2986257 Weglicki WB, Kramer JH, Kennett FF, Knauer TE, Owens K: Perturbations of sarcolemmal and microsomal enzymes by amphiphilic lipids and drugs. Adv Myocardiol. 1985;6:127-36.
Sarcolemmal (SL) and microsomal (MC) membranes were prepared from adult canine cardiocytes. SL Na+, K+-ATPase (2.35 mumole/min per mg) was enriched 117-fold over the homogenate and MC rotenone-insensitive NADH cytochrome c reductase (RINCR) was enriched 41-fold. Preincubation of SL with 50 microM arachidonyl-CoA (20:4 CoA) stimulated Na+, K+-ATPase almost 2-fold; 250 microM 20:4 CoA inhibited the enzyme by 85%. However, RINCR was inhibited 80% by only 0.2 microM 20:4 CoA. Thus, each of these myocardial lipid-dependent enzymes showed a different sensitivity to perturbation by lipid amphiphiles. In further experiments, SL preincubated with 50 microM 20:4 CoA + 2.5 mM propranolol (which had no effect alone) exhibited a synergistic inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase: The enzymatic activity declined 8.5-fold when compared to sarcolemma treated with 50 microM 20:4 CoA alone. Thus, the presence of lipid amphiphiles may result in greater inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase when propranolol is present in the membrane.
