Effect of reversible and irreversible ischemia on marker enzymes of BBM from renal cortical PT subpopulations.
The effect of the reversible and relatively irreversible ischemia induced acute renal failure (ARF) in the activities of alkaline phosphatase (AlkPase) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGTase) after early (15-30 min) and prolonged (45-60 min) ischemia in the homogenates, and the brush-border membranes (BBM) from rat renal whole, superficial (SC), and juxtamedullary (JMC) cortices were studied. The enzyme activities declined progressively in proportion to the duration of ischemia. Early blood reflow of 15 min to the ischemic rats caused a further decrease in the enzyme activities. However, prolonged reflow (up to 120 min) resulted in partial reversal of the ischemic effect in the early but not in the prolonged ischemic rats. The decrease in the enzyme activities was due to the loss of membrane-bound enzyme components from the damaged BBM into the supernatant fraction as membrane-free enzymes. The activities of AlkPase and GGTase were significantly more decreased by the ischemia in the brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV)-JMC than in BBMV-SC. The rate of recovery due to reflow for AlkPase was greater in BBMV-SC than apparently for GGTase in BBMV-JMC in early ischemic (15-30 min) rats.
