Stimulation of calcium-ATPase activity by 3,5,3'-tri-iodothyronine in rat thymocyte plasma membranes. A possible role in the modulation of cellular calcium concentration.

چکیده
We have previously demonstrated that 3,5,3'-tri-iodo-L-thyronine (T3) produces a very rapid and transient increase in calcium uptake and cytoplasmic free calcium concentration in the rat thymocyte, and have postulated that Ca2+-ATPase may contribute to the overall effect of T3 on cellular calcium metabolism. In the present study, we show that in the rat thymocyte, T3 increased plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity. This effect of T3 was very rapid, seen at 30 s after the addition of the hormone, and was concentration-related, evident at a physiological concentration as low as 1 pM. Evaluation of the effect of several thyronine analogues on Ca2+-ATPase activity revealed the following order of potency: D-T3 greater than or equal to 3'-isopropyl-L-T2 = L-T3 = L-T4 = D-T4 greater than L-rT3 greater than 3,5-L-T2 greater than DL-thyronine. Studies with the calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine demonstrated that thymocyte Ca2+-ATPase activity and its stimulation by T3 are influenced by calmodulin. Other studies showed that several adrenergic agents, agonists and antagonists, had no effect on thymocyte Ca2+-ATPase activity and its stimulation by T3. From these and previous observations, we would suggest that in the rat thymocyte, the T3-induced increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity, which enhances the expulsion of calcium from the cell, plays a role in the diminution and transiency of the stimulatory effect of T3 on thymocyte calcium metabolism.

The present experiments were designed to explore the mechanism whereby 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) stimulates the uptake of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) in rat thymocytes in vitro. Addition of T3 evoked a transient, dose-related increase in cellular cyclic (c) AMP concentrations, evident within 5 min. followed soon by an increase in 2-DG uptake. The effects of T3 on both cAMP concentration and 2-D...
متن کاملCalcium-Binding Properties and ATPase Activities of Rat Liver Plasma Membranes
Plasma membranes from rat liver purified according to the procedure of Neville bind calcium ions by a concentration-dependent, saturable process with at least two classes of binding sites. The higher affinity sites bind 45 nmol calcium/mg membrane protein with a K(D) of 3 microM. Adrenalectomy increases the number of the higher affinity sites and the corresponding K(D). Plasma membranes exhibit...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of thyroid gland activity modulation (Hyper or hypothyroidism) on energy utilization in broiler chickens. Two hundred and forty one-day-old Cobb broiler chicks were distributed into three dietary metabolizable energy (ME) treatment groups (80 chicks each). The control group (E0) was fed basal diet (3150 kcal/kg diet), the second group (E1) w...

Background: Oocyte maturation is usually defined as the period of progression from the first to the second meiotic arrest and involves coordinated nuclear and cytoplasmic modification. Ca2+ signals are known as important regulators of oocyte maturation. Extracellular Ca2+ is important for first polar body formation, normal meiosis kinetics, and for preserving the chromosome and spindle configur...
