Effects of superoxide radicals on transport (Na+K) adenosine triphosphatase and protection by superoxide dismutase

Abstract: Membrane (Na +K)ATPase isolated from rat brain was preincubated in a medium in which superoxide radicals were generated enzymatically. Exposure to superoxide radicals caused an irreversible inactivation, which could be prevented by further addition of superoxide dismutase. (Na + K)ATPase was also protected by addition of allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, during preincubation. The K-activated nitrophenylphosphatase associated with (Na + K)ATPase was also found to be inactivated by preincubation with su… Show more

“…Watson and Ginsberg, 1989) and for the long-term changes in Na,K-ATPase kinetic properties seen in the reperfusion (Stojanovic et al, 1988). Both free radicals and arachidonic acid have been shown to cause a protracted inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase in tissues and cells (Hexum and Fried, 1979;Stahl, 1986;Stanimirovic et al, 1995b) and reduction of glutamate uptake into the astrocytes (Barbour et al, 1989;Voltera et al, 1994) independent of their effects on Na,KATPase. The present study demonstrates that the predominant functional effect of sublethal ischemia-like insults in neonatal rat astrocyte cultures is the simultaneous stimulation of both the glutamate uptake and sodium pump activity.…”

“…Peroxy radicals abstract hydrogen from adjacent fatty acid chains, thereby propagating the lipid peroxidation process. Free radicals also attack the Na + , K + -ATPase [19], which already malfunctioned due to decreased ATP levels under anoxia, leading to ionic imbalance. Thus, the disappearance of the ERG immediately after retinal ischemia is thought to be partly due to oxygen free radicals.…”

“…This may reflect the normalization (reduction) of free radical generation, and maximal tissue recovery. Also, it is known that oxyradicals decrease (Na++K+)-ATPase activity (Sun, 1972;Hexum and Fried, 1979;Kovachich and Mishra, 1981). However, at 7 d in the primary ischemic area, (Na + +K+)-ATPase losses do not recover, indicative of irreversible membrane damage (Mahadik et al, 1992) and cell death (Siesjo, 1981).…”
