Abstract

1. The plasma clearance of intravenously injected 125I-labelled mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (half-life 7 min) was not influenced by previous injection of suramin and/or leupeptin (inhibitors of intralysosomal proteolysis). 2. Pretreatment with both inhibitors considerably delayed degradation of endocytosed enzyme in liver, spleen, bone marrow and kidneys. 3. The tissue distribution of radioactivity was determined at 30 min after injection, when only 3% of the dose was left in plasma. All injected radioactivity was still present in the carcass. The major part of the injected dose was found in liver (49%), spleen (5%), kidneys (13%) and bone, including marrow (11%). 4. Liver cells were isolated 15 min after injection of labelled enzyme. We found that Kupffer cells and parenchymal cells had endocytosed the enzyme at rates corresponding to 9530 and 156 ml of plasma/day per g of cell protein respectively. Endothelial cells do not significantly contribute to uptake of the enzyme. 5. Uptake by Kupffer cells was saturable, whereas uptake by parenchymal cells was not. This suggests that these cell types endocytose the enzyme via different receptors. 6. Previous injection of carbon particles greatly decreased uptake of the enzyme by liver, spleen and bone marrow.
