Abstract
Aim: Quantify the biodistribution and assess the toxicity of PLGA (poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid) and surface-modified PLGA chitosan (PLGA/Chi) nanoparticles (NPs) orally administered for 7, 14 and 21 days to F344 rats. Materials & methods: Fluorescent NPs were tracked in F344 rat tissues, and toxicity was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase and alanine transaminase levels, and by histologic examination of tissue samples. Results: Biodistribution of PLGA and PLGA/Chi were similar, with highest amounts found in the intestine and liver. Alkaline phosphatase increased significantly in treated rats. Mild histological differences were detected in the intestine and liver. Conclusion: PLGA and PLGA/Chi NPs behaved similarly presenting minimal toxicity in the liver and intestine, but not in kidney, lung and brain.

Abstract
Total activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum represents the sum of activities of some isoenzymes and their numerous isoforms derived from various tissues of the organism. The aim of this work was to separate ALP isoenzymes and their isoforms in rat and human serum, compare the properties of serum ALP isoforms in rats and humans, and determine the usefulness of some analytical methods for specific measurements of ALP isoenzyme and isoform activities. Two methods of separation, i.e. high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and agarose gel electrophoresis were chosen. The combination of HPLC with electrophoresis of the eluted fractions and with ALP inhibition methods (urea, l-phenylalanine), inactivation (heat) and precipitation (wheat-germ lectins) enabled the identification of isoenzymes and isoforms of ALP in serum. Using chromatography and a post-column reactor, three isoforms of the intestinal isoenzyme and one bone isoform of a tissue non-specific isoenzyme were detected. Rat serum differs significantly from human as regards activities of intestinal and hepatic isoforms, whereas the properties of the bone isoform are similar in both species. Our HPLC method offers a higher resolution than agarose gel electrophoresis with respect to ALP subfractions in rat serum.

Abstract
Enzymatic conversion of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked Zn2+-glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase was investigated. The activity of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase-D (GPI-PLD), based on the conversion of amphiphilic form of phosphodiesterase into hydrophilic form, showing an optimum pH of about pH 6.6, increased continuously until 60 min. The activity of membrane-bound GPI-PL, based on the formation of hydrophilic form of phosphodiesterase, exhibiting an optimum pH of 7.4, increased up to 30 min, and reached a plateau. Inhibition studies indicate that while GPI-PLD activity was generally sensitive to ionic bio-detergents, it was not inhibited by myristoyl glycerol, a neutral detergent. Meanwhile, the membrane-bound GPI-PL was not affected remarkably by these detergents except that myristoyl glycerol expressed a modest increase of activity of membrane bound GPI-PL. In addition, the membrane-bound GPI-PL appeared to be enhanced by by suramin or oleic acid, which strongly inhibited GPI-PLD. From this results, it is suggested that in brain there may be two phospholipases responsible for the conversion of membrane-bound GPI-anchors to hydrophilic forms, and that this conversion might be regulated by endogenous lipids.

Abstract
Electron microscopic observations showed that the fungal metabolite brefeldin A caused disassembly of the Golgi complex in human choriocarcinoma cells and accumulation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nuclear envelope, where ALP was not apparently detectable in control cells. Pulse/chase experiments with [35S]methionine demonstrated that in the control cells, ALP synthesized as a 63-kDa precursor form was rapidly converted to a 66-kDa form, by processing of its N-linked oligosaccharides from the high-mannose type to the complex type, which was expressed on the cell surface after 30 min of chase. In contrast, in the brefeldin-A-treated cells the precursor was gradually converted to a 65-kDa form, slightly smaller than the control mature form, which was not expressed on the cell surface even after a prolonged time of chase. Kinetics of the ALP processing in the brefeldin-A-treated cells demonstrated that the precursor was initially converted to an intermediate form, partially sensitive to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo H), then to an endo-H-resistant 65-kDa form. In addition, this form was found to be sensitive to neuraminidase digestion, though its sialylation was not so complete as that of the control mature form. Taken together, these results suggest that under disassembly of the Golgi complex caused by brefeldin A, oligosaccharide-processing enzymes including sialyltransferase, an enzyme in the trans Golgi cisterna(e) and/or the trans Golgi network, might be redistributed into the ER and involved in processing of the oligosaccharides of ALP accumulating there.

Abstract
There are a wide variety of laboratory tests available to assess damage to and functional impairment of the liver, though the effectiveness of these tests varies greatly depending upon the type of damage and the animal species involved. Species differences in tissue localization, metabolism, specificity and sensitivity of parameters relating to the liver influence the choice of tests. Some tests can be applied usefully to most animal species while others may be highly specific in one species but show very low discriminatory potential in others. The tests available, and their use in veterinary and toxicological investigations have been reviewed in the light of current practice in the U.K.

Abstract
A major glycoprotein of rat hepatoma plasma membranes was selectively released as a soluble form by incubating the membrane with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. The soluble form corresponding to the glycoprotein was also prepared by butan-1-ol extraction of microsomal membranes at pH 5.5, whereas extraction at pH 8.5 yielded an electrophoretically different form with a hydrophobic nature. The soluble glycoprotein extracted at pH 5.5 was purified by sequential chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-300 and anti-(alkaline phosphatase) IgG-Sepharose, the last step being used to remove a contaminating alkaline phosphatase. The glycoprotein thus purified was a single protein with Mr 130,000 in SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, although it behaved as a dimer in gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. The glycoprotein was analysed for amino acid and carbohydrate composition. The composition of the carbohydrate moiety, which amounted to 64% by weight, suggested that the glycoprotein contained much larger numbers of N-linked oligosaccharide chains than those with O-linkage. It was confirmed that the purified glycoprotein was immunologically identical not only with that released by the phospholipase C but also with the hydrophobic form extracted with butan-1-ol at pH 8.5. The results indicate that the glycoprotein of rat hepatoma plasma membranes, which has an unusually high content of carbohydrate, is another membrane protein released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, as documented for alkaline phosphatase, acetylcholinesterase and Thy-1 antigen.

Abstract
1. Activities of alkaline phosphatase, liver-membranous, liver-soluble and serum-soluble, were dramatically induced in dogs by treatment with both phenobarbital and brovanexine. The treatment induced a 17-fold increase in membranous, a 155-fold increase in soluble, and a 105-fold increase in serum alkaline phosphatases. 2. There was no difference in the enzymatic behavior of the three forms of alkaline phosphatase, on heat stability, amino acid inhibition and optimum pH. 3. When the three alkaline phosphatases were treated initially with n-butanol, their apparent molecular size was identical. After treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, the liver-soluble and serum-soluble alkaline phosphatase were of the same molecular size. Liver-membranous alkaline phosphatase, however, was larger in molecular size than the other two forms, suggesting a difference between soluble and membranous alkaline phosphatase forms. 4. In terms of the sugar moiety of the three alkaline phosphatase forms, the membranous enzyme showed more of the higher affinity fraction and less of the lower affinity fraction of concanavalin A, compared with the soluble enzymes. 5. Consequently, it is possible that the membranous enzyme may be solubilized by an enzyme such as phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C and modify further the sugar moiety of alkaline phosphatase molecules, resulting in serum alkaline phosphatase transfer from the soluble enzyme in liver.

Abstract
We examined the effects of weakly basic amines on the secretion and post-translational modifications of secretory proteins in cultured rat hepatocytes. Weakly basic amines such as methylamine, chloroquine and NH4Cl strongly inhibited not only protein secretion, but also the proteolytic conversion of a proform of complement C3, allowing the precursor to be released into the medium. The amines, however, had no effect on the proteolytic conversion of prohaptoglobin into its subunits. Since available evidence indicates that the conversion of pro-C3 occurs at the Golgi complex while that of prohaptoglobin takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum, it is most likely that the weak bases specifically affect the proteolytic event occurring at the Golgi complex. Electron microscopic observations confirmed that the amines caused morphological changes of the Golgi complex, consisting of dilated cisternae and swollen vacuoles. When the glycosylation of alpha 1-protease inhibitor and haptoglobin was examined, it was found that the amines caused a marked accumulation in the cells of both glycoproteins corresponding to the mature secreted forms. Neuraminidase digestion demonstrated that the glycoproteins accumulating in response to the amines had acquired terminal sialic acid. The results indicate that the amines do not significantly affect terminal glycosylation, in contrast with their definite effect on proteolytic processing, despite the fact that both modifications take place in the Golgi complex.

Abstract
We developed a method for selective preparation of two forms of alkaline phosphatase from rat tissues. The enzyme was extracted by n-butanol treatment at pH 5.5 and pH 8.5 as soluble and aggregated (membranous) forms, respectively. The soluble form prepared from liver was found to be identical with the serum enzyme. Complete solubilization of the membrane-bound enzyme without detergents had a great advantage in its purification. Rat hepatoma AH-130 cells enriched in alkaline phosphatase were first used for purification of the liver-type enzyme. The hepatoma enzyme, purified by chromatographies on concanavalin-A-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-300 and hydroxyapatite was used for production of antibodies specific for the liver-type isozyme. An immunoaffinity column, prepared with anti-(hepatoma-enzyme) IgG was utilized for the enzyme purification from other tissues including the membranous form. Analyses of amino acid composition of the purified enzymes revealed that all the liver-type enzymes from hepatoma, liver, kidney and serum had the same composition, whereas the intestinal type consisted of the composition distinctly different from that in the liver type. In addition, there was no significant difference in amino acid composition between the soluble and membranous forms, suggesting a possible involvement in the membranous form of a hydrophobic component other than its polypeptide domain. The present method for selective preparation of the soluble and membranous forms of alkaline phosphatase will be useful for a further investigation on the interaction of the enzyme with membranes.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase was solubilized from plasma membrane of rat liver with butanol-ol, bile acids or sodium deoxycholate, and electrophoretically compared with a soluble form in serum which was derived from the liver. The three enzyme preparations from the plasma membrane migrated at the same position on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of either Triton X-100 or sodium dodecyl sulphate. The mobility of them, however, was distinctly different from that of the serum-soluble form of the liver-derived alkaline phosphatase. On the other hand, phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C isolated from Bacillus cereus was used to release alkaline phosphatase from plasma membrane. The released alkaline phosphatase was demonstrated to have the same mobility as the serum-soluble form on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence or absence of detergents. The phospholipase C also converted the butan-1-ol-extracted membrane form into the serum-soluble form. The results suggest that release of alkaline phosphatase from the liver into serum is not simply caused by a detergent effect of bile salts, but involves an enzymic hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol, with which alkaline phosphatase may strongly interact in the membrane.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase released from rat liver plasma membrane under usual conditions was electrophoretically not identical with a soluble form in serum which was derived from the liver. The liver-membranous alkaline phosphatase, however, was converted to the serum-soluble form when the liver plasma membrane was treated with n-butanol under the acidic conditions lower than pH 6.5. Such pH-dependent conversion of the enzyme was not observed in plasma membrane of rat ascites hepatoma AH-130 cells. The converting activity for alkaline phosphatase was detected not only in plasma membrane but also in lysosomal membrane of rat liver.
