4-OH-2,3-trans-nonenal (HNE), a major aldehydic lipid peroxidation product, has been shown to cause cellular toxicities and has been linked to a number of pathophysiological processes including atherogenesis. Specifically, in vitro exposure of erythrocyte plasma membrane preparations to HNE resulted in the inhibition of membrane transport function and integrity. To characterize the nature of the inhibitory effects of HNE on plasma membrane regulatory mechanisms, we investigated its effects on substrate and calmodulin (CaM) stimulation on erythrocyte Ca2+ transport and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activities. Concentration-effect relationship analysis in erythrocyte membrane "ghosts" and inside-out vesicles (IOVs) yielded purely noncompetitive kinetics for Ca2+, ATP, and CaM activation of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and Ca2+ transport. Reductions of Vmax from direct addition of 0.1 mM HNE to the assay incubation mixtures ranged from 23 to 41%. Similarly, pretreatment with HNE of both membrane ghosts and IOVs resulted in a concentration-dependent inactivation of ATPase and transport activities without changes in affinity for Ca2+, ATP, or CaM. Conversely, pretreatment of CaM itself did not impair its ability to stimulate (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity threefold. Moreover, HNE-pretreated membranes exhibited unaltered acetylcholinesterase activity compared to sham-pretreated membranes. Together, these results suggest that HNE may structurally, and thus irreversibly, modify one or more functionally important sites on the transport protein itself.

This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which Zn retards Fe toxicity by analyzing the morphological, photosynthetic, and chloroplast physiological parameters of wheat seedlings treated with either single or combined Zn and Fe. Different behavior of the seedlings was observed under untreated and treated conditions. The most discriminating quantitative traits were associated with leaf area, biomass dry mass and fresh mass, net photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO concentration, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate of seedlings, Hill reaction, Mg-ATPase and Ca-ATPase activities, malondialdehyde and O contents, and glutathione reductase, ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase activities and their gene expression in the seedling chloroplast.

Under NaHCO stress, exogenous 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) markedly alleviated Na accumulation in cucumber plants, thereby decreasing the Na/K, Na/Mg, and Na/Ca ratios. This mitigation was accompanied by elevated concentrations of K, Ca, and Mg, as well as enhanced expression of the and genes. In addition, the activities of plasma membrane H-ATPase, vesicular membrane H-ATPase, and vesicular membrane H-PPase were significantly increased, contributing to the maintenance of ionic balance in cucumber plants.

Tetrachlorantraniliprole (TCTP) is a novel bisamide insecticide and widely used to protect against lepidopteran insect species. However, the application of TCTP in rice fields often leads to water pollution, posing threats to aquatic organisms and potentially to human health. Few studies have assessed the toxic effects of TCTP on aquatic animals.

Background: In recent years, titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in various industries due to their favorable chemical properties, and their contamination of the environment has attracted much attention, especially to aquatic animals.
Methods: Therefore, we assessed the impact of TiO NPs (5 mg/L) on the marine bivalve, pearl oyster (), especially gill metabolism. Pearl oysters were exposed to seawater containing 5 mg/L TiO NPs for 14 days, followed by 7 days of recovery in untreated seawater.

Colorectal cancer is influenced by genetic mutations, lifestyle factors, and diet, particularly high fat intake, which raises bile acid levels in the intestinal lumen. This study hypothesized that bile acids contribute to tumorigenesis by disrupting ion transport and ATPase activity in the intestinal mucosa. The effects of 3-sulfo-taurolithocholic acid (TLC-S) on ATPase activity were investigated in colorectal cancer samples from 10 patients, using adjacent healthy tissue as controls, and in rodent liver function.
