    Notes: Summary We measured endogenous digitalis-like factor (EDF) in rat plasma during acute saline infusion by two different procedures. Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity in the rat plasma significantly increased during saline loading (7.8±2.2 vs 2.5±0.9%, with and without acute saline loading, respectively, p〈0.05). On the other hand, the plasma digoxin-like immunoreactivity significantly decreased during acute saline loading (16.9±1.6 vs 32.0±2.8 pg digoxin equivalents/ml. with and without acute saline loading, respectively, p〈0.01). These results indicate that the major substances detected by digoxin-like immunoreactivity and direct Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity are completely different, at least in rat plasma.

    Notes: Summary The effects of adrenalectomy or nephrectomy, carried out one hour previously, on the levels of endogenous digitalis-like factors were determined in rat plasma. Factors were assayed by digoxin-like immunoreactivity and direct Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitory activity. Digoxin-like immunoreactivity significantly decreased one hour after bilateral ablation of adrenals, while Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitory activity remained unaltered. There were no changes in either activity one hour after bilateral nephrectomy. These results suggest that digoxin-like immunoreactivity may be derived from the adrenal gland or under adrenal control and the major substances detected by digoxin-like immunoreactivity and direct Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitory activity may be different.

    Notes: Summary The activities and expression of protein kinase C isoenzymes were examined in glomerular mesangial cells cultured under high glucose conditions. Exposure of cells to high glucose concentrations (27.8 mmol/l) for more than 3 days resulted in a significant elevation of protein kinase C activities in the membrane fraction. Of the protein kinase C isoenzymes, the levels of protein kinase C α significantly increased in the membrane fraction after 3 days of exposure to glucose, and protein kinase C ζ increased after 5 days of exposure. Levels of protein kinase C δ and ε remained unchanged and protein kinase C Β and γ were not detected. These results indicate that protein kinase C α and ζ are translocated under high glucose conditions possibly through different mechanisms.

    Notes: Abstract Prostaglandin (PG) has been reported to be one of the important protective factors in the gastric mucosa. However the mechanism of the regulation of endogenous PG production has not been well studied. We investigated the possible roles of Ca2+, cAMP, and protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of PGE2 release from cultured rabbit gastric mucosal cells. PGE2 was measured by radioimmunoassay. A23187 (Ca2+ ionophore) at 2×10−6 M significantly increased PGE2 release. Deprivation of Ca2+ from the medium blocked the A23187-induced increase of PGE2. TMB-8 (a putative inhibitor of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores) did not have any significant effects on the increase of PGE2-induced by A23187. Thus, A23187 increased PGE2 through the influx of extracellular Ca2+. W7 or compound 48/80 (calmodulin inhibitors) did not alter the response of PGE2 caused by A23187. Exogenous administration of cAMP, forskolin (an activator of adenylate cyclase), or 2-chloroadenosine (a possible activator of adenylate cyclase through adenosine A2 receptor) had neither significant effects on PGE2 release nor an effect on A23187-induced increase of PGE2 release. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA, an activator of PKC) significantly stimulated PGE2 release in a dose-dependent fashion, whereas another phorbol ester with no biological activity did not. A23187 at 0.8×10−6 M, but not cAMP, potentiated the TPA-induced increase of PGE2. Mepacrine (a phospholipase A2 inhibitor) reduced the A23187-and TPA-induced increase of PGE2. These results suggest that Ca2+ and protein kinase C may play important roles in the regulation of PGE2 release by cultured rabbit gastric cells.
