Impermeability of rabbit erythrocytes to prostaglandins

The American Journal of Physiology
L Z Bito, R A Baroody

Abstract

Washed rabbit erythrocytes were suspended in Tris-electrolyte buffer containing [3H]prostaglandin (PG) E1, F1alpha, F2alpha, or A1 and one 14C-labeled compound such as sucrose. After up to 24 h of incubation, aliquots of centrifuged, packed cells and supernatant were oxidized and the 3H and 14C samples were counted. The mean sucrose space of the packed cell was 7.4%. After 1 min the E1, F1alpha, and F2alpha spaces were 16, 15.4, and 10.0%, respectively, and showed no increase even after 24 h of incubation at either 23 or 5 degrees C. At 23 degrees C the initial (0.5 min) PGA1 and thiourea spaces were 94 and 75%, respectively, whence the PGA1, but not the thiourea, space declined, reaching 30% at 4 h. The large initial uptake of PGA1 was eliminated at 5 degrees C, while it was accentuated at pH 6.8 or at a PGA1, concentration of 10(-3) M. 14C-Labeled arachidonic, octanoic, and other non-PG fatty acids gave apparent distribution spaces of 140-300%. These results show that PG's can partition into rabbit erythrocyte membranes, but the intracellular volume of the erythrocytes is not freely accessible to these autacoids. The implications of the finding that some cell membranes are impermeable to prostaglandins are discussed.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
