About This Book

Animals and Environmental Fitness: Physiological and Biochemical Aspects of Adaptation and Ecology, Volume 2 contains the proceedings of the First Conference of the European Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry held in LiĆØge, Belgium, on August 27-31, 1979. The papers explore the physiology and biochemistry of animal adaptation and ecology and cover topics ranging from amino acid transport and metabolism during osmotic shock to the role of organic compounds in osmoregulation in plants and animals. This volume is comprised of 89 chapters and begins with an analysis of the transport and metabolism of amino acids under osmotic stress, followed by a discussion on cell volume regulation in isolated heart ventricles from the flounder, Platichthys flesus, perfused with anisosmotic media. Subsequent chapters focus on the effects of cholinergic drugs on the osmotic fragility of erythrocytes; strategies of osmoregulation in the fiddler crab Uca pugilator; ionic regulation in the African catfish Clarias mossambicus in water and air; and environmental and endocrine factors controlling osmotic water fluxes in gills of Sarotherodon (tilapia) mossambicus. The effect of seawater adaptation on the phosphatidyl-choline metabolism in the eel is also considered, along with evaporative water loss in anuran amphibians. This book will be of value to zoologists, physiologists, biologists, and biochemists.

AMINO ACID TRANSPORT AND METABOLISM DURING OSMOTIC SHOCK IN EHRLICH ASCITES TUMOR CELLS

I.H. Lambert and E.K. Hoffmann,Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Inst. Biol. Chem. A, August Krogh Institute, University of Copenhagen 13, Universitetsparken, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ƙ, Denmark

Publisher Summary

The participation of the amino acid pool in the regulation of osmotic equilibrium that the cell maintains with its surrounding fluid is a well known phenomenon. The modification of the transport parameters and the intracellular metabolism of the amino acids have been proposed as the two main mechanisms implicated in the regulation of the amino acid concentration that takes place during the cellular volume readjustment, which follows an osmotic stress. This chapter discusses a study to examine amino acid transport and metabolism mechanisms during osmotic shock in Ehrilich ascites tumor cells. The largest changes under osmotic stress were recorded in concentrations of small nonessential amino acids and taurine, with the greatest changes found in alanine, glycine, and taurine.
The participation of the amino acid pool in the regulation of osmotic equilibrium that the cell maintains with its surrounding fluid, is a wellknown phenomenon (see Gilles 1979, Hoffmann 1977). Modification of the transport parameters and the intracellular metabolism of the amino acids have been proposed as the two main mechanisms implicated in the regulation of the amino acid concentration that takes place during the cellular volume readjustment which follows an osmotic stress (Gilles 1979). We have therefore undertaken a study on an effort to characterize those mechanisms in Ehrlich Ascites tumor cells where amino acids are found to be active in the osmoregulation (Hoffmann and Hendil 1976).
The largest changes under osmotic stress were recorded in concentrations of small nonessential amino acids and taurine, with the greatest changes found in alanine, glycine and taurine (Hoffmann and Hendil 1976). This report therefore deals more specifically with the transport and metabolism of these.

Metabolism.

To distinguish the effect of alteration in extracellular osmolarity from the effect of reduction in extracellular ionic concentration during hypoosmotic stress, we compared results from cells in five different types of media:(A) control medium with unchanged ion concentration and unchanged osmolarity.(B) & (C) salt solution diluted with distilled water in order to lower both ion concentration and total osmolarity to respectively 75% and 50% of the control values.(D) & (E) salt solution diluted with sucrose solution in order to decrease ion concentration as in (B) and (C) respectively, but maintaining solutions isotonic with the control medium. All measurements were made after the cells had reached their new steady state volume. By comparing (B) with (D) and (C) with (E) we observed the effect of osmotic changes. By comparing (A) with (D) or (E) we observed the the effect of reduction in ion concentration.
The direct method of Warburg (Umbreit-Burris-Stauffer 1964) was used to estimate the oxygen consumption and the total carbon dioxide production. The production of 14C-CO2 from labelled amino acids was measured by addition of the 14C-amino acids to the cell suspension in Warburg vessels, and collecting all the produced carbon dioxide on a filterpaper, moistened with KOH. The respiratory quotient (RQ) is calculated as carbon dioxide-production divided by the oxygen-consumption.
The Warburg experiments showed that:
(1)Ā During hypoosmotic stress the RQ-values increase as a result of a reduction in oxygen consumption (induced by reduction in ion concentration) and an increase in carbon dioxide production (induced by reduction in osmolarity).
(2)Ā Glycine and Alanine, but not taurine, can be oxidized to carbon dioxide by Ehrlich Ascites cells.
(3)Ā During hypoosmotic stress there is an increased 14C-CO2 production from 14C-alanine, while 14C-CO2production from 14C-glycine is unchanged.
(4)Ā The 14C-CO2 specific activity for alanine increases significantly when the medium is diluted to 75% of its normal value (medium B).
This indicates that the Ehrlich Ascites cells withstand a hypoosmotic stress partly by a modification in the mechanisms controlling the catabolic activity of alanine and a general modification of the related oxidative metabolism.

Pump and leak parameters.

Influx and efflux were measured as initial rate fluxes, i.e. 6-8 samples were taken during the first minute after addition of the amino acid by a filter technique (Hoffmann et a1 1979)
Results showed that a decrease in ion concentration with unchanged osmolarity had no significant effect on the leak permeability of either glycin or taurin. At 50% the active uptake of glycine decreases whereas the active uptake of taurine increases ionic concentration.
On the other hand, a decrease in osmolarity with unchanged ion concentration, increased the permeability and decreased the active uptake of both glycine and taurine.

Conclusion.

This report shows that the decrease seen in the pool of nonessential amino acids and taurine under hypoosmotic conditions is achieved partly by an increased oxidation of e.g. alanine, and partly by an increased permeability to some amino acids as well as an decreased pump rate for the same amino acids. These selective changes in transport parameters are induced in Ehrlich Ascites tumor cells by changes in the cell volume.

CELL VOLUME REGULATION IN ISOLATED HEART VENTRICLES FROM THE FLOUNDER, PLATICHTHYS FLESUS, PERFUSED WITH ANISOSMOTIC MEDIA

T. Vislie, Zoological Institute, University of Oslo, Blindern, Oslo 3, Norway

Publisher Summary

This chapter discusses a study that deals with the cell volume regulation mechanism in isolated, heating heart ventricles from seawater and freshwater adapted flounders perfused with hyposmotic and hyperosmotic saline, respectively. Hearts from both sea water and fresh water adapted flounders were used as controls, perfused with salines isosmotic to the plasma. In both these control groups, the tissue water content and the intracellular concentrations of solutes in heart ventricles showed only small variations and were consistent with the values found in vivo. Thus, the perfusion procedure, per se seemed to have no effect on the ventricle musculature, which could influence the results. However, the water content of heart ventricles from sea water flounders, submitted to the hyposmotic saline, increased to a maximal value within 60 min, which subsequently was followed by a shrinkage to a new steady level within 6 hrs.
Adapting sea water flounders, Platichthys flesus, to fresh water the plasma osmolality decreases about 20% (V...
