چکیده

It has previously been shown that addition of catecholamines to a suspension of trout erythrocytes induces an enlargement of the cells owing to an uptake of NaCl mediated by a cAMP-dependent, amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ exchange. In this article, we show that the change in cell volume induced by catecholamines is much greater when the erythrocytes are incubated in N2 than when they are in O2. This difference is explained by an inhibition of the cAMP-dependent Na+/H+ exchange by O2. The inhibition is not reversed in cells incubated in O2 but poisoned with cyanide. It cannot be explained by a difference in the content of cAMP in O2 and in N2. In a CO atmosphere, in which the cells are anoxic, swelling and Na permeability are not increased as they are in N2: in CO, the cells behave as they do in O2. Moreover, cells previously exposed to CO and then put in an N2 atmosphere do not show the expected increase in Na+/H+ exchange. This strongly indicates that the binding of CO to hemoglobin, which persists during the subsequent exposure to N2, is the primary event responsible for the inhibition. As CO substitutes for O2 in binding to hemoglobin, the effect of O2 in the control of Na+/H+ exchange is probably explained by this interaction with heme. (Allen and McManus [1968. Biophysical Journal. 8:125a] previously described a similar effect of CO on passive Na permeability in duck red cells.) It is proposed that the hemoglobin, by interacting differently, according to its degree of oxygenation, with the cytoplasmic segment of band 3 protein, may influence some transport function, such as Na+/H+ exchange. The physiological significance of a control of Na+/H+ exchange by molecular O2 is discussed.

Trout Erythrocytes and Its Effects upon Oxygen-carrying Capacity

Addition of adrenalin (10~moll~) to trout erythrocytes in an unbuffered saline resulted in a rapid acidification of the extracellular medium. This process was inhibited by amiloride (Ki/2~10~moll~) and by the removal of extracellular Na + . The rate of acidification was a saturable function of extracellular Na concentration. When extracellular pH was maintained constant by continual titration w...

The relationship between beta-adrenoceptors and adrenergic responsiveness in trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and eel (Anguilla rostrata) erythrocytes.

Experiments were performed in vitro specifically to elucidate the underlying mechanism(s) of the attenuated adrenergic responses of eel (Anguilla rostrata) erythrocytes. This was achieved by comparing beta-adrenoceptor numbers and affinities in addition to (i) Na+/H+ exchange activity, (ii) cell swelling and (iii) cyclic AMP formation mediated by catecholamines in eel and trout (Oncorhynchus my...

SHORT COMMUNICATION DOWN-REGULATION OF RED BLOOD CELL b-ADRENORECEPTORS IN RESPONSE TO CHRONIC ELEVATION OF PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE LEVELS IN THE RAINBOW TROUT

In many teleost fish, including the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, catecholamines are mobilized into the blood in situations when enhanced oxygen transport is necessary, such as hypoxia, anaemia, hypercapnia and strenuous exercise (see review by Thomas and Perry, 1992). These hormones initiate a series of integrated physiological responses that optimize cardiovascular and respiratory funct...

Blood parameters of Caspian brown trout (Salmo trutta caspius) fingerlings affected by dietary L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate as a dietary ascorbic acid source on blood parameters of Caspian brown trout (Salmo trutta caspius), including red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) and WBC differential. A total number of 600 Caspian brown trout (9.6±0.6 g) fingerlings were randomly distributed in triplicates among five treatments each conta...
