SNP- and DETA-NO-induced inhibition of ouabain-sensitive Na,K-ATPase was abolished in transgenic mutant SOD1 mice and transgenic normal human SOD1 overexpressors. Spinal cord tissue slices were incubated with or without ODQ (1 μm) for 3 min at 34°C, followed by incubation with DETA-NO (100 μm) or SNP (100 μm) for 15 min at 34°C. Drugs were removed, tissue slices were homogenized, and ouabain-sensitive Na,K-ATPase activity was measured. For all graphs that are shown, activity is expressed as μmol Pi/hr per milligram of protein, and values represent the means ± SEM for experiments on three animals done in triplicate.
