Activity-Dependent Adenosine Release May Be Linked to Activation of Na+-K+ ATPase: An In Vitro Rat Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the brain, extracellular adenosine increases as a result of neuronal activity. The mechanisms by which this occurs are only incompletely understood. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the Na(+) influxes associated with neuronal signalling activate the Na(+)-K(+) ATPase which, by consuming ATP, generates intracellular adenosine that is then released via transporters. By measuring adenosine release directly with microelectrode biosensors, we have demonstrated that AMPA-receptor evoked adenosine release in basal forebrain and cortex depends on extracellular Na(+). We have simultaneously imaged intracellular Na(+) and measured adenosine release. The accumulation of intracellular Na(+) during AMPA receptor activation preceded adenosine release by some 90 s. By removing extracellular Ca(2+), and thus preventing indiscriminate neuronal activation, we used ouabain to test the role of the Na(+)-K(+) ATPase in the release of adenosine. Under conditions which caused a Na(+) influx, brief applications of ouabain increased the accumulation of intracellular Na(+) but conversely rapidly reduced extracellular adenosine levels. In addition, ouabain greatly reduced the amount of adenosine released during application of AMPA. Our data therefore suggest that activity of the Na(+)-K(+) ATPase is directly linked to the efflux of adenosine and could provide a universal mechanism that couples adenosine release to neuronal activity. The Na(+)-K(+) ATPase-dependent adenosine efflux is likely to provide adenosine-mediated activity-dependent negative feedback that will be important in many diverse functional contexts including the regulation of sleep.

Purinergic Effects on Na,K-ATPase Activity Differ in Rat and Human Skeletal Muscle
BACKGROUND P2Y receptor activation may link the effect of purines to increased maximal in vitro activity of the Na,K-ATPase in rat muscle. The hypothesis that a similar mechanism is present in human skeletal muscle was investigated with membranes from rat and human skeletal muscle. RESULTS Membranes purified from rat and human muscles were used in the Na,K-ATPase assay. Incubation with ADP, t...

Background: Polarized cells are key to the process of differentiation. Xenopus oocyte is a polarized cell that has complete blue-print to differentiate 3 germ layers following fertilization, as key determinant molecules (Proteins and RNAs) are asymmetrically localized. The objective of this work was to localize Na+, K+-ATPase activity along animal-vegetal axis of polarized Xenopus oocyte and fo...
متن کاملOxidative Stress (Glutathionylation) and Na,K-ATPase Activity in Rat Skeletal Muscle
BACKGROUND Changes in ion distribution across skeletal muscle membranes during muscle activity affect excitability and may impair force development. These changes are counteracted by the Na,K-ATPase. Regulation of the Na,K-ATPase is therefore important for skeletal muscle function. The present study investigated the presence of oxidative stress (glutathionylation) on the Na,K-ATPase in rat skel...
متن کاملExercise-induced increase in maximal in vitro Na-K-ATPase activity in human skeletal muscle.
The present study investigated whether maximal in vitro Na-K-ATPase activity in human skeletal muscle is changed with exercise and whether it was altered by acute hypoxia. Needle biopsies from 14 subjects were obtained from vastus lateralis before and after 4 min of intense muscle activity. In addition, six subjects exercised also in hypoxia (12.5% oxygen). The Na-K-ATPase assay revealed a 19% ...
