Long duration ischemia in hypothermic conditions followed by reperfusion alters membrane transport function and in particular Na,K-ATPase. We compared the protective effect of two well-described cardioplegic solutions on cardiac Na,K-ATPase activity during reperfusion after hypothermic ischemia. Isolated perfused rat hearts (n = 10) were arrested with CRMBM or UW cardioplegic solutions and submitted to 12 hr of ischemia at 4 degrees C in the same solution followed by 60 min of reperfusion. Functional recovery and Na,K-ATPase activity were measured at the end of reperfusion and compared with control hearts and hearts submitted to severe ischemia (30 min at 37 degrees C) followed by reflow. Na,K-ATPase activity was not altered after 12 hr of ischemia and 1 hr reflow when the CRMBM solution was used for preservation (55 +/- 2 micromolPi/mg prot/hr) compared to control (53 +/- 2 micromol Pi/mg prot/hr) while it was significantly altered with UW solution (44 +/- 2 micromol Pi/mg prot/hr, p < 0.05 vs control and CRMBM). Better preservation of Na,K-ATPase activity with the CRMBM solution was associated with higher functional recovery compared to UW as represented by the recovery of RPP, 52 +/- 12% vs 8 +/- 5%, p < 0.05 and coronary flow (70 +/- 2% vs 50 +/- 8%, p < 0.05). The enhanced protection provided by CRMBM compared to UW may be related to its lower K+ content.

Article Synopsis
- Cancer cells need more energy (ATP) to grow and survive, which can change how they take in and balance sodium ions in their bodies.
- The researchers used special methods to measure sodium levels and how fast cancer cells convert sugar into energy, comparing cancer cells to normal cells to see the differences.
- They found that when they blocked a specific pump that controls sodium balance (Na/K-ATPase), the cancer cells had more sodium and produced less energy, showing that sodium levels affect their energy production.

The physiological processes involved in adaptation to osmotic pressure in euryhaline crustaceans are highly energy demanding, but the effects of dietary lipids (fat) on low salinity adaptations have not been well evaluated. In the present study, a total of 120 mud crabs (, BW = 17.87 ± 1.

Article Synopsis
- SLC4A11 mutations are linked to various corneal dystrophies and associated conditions like Harboyan syndrome.
- Research on mice missing the Slc4a11 gene shows they develop issues similar to congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, emphasizing the protein's role in corneal health.
- Five specific SLC4A11 mutations were analyzed in a cell line, revealing that, while there were no significant differences in protein levels at the cell surface, all mutations led to reduced acidification and H ion currents compared to the wild type, indicating altered transport properties rather than protein trafficking issues.
Alzheimer's Toxic Amyloid Beta Oligomers: Unwelcome Visitors to the Na/K ATPase alpha3 Docking Station.

Toxic amyloid beta oligomers (AβOs) are known to accumulate in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in animal models of AD. Their structure is heterogeneous, and they are found in both intracellular and extracellular milieu. When given to CNS cultures or injected ICV into non-human primates and other non-transgenic animals, AβOs have been found to cause impaired synaptic plasticity, loss of memory function, tau hyperphosphorylation and tangle formation, synapse elimination, oxidative and ER stress, inflammatory microglial activation, and selective nerve cell death.

Our laboratory has recently demonstrated that low concentrations of ouabain increase blood pressure in rats associated with stimulation of NaK ATPase activity and activation of the Src signaling cascade in NHE1-dependent manner. Proteomic analysis of human kidney proximal tubule cells (HKC11) suggested that the Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) as an ouabain-associating protein. We hypothesize that ouabain-induced stimulation of NaK ATPase activity is mediated through AT1R.
