Regulation of Na<sup>+</sup>,K<sup>+</sup>‐ATPase by persistent sodium accumulation in adult rat thalamic neurones
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present study investigated the regulatory mechanism of the Na+, K+-ATPase and the level of internal Na+ and Ca2+ in response to persistent Na+ influx in acutely dissociated rat thalamic neurones. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and Na+ imaging revealed a stable [Na+]i and low background pump activity. Exposure to veratridine (50 microM) for 1 h resulted in a progressive rise in [Na+]i (DeltaFNa = 64 +/-22%) and [Ca2+]i (DeltaFCa = 44 +/- 14%) over 3 h. Increases in [Na+]i and [Ca2+]i were also observed during neuronal exposure to the Na+ ionophore monensin (50 microM). Subcellular confocal immunofluorescence quantification of alpha3 catalytic Na+-K+ pump subunits showed that a veratridine-induced rise in [Na+]i was accompanied by a significant increase in pump density in both membrane and cytoplasmic compartments, by 39 and 54%, respectively. Similar results were also obtained in experiments when neurones were treated with monensin. A fluorescent 9-anthroylouabain binding assay detected a 60 and 110% increase in phosphorylated (active) pumps after veratridine and monensin exposure, respectively. During the entire experiment, application of ouabain or veratridine alone induced little cell swelling and death, but pump inhibition in cells pre-loaded with Na+ led to rapid cell swelling and necrosis. The above results indicate that a persistent influx of Na+ may trigger rapid enhancement of pump synthesis, membrane redistribution and functional activity. However, these compensatory mechanisms failed to prevent persistent Na+ accumulation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
