title: [Role of the alpha2-isoform of Na+, K(+)-ATPase in the positive inotropic effect of ouabain and marinobufagenin in the rat diaphragm].
abstract: It was shown that the specific inhibitors of Na+, K(+)-ATPase ouabain and marinobufagenin increased the contraction of an isolated rat diaphragm (positive inotropic effect) by up to approximately 15% in a dose-dependent manner with EC50 = 1.2 +/- 0.3 and 0.3 +/- 0.1 nM, respectively. The results indicate the involvement of the ouabain-sensitive alpha 2 isoform of Na+, K(+)-ATPase. The analysis of ouabain-resting membrane potential dose-response relationships in the presence and absence of hyperpolarizing concentration of acetylcholine (100 nM) suggests the existence of two pools of alpha 2 Na+, K(+)-ATPase with different affinities for ouabain. The pool with a higher ouabain affinity is involved in the hyperpolarizing effect of acetylcholine and, presumably, in the positive inotropic effect of ouabain, which might be a mechanism of regulation of muscle efficiency by circulating endogenous inhibitors of Na+, K(+)-ATPase.
