Carbonic anhydrase in skeletal and cardiac muscle from rabbit and rat.

ABSTRACT: We have studied the distribution of carbonic anhydrases (CA) in several skeletal muscles of the hindlimb of rabbits and rats and in cardiac muscle of the rabbit. To remove erythrocyte CA, hindlimbs and hearts were thoroughly perfused with dextran solution, and the effectiveness of the perfusion was in most cases assessed by determining the contamination of the muscles with radioisotopes that had been used to label the erythrocytes before the perfusion was started. We observed three forms of CA: (1) cytosolic (sulphonamide-resistant) CA III; (2) a cytosolic sulphonamide-sensitive CA, probably isoenzyme II; (3) a membrane-bound form that was extracted from the particulate fraction using Triton X-100. These CA isoforms were distributed as follows. (1) CA III is located in the cytoplasm of slow, oxidative skeletal muscles and is absent from or low in fast skeletal and cardiac muscle; this holds for rabbits and rats and is identical with the pattern previously described for several other species. (2) The cytosolic sulphonamide-sensitive CA is present in fast rabbit muscles and absent from slow muscles of this species. In contrast, all skeletal muscles of the rat studied here lack, or possess only very low, activity of this isoenzyme. (3) The membrane-bound form of CA is present in all rabbit muscles studied; its activity appears somewhat higher in fast than in slow skeletal muscles. (4) Cardiac muscle constitutes an exception among all striated muscles of the rabbit as it possesses no form of cytosolic CA but a high activity of the membrane-bound form.

Carbonic anhydrase C in white-skeletal-muscle tissue.

Project description:We investigated the activity of carbonic anhydrase in blood-free perfused white skeletal muscles of the rabbit. Carbonic anhydrase activities were measured in supernatants and in Triton extracts of the particulate fractions of white-skeletal-muscle homogenate by using a rapid-reaction stopped-flow apparatus equipped with a pH electrode. An average carbonic anhydrase concentration of about 0.5 microM was determined for white skeletal muscle. This concentration is about 1% of that inside the erythrocyte. Some 85% of the muscle enzyme was found in the homogenate supernatant, and only 15% appeared to be associated with membranes and organelles. White-skeletal-muscle carbonic anhydrase was characterized in terms of its Michaelis constant and catalytic-centre activity (turnover number) for CO2 and its inhibition constant towards ethoxzolamide. These properties were identical with those of the rabbit erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase C, suggesting that a type-C enzyme is present in white skeletal muscle. Affinity chromatography of muscle supernatant and of lysed erythrocytes showed that, whereas rabbit erythrocytes contain about equal amounts of carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes B and C, the B isoenzyme is practically absent from white skeletal muscle. Similarly, ethoxzolamide-inhibition curves suggested that white skeletal muscle contains no carbonic anhydrase A. It is concluded that white skeletal muscle contains essentially one carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme, the C form, most of which is probably of cytosolic origin.

The effects of aging on carbonic anhydrase concentrations in rat liver and skeletal muscle.

Project description:The isoenzymes carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) and III (CAIII) have been measured by radioimmunoassay in the livers of male and female rats aged from 21 to 800 days. No sexual dimorphism at 21 days was found, but from 50 to 400 days both isoenzymes show sexual differences. From 600 days onwards, these differences are less apparent. CAIII concentrations in two 'fast' fibre muscles and one 'slow' fibre muscle have been determined. There is no sexual dimorphism in muscle, but a wide variation between individuals was observed. Fast muscles show maximal CAIII levels at 800 days, whereas in slow muscle the concentration of the isoenzyme is declining at this time.

Induction of carbonic anhydrase III mRNA and protein by denervation of rat muscle.

Project description:Carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) protein and mRNA amounts in fast- and slow-twitch rat muscles were examined after resection of the sciatic nerve. Striking changes occur in the fast-twitch anterior tibialis (AT) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, where CAIII protein and mRNA are increased several-fold 16 days after denervation. The data suggest that these changes are regulated in part by changes in gene transcription and that they perhaps signal a fast-to-slow fibre type transition in these denervated muscles. AT and EDL show some differences in the effects of denervation, which are suggestive of variation in the timing of denervation-induced responses and/or the CAIII protein/mRNA turnover rates in the two muscles.

Carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes in the erythrocytes and uterus of the rabbit.

Project description:1. Two forms of the zinc-containing enzyme carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1) were isolated from rabbit erythrocytes and two forms from rabbit uterine tissue (endometrium) in the progestational stage of pregnancy (days 6-8 of gestation). Separation of the isoenzymes was achieved by ion-exchange chromatography, preparative polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. A comparison was made of the general properties and kinetic behaviour of the purified isoenzymes. 2. Although indistinguishable in terms of molecular weight and zinc content the isoenzymes were very different as catalysts of the hydration of carbon dioxide. The two erythrocyte isoenzymes, found in almost equal amounts, differed more than 100-fold in specific activity. Of the two isoenzymes prepared from either endometrial or entire uterine homogenates one was kinetically indistinguishable from the erythrocyte high-activity form, whereas the other, also possessing high activity, was found only in the endometrial or uterine tissue. Present evidence suggests that the former isoenzyme originated from residual blood contaminating the tissue homogenates, and that a marked rise in the content of the latter isoenzyme accounts for the increase in rabbit endometrial carbonic anhydrase activity that previously has been observed in early pregnancy. 3. Minor forms of the erythrocyte isoenzymes, having a characteristic quantitative and electrophoretic relationship to one another, were occasionally produced during purification. 4. The actions were investigated of the inhibitors acetazolamide (5-acetamido-3,4-diazole-1-thia-2-sulphonamide), 1,1-dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulphonamide and ethoxyzolamide (6-ethoxybenzothiazole-2-sulphonamide) on the hydration of carbon dioxide and the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate catalysed by the isoenzymes. 5. The low-activity erythrocyte isoenzyme was superior to the high-activity form as a catalyst of beta-naphthyl acetate hydrolysis.

Role of Carbonic Anhydrase in Cerebral Ischemia and Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors as Putative Protective Agents.

Project description:Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The only pharmacological treatment available to date for cerebral ischemia is tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and the search for successful therapeutic strategies still remains a major challenge. The loss of cerebral blood flow leads to reduced oxygen and glucose supply and a subsequent switch to the glycolytic pathway, which leads to tissue acidification. Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) is the enzyme responsible for converting carbon dioxide into a protons and bicarbonate, thus contributing to pH regulation and metabolism, with many CA isoforms present in the brain. Recently, numerous studies have shed light on several classes of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) as possible new pharmacological agents for the management of brain ischemia. In the present review we summarized pharmacological, preclinical and clinical findings regarding the role of CAIs in strokes and we discuss their potential protective mechanisms.

Acetazolamide-insensitive carbonic anhydrase activities in liver and tonic skeletal muscle of adult male rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus.

Project description:One of the four discrete isoenzymes of carbonic anhydrase hitherto characterized, CA III, has the lowest turnover rate and the greatest resistance to inhibition by sulphonamides. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus resulted in a reduction in acetazolamide-resistant activity of carbonic anhydrase in the liver, but not in tonic skeletal muscle, of adult male rats. The hepatic activity declined with apparent first-order kinetics [calculated rate constant (k) 0.089 day-1] to a minimum of approx. 6% of control values; the reduction in activity was moderated by administration of insulin.
