi), was performed to investigate the possible role of Gi-proteins in carbachol-induced sensitization of adenylyl cyclase stimulation. After pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin, the carbachol-mediated increase in forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity was lost and the carbachol-mediated increase in β-adrenoceptor-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity was attenuated. Labelling of the 40 kDa pertussis toxin substrates in cardiomyocyte membranes was decreased by carbachol in a concentration-dependent manner by up to 34% (at 1 mmol/l carbachol). The number and affinity of β 1-adrenoceptors was unaltered following the chronic carbachol treatment. The specific protein synthesis inhibitor Pseudomonas exotoxin A was used to study whether the carbachol-induced decrease in the level of pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins and increase in adenylyl cyclase activity depend on de-novo protein synthesis. Pseudomonas exotoxin A inhibits peptide chain elongation by ADP-ribosylating elongation factor 2. Treatment of the cells with 1 ng/ml Pseudomonas exotoxin A for 3 days led to a reduction in the subsequent ADP-ribosylation of elongation factor 2 in the cytosol of the heart muscle cells by 57%.

    Notes: Summary It has been reported that during chronic treatment with digitalis, the number of digitalis binding sites is increased in human erythrocytes [22]. From this finding a tachyphylaxis for cardiac glycosides has been postulated. We reinvestigated this problem in several groups of patients. The number of3H-ouabain binding sites per erythrocyte in control persons (group I) was 214±60,n=43 (x±SD). The dissociation constant (KD) was 1.8±0.5 nM. Thirteen patients (group II) taking cardiac glycosides only, for at least 6 months, had 281±99 (p〈0.05) ouabain binding sites per single red cell, KD=1.8±0.7 nM. Group III (34 patients) took digitalis for more than 6 months and diuretics for at least 3 months (352±126 (p〈0.001), KD=1.6±0.6). Twenty-three of these (group IV) were taking a combination with “K+-saving” diuretics (336±194 (p〈0.01), KD=1.6±0.5) and (group V, 11 patients) a combination with “K+-losing” diuretics (462±133 (p〈0.001), KD=1.4±0.4). Nine patients (group VI) had a chronic hypokalemia, mainly due to taking furosemide (437±98 (p〈0.001), KD=1.5±0.4). Four control persons took 50 mg hydrochlorothiazide daily for more than 4 months without measurable K+-losses and without changes in ouabain binding sites. It is concluded from these findings that diuretic treatment with chronic hypokalemia in addition to digitalis is accompanied by a significant increase in ouabain binding sites in human red cells. Although the difference between control persons and those taking cardiac glycosides only, is statistically significant (p〈0.05), the biological relevance is questionable because of considerable overlap of the values. Receptor affinity was unchanged under all circumstances. A change in the number of ouabain binding sites — if occurring also in the heart — may go along with an altered digitalis sensitivity.

    Notes: Summary In cultured heart muscle cells from 10–13 day-old chicken embryos, the effects of acute (4 h) and chronic (3 days) exposure of the cells to varying concentrations of ouabain have been studied. In these cells, the cardiac glycoside ouabain binds to a specific cardiac glycoside receptor (KD=4 × 10−7 M; 750,000 receptors/cell). Binding to this receptor results in inhibition of active Na+/K+-transport [EC50 for active (86Rb+ + K+)-influx=4 × 10−6 M], and in an increase in beating velocity (“positive inotropic effect”;; EC50=4 × 10−7 M); toxic signs (arrhythmias) appear at concentrations ≥ 6 × 10−7 M. During exposure of the cells to 3 × 10−6 M ouabain for 3 days, tolerance develops with respect to both the positive inotropic and the toxic effect. The mechanism underlying this tolerance is identified as an increase in the number of active sodium pump molecules per cell, while the binding properties of the cardiac glycoside receptor remain unchanged. The development of cardiac glycoside tolerance is only observed in the presence of severe impairment of Na+/K+-homeostasis, due to cardiac glycoside-induced inhibition of active Na+/K+-transport. This, however, only occurs in the presence of toxic (receptor occupation ≥ 60%), but not in the presence of positive inotropic, non-toxic (receptor occupation 20–60%), ouabain concentrations. We conclude that the development of cardiac glycoside tolerance during long-term treatment in patients with heart failure should not occur with submaximal dose regimens, when toxic signs (arrhythmias) are absent.
