pubmed:abstractText
Metabolically competent isolated cerebral cortical nerve terminals were used to determine the effects of triethyllead (TEL) and triethyltin (TET) on cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]c), on plasma and mitochondrial membrane potentials, and on oxidative metabolism. In the presence of physiological concentrations of extracellular ions, 20 microM TEL and 20 microM TET increase [Ca2+]c from 185 nM to 390 and 340 nM, respectively. A simultaneous depolarization of plasma membrane potential (delta psi p) by only 3-4 mV occurs, a drop which is insufficient to open the voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels. In contrast, an instant and substantial depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi m) upon addition of TEL and TET is evident, as monitored with safranine O fluorescence. At the same concentration, TEL and TET stimulate basal respiration of synaptosomes by 45%, induce oxidation of endogenous NAD(P)H, and reduce the terminal ATP/ADP ratio by 45%. Thus, TEL and TET inhibit ATP production of intrasynaptosomal mitochondria by a mechanism consistent with uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. This bioenergetic effect by TEL and TET can be prevented by omitting external chloride, and a concomitant reduction of the increase in [Ca2+]c by about 60% is observed. Uncoupling of mitochondrial ATP synthesis from oxidation by TEL and TET, [corrected] a process that is dependent on external chloride, is the main mechanism by which they [corrected] increase [Ca2+]c.
