Serum stimulates the Na+,K+ pump in quiescent fibroblasts by increasing Na+ entry.

چکیده
Two ionophores (monensin and gramicidin) that carry Na+ into 3T3 cells markedly enhance the rate of 86Rb+ uptake. Ouabain prevents both ionophores from increasing 86Rb+ uptake, indicating that the ionophores activate the Na+,K+ pump. Measurements of 86Rb+ uptake and cell Na+ and K+ over a range of monensin concentrations show that the activity of the Na+,K+ pump in 3T3 cells is limited by the supply of internal Na+ and is extremely sensitive to small changes in internal Na+. Serum rapidly enhances the rate of 22Na+ uptake and net Na+ entry when Na+ exit is inhibited by ouabain. At 0.3 microgram/ml, monensin increases the rate of net Na+ entry and activates the Na+,K+ pump by the same degree as serum. The stimulation of 86Rb+ uptake by serum or the ionophores has an absolute requirement for external Na+. Thus, serum appears to stimulate the Na+,K+ pump in quiescent 3T3 cells by increasing its supply of Na+.

Early events elicited by bombesin and structurally related peptides in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. II. Changes in Na+ and Ca2+ fluxes, Na+/K+ pump activity, and intracellular pH
The amphibian tetradecapeptide, bombesin, and structurally related peptides caused a marked increase in ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake (a measure of Na+/K+ pump activity) in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. This effect occurred within seconds after the addition of the peptide and appeared to be mediated by an increase in Na+ entry into the cells. The effect of bombesin on Na+ entry and Na+/K+ pump ac...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor induces electrically silent Na+ influx in human fibroblasts.
Addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to quiescent confluent cultures of human foreskin fibroblasts causes a rapid, nearly 2-fold stimulation of unidirectional Na+ influx and a doubling of the rate of the Na+,K+ pump, whereas K+ efflux remains unaltered. The diuretic amiloride, an inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange, completely blocks EGF-induced Na+ influx, Na+,K+-pump activity, and DNA synthesis...
متن کاملInsulin increases the turnover rate of Na+-K+-ATPase in human fibroblasts.
Insulin stimulates K+ transport by the Na+-K+-ATPase in human fibroblasts. In other cell systems, this action represents an automatic response to increased intracellular [Na+] or results from translocation of transporters from an intracellular site to the plasma membrane. Here we evaluate whether these mechanisms are operative in human fibroblasts. Human fibroblasts expressed the alpha(1) but n...
متن کاملSerum rapidly stimulates ouabain-sensitive 86-RB+ influx in quiescent 3T3 cells.
Serum causes a 4-fold increase in 86Rb+ (a K+ tracer) influx in quiescent 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. It is one of the earliest changes caused by serum, being seen in 2 min and reaching a maximum in 10 min. Removal of serum causes rapid reversal of this effect. Serum acts mainly by increasing the maximum velocity, Vmax, of entry. Ouabain inhibits entry of 86Rb+ (82-90%) both in the presence and...
متن کاملIncreased ouabain-sensitive 86Rubidium uptake after mitogenic stimulation of quiescent chicken embryo fibroblasts with purified multiplication-stimulating activity
Multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA), a protein which stimulates DNA synthesis and growth of chicken embryo fibroblasts, was purified from serum-free medium conditioned by the growth of a rat liver cell line. Purified MSA was shown to rapidly stimulate ouabain-sensitive Na+, K+-ATPase activity as measured by both enzyme assay and rate of 86Rubidium uptake. Labeled ouabain binding was also ...
