title: [Simultaneous assay of Ca(2+)-ATPase and Na+, K(+)-ATPase activities of osteoblast rat by malachite green colorimetic method].
abstract: The aim of this study was to find a method to measure simultaneously the activities of Ca(2+)-ATPase and Na+, K(+)-ATPase of rat osteoblast membrane. In this test, Ca(2+)-ATPase and Na+, K(+)-ATPase released inorganic phosphate (Pi) from ATP, and Pi was determined by colorimetric method using malachite green dye to show ATPase activities. Ca2+ concentration and osteoblast culture generation were important factors affecting ATPase activities. Ca2+ could elevate membrane ATPase activity. When Ca2+ concentration reached 40 mumol/L, ATPase activities were improved. Ca(2+)-ATPase activity decreased with the increase of osteoblast culture generation. Ca(2+)-ATPase activity was lower than Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in osteoblast membrane. This method is simple, sensitive and reliable.
