Characterization of furosemide-sensitive Mg2+ influx in Yoshida ascites tumor cells. 1986

T Günther, and J Vormann, and R Averdunk

Partially Mg2+-depleted Yoshida ascites tumor cells took up Mg2+ after reincubation in Mg2+- and HCO3(-)-containing media. Mg2+ influx was insensitive to ouabain, amiloride and disulfonic stilbenes, but was noncompetitively inhibited by furosemide (Ki = 0.4 mM) and bumetanide. Mg2+ influx obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to Mg2+ concentration (Km = 1.1 mM) and was sigmoidal with respect to HCO3- concentration. Electroneutral Mg2+, HCO3- cotransport was supposed to be the mechanism of Mg2+ influx.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008274	Magnesium	A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D009374	Neoplasms, Experimental	Experimentally induced new abnormal growth of TISSUES in animals to provide models for studying human neoplasms.	Experimental Neoplasms,Experimental Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Experimental
D010042	Ouabain	A cardioactive glycoside consisting of rhamnose and ouabagenin, obtained from the seeds of Strophanthus gratus and other plants of the Apocynaceae; used like DIGITALIS. It is commonly used in cell biological studies as an inhibitor of the NA(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE.	Acocantherin,G-Strophanthin,Acolongifloroside K,G Strophanthin
D002034	Bumetanide	A sulfamyl diuretic.	Bumedyl,Bumethanide,Bumex,Burinex,Drenural,Fordiuran,Miccil,PF-1593,PF 1593,PF1593
D005665	Furosemide	A benzoic-sulfonamide-furan. It is a diuretic with fast onset and short duration that is used for EDEMA and chronic RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.	Frusemide,Fursemide,Errolon,Frusemid,Furanthril,Furantral,Furosemide Monohydrochloride,Furosemide Monosodium Salt,Fusid,Lasix
D000584	Amiloride	A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.

D001639	Bicarbonates	Inorganic salts that contain the -HCO3 radical. They are an important factor in determining the pH of the blood and the concentration of bicarbonate ions is regulated by the kidney. Levels in the blood are an index of the alkali reserve or buffering capacity.
