In the present study, we investigated the in vitro effect of hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid, metabolites accumulating in tissue of patients with Lesch-Nyhan disease, on Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity in striatum of neonate rats. Results showed that all compounds significantly inhibited Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity. We also studied the kinetics of the inhibition of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity caused by hypoxanthine. The apparent K(m) and V(max) of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity for ATP as the substrate and hypoxanthine as the inhibitor were 0.97 mM and 0.69 nmol inorganic phosphate (Pi) released per min per mg of protein, respectively. K(i)-value was 1.9 microM, and the inhibition was of the non-competitive type. We also observed that the inhibitory effects of hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid probably occur through the same mechanism, suggesting a common binding site for these oxypurines on Na(+), K(+)-ATPase. Therefore, it is conceivable that inhibition of brain Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity may be involved at least in part in the neuronal dysfunction characteristic of patients with Lesch-Nyhan disease.
在本研究中,我们调查了次黄嘌呤、黄嘌呤和尿酸(莱施-奈恩病患者组织中积累的代谢产物)对新生大鼠纹状体中Na(+)、K(+)-ATP酶活性的体外作用。结果显示,所有化合物均显著抑制Na(+)、K(+)-ATP酶活性。我们还研究了次黄嘌呤对Na(+)、K(+)-ATP酶活性抑制的动力学。以ATP为底物、次黄嘌呤为抑制剂时,Na(+)、K(+)-ATP酶活性的表观K(m)和V(max)分别为0.97 mM和每分钟每毫克蛋白质释放0.69 nmol无机磷酸(Pi)。抑制常数(K(i))值为1.9 microM,抑制作用为非竞争性类型。我们还观察到,次黄嘌呤、黄嘌呤和尿酸的抑制作用可能通过相同机制发生,这表明这些氧嘌呤在Na(+)、K(+)-ATP酶上有一个共同的结合位点。因此,可以想象,脑Na(+)、K(+)-ATP酶活性的抑制可能至少部分参与了莱施-奈恩病患者的神经元功能障碍。
