Melittin effect on transport of Na+ and Rb+(K+ analog) was examined in cultured skin fibroblasts originating from the Spontaneously Hypertensive, Wistar Kyoto and Wistar rats. Melittin increased both Na+ (22Na+) uptake and 86Rb+ efflux as well as the activity of the Na+-pump (ouabain sensitive 86Rb+ uptake) in all three preparations. The effect of the toxin was maximal at a dose of 160-240ng/10(5) cells/ml. At this dose, fibroblasts of the Spontaneously Hypertensive rat demonstrated the greatest response to melittin with respect to the increase in Na+ and Rb+ fluxes and increase in the intracellular Na+ concentrations. It is concluded that melittin can be utilized as a probe to delineate subtle differences in the cellular regulation of Na+ and K+ in the Spontaneously Hypertensive rat as compared with its normotensive controls.
研究了蜂毒肽对源自自发性高血压大鼠、Wistar Kyoto大鼠和Wistar大鼠的培养皮肤成纤维细胞中Na⁺和Rb⁺(K⁺类似物)转运的影响。在所有这三种细胞制剂中,蜂毒肽均增加了Na⁺(²²Na⁺)摄取、⁸⁶Rb⁺外流以及Na⁺泵活性(哇巴因敏感的⁸⁶Rb⁺摄取)。毒素的作用在剂量为160 - 240ng/10⁵细胞/ml时最大。在此剂量下,就Na⁺和Rb⁺通量增加以及细胞内Na⁺浓度升高而言,自发性高血压大鼠的成纤维细胞对蜂毒肽表现出最大反应。得出的结论是,与正常血压对照相比,蜂毒肽可用作一种探针来描绘自发性高血压大鼠细胞中Na⁺和K⁺细胞调节方面的细微差异。
