Inhibition of protein degradation in isolated rat hepatocytes.
1. Isolated parenchymal cells were prepared by collagenase perfusion of livers from fed rats that had been previously injected with [(3)H]leucine to label liver proteins. When these cells were incubated in a salts medium containing glucose, gelatin and EDTA, cellular integrity was maintained over a period of 6h. 2. Cells incubated in the presence of 2mm-leucine to minimize radioactive isotope r...
متن کاملAutophagy and protein degradation in isolated rat hepatocytes.
Secondly, a battery of monospecific (or monoclonal) antibodies could in principle be capable of mapping out domains on the surface of the protein. The tendency of the antigenic sites to remain associated during catabolism of a protein would define the sites of cleavage, extensive degradation would be defined by a progressive dissociation of the antigenic sites, probably best detected by immunob...
متن کاملMetabolism and Cytotoxic Mechanisms of Nitroglycerin in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes
It has been proposed that organic nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, act by producing nitric oxide (NO). However, the biochemical pathway for NO formation from GTN is not well understood. In the present study, we showed that nitrate formation from GTN, by isolated rat hepatocytes, was inhibited about 50% when cellular glutathione w...
متن کاملEffects of amino acids, ammonia and leupeptin on protein synthesis and degradation in isolated rat hepatocytes.
Protein synthesis in isolated rat hepatocytes, as measured by the incorporation of [14C]-valine at constant specific radioactivity, proceeded at a rate of 0.3-0.5%/h in an unsupplemented medium, i.e. only about one-tenth the rate of protein degradation (4%/h). Leupeptin, which inhibits lysosomal protein degradation (previously found to be 75% of the total degradation in hepatocytes), had no eff...
متن کاملAmino acid control of autophagic sequestration and protein degradation in isolated rat hepatocytes
Sequestration of the inert cytosolic marker [14C]sucrose by sedimentable organelles was measured in isolated rat hepatocytes made transiently permeable to sucrose by means of electropermeabilization. Lysosomal integrity, protein degradation, autophagic sequestration, and other cellular functions were not significantly impaired by the electric treatment. Hepatocytes sequestered sucrose at an ini...
