Cytochemical studies of myocardial adenylate cyclase after its activation and inhibition

J Slezak and SA Geller

Incubation medium, as previously described (J Histochem Cytochem 27:774, 1979), was used to demonstrate the presence of adenylate cyclase (AC) in myocardium. NaF and ouabain were used to inhibit adenosine triphosphatases (ATP) and NaF and isoproterenol were used as activators of AC. The inhibitory effect of adenosine on AC was blocked by the addition of adenosine deaminase. The addition of tetramisol blocked the influence of the alkaline phosphatases on adenylyl imidodiphosphate hydrolysis. The use of these substances resulted in specific precipitation localized in junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum and sarcolemma. The reaction product was dramatically intensified after activation of AC by NaF or isoproterenol. Preincubation in 10-100 mM of propranolol, for 30 min, blocked AC stimulation by isoproterenol and prevented the appearance of the specific precipitate. The localization of specific precipitate in junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum and subsarcolemmal cisternae corresponds to the localization of Na+, K+ ATPase and may reflect the similar role that AC and Na+, K+ ATPase play in calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum of internal and peripheral couplings.
